In the descriptions below, system default values/options are shown in

bold text

Memories Page

S1 Trip

The distance travelled since the last Trip Reset.

Resets to 0.00.

S2 Speed Maximum

The maximum speed attained since switch on or since the

last Maximum Speed Reset.

Resets to current boat speed.

S3 Speed Average

The average speed attained since switch on or since the last

Average Speed Reset.

Resets to current boat speed.

Alarms Page

S4 Shallow Water Alarm

Sets the shallow depth at which the display will alarm.

The options are: Off and 0.0 to 25.0 feet (0.0 to 7.6 metres)

(0.0 to 4.1 fathoms).

Values are displayed in the previously selected units (see

page 22 S10 to select units) and are all subject to any keel or waterline

offset added (see page 23 S18 to set an offset).

This alarm sounds as the depth passes below the set value and NOT as

the depth increases past this value.

S5 Deep Water Alarm

Sets the deep depth at which the display will alarm.

The options are: OFF and 0.0 to 250 feet (0.0 to 76.2 metres)

(0.0 to 41.6 fathoms). Values are displayed in the previously

selected units (see page 22 -s10 to select units) and are all

subject to any keel or waterline offset added (see page 23 s18 to set an

offset).

This alarm sounds as the depth increases past this value or decreases

past this value.

Remote Display S6 High Wind Alarm Sets the wind speed at which the display will alarm. The options are: Off and 0.0 to 100 knots (0.0 to 51.4 m/s). Values are displayed in the previously selected units (see page 22 S11 to select units). This alarm sounds as the wind speed increases past the set value and NOT as it decreases past this value. S7 Cross Track Error Alarm Sets the display to alarm if a Large Cross Track Error Alarm is issued by the GPS. The options are: On/Off.

Setup and Calibration S13 Temperature Sets the units in which water temperature information is displayed. The options available are: oC (Degrees Celsius) or oF (Degrees Fahrenheit). 4.2 Sensors Chapter Speed Page S14 Speed Response Sets the update period of the Speed display. The options are: Auto/Slow/Medium/Fast S15 Speed Offset (%) The boat speed calibration factor adds a percentage factor which corrects the information from the paddlewheel and ensures the boat speed is displayed correctly.

Remote Display Wind Page S19 Wind Response Sets the update period of the wind display. The options available are: Auto/Slow/Medium/Fast. S20 Wind Angle Aligns the displayed apparent wind angle with the actual wind direction with respect to the boat. See page 33 for the calibration process. S21 Wind Speed Calibration (%) The wind speed calibration factor adds a percentage factor which corrects the information from the wind speed sensor and ensures the apparent wind speed is displayed correctly.

Setup and Calibration S26 Magnetic Variation Allows manual entry of local magnetic variation. This setting is ignored if variation information is available from a GPS source. S27 Magnetic Deviation However carefully positioned the Compass Transducer is there is always the possibility of errors being introduced by the vessel and equipment. To remove errors it is necessary to "Swing" the compass by turning the boat slowly until the system can optimize the readings.

Remote Display S29 Four-Line Display Page This page permits the selection of a four-line display page to configure. cursor To select a four-line display page to configure: Press repeatedly until the desired page is next to the . Press to configure the page. To select a line to configure: Initially, the display shows the cursor beneath the title of the data item currently selected for line 1 of the four-line display page.

Setup and Calibration Remote Chapter S31 Remote Mode Permits the remote control function to be enabled or disabled. Press the button to toggle between ON and OFF. S32 Modify Control List The Remote Display builds a list of the Micronet displays on the network that are configured for remote control. This list allows the user to select a display to control with the Remote Display.

Remote Display To alter the position of a display in the list of controllable displays: Press the button to scroll down the list. The sequence number of the display in the list of controllable displays is shown by the cursor. Press the button, the selected display entry will flash. Press the button until the required sequence number appears beside the display. Press the button to confirm the new sequence number. All displays below the selected display are pushed down the list.

Setup and Calibration S39 Boat Show (Demonstration Mode) Allows the display to show information when NOT installed as part of a Micronet system for demonstration purposes only. Displays will return to default Off on power down. S40 Factory Reset Returns all the calibration setting to the factory default values.

Seatrial and Calibration 4 Seatrial and Calibration Once the Micronet 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 displays for navigational purposes until Calibration has been carried out correctly. 4.1 Depth Offset The default depth offset is 0.0 making the display read the depth below the transducer.
PAGE 12
Remote Display 4.2 Speed Calibration To ensure that the boat speed (and distance) is accurate it is necessary to calibrate the speed to take into account variations in water flow between different hulls. Adjustment is made by multiplying the speed through the water (V) by a percentage calibration factor. It is essential to carry out this procedure at a time when little or no tide is flowing.
PAGE 13
Seatrial and Calibration 4.3 Wind Calibration Both Wind Speed and Direction can be calibrated to ensure that readings from the Wind Transmitter are displayed accurately. Wind Angle Offset Motor the vessel directly into the wind. Press and hold the button to enter Setup. Press the button repeatedly to select the Sensors chapter. Press the button to enter the Sensors chapter. Press the button repeatedly to select the Wind page. Press the button to enter the Wind page.
PAGE 14
Remote Display 4.4 Compass Calibration and Alignment To ensure that inaccuracies caused by metallic and magnetic objects on the boat are kept to a minimum it is necessary to calibrate or swing the compass. A deviation caused by surrounding objects will be compensated for and the compass reading may be set to the correct heading. Press and hold the button for two seconds to enter Setup. Press the button repeatedly to select the Sensors chapter. Press the button to enter the Sensors chapter.

Installation 5. Installation 5.1 Changing the Bezel Each Remote Display is shipped with one white and one black bezel. To change the bezel: Caution: work in a location where parts cannot be lost overboard or in the bilges as the keypad mat and lanyard attachment will fall free of the main unit. Remove the screw securing the lanyard attachment tab (bottom center at the back of the unit).

Remote Display 6 Maintenance and Fault Finding 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.
PAGE 17
Maintenance and Fault Finding A single display flashes the battery symbol and then switches off. The battery level is low on the particular display affected. Connect to a 9 to 30V DC power source or leave in bright sunlight for 12 hours minimum to recharge the display's internal battery. If the particular display is the system Master* then the other displays will sound the "Lost Network" alarm. To continue using the rest of the system power down and restart the system from another display.
PAGE 18
Remote Display Boat Speed reads 0 Information being transmitted from the Hull Transmitter is being received with a zero value. Check the paddle wheel for fouling, clean it and make sure it turns easily. Wind Speed reads 0 Information being transmitted from the Wind Transmitter is being received with a zero value. If the anemometer cups at the top of the mast are turning and the wind speed reads zero then there is a problem with your Wind Transmitter.
