Installation General mounting guidelines Warning: Do not install the unit in a hazardous/flammable atmosphere. Ú Note: Choose a mounting location that will not expose the unit to conditions that exceed the technical specifications. Mounting location This product generates heat which must be considered when choosing the mounting location.
Electrical and radio frequency interference This unit conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations. To ensure that the EMC performance is not compromised, the following guidelines apply: • Separate battery used for the vessel engine. • Minimum 1 m (3 ft) between the device, the device's cables and any transmitting equipment or cables with radio signals.
Wiring Access to connectors For easier access to connectors, remove the bottom front of the unit. Wiring guidelines Don't: • Make sharp bends in the cables. • Run cables in a way that allows water to flow down into the connectors. •...
Power The power connector is used for power, power control and for external alarm output. Power connector details Unit socket (male) Purpose DC negative External alarm Power control +12/24 V DC Power connection The unit is designed to be powered by 12 or 24 V DC system. It is protected against reverse polarity, under voltage, and over voltage (for a limited duration).

Purpose Color Power control wire, connected to supply power Yellow Power controlled by ignition The unit will turn on once ignition is turned on to start engines. Ú Note: Engine start batteries and house batteries should have a common ground connection.
slave units. If a unit is set to power control slave, it cannot be powered down using its own power key while a power control master unit is turned on. Pressing the power key will set the unit to standby. If all power control masters are off, power control slaves can be turned on and off using their own power key.
Plan and install an NMEA 2000 network An NMEA 2000 network consists of a powered backbone from which drop cables connect to NMEA 2000 devices. The backbone needs to run within 6 m (20 ft) of the locations of all products to be connected, typically in a bow to stern layout.
Units with a 5-pin yellow Ethernet connector will require an adapter cable to connect to this unit. For more details about the available adapter cables, refer to the brand website of your unit: www.simrad-yachting.com Wiring | NSO evo3S MPU Installation Manual...
Ethernet expansion device Connection of network devices can be made via an Ethernet expansion device. Additional expansion devices can be added to provide the required number of ports. USB port The USB port can be used to: • Connect a keyboard. •...
Video input configuration Configurations to video input are made in the video panel. Refer to the Operator Manual for more information. HDMI out The HDMI port(s) is used for connecting monitor(s). The connected monitor should support the resolution listed in the Technical specifications, or be able to scale.
System setup First time startup When the unit is started for the first time, or after a reset, the unit displays a series of dialogs. Respond to the dialog prompts to make fundamental settings. You can perform further setup and later change settings using the system settings dialogs. Software setup sequence This setup sequence focus on the settings done during installation and setup of the system.

Ú Note: Record the PIN code and store it in a safe place. When you establish password protection, the PIN code must be entered when any of the following are selected. After the correct PIN code is entered, all of them can be accessed without re-entering the PIN code.
Use SOG as boat speed If boat speed is not available from a paddle wheel sensor, it is possible to use speed over ground from a GPS. SOG will be displayed as boat speed and used in the true wind calculations and the speed log.

Adjust antenna height Set the radar scanner height relative to the water surface. The Radar uses this value to calculate the correct STC settings. Select antenna length Select the proper antenna length. Adjust range offset The radar sweep should commence at your vessel (a radar range of zero). You may need to adjust the radar range offset to achieve this.

other directions. This energy is referred to as sidelobe energy and occurs in all radar systems. The returns caused by sidelobes tend to appear as arcs. Ú Note: This control should only be adjusted by experienced radar users. Target loss in harbor environments may occur if this control is not adjusted correctly.
Reset radar to factory defaults Clears all user and installer settings applied to the selected radar source, and restores factory settings. Ú Note: Use this option with caution. Take note of current settings first, especially those set by the operator if radar has already been in active service. Echosounder settings A compatible echosounder module (or another unit which has built-in sonar) shared over the Ethernet network is required to view echosounder images on the unit.

Restore echosounder defaults Restore echosounder settings to the factory supplied defaults. Use depth and temp data from Selects from which source the depth and temperature data is shared on the NMEA 2000 network. ForwardScan installation Available when the ForwardScan feature is connected. For setup information, refer to the Operator Manual.
• confirm that the motor can be manually moved smoothly in each direction • check for other mechanical issues • check wiring connections • repeat the rudder calibration. Hydraulic system calibration Virtual rudder feedback (VRF) calibration is used for vessels with hydraulic steering when no rudder feedback is available.

Vessel setup The Vessel setup dialog must be used to select the number of engines, the number of tanks and vessel’s total fuel capacity across all tanks. Fuel remaining measurement The Fuel remaining measurement can be determined from fuel used by engine(s), or fuel level from tank sensors.
Select OK to save settings. The Fuel K-Value should now show a new value. Ú Note: To calibrate multiple engines repeat the steps above, one engine at a time. Alternatively, run all engines simultaneously, and divide the Actual amount used by the number of engines.

If the unit is part of a source group, all source selection changes will affect all units belonging to the same group. Ú Note: In order to enable group selection, the unit must be set to the Simrad group. Devices with no selected group can use different sources than the rest of the network devices.

Provides information on Ethernet activity. SimNet groups This function is used to control parameter settings, either globally or in groups of units. The function is used on larger vessels where several units are connected to the NMEA 2000 network. By assigning several units to the same group, a parameter update on one unit will have the same effect on the rest of the group members.

the data that is required. The less sentences that are selected, the higher the output rate of the enabled sentences. Ethernet/WiFi The NMEA 0183 data stream is output and made available to tablet devices and PCs, via WiFi or Ethernet connection. The dialogue provides IP and port data typically required for configuring the application on the third party device.
3rd party support CZone CZone connection to NMEA 2000 When interfacing to CZone network it is recommended to use a BEP Network interface bridge to join the two network backbones together. The CZone / NMEA 2000 Network interface bridge isolates the power of the two networks, but allows data to be freely shared between both sides.
