Raymarine Remote display User manual

Remote Display

Important
Due to the wireless communication systems used in Micronet
instruments they are only recommended for use on boats up to 18
metres (60 ft.) Before installing to a boat of aluminium or steel
construction, please contact your Raymarine dealer.
Like any other electronic instruments your Micronet system is designed
to serve only as an aid to navigation and it remains the skippers
responsibility to maintain a permanent watch and be aware of
developing situations.
Any attempt to take a Micronet product apart will invalidate the warranty.
The battery may only be replaced by a person trained and approved for
this purpose.
EMC Conformance
All Raymarine equipment is designed to the best industry standards for
use in the recreational marine environment. The design and
manufacture of Raymarine equipment conforms to the appropriate
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards. Correct installation is
required to ensure that performance is not compromised.

1 Information
1.1 Introduction
Your Raymarine Remote Display provides a unique combination of
features:
Mobile display of instrument data
All data available on your Micronet network can be viewed wherever you
are located on your vessel.
Remote control of Micronet displays
The Remote Display can control the other Micronet displays on your
network, i.e. Maxi, Dual Maxi and remote enabled models of the Digital,
Dual Digital and Analogue displays.
Solar Power
Your Micronet display is powered for life by the environment. Although
feature packed and highly visible in all conditions, current demand is so
low, and the supply so efficient, that the solar-powered display is self
sufficient. Combined with other displays in the Micronet range this
display becomes part of a complete navigational system.

will recharge in approximately 12
hours of direct bright sunlight.
LOW Power
Information
3
If using the displays at night, power usage can be reduced dramatically
by switching the Backlighting to level 1 or Off. If Backlighting is not
required on displays located below decks it is best to set them to "Local"
backlighting control (see page 28 S38) so that power is not being
wasted in displays which may not be visible from the one being viewed.
Note: If the internal battery is fully charged then it does not matter how
much the display is subjected to bright sunlight no further charging is
required and the Charge Rate Indicator will remain low.
If the displays are to be stored for a long period of time before next use
(Over Winter) ensure that the batteries are fully charged before storage.

1.3 Power Management and Battery Life
What makes your Micronet display possible is Raymarine’s revolutionary
approach to power management. By reducing the amount of power
being used by the electronics and maximizing the potential of the sun to
provide power, a Micronet display becomes a virtually perpetual device.
Power status is indicated by two icons on the display:
Battery Level and Charge Rate
Used together these icons will show the condition of the power supply.

Pocket Mode
When Pocket Mode is enabled (see page 28 S35) the Remote display
switches off the LCD panel after a user configured time delay. The unit
remains connected to the network and pressing any button switches the
display panel back on.
Sleep Mode
If there is no boat speed or change in heading registered on the system
for a period of 12 hours your Remote Display will switch off to conserve
power. A "POWER SAVE" alarm will sound before the system switches
off. Pressing any button within 10 seconds of the alarm sounding will
allow the system to remain switched on.
Backlighting will automatically shut down/off when operated in daylight.
Artificial light WILL NOT recharge the battery. Placing your Micronet
display close to an artificial light will seriously damage the display. Only
recharge in natural daylight.
1.4 Safety and Disposal
Your Micronet display contains Manganese Lithium Dioxide batteries
which should be disposed of correctly. Do not dispose of any instrument
in domestic waste. Refer to regulations in force in your country.
If in doubt return the instrument to Raymarine Ltd. for correct disposal.

2.3 Information Display Operation
Information is displayed in a "Chapter and Page" format using the
button to scroll through the chapters and the and buttons to
move between the pages within a chapter. The diagram below shows
the information format.
Pressing the button at any time moves to the next Chapter and the
page last selected in that Chapter will be displayed. Both Chapter and
Page selection will scroll back to the first page once a cycle has been
completed.
Four chapters are available:
Single line displays
Eight pages, each displaying a single item of data. The data
item to be displayed on each page can be selected in setup
from the full list of data pages described in section 2.8.
See setup on page 25 S28.
Four line displays
Four pages, each displaying four data items. The data items
to be displayed on each page can be selected in setup from
the full list of data pages described in section 2.8.
See setup on page 26 S29
Rolling Road display
A single page displaying the following navigation data:
current waypoint name, distance to waypoint, course over
the ground (COG), speed over the ground (SOG), bearing to
waypoint, cross track error and turn angle.
A rolling road diagram illustrates the vessels course in
relation to the direct track from the previous to the current waypoint and
the direction to steer to return to the direct track.
Graph Displays
Two pages, each displaying a plot of a user selected data
item against time. See setup on page 26 S30.
For the wind direction graph, LFT and HDR labels indicate
the lift and header trend segments of the graph.
To alter the time span of a graph:
Press the button while the graph is displayed. The message
“CHANGE TIME” appears at the top of the page. Use the and
buttons to change the time span. Press again to confirm the

2.4 Remote Control Operation
In this mode, the Remote Display is able to control the functions of other
displays on the Micronet network.
All remote control screens are displayed in "reverse", with white text on
a black background, to allow immediate recognition of remote control
mode.
Remote control mode is cancelled if a period of thirty seconds elapses
in which no key is pressed. The Remote Display automatically returns to
information display mode.
To enter Remote Control mode
Press and hold the button.
The Remote Display builds a list of the Micronet displays on
the network that are configured for remote control. This list
allows the user to select a display to control with the Remote
Display. The display that is currently selected for control is indicated by
the and markers around the display identifier.
The screen of the selected display will flash to indicate that it is under
remote control.
Displays on the network can be added to or removed from the list and
the order of the list can be modified. See setup on page 27 S32 for
details on how to configure the list

Pressing the , , or button on the Remote Display
has the same effect as pressing that same button on the controlled
display. For example, pressing the button will cause the controlled
display to scroll to the next chapter.
The full range of operation and configuration functions on the controlled
display is available by pressing keys on the Remote Display.
Note: The first press of , , or on the remote display
causes the screen of the controlled display to stop flashing but the
controlled display remains under remote control until the Remote
Display exits remote control mode.
To exit Remote Control mode
Press and hold the button. The Remote Display returns to
information display mode.
If a period of thirty seconds elapses without a key press, remote control
