Garmin GPSmap 721 display with the connected Barometer and two Thermometers The Thermometer sensor cable can be elongated up to 100 m by the user himself (note that the warranty for the modified Device is not maintained). To do this, turn the Device off, cut the cable in the middle (see Appendix B) and extend it with a three-conductor wire and properly insulate the joints.
  • Page 14 The core section of the connection cable must not be less than 0.2 sq. mm, with the diameter of 0.5 mm. Cables of UTP 3, UTP 5, UTP 5e categories with the AWG-24 and AWG-22 labelling used for telephone lines and computer networks are suitable for the role of a connection cable.

    III. Device Programming and Settings Programming of the Device should not be performed at sea. The Device can be programmed by three methods. Table 1 on the next page shows the applicability of the methods for different settings. The following methods are supported: 1.
  • Page 16 Table 1. Applicability of the programming methods Method Number Setting or action NMEA 2000 device instance and system instance NMEA 2000 data instance Type of a measured data (Thermometer only) Transmission interval for periodic messages Note 1 Sensor reading offset Note 3 Installation description Reset all settings to factory values...
  • Page 17 NMEA 2000 data instance (2) may be used when multiple Devices are installed. For example, data on the refrigerator temperature with instance 3 can be displayed as “Temperature in refrigerator № 3”. Chart plotters with factory settings are usually able to show only one value with data instance 0, but manufacturers may supply dealers and professional installers by internal instruments to customize chart plotter screens.
  • Page 18 The next two Sections describe the details of Device programming with methods [2] and [1]. Regarding method [3], please refer to your software manual and the NMEA 2000 Standard. Table 2. Setting type of a measured data for the Thermometer NMEA 2000 messages, PGN Type Description...

  • Page 23: Programming With Datum Or Variation

    V. Programming with Datum or Variation This method suitable for Devices with any firmware version. To program the Device with this method, you must connect it to a network with a chart plotter. This method of programming is tricky, but is compatible with virtually all NMEA 2000 chart plotters.
  • Page 24 If one network includes several chart plotters, turn off all of them except the one from which you will program the Device. If multiple Devices are connected to the network, they will be programmed at the same time. The Device confirms commands received from the chart plotter by lighting LEDs for 3 seconds once or repeatedly.
  • Page 25 • 28°W for the Thermometer • 29°E for the Barometer Usually the plotter sends notifications on settings every 20 seconds. When changing the setting on the plotter as mentioned above, do not forget to remember the initial configuration of the plotter. Cycle the Device power. Within a minute after the Device is turned on, it will produce a confirmation signal (LED will light up for 3 seconds).
  • Page 26 Or change the magnetic variation setting to: • 29°E for the Thermometer • 28°W for the Barometer The Device will produce one confirmation signal and enter programming mode. The programming mode ends automatically 10 minutes after the Device power is turned on. Four confirmation signals are produced at the same time. After that, the Device returns to normal operation mode.

  • Page 29 Programming the Device is performed by changing the chart datum or magnetic variation setting on the plotter. The Device confirms the command by producing a single signal (unless shown otherwise in Table 3). The Device must be previously put into programming mode (STEP 2). Please note that changing the Device settings occurs only when changing the plotter configuration.
