mn100 Digital Display EMC Conformance All Tacktick equipment is designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment. The design and manufacture of Tacktick equipment conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards. Correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Important Due to the wireless communication systems used in Micronet instruments they are only recommended for use on boats up to 14 meters (45 ft.
mn100 Digital Display Contents Warranty Information 1 Tacktick Limited or its authorized Distributors will repair or replace a Tacktick product free of charge where a manufacturing fault becomes apparent within two years of the purchase date provided: 1. No unauthorized attempt has been made to repair the product. 2. The product has not been misused, operated outside of its intended environment or operated in a manner which is incompatible with the written instructions supplied on purchase. 1.1 1.2 1.
mn100 Digital Display Maintenance and Fault Finding 1 - Information 1.1 Introduction Your Micronet instrument is powered for life by the environment. Although feature packed and highly visible in all conditions, current demand is so low, and the supply so efficient, that the solarpowered display is self sufficient. Combined with other instruments in the Micronet range this display becomes part of a complete navigational system. 1.
mn100 Digital Display 6.2.10 No NMEA data showing on external instruments. From any Digital instrument enter Setup and Calibration Mode (page 16) and scroll through to the Health Chapter. Check the signal level and battery status of the NMEA Interface. If the signal level shows a value of greater than 3 then check the data connections and the Introduction Bright Day Sunny settings of the NMEA source equipment to ensure that NMEA 0183 is being transmitted correctly. 6.2.11 The Depth Alarm does not sound.
mn100 Digital Display If there is no boat speed or change in heading registered on the system for a period of 12 hours your Micronet instrument will switch off to conserve power. A “POWER SAVE” alarm will sound before the instrument system is switched off. Pressing any button within 10 seconds of the alarm sounding will allow the system to remain switched on. Backlighting will automatically shut down/off when operated in daylight. Artificial light WILL NOT recharge the battery.
mn100 Digital Display 6 Maintenance and Fault Finding Operation 2 – Operation 6.1 Care and Maintenance All Micronet products are totally sealed against water and are not serviceable. Any attempt to take a Micronet product apart will invalidate the warranty. To clean, use only a damp, soft cloth. No detergents, solvents or abrasives should be used. To avoid damaging a Micronet display unit we recommend storing in the supplied soft pack when not in use.
mn100 Digital Display 2.2 Switching the System On and Off To switch on your Micronet system select any instrument and press the button for 2 seconds. To switch off your Micronet system select any instrument and press and hold the button for 2 seconds. 2.3 Installation 5.4.3 Where access is available to the rear of the mounting surface This method allows for maximum security of a permanently mounted instrument. Position the supplied Template carefully before starting. 1.
mn100 Digital Display 5.4 Surface Mounting 5.4.1 Where there is no access to the rear of the mounting surface Easy installation but will allow removal without gaining access to the boat. Position the supplied Template carefully before starting. 1. Drill three 2mm holes marked “SURFACE” on the Template. 2. Carefully snap the facia of the instrument off the main body taking care not to drop the button pads.
mn100 Digital Display 2.5 Chapter and Page Operation Instrument information is displayed in a “Chapter and Page” format using the button to scroll through the Chapters and the and buttons to move between Pages. The diagram below shows the information format. Installation 5.3 Bracket Mounting (Preferred Method) This method allows for the easy removal of an instrument as and when required, for either security reasons or to prevent damage or discomfort whilst not in use. 1.

mn100 Digital Display 2.6 Chapter and Page Description Speed Chapter (1) SPEED The vessel’s Actual Speed through the water as measured by the Speed Transducer. (2) VMG TO WIND The vessel’s calculated Speed Directly Upwind. This value is calculated by the instrument from the Boat Speed and Apparent Wind Angle. (3) VMG - WP The vessel’s calculated Speed directly towards the active Waypoint. This value is calculated by a GPS receiver or plotter.
mn100 Digital Display 4.3 Wind Calibration Both Wind Speed and Direction can be calibrated to ensure that readings from the Wind Transmitter are displayed accurately. Operation (9) DEPTH MINIMUM The Minimum Depth encountered since switch on or since the last Minimum Depth Reset. To Reset see page 18 -s2 (10) DEPTH MAXIMUM The Maximum Depth encountered since switch on or since the last Maximum Depth Reset. To Reset see page 18 -s3. 4.3.1 Wind Angle Offset Motor the vessel directly into the wind.
mn100 Digital Display (17) SHIFT HEAD/ LIFT Indicates changes in the wind against a compass heading. Spotting these wind changes is the key to fast sailing upwind. To set the mean wind angle: 1. If a Wind Transmitter is included in your Micronet system then simply press the button; (the current wind direction is stored as the mean wind direction and displayed for 5 seconds during which time the and buttons may be used to adjust the value.) 2.
mn100 Digital Display 4 - Seatrial and Calibration Once the Micronet Instrument system has been installed on the vessel and Auto Networking has been completed it is necessary to carry out Calibration. It is not safe to use the instruments for navigational purposes until Calibration has been carried out correctly. 4.1 Depth Offset The default depth offset is 0.0 making the instrument read the Depth below the Transducer.
mn100 Digital Display (29) Setup and Calibration Race Timer (continued) The instrument will sound a single beep every 30 seconds until 1 minute remains when a beep will sound at 10 second intervals. The final 10 seconds will count down with a beep each second with “START” being indicated by a triple quick beep at 0. The timer will automatically start to count the elapsed time and this will continue until the button is pressed and held for 2 seconds.
mn100 Digital Display Options Chapter (s29) (s30) AUTO NETWORK Only available on the instrument which was used to power up the system. Refer to the “Auto Network” sheet for further information. TIME The number of hours added or subtracted from UTC (GMT) to allow the instrument to display local time. (s31) LIGHT Tells the instrument to control the system Backlighting or just its own Backlighting. Network/Local.
mn100 Digital Display Setup and Calibration 3 - Setup and Calibration Wind Chapter 3.1 (s21) RESP Wnd Sets the update period of the Wind display. Auto/Slow/Medium/Fast (s22) WIND (Angle) Aligns the displayed Apparent Wind Angle with the Actual Wind Direction with respect to the boat. See page 26 for calibration.
mn100 Digital Display (s15) 3.5 WAYPNT ARRIVAL Sets the instrument to alarm if a Waypoint Arrival Alarm is issued by the GPS. On/Off.
