If one network includes several chart plotters, turn off all of them except the one from
which you will program the Device. If multiple Devices are connected to the network,
they will be programmed at the same time.
The Device confirms commands received from the chart plotter by lighting LEDs
for 3 seconds once or repeatedly. If you are not able to see the Device LED when
sitting behind the chart plotter, you may need an assistant.
Programming the Device is performed either by a sequential change of chart datum
settings, or sequential change of the magnetic variation settings on the chart plotter.
Older models of Raymarine plotters do not send notifications when changing
the magnetic variation (NMEA 2000 message with PGN 127258) and only
the first method is available for them. Garmin plotters do not send notifications when
the chart datum is changed (NMEA 2000 message with PGN 129044) and only
the second method is available for them.
To select a programming method, refer to the documentation of your chart plotter.
In some cases you may need to update the plotter firmware.
STEP 1. Putting the Device into standby mode
The Device enters standby mode if, when it is switched on, the chart datum is set on
the plotter as follows:
•
to “Australian Geodetic 1966” for the Thermometer
•
to “European 1950 (Mean, European Datum)” for the Barometer
Or if the magnetic variation on the plotter is set to a user-defined value with the
following parameter:
