2.4.2 Checking Connections
Once the NMEA 2000
®
connections to the NBE100 have been completed, check to see that
information is being properly transmitted by using an appropriate NMEA 2000
®
display to
observe a sensor on the opposite side of the NBE100. If you don’t see data from that sensor,
refer to Section 4, “Troubleshooting”.
2.5 Configuring the NBE100
The NBE100 will function on the NMEA 2000 network as it is shipped from the factory; no user
configuration is required. However, it may be desirable to perform optional configuration. There
are several configurable items within the NBE100, which are detailed in the remainder of this
section.
You configure the NBE100 using a Maretron DSM250 display or other NMEA 2000
®
display
unit that is capable of configuring the NBE100. Please refer to the Maretron DSM250 User’s
Manual for details.
2.5.1 Device Instance
NMEA 2000
®
provides a unique device instance for each device on a vessel. This value should
be programmed in each NBE100 so that each NBE100 is associated with a unique device
instance number. The default instance number is 0, which is used to indicate the first NBE100
that is hooked to the network. Subsequent NBE100’s connected to the network would be
numbered 1, 2, and so on.
