GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO B&G NETWORK

The B&G Network range of instruments is designed to be
used as individual units or connected together to form an
integrated navigational system. A single network cable is
used to carry data and power between units. The latest
technology and screened cables throughout the Network
System ensure the ultimate protection from interference
between units and other systems. All Network instruments
can be linked to Network PILOT, Network CHART, Network
GPS or Network LORAN receivers or via NMEA 0183 (v1.5)
to other navigational equipment.

INTRODUCTION TO NETWORK QUAD

The Network QUAD unit measures and displays Speed,
Depth, Log, Timer and Sea Temperature information on a
large back-lit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The LCD is
divided into three display areas. The top area permanently
shows speed information, the centre area is selectable and
shows Log, timer, sea temperature and depth alarm
information, and the bottom area permanently shows depth
information.

The five keys allow selection of the displayed information
and setting of the units mode, calibration factors and
operating parameters.

It can operate as the main Network QUAD unit either alone
or as part of an Integrated Network Instrument System
taking inputs directly from Speed and Depth Sensors which
plug into the sockets at the rear of the display, or as a
repeater (by selecting repeater mode) of information
received via the two Network cable tails.

The Network QUAD REPEATER (not a Network QUAD in
repeater mode) does not have Speed and Depth Sensor
sockets, so it only receives data via the system network. It
offers identical facilities to a Network QUAD main unit but
can only ever be used as a repeater.

610-HB-0503-05

INTRODUCTION TO NETWORK QUAD CONT'D

The Network QUAD unit has three adjustable alarms:

1. Shallow water alarm

2. Deep water alarm

3. Anchor alarm

An internal alarm buzzer will sound when an alarm condition
is met and the display will flash. The alarm is broadcast to
all other Network Instruments in an integrated system, they
will also sound their alarms and flash their displays (except
Network WIND and Network TACK).

The Network QUAD unit is NOT able to transmit NMEA
0183 (v1.5), however, the Network QUAD REPEATER unit
is able to transmit NMEA data via the system network
cables to other Network units and connect to an NMEA
device e.g. a position fixer, with a special NMEA output
cable.

NETWORK QUAD DISPLAY UNIT

IMPORTANT NOTE

Your Network QUAD unit must be set-up and calibrated
correctly before it is used as part of a navigational system.

EXAMPLES SYSTEMS USING NETWORK QUAD

r

r

Only one Network QUAD unit should have speed and depth
sensors connected to it and set to transducer mode. Up to
three more Network QUAD (set to repeater mode) or QUAD
REPEATER units can be connected on to the system
network.

calculate the depth and is still functioning.

SELECTING THE DISPLAY MODE

The Network QUAD unit has two operating modes. The
correct mode must be selected for your Network system to
operate properly.

Transducer mode, the unit uses and displays
speed and depth data from sensors connected
directly into the display unit.

using data from the system network.

SETTING THE DISPLAY DAMPING

Damping allows the response time of the displayed speed
value to be slowed down if it is to jumpy in rough weather, or
to sped it up when the conditions are calm. The damping
works by averaging the values over a set time period; the
longer the time period the smoother the readings, however
the longer it takes to see a change. Similarly the shorter it is
the jumpier the readings, but the faster the response.

The Network QUAD unit has a factory set value of 5, this can
be adjusted in the range 1 to 64, each step is approximately
one second.

SPEED AND LOG CALIBRATION

Before Network QUAD is used for navigation the boat speed
and log have to be calibrated to ensure accuracy for your
installation and the boats hull characteristics.

Three methods are available with the Network QUAD unit,
two manual adjustments and one automatic:

METHOD 1. - MANUAL CALIBRATION - CAL

This procedure requires a reference boat speed with which to
compare the Network QUAD units displayed boat speed. For
example, another boat with an accurate calibrated log, or if
the top speed of the boat is known this value can be entered
during a sea trial to correct the
displayed value.

NOTE:

knots, the boat speed is known to be 6.0 knots. The
displayed value is adjusted to read 6.0 knots.

