IR861, dual axis speed and distance repeater, displays transversal and longitudinal
ships speed information. NINGLU IR861 is used with speed log having NMEA0183
output.
The operator may select between bottom and water related speed when these are
provided from log. IR861 indicates trip and total distance measured by the log.
Brightness is adjusted on the front panel, or from a remote controller. The display
can be deactivated by pressing the up and down buttons simultaneously. The
display will reactivated when any button is pressed.
INFORMATION FOR MANUAL
1. Accepted messages (NMEA0183, version 2.30), talker identifier is not
rocessed:
VBW - Dual Ground/Water Speed.
$--VBW,x.x,x.x,A,x.x,x.x,A,x.x,A,x.xA*hh<CR><LF>
VTG - Course Over Ground and Ground speed
$--VTG,x.x,T,x.x,M,x.x,N,x.x,K,a*hh<CR><LF>
Note: Fields, containing course information (underlined) are not processed
Note: km/hour field is not processed
VHW - Water speed and heading
$--VHW,x.x,T,x.x,M,x.x,N,x.x,K,*hh<CR><LF>
Note: fields, containing heading information (underlined) are not processed
Note: km/hour field is not processed
VLW - Distance Traveled through the Water
$--VLW,x.x,N,x.x,N*hh<CR><LF>
2. Speed vectors directions (For/Aft, Port/Starboard) are displayed by arrows
indicators; no sign is presented in the digital value.
3. Diagnostic information
3.1 If IR861 does not receive any signal from the external source for more than 3
seconds Error (“Err”) message is indicated on the LEDs. This may happen, for
example if external talker is not connected or connection polarity is not correct.
3.2 If input messages do not contain sentences, required for indication of selected
data, “_” (underline symbol) is indicated on the corresponding LEDs. As an
example: if there is no VLW message available on the input, IR861 will indicate
“ _______” instead if distance counter
3.3 If fields in the received message is empty (not valid data), dots are indicated on
the corresponding LEDs. As an example, if speeds over ground fields are empty in
VTG or VBW sentences and BT mode is selected on IR861, “...” will be indicated
instead of speed value.
