Installing the NSO components Mounting location Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut. The display should be mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see the display screen. Be sure to leave a direct path for all of the cables. Simrad displays are highcontrast and anti-reflective, and are viewable in direct sunlight, but for best results install the display out of direct sunlight.
DI10 / DI15 Display Panel mount 1 Attach the flush mounting template to the selected mounting position. 2 Drill the four corner radius holes using a 10 mm (3/8 ”). 3 Drill pilot holes for the four self tapping screws used to secure the display. If using M4 machine screws use a 5 mm (3/16”) drill bit. 4 Cut along the indicated on the template. 5 Secure the display to the surface.
DI10 / DI15 Display Bracket Mount An alternative to flush mounting the DI10 or DI15 is to bracket mount the display. The display may be tilted for best possible viewing angle when bracket mounted. 1 Use the lower half of the bracket as a template to mark the screw hole location. 2 Drill pilot holes and hole for cables if required 3 Secure the bracket base to the surface.
OP40 Panel Mount 1 Secure the flush mount template in the desired location 2 Drill the four holes to suit M4 machine screw or pilot hole for a self tapping #8 screw 3 Use a 38 mm (1.5") hole saw to cut corner radius 4 Cut along line indicated on the template and remove waste material 5 Secure the OP40 and gasket the surface.
Card Reader Installation The card reader connects to the USB port of the NSO MPU.
System architecture This section explains how the NSO connects to other devices as part of a system. The NSO has a highly scalable system architecture. A system can consist of a basic stand alone chart plotter, or expand to a networked, multi-display system connected to a wide range of accessories.
Data Bridging • Supported NMEA0183 sentences entering the system are bridged (converted) to SimNet / NMEA2000 and distributed on the SimNet backbone for all other displays to use • Certain SimNet /NMEA2000 PGNs (messages/sentences) are bridged across to NMEA0183 to be available as an output from any NSO / NSE processor • Ethernet to SimNet: Limited data is bridged from the Ethernet echosounder. Speed, depth and temperature are bridged to SimNet and NMEA0183.

Video Out The NSO Marine Processor has 2 DVI connectors. Video 1 is a DVI-D port supporting just a DVI digital display or monitor. DI10 DI15 MO19 or 3rd party DVI Monitor Both video ports output the same information at the same resolution, so if using DI10 or DI15 displays both screen sizes have to be the same size. However a monitor with a built in scaler such as MO19 can be combined with a different size display.
Video 2 is DVI-I, which can support a DVI display monitor and also with the use of an optional Y cable, can also output to an RGB monitor.

SimNet SimNet is a data network based on NMEA2000 CAN bus technology that makes interconnection and integration of Simrad and NMEA2000 products simple. SimNet permits the exchange of data between the interfaced products and enables the flow of commands and instructions between the various SimNet and NMEA2000 compatible products. The data transfer capability of SimNet is 50 times higher than the NMEA0183 standard at 4800 baud.
• Certain Simrad products have two SimNet connectors, which can be made to be part of the backbone.

Integrating SimNet and other CAN networks Increasingly there are vessels that will have NMEA2000 based networks provided by different manufacturers. If networks from different manufacturers are required to share data, it is important to plan how both networks are going to interface to each other.
When interfacing to C-ZONE or another NMEA2000 network it is recommended to use a BEP Network interface bridge (A) to join the two network backbones together. C-ZONE / NMEA2000 Network interface bridge isolates the power of the two networks but allows data to be freely shared between. The Network Interface has built in terminators so needs to be placed at the extremity of each network backbone.
Ethernet The NSO system uses an Ethernet network to interconnect high bandwidth devices such as radar and echo sounder. The NSO marine processor has one Ethernet network port with an RJ45 connector. A short RJ45 male to 5 pin female cable 160mm (6") is included with the NSO and is fitted to the NETWORK port.
Connecting NSO to one other Ethernet performance module Using the supplied RJ45 to 5 Pin yellow adapter, any one of the Ethernet performance modules using one of the 5 Pin Yellow Ethernet cables can connect directly to an NSO Ethernet performance modules BR24 BSM-1 BSM-2 LSS-1 WM-2 WM-2 NSO RJ45 to Yellow 5 Pin female Ethernet adapter (crossover) Yellow 5 Pin Ethernet cables Connecting directly to HD Radar NSO RJ45 to Yellow 5 Pin female Ethernet adapter RED (crossover) HD Radar RJ45 to Yellow 5 Pi
Connecting to two or more performance modules Connecting to more than one Ethernet device will require using a Ethernet network switch such as NEP-2.
NMEA0183 wiring To exchange NMEA0183 data, the NSO has one NMEA0183 communication. The port uses RS232 protocol and can be configured in the software for different baud rates. NMEA sentences can be turned on or off.
External alarm An external alarm can be connected to one or more NSO processors on the network. The external alarm can be a small peizo buzzer connected directly or a horn siren connected via a relay. The external alarm output is the dark green wire on the Utility cable. This pulls to ground to sound the alarm. If the current drawn by the external alarms is more than 250 mA, fit a relay. Alarms are configured globally in the system i.

