8.3.6.2 Lighting banks
This function allows individual RS80 stations to be assigned to
different lighting banks across the SimNet bus. It enables
groups of SimNet products to be set up as “zones”, which
share the same backlight settings. This is useful on vessels
with, for example, an interior and an exterior steering position,
where the ambient lighting (and therefore backlighting
requirement) is different (Fig 8.13).
FLYBRIDGE (bank 1)
WHEELHOUSE (bank 2)
Fig 8.13 - Example of vessel with two lighting banks
Thus, on a flybridge cruiser all the equipment fitted on the fly-
bridge can be assigned to lighting bank 1 and the equipment in
the wheelhouse can be assigned to lighting bank 2.
Adjusting the lighting on one unit in bank 1 will be duplicated
on all other products in the same bank, but will not affect any
units in bank 2.
From the SimNet management menu select “LIGHTING
BANKS” and press O
K.
Use the V
OL ▲ and VOL ▼ keys to select the station you want
to assign to a particular lighting bank.
Use the numeric keypad to enter the bank number (0–63).
Press O
K to confirm.
Repeat the above sequence for each station fitted to the RS82.
Press O
N/C to exit to the SimNet management menu.
NOTE All IS12 instruments are set to “BANK 0” by default. It is not
possible to split IS12 displays into separate banks.
