Software setup

Power Control setup

To conﬁ gure a display as a Power Control ‘Slave’ or ‘Master’, select ‘Power Control’ from the

‘Settings’ menu.

The following Simrad products can be activated by a device set

to master: NEP-2, BSM-1, BSM-2, LSS-1, LSS-2, WM-2, SonicHub,

BR24/3G/4G Broadband radar, , as well as all current Simrad

MFDs.

Devices not controlled via a master, will need their yellow wire

switched to supply positive in order to activate.

¼ Note: Slave devices will not activate network modules, so a physical overide switch may be

desired where network modules occassionaly need to be turned on.

External Alarm Setup

The ‘Siren Enabled’ option must be set in order for the unit to drive the buzzer when an alarm

condition arises. Its setting also determines the operation of the external alarm output.

Echosounder setup

Select echosounder source

If only one sonar source is present in the network, selection is not required as it should be

picked up automatically. However when more than one source exists (eg a BSM-2 and an

NSS8), select the desired source in the Echo Settings.

Depth o set

This is a value that can be entered on the Echo Installation page to make depth readings

relate to any point from the water surface, to the deepest point of the vessel.

Below are some typical ways in which the oﬀ set is used:

A) For Depth below Keel: Set the distance from transducer to the bottom of the keel - this

should be set as a negative value.

B) For Depth Below Transducer: no oﬀ set required.

C) For Depth Below Surface (waterline): Set the distance from transducer to the surface - this

should be set as a positive value.
