Chapter 2: Operation

2.1 General
The Maxiview operates around a chapter and page principle chapters are independent sections: speed, depth, wind, etc., and pages data related to that chapter. When the Maxiview is powered up for the first time, the unit defaults to the SAIL configuration, unless a POWER configuration is received via SeaTalk (refer to the Masterview setup chapter).
Operating the Maxiview using the Remote Keypad

To operate the Maxiview using the Remote Keypad, you must first carry out the setup procedures covered in the ST80 Remote Keypad setup chapter.
Note: SeaTalk data must be available for a chapter to function. For example, if speed data is lost for 8 seconds, the speed chapter is replaced by a warning screen.

Keypad Beeps

The keypad beeps once every time a key is pressed. An incorrect key sequence causes the Maxiview to beep a further 2 times.
Gaining Control of the Maxiview

Chapter 4: CodeLock Security

4.1 What is CodeLock?

CodeLock is a personal four digit security code designed to protect your valuable equipment against theft. CodeLock does not have to be switched on, but its there if you decide that you need it. When CodeLock is switched on, the code number is stored in the memory of all CodeLock compatible equipment on the same bus. A CodeLocked piece of equipment, if stolen, cannot be used without the correct code number. There are basically two types of CodeLock compatible equipment: masters and slaves.

Masters

Are used to create and enter a CodeLock code number. The ST80 Masterview is a master display head.

Slaves

Cannot be used to create a CodeLock code number. Can be used to enter a code number to unlock a system. Receive and transmit your chosen code number only. ST80 slaves consist of the: Analogue Wind, Analogue Close Hauled Wind, Analogue Compass, Maxiview and the Analogue Multitrim. Code creation is usually a once-off procedure carried out on a master display head, which, ideally, is situated in a secure location below deck. Once entered, the code is automatically sent to all CodeLock compatible SeaTalk equipment without further intervention. If you require a higher degree of security, perhaps all your instruments are mounted in exposed locations, CodeLock can demand that you enter your personal code every time the system is switched on. In this configuration, the code can be entered into any convenient master display head.

4.2 Analogue Display Heads Automatic CodeLock Systems
In an automatically transmitted CodeLock system, the Maxiview reads the code number and starts-up automatically without any user input.

Manual CodeLock System

In a manually transmitted CodeLock system, the code number is entered via the keypad of any master display head. This code is then sent to all compatible equipment on the same SeaTalk bus. Once this code has been received, the equipment operates in the normal way.

4.3 Enabling CodeLock

The CodeLock security feature can only be switched on from a Masterview display head. Therefore, please refer to the Masterview Operation & Setup manual for details.

Chapter 6: EMC and Servicing Guidelines
6.1 Important information
All Autohelm equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the leisure marine environment. Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but good installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product.

6.2 Installation

To avoid the risk of operating problems, all Autohelm equipment and cables connected to it should be; At least 1m (3 feet) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals, e.g., VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 2m (7ft). More than 2m (6ft) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. The equipment should be supplied from a different battery than the one used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10V in the power supply to our products can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment, but will cause the loss of some information and can change the operating mode. Genuine Autohelm cables should be used at all times. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and so should be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual. If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be removed. If the ferrite has to be removed during installation it must be reassembled in the same position.

Chapter 2: Maintenance & Fault Finding

2.1 Maintenance

All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the leisure marine environment.

Servicing and safety

Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorised Raymarine service engineers. They will ensure that service procedures and replacement parts used will not affect performance. There are no user serviceable parts in any Raymarine product. Some products generate high voltages, and so never handle the cables/connectors when power is being supplied to the equipment. Always report any EMC related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. We will use any such information to improve our quality standards.

Cabling

Periodically examine all cables for chafing or other damage to the outer shield. When necessary, replace and secure damaged cables.

Assistance

For advice or further information regarding this product, please contact the Raymarine Product Support Department or your own National Distributor.

