Application: The information of
the handheld GPS is not easy to see an night or with strong weather,
and those with big numbers are not easy to install outside in the
cockpit or fly bridge.
This instrument
repeats all the information of the GPS in a large led back lighted
display, allowing you to keep the delicate instruments inside the
boat.
Description
Is
a sealed instrument to be installed outside, and has an led back
lighted LCD display, with two lines of 16 characters each one. This
display is logically treated as four displays of 8 characters each.
The character have 1 cm high by 0,5 cm wide.
Using four buttons, one for each display, we can choose freely the information to be show in each display.
Is powered with 12 V and has one NMEA183 inputs and one NMEA 183 output. The output repeats the information of the input. It could be used to introduce the information of the instruments to a notebook.
The information displayed by the computer varies accordingly with the use.

REPEATER
The instrument has an led back lighted LCD display, with two lines of 16 characters each one. This display is logically treated as four displays of 8 characters each.
When you turn on the instruments display four shows the battery voltage and the other four the software version.
If the GPS is connected and running, the display 1 will show the time, the display 2 the speed in knots and the third the track
Pushing the button of each display, D1, D2, D3, y D4, they show in a ring the following information:
With a GPS connected:
'..T' ;Time
'..S.'
;latitude
'..O' ;longitude
SPD.' ;Speed in knots, is show ending with KNT
'TRK.' ;Track. Is show as º y TRK
'DAT.' ;Date
'ERR.'
;Track error, shows how far are of the ideal course to the
destination way point in nautical miles. Maximum 9 miles. Is show
with mn and an arrow indicating the correction direction.
'WYP' ;Destination Way point
'DIS.'
; Distance to the destination way point, in indicated in nautical
miles, ending with nm.
'BRG' ;The
bearing to reach the destination way point, in grades, is show with º
and BRG
'VMG.' ;Velocity made good in
knots, is show with KNG
'ETA.'
;Estimated time to arrive show in our, min and seconds. separated by
:
'BAT' ; Battery voltage in volts. Show as V
The indication of the left is showed in the display to indicated the function selected and remain until the information arrives.
ALARMS
If the battery voltage goes below 11 volts, it turns on the sound alarm and the display four shows Low Bat. Pressing any button turn off the alarm.
INSTALLATION MANUAL
