To reset a rudder error on a B&G Network Series device, switch off the instruments at the power supply, wait a few moments, and then switch them on again. If the fault remains, record the error number, switch off the supply, disconnect the faulty unit, and return it with the error number for servicing.

    INTRODUCTION TO NETWORK QUAD GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO B&G NETWORK The Network QUAD unit measures and displays Speed, The B&G Network range of instruments is designed to be Depth, Log, Timer and Sea Temperature information on a used as individual units or connected together to form an large back-lit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).

  • Page 3: Introduction To Network Quad

    NETWORK QUAD DISPLAY UNIT INTRODUCTION TO NETWORK QUAD CONT'D The Network QUAD unit has three adjustable alarms: 1. Shallow water alarm 2. Deep water alarm 3. Anchor alarm An internal alarm buzzer will sound when an alarm condition is met and the display will flash. The alarm is broadcast to all other Network Instruments in an integrated system, they will also sound their alarms and flash their displays (except Network WIND and Network TACK).

  • Page 4: Example Systems Using Network Quad

    EXAMPLES SYSTEMS USING NETWORK QUAD Only one Network QUAD unit should have speed and depth sensors connected to it and set to transducer mode. Up to three more Network QUAD (set to repeater mode) or QUAD REPEATER units can be connected on to the system network.

  • Page 5: Selecting The Display Mode

    SELECTING THE DISPLAY MODE The Network QUAD unit has two operating modes. The correct mode must be selected for your Network system to operate properly. tYPEt Transducer mode, the unit uses and displays speed and depth data from sensors connected directly into the display unit. tYPEr Repeater mode, the unit operates as a repeater using data from the system network.

  • Page 6: Using The Speed Key

    USING THE SPEED KEY Boat speed information is permanently displayed in the top area of the LCD. Press the SPEED key to cycle through the following options: SPEED Current boat speed in Knots, can also be displayed in MPH. Average boat speed since the last reset of AVERAGE SPEED the trip log.

  • Page 7: Calibration And Operating Parameters

    CALIBRATION AND OPERATING PARAMETERS When current boat speed is displayed, press the SETUP key to cycle through the following options: DAMPING The response time of the display to changes in boat speed. SPEED KNOT The boat speed can be displayed in Knots or MPH.

  • Page 8: Setting The Display Damping

    SETTING THE DISPLAY DAMPING Damping allows the response time of the displayed speed value to be slowed down if it is to jumpy in rough weather, or to sped it up when the conditions are calm. The damping works by averaging the values over a set time period; the longer the time period the smoother the readings, however the longer it takes to see a change.

  • Page 9: Setting The Speed And Log Units

    SETTING THE SPEED AND LOG UNITS The Network QUAD can be set to display boat speed in Knots or MPH. If boat speed is in Knots then log is in Nautical Miles. If boat speed is in MPH then log is in Statute Miles. Use ! or "...

  • Page 10: Speed And Log Calibration

    SPEED AND LOG CALIBRATION Before Network QUAD is used for navigation the boat speed and log have to be calibrated to ensure accuracy for your installation and the boats hull characteristics. Three methods are available with the Network QUAD unit, two manual adjustments and one automatic: MANUAL CALIBRATION 1.

  • Page 11: Manual Calibration - Cal

    METHOD 1. - MANUAL CALIBRATION - CAL This procedure requires a reference boat speed with which to IMPORTANT NOTE: This method of calibration must not be compare the Network QUAD units displayed boat speed. For carried out at boat speeds of LESS THAN 3 KNOTS as example, another boat with an accurate inaccurate values can be entered into the units memory.

  • Page 12: Manual Calibration - Log Cal

    METHOD 2. - MANUAL CALIBRATION - LOG CAL If the log or boat speed is in error by a known percentage then this method allows the calibration figure or LOG CAL to be adjusted by that amount. The calibration figure is measured in Hertz per knot (Hz/kt), the factory set value is 6.25.

  • Page 17: The Depth Datum - Cal

    THE DEPTH DATUM - CAL The depth datum CAL is an offset calibration value used to determine the displayed information reference point. It is added to the actual measured water depth to display the depth from the waterline, the depth sensor (transducer) or the keel/outdrive depth.
