68000i System Installation

A minimum 8000i System consists of a processor, display and GPS antenna. The system consists of either the Black Box Processor combined with a 12" Display Processor or the ALL- IN-ONE processor inside the 12" Display. This would be a stand alone system.

The versatility of the 8000i System means that it can be customized and expanded to suit each vessel and budget. Extra 12" Display Processors, 15" Monitors, and remote keypads can be added to create an 8000i network, so that the 8000i System can be operated or viewed from different locations around the vessel.

In addition, there is a wide range of Northstar (and compatible third party) components such as the Network Sounder and the Northstar Radar that can also be installed and added to the 8000i system to provide a totally integrated system, with the information from these devices available across the entire 8000i network. These components are outlined in the equipment sections of this manual.

Installation Sequence Summary Guidelines

1.Plan what will be the desired functionality for the system. Ensure you have acquired all the units and cabling before starting

2.If you are using an 8000i System in a multi-system installation, decide which processor is going to be the master processor and plan the wiring around this unit (see "The Network Master Unit" page 13)

3.Plan location of components: Location check list: Check screen viewing angles (see "Mounting the 8000i 12 inch Display Processor" page 33)

4.Check location constraints: magnetic fields, heat, direct sunlight, rain or spray. etc.

5.Check wiring constraints:

ƒ

ƒ

ƒ

ƒ

USB maximum cable length 16.5 ft (5 m)

Video and Audio cables away from high current cables Power cables using the correct gauge

To help ensure proper operation, do not mount any part or cable within 1.6 ft (0.5 m) of the plane of a radar scanner or within 3 ft (1 m) of a compass or source of electrical noise such as engines, fluorescent lights, and power inverters.

6. Decide power requirements:

ƒ

ƒ

Check system current draw: Decide breaker assignments.

7. Mount each Northstar 8000i System unit:

ƒ

ƒ

Close to the other parts of the system and to the boat power supply Where there is space for the wiring and clearance to fit connectors without having sharp bends in the cables

ƒ

ƒ

ƒ

ƒ

Where there is access to wire the unit and to fit connectors In a ventilated place

Away from exposure to direct sunlight, rain or spray Where any front-panel controls can be operated easily.

8.If the unit is mounted on a flat panel, ensure the panel does not vibrate.

9.Do not mount any part where it can be used as a hand hold, where it might be submerged or where it will interfere with the operation, launching or retrieving of the boat.

10.Run Cables.

11.Connect all cables. It is recommended to fill out the System Installation Record sheet for each processor

12.Connect Chart licence key to the master unit.

13.Power on the master processor (see "Turn on the 12 inch Display Processor" page 63) and set to be the master (see "Set the network master unit" page 64) (ensure
