It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards.
The electronic chart used by the Northstar 8000i is an aid to navigation designed to supplement, not replace, official government charts. Only official government charts supplemented by notices to mariners contain the information required for safe and prudent navigation. Always supplement the electronic information provided by the Northstar 8000i with other plotting sources such as observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass bearings.
Failure to adhere to these warnings may lead to death, serious injury or property damage. Northstar disclaims all liability for installation or use of this product that causes or contributes to death, injury or property damage or that violates any law. You are strongly recommended to scan all removable media (such as USB memory sticks or CDs) for viruses or corrupt data on a separate device BEFORE connecting or using the removable media with the 8000i. 1.

5 The Network Master Unit The simplest type of 8000i System consists of a single stand-alone processor. A more sophisticated 8000i System consists of multiple processors, which can be a combination of 12" Display Processors or Black Box Processors, networked together. If more than one processor is used in the 8000i System, one processor only MUST be specified as the master unit. You must decide which processor on the 8000i network will be responsible for handling incoming and outgoing navigation data.
6 8000i System Installation A minimum 8000i System consists of a processor, display and GPS antenna. The system consists of either the Black Box Processor combined with a 12" Display Processor or the ALLIN-ONE processor inside the 12" Display. This would be a stand alone system. The versatility of the 8000i System means that it can be customized and expanded to suit each vessel and budget.

Optional Parts Chart Licenses. To Purchase C-Map MaxPro charts. Please refer to operation manual how to do this or contact an authorized Northstar dealer. 6.
6.13 Other Components 6.13.1 Autopilot Northstar Autopilot 3300 Display NS002881 Core Pack NS002874 Description The Autopilot system comprises of a display, a main control unit (MCU), a heading sensor and rudder feed back unit. It is intended to aid the helmsman in steering the boat for long periods of time. The heading sensor can be the separate fluxgate and gyro compass or the new HS02/HS03 Functionality Steers the boat to follow a course or route created in the 8000i system.
6.13.2 Heading Sensor HS02 , HS03 Rate Gyro Heading Sensor NS002437, NS002443 Description The Northstar family of heading sensors utilize a combination of a fluxgate compass and a rate gyro to provide a gyro stabilized heading. Both the fluxgate and gyro are enclosed together in a single rugged housing Functionality Provides the vessels heading to the 8000i system. Use the heading sensor when installing a Northstar radar to give accurate radar overlay.
Description The 8000i System provides audio from music or movies that are played on the system. Audio out is achieved by connecting the 8000i processor to an external amplifier and speakers.

6.13.5 Mass Storage Devices Description Mass storage devices are third party products such as portable hard drives, and flash drives. These may be used to store music and movies. Many people have large music libraries which are too big to fit onto a 8000i System. Mass storage drives can be a great way to share music and videos between the home and boat. Connect the drive to the 8000i System which can then access the drive and share the stored media across the 8000i network.
6.13.6 Human Interface Devices HID pointing devices Description The 8000i processors are compatible with most USB, Widows XP compliant pointing devices. The user may prefer to operate the system using a remote wireless pointing device. There is a large selection available. Place in 8000i System Used to control an 8000i processor Mounting Connect directly to an 8000i processor or to the USB ports on the Northstar 8000i 15" Monitor or 4 port USB hub 6.13.
7 Mounting the 8000i 12 inch Display Processor Choosing the best mounting location Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut. The 8000i Display should be mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see the display screen. Be sure to leave a direct path for all of the cables. The display screen is high-contrast and anti-reflective, and is viewable in direct sunlight. For best results, install the 8000i 12" Display out of direct sunlight.
Viewing Angle The viewing angle can influence the viewability of the 8000i Display Processor. The best angle is from the top to slightly below perpendicular. Lower than perpendicular and the screen image will fade slightly. See following diagram. Viewing angle A Optimum viewing angle B Good viewing angle C Poor viewing angle or obstructed view Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat's structure. If in doubt, consult a qualified boat builder.
Before you cut a hole in a panel, make sure that there are no hidden electrical wires or other parts behind the panel. When flush mounting, be sure to mount the 8000i component on a flat surface. Mounting on a curved surface can result in water leaks around the cutout. To prolong life of this product, use the supplied sun cover when not in use and during washdown.
Form the cables into loops below the unit so that any condensation will drip off. Turn on the processor (see "Turn on the 12 inch Display Processor" page 63).
8 Wiring Guidelines Avoiding cable wiring shortcuts Most installation problems are caused by shortcuts taken with system cables. When wiring the 8000i, follow the guidelines below.
8.1 Power Before starting the installation, be sure to turn electrical power off. If power is left on or turned on during the installation, fire, electrical shock, or other serious injury may occur. Be sure that the voltage of the power supply is compatible with the 8000i’s voltage rating of 12 V DC or 24 V DC. (10 V DC - 35 V DC max range) Connecting to the wrong power supply can cause fire or damage to the equipment. Be sure to ground the equipment to prevent electrical shock and mutual interference.

8.3 Utility Port Connect to other electronic devices using the the optional Northstar 8000i Utility cable (NS004801). The Utility cable has the following communication capabilities. • 1 x NMEA Receive (see "NMEA" page 44) • 1 x NMEA Transmit • External Alarm (see "External Alarm" page 46) • Remote Power On • External Wake Up (see "External Alarm" page 46) • System Controller re program (Service only) NS004801 Utility Cable Utility connector Pinout viewed looking at connector 8.3.
For example when the power button is pressed on the Northstar 15" Monitor it sends a + Volts signal through its Utility Cable (External Wake Up) to the Black Box Processors Utility Cable (Remote Power On). The processor detects the voltage and powers on. When the monitor is turned off, the 8000i Black Box Processor detects zero volts and and after (four) 4 seconds powers down. NOTE: that the processor takes up to 30 Seconds to power down. This will not be visible on the 15" Monitor.
L Brown / White M Northstar 8000i 15" Monitor N Northstar 8000i Black Box Processor O NS004801 Utility Cable Remote power is a feature of the 12" Display Processor, Black Box Processor, 15" Monitor, Network Sounder and Network Radar. This means that connecting the Remote Power On wire (Light Green) to a device that outputs voltage such as a 8000i Processor, breaker or switch will start the Unit. The voltage required for remote power on needs to be greater than 5 V DC.
8.3.2 NMEA NMEA connection on the Northstar 8000i processor Utility Cable.

Refer to the Northstar 8000i Operation Manual for instructions on operation.
8.4 USB An 8000i processor has two type A connectors, which are designed for Northstar 8000i USB cables. Each USB port’s 5 V DC power output can provide up to 500 mA. Connect a USB accessory, such as an 8000i System Remote Keypad, or a Northstar 8000i 4 Port Hub. NOTE: It is recommended you use the install the supplied USB dash mount cable to a location that will provide easy access to attach USB devices. This especially applies to the Master 8000i processor.
Connection on 8000i Processor Either USB on processor 8.
8.6 RGB port The RGB port is used to connect the Northstar 8000i processor to an external monitor. This can be either the Northstar 8000i 15" Monitor or any third party monitor capable of displaying a minimum of 800 x 600 resolution. To connect an 8000i processor to a 8000i 15" Monitor.
Insert loop back in to network socket if unit is operating as a standalone system Use a Northstar 8000i Network Cable to connect to other 8000i network devices.
