1.3 Power Management and Battery Life

What makes your mn100 instrument possible is Tacktick’s

revolutionary approach to power management. By reducing the

amount of power being used by the electronics and maximizing the

potential of the sun to provide power, a mn100 instrument becomes a

virtually perpetual device.

Power status is indicated by two icons on the instrument display:

Battery Level and Charge Rate

Used together these icons will show the condition of your instrument’s

power supply.

Maintenance and Fault Finding

6.2.4 Low Battery Alarm sounds.

The power level is low in the Hull Transmitter, NMEA Interface or Wind

Transmitter. On any Digital Instrument enter Setup and Calibration

mode (Page 18) and scroll through to the Health Chapter. Check the

signal levels of the Transmitters and Interface Box. The signal level

should show a value of greater than 3 to ensure correct operation.

Connect the Hull Transmitter or NMEA Interface to a 9 to 24V power

source for 12 hours minimum to recharge the internal battery. Leave

the Wind Transmitter in bright sunlight for 12 hours minimum to

recharge its internal battery.

6.2.5 Data is shown as dashes.

The information is not been transmitted to the instrument Displays.

There may be lost communication between the Wind Transmitter or

Hull Transmitter and the instrument Displays. On any Digital

instrument enter Setup and Calibration mode (page 18) and scroll

through to the Health Chapter. Check the signal levels of the Hull and

Wind Transmitters. The signal level should show a value of greater than

3 to ensure correct operation.

6.2.6 Compass Transducer rattles and/or splashes.

Good! The fluxgate compass is gimballed in a fluid filled container to

ensure it is not affected by the boats movement in the water.

6.2.7 Compass information displayed on the instrument system does

not agree with the main steering compass.

Ensure that the main steering compass has been swung correctly and is

showing correct information. Ensure that the instrument system has

completed correctly the “Swing” procedure described on page 29. If

there are still differences, look for magnetic objects (loud speakers,

pumps and motors, etc.) close to the Transducer and try mounting the

compass transducer in an alternative location. After changing position

of nearby equipment or the Compass Transducer it will be necessary to

re-swing the compass following the procedure on page 29.

6.2.8 Boat Speed reads 0.

Information being transmitted from the Hull Transmitter is being

received with a Zero value. Check the paddle wheel for fouling, clean it

and make sure it turns easily.

6.2.9 Wind Speed reads 0.

Information being transmitted from the Wind Transmitter is being

received with a Zero value. If the anemometer cups at the top of the

mast are turning and the Wind Speed reads 0 then there is a problem

with your Wind Transmitter.

6.2.11 The Depth Alarm does not sound.

If the actual water depth is shallow and the alarm has not sounded it is

most likely that the alarm is switched off. From any Digital instrument

enter Setup and Calibration mode (page 18) and scroll through to the

Depth Chapter. Ensure the Depth Alarm settings are correct.

5.4 Surface Mounting

5.4.1 Where there is no access to the rear of the

mounting surface

Easy installation but will allow removal without gaining access to the

boat. Position the supplied Template carefully before starting.

1. Drill three 2mm holes marked “SURFACE” on the Template

2. Carefully snap the facia of the instrument off the main body

taking care not to drop the button pads. .

HINT – It may be useful to place a piece of sticky tape

across the front of the buttons before removing the facia to

prevent them from falling out during the installation.

3. Remove the three captive M4 nuts from the plastic moulding

and attach the instrument to the mounting surface using the

three self tapping screws provided. Take care not to over

tighten the screws as this may cause the moulding to crack.

4. Check the instrument is perfectly level, carefully position the

button inserts into the correct slots and snap the facia back

into position.

5.4.2 Temporary Mounting

1. Use the double sided tape provided to secure the instrument

to a suitable mounting surface. Press the instrument firmly

against the surface until secure.

Note: This method is recommended for temporary use only.

Operation

Important:

Ensure that the “Auto Network” procedure described on the yellow

instruction sheet and full Setup and Calibration has been performed

correctly before attempting to use your Micronet instruments for

navigation purposes.

2.1 Instrument Display Information

mn100 Dual Digital Display

If there is no boat speed or change in heading registered on the

system for a period of 12 hours your Micronet instrument will switch

off to conserve power. A “POWER SAVE” alarm will sound before the

instrument system is switched off. Pressing any button within 10

seconds of the alarm sounding will allow the system to remain

switched on.

Backlighting will automatically shut down/off when operated in

daylight.

Artificial light WILL NOT recharge the battery. Placing

your Micronet instrument close to an artificial light will

seriously damage the instrument. Only recharge in natural

daylight.

