  • Page 12: Installing The Display

    Installing the display Mounting location Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut. The display should be mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see the display screen. Be sure to leave a direct path for all of the cables. The display screen is high- contrast and anti-reflective, and is viewable in direct sunlight, but for best results install the display out of direct sunlight.

  • Page 14: Bracket Mount

    Bracket Mount An alternative to flush mounting the NSE8 or NSE12 is to bracket mount the unit. This method has the advantage that the display can easily be removed when not in use. The display may be tilted for best possible viewing angle when bracket mounted.
  • Page 15 Drill a pilot hole for the fi ve screws Secure 5 the bracket to the surface and an optional hole large enough for the cables to emerge from. Connect the cables. Attach the bezel. Firmly clip the front bezel in place. Slide the display into the mounting bracket and secure in place with the bracket knobs.

    External alarm An external alarm can be connected to one or more displays on the network. The external alarm can be a small peizo buzzer connected directly or a horn siren connected via a relay. Alarms are configured globally in the system i.e they can be configured on one display and seen, heard and acknowledged from all displays.

  • Page 32 For a large systems or sailboats with a mast head wind sensor and long mast cable, it is recommended to use a SimNet noise filter (24006934). On sail boats the filter should be inserted at the mast junction. On larger systems without a mast head unit, the filter should be inserted centrally along the backbone.

  • Page 33: Ethernet

    Ethernet The NSE system uses an Ethernet network to interconnect high bandwidth devices such as other NSE displays, radar and echo sounder. Each NSE display has three network ports with 5 pin connectors. Ethernet network cables have orange connectors that are retained by a bayonet type locking collar.

    (yellow) page 60. 60 for part numbers. NMEA0183 wiring To exchange NME0183 data, the NSE8 and NSE12 display units have a NMEA0183 communication port. The port uses RS422 protocol and can be configured in the software for different baud rates. NMEA sentences can be turned on or off. See Serial Port Setup, page 49...

  • Page 36: Video In

    Video In Connect up to two composite video cameras to each display unit using the supplied Video / Data cable. This connects to the VIDEO IN port on the rear of the display. Video inputs are only displayed locally and are not distributed to other displays. Only one video input can be viewed at a time.

  • Page 37: Video Out

    The NSE display has a DVI-I Video connector. Connect a second display to replicate what is on the screen of the NSE display. A DI10 display can only interface to NSE8 and DI15 only to NSE12 due to fixed resolutions.
