GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO B&G NETWORK The B&G Network range of instruments is designed to be used as individual units or connected together to form an integrated navigational system. A single network cable is used to carry data and power between units. The latest technology and screened cables - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Network Quad User Manual - Page 3
INTRODUCTION TO NETWORK QUAD CONT'D The Network QUAD unit has three adjustable alarms: 1. Shallow water alarm 2. Deep water alarm 3. Anchor alarm An internal alarm buzzer will sound when an alarm condition is met and the display will flash. The alarm is broadcast to all other Network Instruments in - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Network Quad User Manual - Page 4
EXAMPLES SYSTEMS USING NETWORK QUAD Only one Network QUAD unit should have speed and depth sensors connected to it and set to transducer mode. Up to three more Network QUAD (set to repeater mode) or QUAD REPEATER units can be connected on to the system network. QUAD Main unit QUAD QUAD QUAD - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Network Quad User Manual - Page 5
SELECTING THE DISPLAY MODE The Network QUAD unit has two operating modes. The correct mode must be selected for your Network system to operate properly. tYPEt Transducer mode, the unit uses and displays speed and depth data from sensors connected directly into the display unit. tYPEr Repeater - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Network Quad User Manual - Page 6

SETTING THE DISPLAY DAMPING Damping allows the response time of the displayed speed value to be slowed down if it is to jumpy in rough weather, or to sped it up when the conditions are calm. The damping works by averaging the values over a set time period; the longer the time period the smoother the - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Network Quad User Manual - Page 9
SETTING THE SPEED AND LOG UNITS The Network QUAD can be set to display boat speed in Knots or MPH. If boat speed is in Knots then log is in Nautical Miles. If boat speed is in MPH then log is in Statute Miles. Press SPEED key to display current boat speed. Press SETUP key twice. The speed digits - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Network Quad User Manual - Page 10
and the boats hull characteristics. Three methods are available with the Network QUAD unit, two manual adjustments and one automatic: MANUAL CALIBRATION 1. CAL The displayed boat speed value is corrected manually to read a known measured speed. 2. LOG The units calibration figure (Hz/Knot) is CAL - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Network Quad User Manual - Page 11
METHOD 1. - MANUAL CALIBRATION - CAL This procedure requires a reference boat speed with which to compare the Network QUAD units displayed boat speed. For example, another boat with an - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Network Quad User Manual - Page 12
METHOD 2. - MANUAL CALIBRATION - LOG CAL If the log or boat speed is in error by a known percentage then this method allows the calibration figure or LOG CAL - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Network Quad User Manual - Page 13
METHOD 3. - AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION - AUTO CAL This procedure will automatically and accurately calibrate the boat speed and log and is the recommended method for most boats. NOTE: AUTO CAL can be aborted any time by pressing the SETUP key, then the SPEED key. • Select two markers that are easily - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Network Quad User Manual - Page 14

USING THE DEPTH KEY The current water depth is permanently displayed in the bottom LCD area in metres, feet or fathoms. The unit is factory set to metres. The depth displayed is from the depth datum, see DEPTH DATUM. Press the DEPTH key to cycle through the following options: CAL The Depth Datum - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Network Quad User Manual - Page 17
THE DEPTH DATUM - CAL The depth datum CAL is an offset calibration value used to determine the displayed information reference point. It is added to the actual measured water depth to display the depth from the waterline, the depth sensor (transducer) or the keel/outdrive depth. The Network QUAD - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Network Quad User Manual - Page 18
SETTING THE DEPTH DATUM CAL zero, depth from transducer. CAL positive, depth from waterline. CAL negative, depth from keel. NOTE: If the CAL LOCK is set then the CAL value cannot be changed. Consult your B&G dealer for further advice. Press DEPTH key to display depth datum CAL. Press SETUP key to - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Network Quad User Manual - Page 19
SETTING THE DEPTH UNITS The Network QUAD unit can be set to display depth in Metres, Feet or Fathoms. The selected units are used for displayed depth information on all Network instruments on the entire Network system. Press DEPTH key to display the current depth. Press SETUP key twice.