2.2 Fault finding

All Raymarine products are subjected to a comprehensive test procedure prior to packing and shipping. In the unlikely event that a fault does occur with your Remote Keypad, use the following check list to help identify and rectify the problem.
Keypad does not operate Make sure the cable connecting the keypad to SeaTalk is connected properly. Make sure the cable is not damaged. Replace the cable if it is damaged. Instruments do not operate in a logical sequence Instruments and keypad are not grouped. Refer to Chapter 4, Setup chapter for grouping details. All instruments operate at the same time Instruments are not grouped. Refer to Chapter 4, Setup chapter for grouping details. Instruments cannot be remotely controlled Not in a keypad group. Refer to Chapter 4, Setup chapter for grouping details.

Chapter 3: Installation

Chapter 3 Installation
3.1 Planning your installation
Before installing your SeaTalk Remote Keypad, spend some time considering the best position. It should be fitted in a position which gives optimum accessibility while at the same time satisfying the EMC installation guidelines and the other Site requirements, described below. Ensure that you have all the necessary components, templates and tools for the job.
EMC installation guidelines
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the leisure marine environment. Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product. To minimise the risk of operating problems: All Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it should be: At least 1 m (3 feet) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals, e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 2 m (7 ft). More than 2 m (7 ft) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. The equipment should be supplied from a different battery than the one used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V in the power supply to our products can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment, but will cause the loss of some information and can change the operating mode. Raymarine specified cables should be used at all times. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and so should be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.

If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be removed. If the ferrite has to be removed during installation it must be reassembled in the same position.

Suppression Ferrites

The following illustration shows the typical range of suppression ferrites fitted to Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites specified by Raymarine.
Connections to other equipment
If your Raymarine equipment is going to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be fitted to the cable close to the Raymarine unit.
5 mm twist drill Power drill 45 mm (1.77 in) tank cutter/hole saw Screwdrivers

Site requirements

The SeaTalk Remote Keypad must be installed: In a flat, smooth location. At least 230 mm (9 in) away from your vessels steering compass and 500 mm (20 in) from radio equipment. So there is sufficient space behind the facia to accommodate the cables, fixing studs and thumb nuts. If you intend siting the keypad next to an instrument or another keypad, make sure that they are separated by at least 3 mm to enable sun covers to be fitted, when required.

Drill the two 5 mm (3/16 in) fixing stud clearance holes (2). Cut out the 45 mm aperture (3), then remove the template. Remove any rough edges from the bulkhead. Peel off the protective sheet from the self-adhesive gasket (4) then stick the gasket into position on the rear of the instrument. 6. Screw the two fixing studs (1) into the keypad. 7 Offer up the assembled keypad, gasket and studs to the bulkhead, and plug the SeaTalk cables (6) into the back of the keypad as shown. 8. Fit the keypad to the bulkhead, by inserting the fixing studs (1) through the drilled holes (2) and securing with the thumb nuts (5). Tighten the thumb nuts BY HAND, until the keypad is secure. Do NOT use a wrench to tighten the nuts.

3.3 Check before going to sea
Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc. In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the equipment but can lead to it resetting, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.

Chapter 4: Setup

4.1 Introduction to instrument grouping
When a Remote Keypad is first installed, all instruments respond simultaneously to the Remote Keypad button presses. Although this simultaneous operation may be suitable for installations with a small number of instruments, in larger installations, it is often more convenient to organise instruments into groups. Once a Remote Keypad and instruments have been grouped, the up and down keys are used to select individual instruments. An instrument can then be operated remotely using the appropriate Remote Keypad buttons. You can create up to eight standard instrument and eight ST80 MaxiView instrument groups: Each group can have up to eight instruments. Each group must have at least one Remote Keypad grouped to it. Each Remote Keypad can only be grouped with one ST80 MaxiView and one standard instrument group. Each instrument in a group has a unique alphanumeric identity (e.g. A1, where A defines the group and 1 the instrument sequence number within the group). Standard instruments are assigned group letters from A to H. ST80 MaxiView instruments are assigned group letters from J to Q. Ungrouped instruments have a dash (-) in place of a group letter. The instrument sequence number range is from 1 to 8.
4.2 Grouping standard instruments
To define a group of standard (110 mm) instruments: 1. At any Remote Keypad, press and hold the lower and keys for 4 seconds. All the standard instruments will enter group setup mode, with the selected instrument showing a remote indication, as follows: On selected ST80 instruments, the display shows reverse video (white on black).
