SETTING-UP

7.1

First time turn on

Note !

Always turn on all NMEA “listeners” and “talkers” connected
to the system before the first time you turn on the IS15 system.
This includes turn on after a COMMUNICATION RESET or a
MASTER RESET. The system will then automatically configure
the IS15 NMEA ports as talkers or listeners.

Before leaving the factory a Master Reset has been performed on
all instruments. The first time power is applied to an instrument,
the display will read:

IS15 Combi

IS15 Multi

To assign an instrument to a system, press the

button. In a

multiple instrument system the instruments are assigned and
given an Id number in the same sequence as the

buttons are

pressed. The instrument that is assigned as #1 will be the master
unit and broadcast common set-up information on the Roblink to
the other instruments.

Note !

When assigning more than one instrument to a system, allow an
interval between each assignment, while the instruments read
“Please Wait”.

After having assigned all instruments in the system, turn the
power Off and then On (the instruments will display POWER
OFF [P.OFF] if you forget). The system will now display the
start-up screens.
