- Instrument - Installation and Operation Manual English
English 5 1 Installation • The installation includes 6 major steps: 1. Read the installation and operation manual. 2. Plan where to install the transducers and instruments. 3. Run the cables. 4. Install the transducers and instruments. 5. Take a break and admire your installation. 6. Learn the functions and calibrate your system. Before you begin drilling ... think about how you can make the installation as neat and simple as y our boat will allow. Plan where to position the transducers, WSI-box and instruments. Think about leaving space for additional instruments in the future. • A few ”do nots” you should consider: − Do not cut the cables too short. Allo w extra cable length at the Inertface box so it can be disconnected for inspection w ithout having to disconnect all attached cables. − Do not place sealant behind the displa y. The instrument gasket eliminates the need for sealant. − Do not run cables in the bilge, where water can appear. − Do not run cables close to fluore scent light source s, engine or radio transmitting equipment to avoid electrical disturbances. − Do not rush, take your time. A neat installation is easy to do. • The following material is needed: Wire cutters and strippers. Small Philips and small flat head screw driver. Hole saw for the instrument clearance hole 63 mm (2½"). 5 mm (1/4") drill for the mounting holes. If y ou are doubtful about the installation, obtain the services of an experienced technician.
English 6 1.1 Installing the instrument • Place the adhesive drill template on the desired location for the instrument. Drill the 2 holes using a 5 mm (1/4") drill for the tw o pin bolts. Use a 63 mm (2½") hole saw to machine the clearance hole for the in strument connection socket. Remove the template. • Screw the two pin bolts to the instrument • Put the instrument in place • Screw the two nuts from the back Note! The two nuts must just be tighten by hand only • Run the Netw ork cable from the Interfacebox to the instrument. • If you want to cut the Netw ork cable to length, disconnect 4-pole jack plug and cut the cable. Peel off about 35 mm (1.4") of the cable insulation. Remove about 6 mm (1/4") from the 3 isolated w ires (the 4th w ire is an earth / screen). Attach the 4 cable protectors to the wires using a pair of flat pliers. • Connect the 4 cable prot ectors to the 4-pole jack plug as shown. Apply silicon paste on all locations as shown. Note: Must be done to avoid corrosion. Silicon paste
English 7 • Apply silicon paste to the instrument connection pins at the back of the instrument. Press the jack plug onto the instrument pins. Press the cable in to the cable leads. • Mount the connection back cover with the screw. 1.1.1 Installing instrument to the Interface box All instruments are connected direct ly to the Network.

English 9 1.3.4 Mounting the Instrument step by step 1. Mark the mounting holes using the bracket as an template 3. Mount the bracket with the three supplied screws 5. Tighten the lock nut by hand only (do not use any tool) 2. Drill the three mounting holes using a 3,2mm drill 4. Insert the transducer into the bracket from front to back 6. Attach the security clamp
English 10 2 Connection to other systems A system is fully compatible with other Network systems. If you want to connect the system to a system, you have to move the connection of the log and depth transducers to the Interface box. Note that a 200kHz depth transducer must be used. The 200kHz transducer is recognized by the colour of the leads that should be blue, black and screen. If your existing depth transducer has other colours of the transducer leads, it has to be changed. 200kHz transducers are available for all types of products through hull fittings. The network cable of the system may be connected at any location in the existing system. That is normally at the Server but if it is more convenient, you may connect the Network cable to any existing instrument. 3 Pairing procedure of Instrument When all instruments have been installed, a pairing procedure between the Instrument and the Interface unit must be made to introduce it to your specific network system. This is how you do it: a. Make sure the Instrument is fully charged! If the Instrument has been stored in a dark place for a long time, you must first charge it by exposing the solar cell for sun light some hours before use. b. Pairing! Hold the Instrument within 2m from the Interface unit, and then press the INIT button (through the hole in the bottom of the battery lid) by use of the “pin”. If the batter lid is open, you may see the LED. The built in LED will flash 2 times then lit for 2s, before it is turned off. Your Nexus system is now ready for use. If the pairing of some reason did not work, the LED will flash a third time. You should then release the Instrument box airing, see below!
English 11 4 Re-initialization of the Instrument To release the Instrument and re-initializing it, press and hold the INIT button for 5s. The Instrument can then be re-initialised again to the same, or to any other Interface box as described above. när den åter skall monteras. Se procedur enligt ovan. 5 Maintenance! If you have been using the Instrument pack for several seasons, you may need to change the rechargeable cells. Use original NiMh cells. IMPORTANT! Do not change the rechargeable cell in strong light! If needed, cover the solar cell with your hand while changing cells! Open the battery lid and remove the old cell from the connector, install the new cells. Return the used Cells to waste collection! 6 Change Instrument or Interface box / Release the pairng If the Instrument or the Interface box has to be exchanged, Interface box piring has to be released. To release the Interface box, there are two alteratives: A From a Data instrument 1. Press and hold the SET button for two seconds 2. Press the PLUS button until the text C15 is showed 3. Note the value for C15. 4. Press SET (short) and enter the value 99.9 using MINUS, PLUS and PAGE. 5. Press SET. 6. The Interface box has now released the pairing and you can now enter the value you noted under point 3 again 7. Press PAGE followed by SET to exit the setting mode B From a instrument 1. Press and hold the SET button for two seconds 2. Press the PAGE button until the text C50 is showed 3. Press the PLUS button until the text C53 is showed 4. Note the value for C53 (normally 1.70). 5.

English 13 7 First start (only in a Network) 7.1 Initialising the instrument At power on, the inst rument will perform a self test. T he display will first show all segments, then the softw are version number and the Network ID number. At first power on after installation, you will be asked to press the SET button key [PrS KEY]. This will give the instrument a logical ID number on the Network. To initialise the instrument, press SET on all installed digital instrument, one at the time but only after the instrument show OK. Note: Always wait for the text ”Init OK” to be displayed, before you press SET on the next instrument! The Server automatically gives the first unit ID number 16, then 17 and so on. T he order in w hich y ou press SET is the same order as the instruments w ill be given a logical ID number on the Nexus Network. The example shows that the inst rument version number is 1.00 and the given logical ID number is 16. 7.2 Re-initialising the instrument If two instruments by mistake have the same ID number, this can cause disturbance and block the information on the Nexus Network. To re-initialise the instrument, press MINUS and PLUS together during the pow er up sequence w hen version and ID numbers are displayed.
