NMEA 2000 | Zeus Touch installation manual

NMEA 2000 setup

Setup is required on initial start up of the system, or if any part of the NMEA 2000 network has
been changed or replaced.
From 'Network' in the main system settings menu you can:
• select NMEA2000 data sources - either automatically or manually
• confi gure instance numbers for NMEA 2000 devices (where multiple sources of same data
exist)
• control how device parameters backlighting, units, damping, and alarms are grouped on the
network
• select to share waypoints via NMEA 2000
• monitor NMEA 2000 network bus state and reliability
• control data damping
• calibrate water speed derived from a NMEA 2000 source
Auto Select (Source Selection)
The Auto Select option will look for all sources connected to the Zeus Touch system. If more
than one source is available for each data type, the Zeus Touch will automatically select from
an internal priority list.
Make sure all devices are connected and are turned on before selecting the Auto Select
option.
Manual source selection
Manual selection is generally only required where there is more than one source for the same
data, and the automatically selected source is not the one desired.
Group source selection
B&G products such as the Zeus Touch, Zeus, and Triton Display, have the ability to;
• use data sources (eg position, wind direction, etc) that all other products on the network use,
or alternatively use a data source independently from other units.
• globally change all displays over to a diff erent source from any display. (This will only include
products set to a Group mode.)
In order to enable group selection, the display must be set to 'Default' group.
In some cases it may be desired that an Zeus Touch on a network receives the same type of
data, but from diff erent sources to that of the rest of the network devices. To do this set the
data Group setting to None, and select a source for the data.
Advanced source selection
This allows the most fl exible and precise manual control over which devices provide data to
the Zeus Touch.
Some data sources, such as those for fuel level, or engine RPM, can only be changed via the
