G. NETWORK SOUNDER(BBFF1) AND SMART SENSOR SOFTWARE
CONFIGURATION
Any NavNet Display can have a Network Sounder (BBFF1) and also receive Smart
Sensor digital depth and temperature information simultaneously.
However, you must select the “Source” of the digital depth and temperature information
that will be shown on each individual NavNet Display in a network.
For Example, if the customer prefers to navigate in shallow water by using the Smart
Sensor Depth info, the NavNet Display should be set for “NMEA” as the Digital Depth
Source. If the installation does not have a Smart Sensor, the Network Sounder needs to
be utilized as the Digital Depth and Temperature Source. This should be changed by
setting the Depth and Temperature Sources to “ETR” in the General Setup Menu.
NOTE:
The NavNet Display’s Depth and Temperature Alarm Parameters will always
utilize the source of digital depth and temperature selected in the “General Setup 1”
menu. This allows a Cruising Customer to have Depth/Temp indications and alarm
capabilities from an NMEA Source or Smart Sensor without requiring a Network Sounder
(BBFF1).
Procedure to select the depth and temp sources:
Step 1
-Press the MENU button, then press SYSTEM CONFIGURATION followed
by GENERAL SETUP. You will see the menu shown below.
Step 2
- If you want your DEPTH and TEMP information to come from the AIRMAR
smart sensor, select NMEA for TEMP SOURCE and DEPTH SOURCE.
Step 3
- If you want your DEPTH and TEMP information to come from the ETR,
select ETR for TEMP SOURCE and DEPTH SOURCE.
Step 4
- Once you have selected your DEPTH and TEMP source, you may
distribute this information throughout the network.
