System overview

The H5000 instrument and autopilot systems combine unique sailing features with race-
proven technology in a straightforward package. Developed for blue water cruisers and
racing yachts alike, the range brings powerful system options to match your exacting
requirements. From an ultra-fast CPU to a convenient web-browser interface access, full-color
and custom displays and a dedicated autopilot controller, the H5000 system was developed
to provide the best instrument and autopilot system available. The H5000 range comprises
several units which network with other onboard electronics including the Zeus range of chart
plotters.

The H5000 system is driven by a powerful Central Processing Unit (CPU) reaching speeds
up to 50 times greater than its predecessor, with Hydra, Hercules and Performance level
software options tailored for all users from serious cruisers to professional racers. It works with
B&G’s H3000 Wind, Speed, Heel and meteorological sensors for straightforward upgrades.
The high resolution H5000 Graphic Display is highly intuitive and delivers information on a
5-inch bonded screen with fast, smooth display updates. The H5000 Race Display provides
segmented text, numbers and target indicator for the race information you need in a glance.

breaking predecessor , supporting the exact needs of a performance sailboat and its crew –
whether short-handed cruising or solo racing. In addition, the H5000 Pilot Controller provides
dedicated access to autopilot functions.

B&G’s web-browser interface lets you connect your PC or tablet to the network for setup,
calibration and control of every part of your H5000 system. It utilizes a familiar web browser
interface to allow quick calibration of instruments, easy setup of displays and confi guration of
