    The external alarm can be a small piezo buzzer connected directly, or a horn siren connected through a relay. Alarms are configured globally in the system. That is, they can be configured on any one networked multifunction device or instrument, and be seen, heard, and acknowledged from all devices. Individual devices can also be configured to not sound their internal buzzer, but still display the alarm information.
  • Page 28 Connector details Unit socket (male) Purpose Shield NET-S (+12 V DC) NET-C (DC negative) NET-H NET-L Plan and install an NMEA 2000 network An NMEA 2000 network consists of a powered backbone from which drop cables connect to NMEA 2000 devices. The backbone needs to run within 6 m (20 ft) of the locations of all products to be connected, typically in a bow to stern layout.
  • Page 29 NMEA 2000 device Drop-cable Terminator Power supply Backbone Powering the NMEA 2000 network The network requires its own 12 V DC power supply, protected by a 3 A fuse. For smaller systems: connect power at any location in the backbone. For larger systems: connect power at a central point in the backbone to balance the voltage drop of the network.
  • Page 30: Echosounder

    Ú Note: Do not connect the NMEA 2000 power cable to the same terminals as the engine start batteries, autopilot computer, bow thruster or other high current devices. Echosounder Ú Note: A 7-pin transducer cable can be connected to a 9-pin port using a 7-pin to 9-pin adaptor cable.

Ú Note: Radars that support dual radar mode are represented twice in the source list, with an A and B suffix. Radar status Displays scanner information and scanner features, primarily used for information and to assist with fault finding.
  • Page 37 The antenna height is the height of the antenna above the water line, when vessel is carrying a typical load. It is very important to set the antenna height correctly as this will affect the sea clutter function. The antenna span is the total length of the antenna. Adjust bearing alignment This option is used to align the heading marker on the screen with the center line of the vessel.
  • Page 38 By default, this control is set to auto and normally should not need to be adjusted. However, if there is significant metallic clutter around the radar, sidelobe suppression may need to be increased. To adjust the sidelobe suppression value: Set radar range to between 1/2 nm to 1 nm and the sidelobe suppression to auto Take the vessel to a location where sidelobe returns are likely to be seen.
  • Page 39 Adjust open array park angle The park angle is the final resting position of the antenna relative to the heading line of the radar when the radar is set to standby. The antenna will stop rotating at the desired offset. Adjust local interference reject Interference from some onboard sources can interfere with the Broadband radar.
  • Page 40: Echosounder Settings

    Adjust the range offset as below when the vessel is about 45 to 90 m (50 to 100 yards) from a straight-walled jetty or similar feature that produces a straight line echo on the display. Position the vessel in relation to the jetty. Adjust the range offset to make the jetty echo appear as a straight line on the display.
  • Page 41 distance from the transducer to the lowest point of the boat in the water or from the transducer to the water surface. • To show the depth from the lowest point of the vessel to the bottom, set the offset equal to the vertical distance between the transducer and the lowest part of the vessel, A (negative value).
  • Page 42 Source Select this option to display a list of sources available for setup. The settings you make in the rest of the dialog pertain to the source selected. Source name Select this option to set a descriptive name for the selected transducer.
  • Page 43 • For depth below transducer, set the offset to 0. Water speed calibration Water speed calibration is used to adjust the speed value from the paddle wheel to match the actual boat speed through the water. Actual speed can be determined from GPS speed over ground (SOG) or by timing the boat over a known distance.
  • Page 44 the temperature reading may be inaccurate or not available at all if the wrong transducer is selected. Transducer temperature sensors are one of two impedances - 5k or 10k. Where both options are given for the same model transducer, refer to paperwork supplied with transducer to determine impedance.
  • Page 45: Autopilot Settings

    Network echosounder mode The network echosounder mode setting selects whether only one or multiple echosounder sources can be selected at the same time. Ú Note: Single source is automatically selected if there are older legacy echosounders on the network. You cannot change this setting if older legacy echosounders are on the network.
  • Page 46 Ú Note: The autopilot must be commissioned prior to first use and any time after autopilot default settings have been restored. Cable steer calibration Ú Note: The rudder source must be set to rudder feedback to be able to run this calibration Start the calibration process by selecting the rudder feedback calibration option, and follow the onscreen instructions.
