3 Essentials
3.1 Batteries
The N2KMeter requires 2 "AA" alkaline batteries for viewing measurements offline. The
N2KMeter must be plugged into a powered network to get most measurements. The N2KMeter
will run off NMEA 2000
batteries if you plan to use the Lock and offline viewing features.
3.2 AutoSearch Mode
AutoSearch mode saves you time by finding the network measurements that exceed acceptable
limits. It works by examining all measurements and then pinpointing any that exceed or are close
to specified limits. For each problem measurement, the N2KMeter indicates the measurement's
switch position number in the upper left corner of the display. Rotate the selector switch to the
indicated setting to view related measurements. To use AutoSearch, follow these simple
instructions:
1. Make sure the Lock switch is in the "Run" position and turn the selector switch to
AutoSearch
2. If you see
, all measurements are within limits.
3. If you see
or
"Switch setting <Setting #>, <MIN> or <MAX> and/or <P-P> is close to
the spec limits."
Then press
and repeat the process for the next bad/marginal value. To get more detail, turn
the selector switch to the indicated position and use the buttons
