SimNet units – The display will show the name and serial num-
ber of each SimNet unit detected on the network.
Third party units – The display will show the name and serial
number of any third party units connected to the bus
via NMEA 2000.
Note Apart from NMEA 0183 a maximum of four other sources will
be shown and these will be the first four detected. Any further
sources will be ignored.
Press O
K to set the selected data source. The display will show
“SOURCE SELECTED”, then exit to the SimNet Management
menu.

select another SimNet or NMEA source if available, otherwise
the display will show “SOURCE DATA LOST”.
3.3.7.2 Lighting banks
This function allows individual RS80 stations to be assigned to
different lighting banks across the SimNet bus. It enables groups
of SimNet products to be set up as “zones” which share the
same backlight settings. This is useful on vessels with, for ex-
ample, an interior and an exterior steering position, where the
ambient lighting (and therefore backlighting requirement) is
different (Fig 3.12).
FLYBRIDGE (bank 1)
WHEELHOUSE (bank 2)
3.12 - Example of a vessel with two lighting banks
Thus, on a flybridge cruiser all the equipment fitted on the fly-
bridge can be assigned to lighting bank 1 and the equipment in
the wheelhouse can be assigned to lighting bank 2. Adjusting
the lighting on one unit in bank 1 will be duplicated on all
other products in the same bank, but will not affect any units in
bank 2.
From the SimNet Management menu select “LIGHTING
BANKS” and press O
K.
