Installation manual

Simrad PI54
176
851-165187 / Rev.A
Temperature sensor
The temperature sensor may be a
separate unit, or it may be integrated
with the echo sounder transducer. You
can also connect to external water
speed sensors using the NMEA
interface.
A typical setup page is shown. For
more detailed information about the
parameters, refer to the operator
manual.
1 Ensure that the sensor is connected to the PI54.
- If an echo sounder transducer with a built-in
temperature sensor is used, it must be connected to the
Echo2 socket.
- If you use a separate speed sensor it must be connected
to Echo2.
- If you wish to use temperature information from an
external source, you must connect this external sensor
to the NMEA1 or NMEA2 sockets.
2 Power up the PI54. Once up and running, press the
MENU button to open the main menu.
3 Press 4 to open the Setup menu, and 3 to open the
Interface setup dialogue. Allow the PI54 some time to
scan through the available i nputs.
4 Press the PAGE+ button four times to open the Water
dialogue.
5 Observe that the PI54 has detected the temperature sensor.
- The setting Source will show the name or identification
of the external system. Typically, the setting will read:
Source (one available).
- The name, identifiaction and/or input connector is
shown on the next line.
- Note that if more than one temperature sensors are
detected, all will be listed.
6 If more than one temperature sensors are listed, move the
cursor to the system you wish to use, and press the ENT
button to select it.
7 If only one sensor is shown, it is automatically selected by
the PI54.
8 Press the ENT key to acknowledge the setting and exit.
If Source is set to None, the most likely reason is that you have
a problem with the wiring.
