HS 2000 User Manual Part 1 - Introduction PART 1 - INTRODUCTION 1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The HS 2000 is a fully integrated power boat instrumentation system that displays information obtained from various sensors on a choice of displays positioned throughout the boat. Information is fed from the sensors to a Main Processor via a high speed communications network.
HS 2000 User Manual Part 1 - Introduction The Main Processor Unit contains the battery backed memory that stores all calibration, damping and alarm settings while the power is OFF; these are adjustable from any FFD. 1.3 SENSORS 1.3.1 Paddle-Wheel The Paddle-Wheel Speed Sensor is designed primarily for cruising boats and consists of a paddle-wheel which protrudes through the hull via a hull-housing.
HS 2000 User Manual Part 1 - Introduction 1.3.3 Super Halcyon 3 Fluxgate Compass This fluxgate compass sensor is fully gimballed in a bath of oil, ensuring accurate readings at all normal angles of heel and pitch. 1.3.4 Halcyon 2000 Fluxgate Compass The Halcyon 2000 Compass is a high performance electronic fluxgate compass for use on power craft. It has been designed specifically to connect directly onto the proprietary B&G high speed databus, thus ensuring fast updates and accurate information.
HS 2000 User Manual Part 1 - Introduction The NMEA FFD contains an NMEA interface which enables the HS 2000 to connect to other sensor devices such as position fixers, autopilots, track plotters and radars provided by other manufacturers. For example, information from the GPSplus can be transferred from the bridge to a steering position above decks.
HS 2000 User Manual Part 1 - Introduction Damping should not be confused with the update rate which is the number of times each second that the function value is sent to the display. This update rate is fixed for all functions. 1.7 MENU STRUCTURE The central concept to the operation of the system is the structure of the Function Menus accessed through the FFD; once these are understood operation becomes simple. Regular users of computers will be familiar with the concept of structured menu layers.

HS 2000 User Manual Part 6 - Diagnostic Data PART 6 - DIAGNOSTIC DATA 6.1 FFD DIAGNOSTICS The FFD program contains a number of diagnostic functions which allow the FFD keys, display and memory to be tested, and also performs checks on other components of the system via the network. One of the more useful of these tests enables the user to determine the software version numbers of the processor units in the system. This information is useful when liaising with Service Agents. 6.1.
HS 2000 User Manual Part 6 -Diagnostic Data If the key operation is not detected after a short interval then the message TIME OUT is displayed. 6.1.3 Display The Scroll Up Key can be used to step the display through a sequence that switches ON single segments in all characters, blanks the display and switches ON all segments. When all segments are switched ON, 16 characters are displayed at the top and bottom of the display.
HS 2000 User Manual Part 6 - Diagnostic Data 6.1.8 Lighting This option checks for correct operation of the display lighting control. 6.1.9 Debug CAUTION: This test is not for normal use, since it may seriously affect the operation of the HS 2000 System. This option is used for accessing memory in other units in the system. 6.1.10 RES-SYS CAUTION: Do not use this option during normal operation as the system will give inaccurate results until re-calibrated.
HS 2000 User Manual Part 6 -Diagnostic Data 6.1.12 Errors This option is primarily used to interrogate the HS 2000 network and is designed for use by service technicians to ascertain levels of interference that may be present, for example, interference may be induced by an SSB transmitter or radar. The display shows the number of messages that have not been transmitted correctly in the first instance; between 10 and 20 errors per minute is quite normal.
HS 2000 User Manual Part 6 - Diagnostic Data All of these symptoms can be caused by external conditions, so care and additional tests should be performed before concluding that the fault lies with the Depth Sounder. Two Depth Sounder parameters which can assist in diagnosing faults are measurements of receiver gain and noise; these can be found in the PARAMTR Menu on any FFD. 6.2.
HS 2000 User Manual Part 6 -Diagnostic Data 6.2.2 Boat Moving Symptom: Display shows: -when boat is moving; this is most often an indication of difficult sounding conditions, but can also indicate a badly positioned transducer. Possible causes: (a) Difficult sounding conditions and/or Depth Sounder unable to track rapidly changing bottom. If entering shallow water, the boat should slow down and proceed with caution. (b) Aeration in the water.
HS 2000 User Manual Part 6 - Diagnostic Data 6.2.3 Consistently Shows Shallow Depth Symptom: Display consistently shows a shallow depth between 0 and about 1.5m. Possible causes: (a) Faulty transducer. The transducer rings for too long after the transmit pulse is sent and the ringing is interpreted as a shallow return by the Depth Sounder. On a deep keeled boat it may be possible to overcome this problem by increasing the minimum depth to just less than the draft of the yacht.
HS 2000 User Manual Part 6 -Diagnostic Data will only occur when other boats are in the close vicinity, for example, when moored alongside in a crowded marina. Furthermore, acoustic noise can be generated by water flow past the transducer and other items of mechanical machinery. (c) Mid-water echoes.