Dual Radar Support BR24 and HD radar Interference will be seen on BR24 at most ranges, when a pulse radar is transmitting at the same time on the same boat. It is Navico’s recommendation to only transmit one radar at a time: e.g. BR24 for typical navigational usage, or pulse radar to locate weather cells, defined coastlines at a distance and to trigger Racons.

BSM-1 Transducer adapter cables For vessels with existing transducers there are two adapter cables available to assist with BSM-1 installation. For vessels that already have an transducer that was used with older Navico products that has 6 pin connector. Use 000-00022-001 6 pin to 7 pin transducer adapter cable. These transducers will require the 10 k temp version of the transducer selected for transducer type in Echo Installation. See the Echosounder Setup section on page 69 for further information.
NSO Auto Pilot Integration An NSO can be used as a control head for the Simrad AC12 or AC42 Auto pilot computers. It can be used as the sole control head unit or in parallel to AP24 or AP28 control head units.

Commissioning checklist The NSO has a number of advanced features which can be configured through the settings menu. It is recommend you become familiar with the operation of the unit using the default settings before making any changes to these menus. Settings menus will vary depending on the optional sensors and devices attached. Before changing system settings make sure that all displays are powered on as a lot of settings are global and are shared across the Ethernet network.

Data setup Data set up is required on initial start up of the system, or if any part of the SimNet or NMEA 2000 network has been changed or replaced.
There are ten categories of sources such as Compass, Navigation, Position etc. Under each of these categories a display can be set to receive data from sources as part of the Simrad group or receive the source data independently from the group (None) The example below shows the available options for position sources, and that the GS15 GPS is used by all displays with group selection set to Simrad. If you selected the GS10 all displays in the Simrad group would use the GS10 GPS.
SimNet Groups The SimNet Group function is used to control parameter settings, either globally or in groups of units. It groups parameter settings such as backlighting, units and alarms. The function is used on larger vessels where several units are connected via the SimNet network. By assigning several units to the same group, a parameter update on one unit will have the same effect on the rest of the group members. The following example shows a two station installation.
Damping Controls how quickly instruments respond to changes in values from sensors. Damping can be used for heading, wind, boat speed and depth instruments. Increasing the damping applies more averaging or smoothing of the data update rate on the instrument or display. Damping settings are applied to SimNet displays and Instruments belonging to particular damping SimNet Groups.
Speed Calibration (SimNet Transducers) Water speed off set Water speed calibration is used to adjust the speed value from the paddle wheel to match the actual speed. This can be measured either from the GPS speed over ground (SOG) or by timing the boat over a known distance. Water speed calibration should be performed with as little wind and current movement as possible. Select Auto correct to match water speed to ground speed Manual calculation. If in average the water speed reads 8.
Autopilot Setup If an AC12 or AC42 autopilot computer is connected to the NSO system, autopilot functionality will be included in the NSO. The NSO can be connected to a full autopilot system including an AP24 or AP28 control head, or the NSO can be used as the only control head in the autopilot system. Wiring the autopilot system The AC12/AC42 is connected to the NSO system using the SimNet network.
x2 MENU WIN When the autopilot computer is delivered from factory AND ANY TIME AFTER AN AUTOPILOT RESET HAS BEEN PERFORMED, you will have to run a complete setup again. All steps in all commissioning procedures are clearly described on-screen, and you will be guided step by step through the process.
- When this test is started the autopilot computer will issue a series of PORT and STBD rudder commands and automatically verify correct rudder direction. It detects minimum power to drive the rudder and reduces the rudder speed if it exceeds the maximum preferred speed (8°/sec.) for autopilot operation. The system will also detect whether the drive unit is a reversible motor or if a solenoid valve is operated.

In certain areas and at high latitudes the local magnetic interference becomes more significant and heading errors exceeding ±3° may have to be accepted. Compass mounting offset After compass calibration, the difference between the compass lubber line and the boat’s center line should be compensated for.

By pressing the left/right arrow keys the course will change as much as this value. Range Change per step Default Units 50 - 150 1 100 ° Wind function With wind function set to Auto, the autopilot will automatically select between apparent and true wind steering. Auto is default and recommended for cruising.
Rudder This parameter determines the ratio between commanded rudder and the heading error. The higher rudder value the more rudder is applied. If the value is too small it will take a long time to compensate for a heading error, and the autopilot will fail to keep a steady course. If the value is set too high the overshoot will increase and the steering will be unstable. Counter rudder Counter rudder is the amount of rudder used to try to prevent the boat from yawing around the set course.
The settings are used for the tack-prevent function. They also applies when the autopilot is operating in WindNAV mode. Refer to the Operating the autopilot section. You can select different minimum wind angles for port and starboard. The difference between port and starboard will be taken into account when calculating the Distance To Turn (DTT).
Echosounder setup Depth offset This is a value that can be entered on the Echo Installation page to make the depth represent either depth below the transducer or depth below the surface. A) Depth below Keel value: Is the distance from transducer to the keel: Enter a negative value. B) Depth Below Transducer: no offset required. C) Depth Below Surface (waterline) value: Is the distance from transducer to the surface: Enter a positive value.
Transducer type (Echosounder) Transducer type is used for selecting the transducer model connected to the echo sounder module. In some transducers with built-in temperature sensors, the temperature may not be correct if the correct transducer is not selected from the transducer type menu.
