Raymarine Belgium Bvba T113-916 Users 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 Tacktick 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 Tacktick equipment is designed to the best industry standards for use
in the recreational marine environment. The design and manufacture of
Tacktick equipment conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) standards. Correct installation is required to ensure
that performance is not compromised.

1.1 Introduction

Your Tacktick 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.

LOW Power

Information

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 Tacktick’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 Tacktick Ltd. for correct disposal.
