English 1 Sea Data Introduction Thank you for choosing Star SEA Data. SEA Data is a digital instrument which will display all necessary data from the SEA. SEA Data is as standard, a log instrument, providing you information about speed, trip distance, total distance and water temperature. As an option a depth transducer can be connected, giving you depth, shallow and deep alarm. The two transducers are connected to the back of the instrument.
Sea Data English A few ”do not’s” you should consider: − Do not cut cables too short. Allow extra cable length at the instrument so it can be removed for inspection without having to disconnect attached cables. − Do not place sealant behind the instrument. The instrument gasket eliminates the need for sealant. − Do not run cables in the bilge, where water can appear. − Do not run cables close to the fluorescent light sources, engine or radio transmitting equipment to avoid electrical disturbances.
English Sea Data Due to different shapes of hulls, the log transducer has to be calibrated on all boats. See 4.2.5 For mounting of depth transducer, see instruction included with transducer. 2.3 Electrical installation On the back of the instrument there are eight pins; Four for the screw connector for the log transducer and four for the depth transducer. The connector is colour coded with green, yellow white and ground sign.
Sea Data 3 English Function overview The SEA Data instrument can work as a log instrument, a depth instrument or as a combined log/depth instrument. You simply select the type of instrument you want, during calibration. 3.1 How to use the push buttons 3.1.1. Mode / Light button This button is used to change between Log mode and Depth mode. One short press changes between the two modes. To select light levels press mode for more than two seconds. 3.1.2.
English Sea Data 3.2. Log functions 3.2.1. Boat speed The main functions displays the boat speed. The unit (Knots or Miles/h) is selectable during calibration, see 4.2.4. 3.2.2. Water temperature To view water temperature press UP or DOWN until the text TMP is displayed. The water temperature can be displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit. To change unit, see 4.2.8. 3.2.3. Trip distance To view the trip distance press UP or DOWN until the text TRP is displayed.
Sea Data English 3.4. Depth functions (optional) To change between Log and Depth information press MODE. This function will display depth in metres, feet or fathoms. To change unit see 4.2.6. A depth sounder measures the time it takes for a sound pulse transmitted from the transducer, to bounce on the bottom and be received by the transducer again. The strength of the sound pulse decreases with the depth and is also affected by temperature and pollution in the water.
English 4. Sea Data Calibration In calibration mode, there is a list of nine calibration values and set up modes. The list starts at C10 and stops at C18. Calibration related to the speed transducer has the text ST after calibration number and the depth transducer has the text DT. To move to the desired calibration group press UP and DOWN as required. 4.1. Enter and exit calibration To enter the calibration mode press KEY until the text C10 RET appears.RET stands for return.
Sea Data True distance from sea chart Log trip counter distance The current calibration value New calibration value English T L C N If you suspect that there is water flow, drive the boat in both directions and divide the trip distance by two. To enter the new calibration value press KEY increase/decrease with UP/DOWN, move to the next figure with MODE and confirm with KEY. 4.2.6. C15 Unit for depth (Unit M) The unit for depth is selectable between metres (M), feet (FT) or fathoms (FA).
English Sea Data 4.3. Customise your display The two main functions have one ”empty” sub function. One sub function from the other main function group can be moved into this empty space. For example, the trip distance can be moved to the depth group. To do that, go to the trip function and press KEY and MODE together, the display is flashing. Go to the depth functions by pressing MODE and lock with KEY. It is possible to move two functions, one under speed and one under depth.
