2 First start
At each power on, the instrument will perform a self test. The display
will first show all segments, then the software version and the Nexus
Network ID number.
2.1 Initialising the instrument in a Nexus Network
At the first power on after installation, you will be asked to press
KEY
[PrSKEY]. This will give the instrument a logical ID number from 16 and
upwards on the Nexus Network.
To initialise the instrument, press
KEY,
one instrument at a time,
on
all installed digital instruments,.
Warning! Always wait for the text [Init OK]
to be displayed, before you press KEY
on the next instrument!
The Nexus Servo Unit or the Server automatically gives the first unit ID
number 16, then 17 and so on. The order in which you press
KEY,
will
be the same order as the instruments will be given a logical ID number
on the Nexus Network, and the same order they will be addressed by
the Remote Control instrument if used.
The example shows that the instrument version number is 1.6 and the
logical ID number given is 17.
Warning!
Do not activate any Autopilot functions until Dockside Testing
and Sea Trials APC routine have been performed.
2.2 Re-initialising the instrument
If two instruments have been given the same ID number by mistake,
you must re-initialise the instruments to avoid Network disturbance and
blockage of data.
To re-initialise the instrument, be prepared to press
DOWN
and
UP
to-
gether during the short 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
KEY
on one instrument at the time as explained above.
Note!
If you do not succeed to re-initialise, we suggest you disconnect
(just pull out the connection plug) on all, except one of the instruments
that had the same ID number, then re-install the instruments and repeat
the above procedure.
