1.1 Presentation
The Multifunction TL25 is a display from the TOPLINE range. Its three screens, with high
definition LCD technology, offer excellent readability and a wide angle of view of the data
displayed, whether by daylight or at night. It is connected to the TOPLINE bus of your
installation and displays all the channels available on the bus.
The TL25 is controlled using either a cable remote control or a radio remote control (not
included with the product).

1.2 List of channels created
The master display, whether it is the TL25 or any other TOPLINE display, and each TOPLINE
sensor, automatically create their respective channels when they are connected to the
TOPLINE bus.

Please note that the channels MAX SPD and AVERAGE SPD can be accessed when the TL25 is
master. In this case, these channels are displayed alternatively on one single screen. By default, this
channel is calculated using the surface speed, and in the absence of the latter it will be calculated using
the bottom speed. These average and maximum values are calculated from the last power-up of your
installation. You can reset these channels to zero, without switching off the bus : select the channel
MAX SPD and AVERAGE SPD then press the key for 2 seconds.

Press this key to select one of the three display screens of the TL25. The selected screen
flickers.
-Low key and High key
These keys allow to select a different channel to the one already displayed. They also allow to
increment or decrement a data which is in the process of being modified.

The remote control also enables you to control the other displays of your TOPLINE installation,
the address of which is lower than the address of the remote control. Press this key to select
the TOPLINE display, which you wish to operate.

Mob
Man Over Board key
Press this key for 5 seconds, and the function «Man Over Board» is activated. When a
speedometer and a compass are connected to the TOPLINE bus, the displays then
automatically indicate the estimated heading and distance to reach the man over board. If your
installation only comprises a speedometer, then only the estimated distance will be displayed.
To disable the «Man Over Board» alarm, you must cut off the power supply of your TOPLINE
installation.
CAUTION : the calculation of the estimate, for the Man Over Board function, does not take into
account the drift of the boat caused by the current and the wind.
For more detailed information, please refer to the remote control user guide.
1.4 Channel selection
The three screens of the TL25 are independent. Using the remote control, configure the display
according to your requirements. Examples of configuration:

1.4.1 Procedure
1.4.2 List of channels displayed
The master display, whether it is the TL25 or any other TOPLINE display, and each TOPLINE
sensor, automatically create their respective channels when they are connected to the
TOPLINE bus. You will find the list of created channels in annex 1.
1.5 What is a sub-channel
The sub-channels are made to modify setting and display parameters of the channels. For
example, the sub-channels of the surface speed channel are:
-offset and calibration coefficient : setting parameters of the log-speedometer sensor,
-the measurement unit : in knots or in km/hr,
-filter setting,
-high alarm and low alarm setting.
The same applies to all channels present on the TOPLINE bus. The following chapters provide
detailed explanations on how to access the sub-channels and implement the settings.
CAUTION : if your installation is equipped with several TOPLINE displays, make sure that
the remote control controls the display which you wish to operate. Press the key
repeatedly, until the intended display blinks.

1.6 Alarms setting
The setting of an alarm enables you to monitor the value of a channel. When the preset
threshold is exceeded, a warning message is displayed and an audible alarm is activated. For
example, you can set an upper threshold and a lower threshold on the surface speed channel.
High alarm is activated when the display is higher than the programmed threshold.
Low alarm is activated when the display is lower than the programmed threshold.
To cancel the alarm of a channel, enter the value 0in the upper alarm and the lower alarm.
Thus, the setting of the alarms will allow you to supervise your TOPLINE installation effectively
as well as the good operation of your boat.
Note that for angular channels such as magnetic heading or wind angle, the sub-channels of
alarms are the alarm base and the alarm range.
1.6.1 Setting procedure
CAUTION : if your installation is equipped with several TOPLINE displays, make sure that
the remote control controls the display which you wish to operate. Press the key
repeatedly, until the intended display flickers.

1.7 Filtering of the channels
The level of filtering of a channel determines the frequency of update of the data displayed.
For example, in rough sea when the boat moves significantly, it is useful to increase the filtering
of the speed channel to stabilise the value displayed. Conversely, in calm sea, low filtering will
be preferable to obtain a fast response of the display.
Filtering is adjustable between 1and 32, and the default value is 8. The lower this value is, the
higher the frequency of update is.
