  • Page 8: Chapter 1. Physical Installation

    Operation and Installation CD401MR-SC CHAPTER 1. Physical installation ____________________________________________________________________ The Multi Repeater CD401MR is a stand alone unit and does not require additional circuitry. It should be supplied by a 24 V (19 V-36 V) 25 W DC supply and the cabling of the system is as per diagram below.

  • Page 9: The Dimming Inputs

    Operation and Installation CD401MR-SC The Dimming Inputs Pulses of at least 60 ms on the dimming up and dimming down cables will cause the dimming to change by one level. The inputs are optocoupled and therefore require an external voltage to operate, (5 Volt -24 Volt (Typically 5/12/24 Volt)).

    Operation and Installation CD401MR-SC CHAPTER 2. Setting up and using the Compact Multi Repeater Display _____________________________________________________________________ Principles The Compact Multi Repeater Display is a flexible dot matrix LED display designed to display navigation data. The Multi Repeater can be user programmed to show most kinds of numerical data from NMEA messages.

  • Page 11: Activating The Runtime Screens

    Operation and Installation CD401MR-SC Activating the runtime screens The system has three user preset runtime screens (SCR1, SCR2, SCR3). The Screen Menu allows the user to configure and choose which runtime screens to be included in normal operation. UP and DOWN buttons will scroll to the available screens. By using the SET button, the user can control each individual screen to ON, OFF or SHIFTING.

  • Page 14: Setup Of Inputs

    Operation and Installation CD401MR-SC Setup of inputs The system will allow many NMEA formats to be displayed. No setup is required. The system has 2 input channels, both of these may be used. Changing of the baud rate The NMEA (IEC61162-1) standard is 4800 baud. Some vessels run with higher baud rates.

  • Page 15: Chapter 3. Configuring The Screens

    Beaufort using the SET button. The Set button is used to reset the Trip counter if Trip Screen is displayed and the Multi Repeater is connected to a SKIPPER EML 224 system or a DL850 270 kHz system.

  • Page 16: Configuration And Operational Screen

    Operation and Installation CD401MR-SC Configuration and operational screen The programming of parameters to show on the screen is very flexible. It is advise to add leading text before the parameters and not mixing too many different messages. A typical configuration is to show two related parameters on the screen simultaneously with leading text.

  • Page 17: Depth

    Operation and Installation CD401MR-SC Depth The NMEA sentences DPT, DBS, DBT, DBK and PSKPDPT are all supported for receiving information about the depth.

    Operation and Installation CD401MR-SC Rotation The NMEA sentence ROT is supported for receiving information about the rotation. A steady arrow is added on the text line to indicate which direction the bow turns. • A positive received value indicates that bow turns to starboard and an arrow to the right is displayed.

  • Page 22: Pitch And Roll

    Operation and Installation CD401MR-SC Pitch and Roll The NMEA sentence XDR, version B is supported for receiving information about the pitch and roll. • A positive received value for pitch indicates that the bow is up and negative if bow is down.

  • Page 23: Wind

    Operation and Installation CD401MR-SC Wind The NMEA sentences MWV, VWR, VWT and MWD are all supported for receiving information about the wind speed and direction. MWV is recommended instead of VWR and VWT, when available. All wind speed units are accepted (knots (N), m/s (M) and km/h (K)) and converted to wanted speed units to display on the screen.
