Conventions
Used when it is necessary to warn personnel that a risk of damage to the
equipment or injury/death exists if care is not exercised.
Used to draw the reader’s attention to a comment or some important information.
Important safety and warning information
Please read carefully before use.
When navigating the vessel, use the Simrad NSE system only as a navigational
aid. Proper navigation of the vessel is the sole responsibility of the vessel
operator.
The electronic chart used by the NSE System is an aid to navigation only
and is designed to supplement, not replace, official government charts. Only
official government charts supplemented by notices to mariners contain the
information required for safe and prudent navigation. Always supplement the
electronic information provided by the Simrad NSE with other plotting sources
such as observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass bearings.
Should the information not agree, the discrepancy must be resolved before
proceeding any further.
Never operate the NSE in Simulate Mode while you are underway. It is the
user’s responsibility to ensure that Simulate Mode is used only in safe
situations such as when you are moored in a marina.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US Government which is
solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system
is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all
GPS equipment anywhere in the world.
The accuracy of the Echosounder depth display can be limited by many
factors, including the type of transducer, the location of the transducer, and
water conditions. Ensure that the transducer is installed correctly and the
Echosounder is used correctly.

10 | Installing the display
Installing the display
Mounting location
Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut. The display should be
mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see the display
screen. Be sure to leave a direct path for all of the cables. The display screen is high-
contrast and anti-reflective, and is viewable in direct sunlight, but for best results install
the display out of direct sunlight. The chosen location should have minimal glare from
windows or bright objects.
Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure.
If in doubt, consult a qualified boat builder.
At least 100 mm (4”) away from the compass, at least 300 mm (12”) away from any
radio transmitter and at least 1.2 m (4 ft) away from any antenna.
Before cutting a hole in a panel, make sure that there are no hidden electrical wires or
other parts behind the panel.
Do not mount any part where it can be used as a hand hold, where it might be
submerged, or where it will interfere with the operation, launching or retrieving of the
boat.
If bracket mounting chose a flat area where the display will not be subjected to excessive
vibration.
Leave sufficient clearance space behind the display to connect all relevant cables.
Good ventilation is required behind the mounting panel. Poor ventilation may cause the
display to overheat. The display is designed to operate in temperatures from -15° C to
+55° C (+5° F to +131° F).
For overall width and height requirements, please see the drawings at the back of this
manual.

12 | Installing the display
Bracket Mount
An alternative to flush mounting the NSE8 or NSE12 is to bracket mount the unit. This
method has the advantage that the display can easily be removed when not in use. The
display may be tilted for best possible viewing angle when bracket mounted.
Press the ratchet washers into the1
bracket.
Loosely screw securing knobs to the2
Display unit.
Temporarily mount the display3
unit in the bracket and make sure
the display can be adjusted to the
correct angle without interfering
with the surrounding. Allow space
for cables attached to the rear of
the unit.
Remove the display unit and use the4
mounting bracket as a template to
mark the five positions of the screw
holes.

Drill a pilot hole for the five screws5
and an optional hole large enough
for the cables to emerge from.
Secure 5 the bracket to the surface6
Connect the cables.7
Slide the display into the mounting8
bracket and secure in place with the
bracket knobs.
Attach the bezel. Firmly clip the9

BC
Protect the dash area adjacent to the top edge (or bottom edge) of the display.
Apply upwards pressure on the bezel (A), this will create an opening between the
bezel and the case. Insert a medium size flat blade screw driver into the gap (B) Slide
the screw driver along the gap to release the clips along the top. Continue down the
side until the bezel releases. The same routine can be applied to the bottom edge if
accessible.

14 | System architecture
System architecture
This section explains how the NSE connects to other devices as part of a system. The
NSE has a highly scalable system architecture. A system can consist of a basic stand
alone chart plotter, or expand to a networked, multi-display system connected to a wide
range of accessories.
The system architecture is modular with a wide range of peripherals and accessories
that can be connected to SimNet or NMEA2000 devices such as instrument systems,
AIS, GPS and heading sensor to Ethernet devices such as Radar and Echosounder. For
multi display installations the system can be set up to be truly masterless, i.e. have no
dependency on other displays being powered on.
A NSE display can connect to other devices in the system by Ethernet, SimNet /
NMEA2000 or NMEA0183.
A system can have:
between one and six displays, The displays can be any mix of NSE8 and NSE12•
one radar only•
one echosounder only•
Networking, Data Interfacing
The NSE system can use three data networks. SimNet (NMEA2000), Ethernet and
NMEA0183.
SimNet / NMEA 2000
SimNet is Simrad’s proprietary CAN bus network for transfer of navigation data such•as wind, Position, AIS, etc between all SimNet or NMEA2000 devices on a SimNet/
NMEA2000 network.
SimNet is lower bandwidth than the Ethernet network, but is 50 times faster than•NMEA0183
Ethernet: (NETWORK ports)
NSE uses an Ethernet network for the transfer of high bandwidth data between other•NSE displays and from network modules such as Radar, Echosounder and Weather
module
Each NSE display has three Ethernet network ports. An optional 5 port expansion port•is available. (Recommended for multiple NSE displays)
Ethernet does not transfer navigation data such as position, heading etc. This is•handled either by SimNet and or NMEA 0183. However navigation and display settings
are synchronized over Ethernet
NMEA0183
NMEA0183 is a point to point connection. Each NSE display has one NMEA0183 port•using RS422 protocol. Each display can output to one NMEA0183 “Listener” and
receive from one NMEA0183 “Talker”.

System architecture | 15
Data Bridging
Supported NMEA0183 sentences entering the system are bridged (converted) to•SimNet/NMEA2000 and distributed on the SimNet backbone for all other displays to
use
Certain SimNet /NMEA2000 PGNs (messages/sentences) are bridged across to•NMEA0183 to be available as an output from any NSE display
Ethernet to SimNet. Limited data is bridged from the Ethernet echosounder. Speed,•depth and temperature are bridged to SimNet and NMEA0183. Depth, speed and
temperature data from the echosounder is the only data bridged from Ethernet

A In this example a NMEA0183 (talker) is connected to DISPLAY 1
B The NMEA sentences are bridged across to SimNet and distributed on the
SimNet network
C The NMEA0183 listener connected to DISPLAY 2 can receive the NMEA0183
sentences from the device connected to DISPLAY 1 and also from other de-
vices that are on the SimNet network
An NMEA talker can be connected to each NSE display and both set of data will be
converted to SimNet. Each display can be setup for outputting selected NMEA sentences.
Speed, temp and depth data from the echosounder transducer that is to be displayed
as an instrument has to bridged from ethernet to SimNet. A NSE display has to be
nominated to bridge the data. If this nominated display is turned off, no data will be
displayed, until the display is turned on or another display is selected to bridge the data
(see Source Selection on page 45).
NMEA0183 to SimNet bridging only applies to the NMEA0183 sentences outlined in the
Supported NMEA0183 Sentences section of this manual (see page 62).
