B&G Network Quad - Manual (Page 2)

GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO B&G NETWORK INTRODUCTION TO NETWORK QUAD
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. 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.
INSTRUMENTS
Network SPEED
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. Network DEPTH
Network QUAD
Network WIND
Network TACK

NAVIGATIONAL AIDS
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. Network NAV
