Remote 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 18 metres (60 ft.

Remote Display 1 Information 1.1 Introduction Your Tacktick Remote Display provides a unique combination of features: Mobile display of instrument data All data available on your Micronet network can be viewed wherever you are located on your vessel. Remote control of Micronet displays The Remote Display can control the other Micronet displays on your network, i.e. Maxi, Dual Maxi and remote enabled models of the Digital, Dual Digital and Analogue displays.
Information 1.3 Power Management and Battery Life What makes your Micronet display possible is Tacktick’s revolutionary approach to power management. By reducing the amount of power being used by the electronics and maximizing the potential of the sun to provide power, a Micronet display becomes a virtually perpetual device. Power status is indicated by two icons on the display: Battery Level and Charge Rate Used together these icons will show the condition of the power supply.
Remote Display Pocket Mode When Pocket Mode is enabled (see page 28 S35) the Remote display switches off the LCD panel after a user configured time delay. The unit remains connected to the network and pressing any button switches the display panel back on. Sleep Mode If there is no boat speed or change in heading registered on the system for a period of 12 hours your Remote Display will switch off to conserve power. A "POWER SAVE" alarm will sound before the system switches off.
Operation 2 Operation Important: Ensure that the "Auto Network" procedure described on the yellow instruction sheet and full Setup and Calibration has been performed correctly before attempting to use your Micronet system. 2.1 Display Information 2.2 Switching the System On and Off To switch your Micronet system on or off select any display and press the button for 2 seconds. Switch on www.tacktick.
Remote Display 2.3 Information Display Operation Information is displayed in a "Chapter and Page" format using the button to scroll through the chapters and the and buttons to move between the pages within a chapter. The diagram below shows the information format. Pressing the button at any time moves to the next Chapter and the page last selected in that Chapter will be displayed. Both Chapter and Page selection will scroll back to the first page once a cycle has been completed.
Operation Default Chapter and Page diagram 2.4 Remote Control Operation In this mode, the Remote Display is able to control the functions of other displays on the Micronet network. All remote control screens are displayed in "reverse", with white text on a black background, to allow immediate recognition of remote control mode. Remote control mode is cancelled if a period of thirty seconds elapses in which no key is pressed. The Remote Display automatically returns to information display mode.
Remote Display To select a different display for control Repeatedly press the button until the required display is highlighted. The screen of the newly selected display will flash to indicate that it is under remote control. To control the selected display. Pressing the , , or button on the Remote Display has the same effect as pressing that same button on the controlled display. For example, pressing the button will cause the controlled display to scroll to the next chapter.
Operation 2.6 Keylock The Keylock feature protects from accidental key presses. You can enable or disable keylock as follows: Press and hold to enter setup Press repeatedly to reach the OPTIONS chapter Press to open the OPTIONS chapter. Press repeatedly to bring the KEY LOCK sentence to the cursor Press to toggle between the ON/OFF options Press and hold to exit setup. Once keylock is activated, pressing a key causes the unit to give the unlock key prompt.
Remote Display Depth Deep Alarm The water depth has increased above or fallen below the preset alarm level. The depth value that triggers the alarm is affected by any keel or waterline offsets that have been added. See page 21 s5 to set the alarm function. Wind High Alarm The wind speed has increased beyond the preset alarm level. See page 22 S6 to set the alarm function. This alarm does not sound as the wind speed decreases below the preset alarm level.
Operation 4 VMG WIND (Velocity made good to windward) The vessel's calculated Speed Directly Upwind. This value is calculated by the display from the Boat Speed and True Wind Angle. 5 VMG WP (Velocity made good to waypoint) The vessel's speed directly towards the active Waypoint. This value is calculated by a GPS receiver or plotter. 6 LOG (Total distance travelled) The total distance travelled by the vessel since installation of the display or since a Factory Reset. See page 29 S40 to reset.
Remote Display 10 A WIND PORT/STBD (Apparent wind angle) The apparent wind angle with respect to the vessel as measured by the Wind Transmitter. 11 T WIND KNOTS/M S (True wind speed) The true wind speed with respect to the vessel, calculated by the display taking into account the vessels speed through the water. Apparent Wind Speed, Angle and Boat Speed must be available for this calculation.
Operation To manually overide this automatic calculation and set the mean wind direction: 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.) If the mean wind direction changes, press again. 2.
Remote Display 19 COG (Course over the ground) The vessel's course over the ground as calculated by the GPS Antenna or a GPS receiver. 20 LAT (Latitude) The vessel's current latitude as calculated by the GPS Antenna or a GPS receiver. 21 LON (Longitude) The vessel's current longitude as calculated by the GPS Antenna or a GPS receiver. 22 BTW (Bearing to waypoint) Bearing to (active) waypoint.
Operation 25 TTG (Time to go to waypoint) The calculated time remaining before you will arrive at the (active) waypoint as calculated by a GPS receiver or plotter. 26 SEA (Sea temperature) Current sea temperature as measured by the sensor in the Speed Transducer. Displayed in the current temperature units. See p 23 S13 to select units. 27 RACE TIMER Countdown and elapsed time clock. The timer can only be set and operated in single item display mode.
Remote Display Press and hold to enter the timer setup Press to start the countdown 28 Use and to select the desired countdown time Press to store the countdown time Countdown in progress Press to reset timer to the nearest whole minute TIME Current time as received from the GPS Antenna, corrected to local time if an offset has been added. See page 28 S37 to set an offset. 29 DATE Current date as received by the GPS Antenna.
Setup and Calibration 31 FFD-1 to FFD-6 (Custom data displays) If you have a Wireless (NMEA) Interface connected to a PC with Tacktick proprietary NMEA output capability (PTAK) then your six user defined free format pages will be displayed in these custom data display pages. Typically used by racing sailboats to show "Time to Layline" or corrected True Wind Direction where the Upwash Correction Table is built into the PC.
Remote Display 3 Setup and Calibration 3.1 Entering Setup and Calibration Mode To enter the Setup and Calibration menu press and hold for 2 seconds the button. Note: It is not possible to enter setup mode while the Race Timer is currently visible on a single item display page. Scroll to a different page in order to enter setup. 3.2 Setup and Calibration Chapter and Page operation On entering setup mode a list of chapters is displayed, with the active chapter marked with the cursor .
Setup and Calibration An ON/OFF toggle (for example the Cross Track Error alarm can be either ON or OFF). To edit a numeric parameter value: Press the button. The value data will begin to flash. Use the and buttons to adjust the value. Press the button again to set the new value. To reset a memory value: Press the button. The parameter is reset. To select a parameter option from a list: Press the button. The parameter option will begin to flash. Use the and buttons to select the option required.
