Simrad MN000802A-G Marine RADAR User Manual


 
9.4 Configure the remote power control for a 6000i or 6100i
(common power source)
There is a choice of two different modes for powering the radar ON/OFF:
¾ Power on Option 1
If you want the radar to power ON automatically whenever the 6000i or 6100i is ON, program
the Honk Output as REMOTE PWR in the 6000i or 6100i. This option is contained in the Alarms
menu. (To access the Alarms menu, repeatedly press the * key until the Alarms menu is
visible.) You must also connect the Pink wire to the White/Orange wire in the junction box.
¾ Power on Option 2
If you want the radar to power ON automatically when the radar processor is powered ON,
connect the White/Orange wire to a NMEA ground in the junction box.
IMPORTANT: This remote power control option works correctly only when the 6000i or 6100i and
the radar processor share the same power earth and are located 16.5 ft (5 m) or less apart.
The radar processor has two remote power inputs with opposite active states which are OR’ed
together.
Pin 10 input (active low) is used by the 6000i or 6100i systems and Pin 12 input (active high) is
used by the 8000i system.
Pin 12 is tied to ground through the NS003107 cable, to allow control through Pin 10.
The radar processor has an active low input with a pullup resistor to Vbatt, to complement the
open collector output configuration of the 6000i or 6100i systems.
9.5 Configure the remote power control for a 6000i or 6100i
(different power sources)
When the 6000i or 6100i and the radar processor have isolated power supplies, or are located
more than 16.5 ft (5 meters) apart, there is a choice of two different modes for powering the
radar ON/OFF:
If you want the radar to power ON automatically whenever the 6000i or 6100i is ON, use the
following power ON/OFF configuration:
If you want the radar to power ON automatically when the radar processor is powered ON,
omit the relay and leave Pin 10 and 12 on Connector 1 (the NMEA/Comms connector) as No
Connect.
