3.4 Operation
SIMRAD AR 80
DIM
The analog repeaters include a rotating dial and a dimmer
button.
Turning the repeater ON
The repeaters have no separate power button, and the unit is
automatically turned on when the cable is connected to the unit.
The repeaters have been designed to accept a variety of NMEA
input sentences. When the cable is connected to the repeater, it
will automatically sense which sentence that is present. The
following priority is used when defining the signal:
- True heading (HDT)
- Heading & Variation format (HDG)
- Old Heading format (HDM)
If the signal is invalid or missing after 1 second, the repeater
will indicate this by flashing illumination and by rotating the
dial back and forth +/-35° around the last known heading.
When the defined input signal is lost, the power must be
switched off and on again. If the cable not is connected via an
external switch, the cable must be disconnecting and
reconnected again to define a new input signal.
Adjusting display illumination
The rotary button is used for adjusting the background
illumination on AR78 and AR80. Rotating the button in a
clockwise direction will increase the light intensity, while the
light intensity will be decreased when the button is turned
counter-clockwise.
