HS 2000 User Manual Part 1 - Introduction The Main Processor Unit contains the battery backed memory that stores all calibration, damping and alarm settings while the power is OFF; these are adjustable from any FFD. SENSORS 1.3.1 Paddle-Wheel The Paddle-Wheel Speed Sensor is designed primarily for cruising boats and consists of a paddle-wheel which protrudes through the hull via a hull-housing.
The FFD displays two functions and descriptive text at any one time. Any system function can be called up on any FFD, and up to 24 FFDs can be connected in the HS 2000 System from which all functions can be operated.
Part 1 - Introduction The NMEA FFD contains an NMEA interface which enables the HS 2000 to connect to other sensor devices such as position fixers, autopilots, track plotters and radars provided by other manufacturers. For example, information from the GPSplus can be transferred from the bridge to a steering position above decks.
HS 2000 User Manual Part 1 - Introduction Damping should not be confused with the update rate which is the number of times each second that the function value is sent to the display. This update rate is fixed for all functions.

HS 2000 User Manual Part 2 - Operating Information For example, when the SECTOR alarm is turned on, the alarm reference heading is the current compass heading. If the SECTOR alarm is set at 40°, the sector value is the compass heading +/- 20°.
TRIP FUNCTIONS The HS 2000 System provides two trip functions Trip Log and Dead Reckoning. The functions can be reset and restarted as required, for example, for keeping a separate log of elapsed distance for a given passage.
LIGHTING CONTROL The level of illumination at system displays is controlled by the Power/Light Key. Use of this key normally controls all the HS 2000 System displays simultaneously. However, the level of illumination on a single FFD can be controlled individually using the menu choice - LOCAL LIGHTING.
2.10 OPERATING FUNCTIONS The previous paragraphs have described how the HS 2000 System is constructed and how to use both the keys and basic menu structure. The following paragraphs describe each of the functions available in greater detail and how these features can best be applied within the boat.

HS 2000 User Manual Part 6 - Diagnostic Data PART 6 - DIAGNOSTIC DATA FFD DIAGNOSTICS The FFD program contains a number of diagnostic functions which allow the FFD keys, display and memory to be tested, and also performs checks on other components of the system via the network.
HS 2000 User Manual Part 6 -Diagnostic Data If the key operation is not detected after a short interval then the message TIME OUT is displayed. 6.1.3 Display The Scroll Up Key can be used to step the display through a sequence that switches ON single segments in all characters, blanks the display and switches ON all segments.
6.1.9 Debug CAUTION: This test is not for normal use, since it may seriously affect the operation of the HS 2000 System. This option is used for accessing memory in other units in the system. 6.1.10 RES-SYS CAUTION: Do not use this option during normal operation as the system will give inaccurate results until re-calibrated.
Part 6 -Diagnostic Data 6.1.12 Errors This option is primarily used to interrogate the HS 2000 network and is designed for use by service technicians to ascertain levels of interference that may be present, for example, interference may be induced by an SSB transmitter or radar.

HS 2000 User Manual Part 6 -Diagnostic Data 6.2.2 Boat Moving Symptom: Display shows: when boat is moving; this is most often an indication of difficult sounding conditions, but can also indicate a badly positioned transducer. Possible causes: (a) Difficult sounding conditions and/or Depth Sounder unable to track rapidly changing bottom.
HS 2000 User Manual Part 6 - Diagnostic Data 6.2.3 Consistently Shows Shallow Depth Symptom: Display consistently shows a shallow depth between 0 and about 1.5m. Possible causes: (a) Faulty transducer. The transducer rings for too long after the transmit pulse is sent and the ringing is interpreted as a shallow return by the Depth Sounder.
HS 2000 User Manual Part 6 -Diagnostic Data will only occur when other boats are in the close vicinity, for example, when moored alongside in a crowded marina. Furthermore, acoustic noise can be generated by water flow past the transducer and other items of mechanical machinery.
HS 2000 User Manual Part 6 - Diagnostic Data HALCYON 2000 COMPASS 6.4.1 Shows Heading and CAL Flashing Symptom: Display flashes a Heading and CAL Possible Causes: (a) The memory in the Halcyon 2000 is empty or has been corrupted. This may be due to a System Reset being performed or the first time the compass has been installed and not yet been calibrated.
HS 2000 User Manual Part 6 -Diagnostic Data 6.4.4 Two Headings Flashing Alternately Symptom: Pilot or Halcyon Displays shows 2 headings flashing alternately Possible Causes: (a) The Pilot has not been set to use the Halcyon 2000 as it’s heading source. See using Halcyon 2000 with a B&G ACP Pilot.
