INTRODUCTION TO NETWORK SPEED

NETWORK SPEED DISPLAY UNIT

The Network SPEED unit measures and displays Speed,
Log, Timer and Sea Temperature information on a large
back-lit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The five keys allow
selection of the displayed information and setting of the units
mode, calibration factors and operating parameters.





It can operate as the main Network SPEED unit either alone
or as part of an Integrated Network Instrument System taking
inputs directly from a Speed Sensor which plugs into the
socket at the rear of the display, or as a repeater of speed
information received via the two Network cable tails.





The Network SPEED unit has no alarm functions, however it
has an internal alarm buzzer that will sound when an alarm
condition is met on Network Depth, Network QUAD or
Network PILOT unit or to indicate a fault condition.




The unit is able to transmit NMEA 0183 (v1.5) data via the
system network cables to other Network units and connect to
an NMEA device e.g. a position fixer, with a special NMEA
output cable.


IMPORTANT NOTE
Your Network SPEED unit must be setup and calibrated
correctly before it is used as part of a navigational system.
