MULTI 3100 Installation and Operation Manual |
1 Introduction
The MULTI 3100 measures and displays speed, water depth and water temperature. It can calculate and display average speed, maximum speed, trim speed, trip log (distance) and total log.
An installed MULTI 3100 usually has two parts:
The display unit.
Depth and speed / temperature transducers which are attached to the hull and wired to the display unit.
The unit is powered from the boat’s power supply.
The MULTI 3100 is part of the NAVMAN family of instruments for boats, which includes instruments for speed, depth, wind and repeaters. These instruments can be connected together to form an integrated data system for a boat (see section 8).
For maximum benefit, please read this manual carefully before installation and use.
How the transducer measures depth
The depth transducer generates an ultrasonic (sound) pulse, which travels down through the water. When the pulse meets the bottom, some of the pulse is reflected back up towards the boat and is received by the transducer.
The display unit analyses the reflections from each pulse. It removes unwanted reflections (from bubbles and other objects) and calculates the depth by measuring the time between sending the pulse and receiving its echo.
How the transducer measures speed
The speed transducer has a small paddlewheel which spins as the boat moves through the water. The transducer measures how fast the paddlewheel is spinning and calculates the boat speed by averaging several measurements.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the display unit and any plastic transducers with a damp cloth or mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners, petrol or other solvents.
When repainting the hull, cover or remove any visible transducers. Depth transducers may be coated with a thin layer of antifouling paint; gently sand off any previous paint first.
Do not use a high pressure water blast on the speed transducer paddlewheel as it may damage the bearings.

2 Operation
2-1 Turn on and off
Turn the unit on and off with the auxiliary power switch on the boat. The unit does not have its own power switch. When you turn it off, any settings you have made are retained.
If the word SIM flashes at the bottom, right of the display, then the unit is in simulate mode (see section 2-5).
2-2 Basic operation
The keys
The unit has four keys, labelled 
and 
. In this manual:
Press means to push the key for less than one second.
Hold for two seconds means to hold the key down for two seconds or more.
Press one key + another key means to push both keys together.
Set backlight level for screen and keys
You can set the backlight to one of four brightness levels or off. Press 
once to display the current backlight level, press 
again to change the level:
Backlight
Level 2
Change the items displayed
The display can show two values at once, one in the top part of the screen and one in the bottom. If an item displays as dashes (— —) then it means that the value is outside the range, for example the depth might be too deep or unknown.
To change what is displayed in the top part of the screen, press 
one or more times to select:
Speed.
Avg speed.
Max speed.
Trim speed.
Depth.
Temperature.
To change the value displayed in the bottom part of the screen, press 
one or more times to select:
Speed.
Depth.
Trip log (distance).
Total log (distance).
Battery voltage. Countdown timer.
2-3 Change units
To change the speed and log units, press 
until SPEED is displayed, then hold 
until the units change; if necessary, hold 
again until the units change again.
To change the depth units, press 
until DEPTH is displayed, then hold 
until the units change; if necessary, hold 
until the units change again.
To change the temperature units, press 
until the temperature is displayed, then hold 
until the units change.
2-4 Alarms
The MULTI 3100 can be set to sound an alarm when the water is too deep or too shallow (see sections 5-2 and 5-3). When the alarm sounds, the internal beeper sounds, the 
symbol on the display flashes and any external beepers or lights operate.
Press 
to mute the alarm. The alarm stays muted until the depth becomes returns to the pre-alarm condition or is within the alarm parameters. The alarm will sound if the depth becomes too deep or too shallow again.
2-5 Simulate mode
Simulate mode allows you to become familiar with the unit off the water. In Simulate mode, the MULTI 3100 functions normally except that the transducers are ignored and the unit generates this data internally. The word SIMULATE flashes at the bottom, right corner of the screen.
To turn Simulate mode on or off:
1Turn the power off.
2Hold down 
while you turn the power on.
