Setup and Confi guration  |  

Broadband 3G/4G™ Radar Installation Guide

To start the radar:

From the radar screen select the Transmit button.

RI10 heading source selection:

The RI10 receives heading via SimNet or NMEA2000 network and transmits this data to the 
radar, where MARPA processing is performed.

For Simrad installations with more than one SimNet heading source the RI10 will use the 
Simrad group source. The source used by the Simrad group can be viewed or changed via an 
NSx display in the Settings>Network>Sources… menu:

 

Dual Radar setup:

For B&G Zeus and Simrad NSO and NSE displays it is possible for two radars to be connected 
to the network and viewed simultaneously on one display. At time of installation radar source 
selection needs to be performed as described below.

1.  Power up the system including both radars

2.  On any display, the fi rst radar ever detected by the display will be used as the source for all chart 

and radar panels. This source will be used by default for every system power-up thereafter, 
until changed

The radar source is identifi ed by radar type with a four digit number and is displayed in the top 
left corner of chart and radar panels:

 

Note: 

The four digit number is the last four digits of the radars serial number.

3.  For a radar panel, the radar source can be changed in the Radar>Radar Options>Sources menu:

4.  For a chart panel (with radar overlay on), the radar source can be changed in the Chart>Radar 

Options>Sources menu:

5.  For pages with more than one radar or chart panel, it is possible to set up diff erent radar 

sources for each panel