Applying External Power

In cases where instruments are mounted permanently below decks it

will be necessary to apply an external power source to prevent

complete discharge of the built in battery.

Connections on the rear of the instrument allow a 9V to 24V DC power

source to be connected. Connections can be made to the vessels DC

system or a 9V battery pack may be connected. It is recommended

that permanent connection is only made when the instruments are

permanently fixed to the vessel and not when the clip brackets are

used.

Connection to a 9V (PP3) battery will fully recharge the internal

battery over a period of 24 hours.

1.4 Safety and Disposal

Your Micronet instrument contains Manganese Lithium Dioxide

batteries which should be disposed of correctly. Do not dispose of any

instrument in domestic waste. Refer to regulations in force in your

country.

If in doubt return the instrument to Tacktick Ltd. for correct disposal.

Installation

5.4.3 Where access is available to the rear of the

mounting surface

This method allows for maximum security of a permanently mounted

instrument. Position the supplied Template carefully before starting.

1. Drill three 5mm holes marked “B” on the Template.

2 Stick the 3 supplied gaskets on the back of the instrument.

3. Screw the four M4 brass studs into the rear of the

instrument.

4. Place the instrument in position pushing the three studs

through the newly drilled holes.

5. Using the three supplied thumb nuts, secure the instrument

to the surface making sure the instrument is level before

final tightening.

5.5 External Power Connections

To connect an external 9 to 24 volt power supply to the instrument

head from either a portable battery or the vessel’s existing power

system.

1. Drill two 7mm holes marked “P” on the Mounting Template

and smooth them together with a sharp knife or small file.

2. Pass the supply cable through the new hole and attach the

supplied crimp spade receptacles.

3. Remove the blanking plug from the rear of the instrument to

expose the terminals.

4 Stick the supplied gasket on the back of the instrument.

5. Taking care to connect the correct polarity push the

receptacles firmly onto the spades on the rear of the case.

6. Mount the instrument head securely in position following the

steps shown above.

7. Clamp the cable securely close to the instrument.

6 Maintenance and Fault Finding

6.1 Care and Maintenance

All Micronet products are totally sealed against water and are not

serviceable. Any attempt to take a Micronet product apart will

invalidate the warranty.

To clean, use only a damp, soft cloth. No detergents, solvents or

abrasives should be used. To avoid damaging a Micronet display unit

we recommend storing in the supplied soft pack when not in use.

If the instruments are to be stored for a long period of time before

next use (Over Winter) ensure that the batteries are fully charged

before storage. If necessary connect to a 9 to 24v power supply for

24 hrs prior to storage.

6.2 Fault Finding and Technical Support

6.2.1 Power Save Alarm sounds.

There has been no significant data activity on the network. The alarm

sounds to indicate that the instrument system will turn itself off. To

continue using the system press any button to cancel the alarm.

6.2.2 Lost Network Alarm sounds.

On a single instrument this indicates that the particular instrument has

lost communication with the Master*. Either there is a problem with the

Master* instrument or the instrument in question has been moved out

of effective range.

On several instruments this indicates that these instruments have lost

communication with the Master*. Either there is a problem with the

master or the Master* has been moved out of effective range. The

instruments will power down shortly after sounding the alarm to save

power.

6.2.3 A single instrument flashes the battery symbol and then

switches off.

The battery level is low on the particular instrument affected. Connect

to a 9 to 24V power source or leave in bright sunlight for 12 hours

minimum to recharge the instrument’s internal battery. If the particular

instrument is the system Master* then the other instruments will sound

the Lost Network Alarm. To continue using the rest of the system

power down and restart the system from another instrument.

LOW Power and

Flashing

It is recommended that the

instrument be left in daylight for

some time for the battery to

recover, or charge from an

external 9 - 24V power source. A

fully discharged battery will re-

charge in approximately 12 hours

of direct bright sunlight.

If using the instruments at night power usage can be reduced

dramatically by switching the Backlighting to level 1 or Off. If

Backlighting is not required on instruments located below decks it is

best to set them to “Local” Backlighting control (see page 26 -s31) so

that power is not being wasted in instruments which may not be

visible from the one being viewed.

* If the internal battery is fully charged then it does not matter

how much the instrument is subjected to bright sunlight no further

charging is required and the Charge Rate Indicator will remain low.

If the instruments are to be stored for a long period of time before

next use (Over Winter) ensure that the batteries are fully charged

before storage. If necessary connect to a 9 to 24v power supply for

24 hrs prior to storage.
