3 First start
At each power on, the instrument will first show all segments lit
up, then the ID number and software version [VER]. Number
8
is the fixed ID when the Compass transducer is connected
direct at the instrument and the setting in C71 is on (default
setting).
3.1 Initialising the instrument in a Nexus Network
At the first power on after installation, you will be asked to press
SET
[PrSKEY]. This will give the instrument a logical ID number
from 16 and upwards on the Nexus Network.
To initialise the instrument, press
SET,
one at a time,
on all
installed digital instruments,.
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. The order in which you press
SET,
will be the
same order as the instruments will be addressed by the Remote
Control, if used.
The example shows that the instrument version number is 1.00
and the given logical ID number is 16. The ID number will
always be 8 if the Compass transducer is connected to this
instrument. If the instrument is a repeater, it may have any
number from 16 and up.
3.2
Re-initialising the instrument
If and when two instruments by mistake have the same ID number, you must re-
initialise the instruments to avoid network disturbance and blockage of data.
To re-initialise the instrument, press
MINUS
and
PLUS
together
during the power
up
sequence, i.e. when version and ID
numbers are displayed.
The display test is then re-started on all instruments and you will
be asked to press
SET
(ANY KEY) on each instrument as
explained above.
Note!
If you do not succeed to re-initialise, we suggest you disconnect (just pull out the
connection plug) all, except one of the instruments that had the same ID number, then
repeat the above procedure. Reinstall the instruments and redo the ”PRESKEY”
procedure.