The accuracy of this method is dependent upon the

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This method of calibration must not be
carried out at boat speeds of LESS THAN 3 KNOTS as
inaccurate values can be entered into the units memory. If
the speed and log are not functioning correctly then enter a
calibration value of 5.3 to 6.2 and then re-enter the correct
calibration value as described below.

USING THE ANCHOR ALARM

The Anchor Alarm uses two adjustable alarm limits. The
alarm will sound if the water is deeper or shallower, by the
set values, than the original depth of water when the alarm
was enabled. This allows you to adjust your anchor chain
according to the tides.

The Network QUAD unit has a factory set Shallow limit of

0.5m and Deep limit of 1.0m.

In the following example, the original water depth was 3m
when the alarm was enabled. Using the factory set values,
the water depth could increase to 4m (3m + 1m) and
decrease to 2.5m (3m - 0.5m) before the alarm would
sound.

The anchor alarm depth limits are shown alternatively when
they are enabled and displayed using the

The Network QUAD unit has an internal buzzer that will
sound when an alarm condition is met on a Network unit
that has alarm functions ie. Network DEPTH and Network
QUAD for depth alarms and Network PILOT for Watch
Alarm and Off Course alarms. The unit will also display
which alarm is activated.

To silence the internal alarm and return the display to
normal operation press any of the five keys.

DEPTH ALARM DISPLAY (NOT QUAD UNIT)

Depth alarms can be set for the following:

•

Shallow water

•

Deep water

•

Anchor Watch

Check your Network DEPTH or QUAD unit to see which
alarm is activated.

FAULT AND ERROR MESSAGES

y

r

NETWORK PILOT FAULT DISPLAY (NOT QUAD UNIT)

If the Network PILOT should have a fault the autopilot
computer unit will send a message to all other Network
Display Units. The Network units will alternately display the
following message; the actual fault will have to read from
the Network PILOT Display unit.

UNIT INTERNAL ERRORS

In the unlikely event that your Network QUAD unit should
develop an internal error, the unit will sound its alarm
continuously and the display will show an error number.

Press any of the keys to reset the error condition and
silence this alarm. In some cases the fault can be cleared by
switching off the instruments at the supply, waiting a few
moments and then switching on again. If either of these
methods does not clear the fault the error number should be
recorded. Switch off the supply and disconnect the fault
unit. Return it with the error number to your dealer fo
servicing.

INSTALLATION

f

r

The display heads are supplied with a clip-in mounting
bracket which allows for easy installation, access from
behind is not necessary to secure the unit in place. However
to prevent theft and permanently fix the unit in position,
locking studs and thumb nuts are supplied.

SITING THE UNIT

All Network Instruments are designed for mounting on or
below deck. A mounting position should be selected where
they are:

•

Easy to read by the helmsman

•

On a smooth and flat surface

•

At least 100mm (4") from a compass

•

Accessible from behind for fitting locking studs if
required

MOUNTING THE UNIT

Use the cutting template supplied to mark the centres of the
holes for the self-tapping screw, the fixing stud holes and
the mounting bracket.

•

The template allows 4mm (5/32") between adjacent
units for the suncover, increase this distance i
required to maximum of 60mm (2 3/8") between units
or 180mm (3 1/8") between centres. For greate
distances between units extension cables are
available.

•

Use a 70mm (2 3/4") diameter hole-cutter for the
mounting bracket hole.

•

Use a 2.9mm for the self-tapping screw holes. Use a
5mm (3/32") drill for the locking stud holes.

•

Secure the mounting bracket to the bulkhead with the
self-tapping screws supplied

•

Fit the rubber-sealing gasket around the mounting
bracket.

•

Screw the locking studs into the back of the display
head (if required).

•

Carefully pass the cable tails through the mounting
bracket hole, connect the cables to the main units.

•

Clip the display head into the mounting bracket.

•

Secure the instrument with the thumb nuts supplied.
