5.4.1 200 p/NM speed output pulses set-up (Terminal 5)
It is possible to use the Display as an interface converting incoming NMEA speed
values to industry-standard 200 pulses/NM on the output. Function is set in Menu LP6.
Note! Exemption is made for NWW-85 Docking Display which has a fixed setting to
instead provide pulses referring to the currently displayed speed mode, i.e. automatic
alteration when displayed speed mode is changed.
5.4.2 External DIM set-up (Terminals 7 + 8)
External DIM is used to DIM the Display by means of two push buttons or a toggle
switch. When Menu LP5 is set to DIM, the activation of IN2/Terminal 7 has the same
function as pressing button on the Display itself and activation of IN3/Terminal 8
has the same function as pressing button.
5.4.3 External Remote Control Unit set-up (Terminal 6 + 7 + 8)
Control Unit is a simple remote control panel connected to the local Display mirroring
the 6 push buttons on the Display front. This function is activated in Menu LP5 when
set to Control Unit.
Note! Exemption is made for NWW-85 Docking Display which has a fixed setting,
DIM, to only enable external dim switch/button connection, thus the use of Control
Unit is not possible.
