AUTOPILOT
At each power on, the instrument will perform a self test. The
display will first show all segments, then the software version and
the Nexus Network ID number.
3.1 Initialising the instrument in a Nexus Network
At the first power on after installation, you will be asked to press
SET [PrSKEY]. This will give the instrument a logical ID number
from 16 and upwards on the Nexus Network.
To initialise the instrument, press SET, one instrument at a time,
on all installed digital instruments,.
Warning! Always wait for the text [Init OK]
to be displayed, before you press SET
on the next instrument!
The Nexus Servo Unit or the Server automatically gives the first
unit ID number 16, then 17 and so on. The order in which you press
SET, will be the same order as the instruments will be given a
logical ID number on the Nexus Network, and the same order they
will be addressed by the Remote Control instrument if used.
The example shows that the instrument version number is 1.6 and
the logical ID number given is 17.
Warning! Do not activate any Autopilot functions until Dockside
Testing and Sea Trials APC routine have been performed.
3.2 Re-initialising the instrument
If two instruments have been given the same ID number by
mistake, you must re-initialise the instruments to avoid Network
disturbance and blockage of data.
To re-initialise the instrument, be prepared to press CLR during the
short power up sequence, i.e. when version and ID numbers are
displayed.
The display test is then re-started on all instruments and you will be
asked to press SET on one instrument at the time as explained
above.
Note! If you do not succeed to re-initialise, we suggest you
disconnect (just pull out the connection plug) on all, except one of
