The Color Twinscope can operate with two displays: one
being designated as the Master (#1) and the other as the
Remote (#2). The transducer cables connect to the Master
(#1) unit and the signal is automatically switched between
the Master (#1) and the Remote(#2) during operation.
The normal Color Twinscope will operate as a stand-alone
unit or as a Remote unit in a two display installation, but
can not operate as a Master unit.
The Color Twinscope Remote Kit includes A 30' Remote
ORANGE
Cable (P/N 04-0014-009) that carries the sonar information
YELLOW
from the transducer between the two displays.
It should be connected between the extra (third) 9-pin
GREEN
connector on the rear of the Master(#1) unit and the 9-pin
GREEN or Vertical input connector on the Remote (#2)
unit. In addition, the two units need to be connected via
their serial ports with a three wire cable as shown on the
sketch on the left.
Note that the Orange wire from the Master (#1) connects
to the Yellow wire from the Remote (#2) and the Yellow
wire from the Master (#1) connects to the Orange wire
from the Remote (#2). The Green wires from both units
are tied together.
Once connected, you will need to go into the SETUP menu
ORANGE
of each unit and set the standard unit up as a REMOTE(#2)
YELLOW
and the other unit unit (the once included with the
REMOTE STATION KIT with three 9-pin connectors on
GREEN
the rear) as the MASTER(#1) unit. See page 16 for
details.
In a two-station system, the Master (#1) must always be
turned on. Then, if the Remote PWR button is pressed, the
Master (#1) display will go into a standby mode while the
Remote (#2) is being used. To re-activate the Master
(#1) station, the Master Display PWR button needs to be
briefly pressed. (pressing for more than a few seconds will
turn the Master off).
If the Master (#1) is turned off, for any reason, both
displays will not function.
