Installation
General mounting guidelines
Warning: Do not install the unit in a hazardous/flammable atmosphere.
Ú Note: Choose a mounting location that will not expose the unit to conditions that exceed the technical specifications.
Mounting location This product generates heat which must be considered when choosing the mounting location. Ensure that the selected area allows for: · Cable routing, cable connection and cable support. · Connection and use of portable storage devices. · Viewing any LED indicators. · Easy access to serviceable parts.
Do also consider: · The free space around the unit to avoid overheating. · The mounting surface's structure and strength, with regard to the weight of the
equipment. · Any mounting surface vibration that might damage the equipment. · Hidden electrical wires that might be damaged when drilling holes.
Ventilation Inadequate ventilation and subsequent overheating of the unit may cause reduced performance and reduced service life. Ventilation behind units is recommended for all units which are not bracket mounted. Ensure that cables do not obstruct the airflow and that the ventilation holes are not blocked. Examples of enclosure ventilation options, in order of preference, are: · Positive pressure air from the vessel's air conditioning system. · Positive pressure air from local cooling fans (fan required at input, fan optional at outlet). · Passive airflow from air vents.
Electrical and radio frequency interference This unit conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations. To ensure that the EMC performance is not compromised, the following guidelines apply: · Separate battery used for the vessel engine. · Minimum 1 m (3 ft) between the device, the device's cables and any transmitting
equipment or cables with radio signals. · Minimum 2 m (7 ft) between the device, the device's cables and the SSB radio. · More than 2 m (7 ft) between the device, the device's cables and the radar beam.
Wi-Fi® It is important to test the Wi-Fi® performance before the location of the unit is decided. Construction material (steel, aluminum, or carbon) and heavy structure might affect Wi-Fi® performance. The following guidelines apply: · Select a location where there is a clear, direct line of sight between Wi-Fi® connected
units. · Keep the distance between Wi-Fi® units as short as possible. · Mount the Wi-Fi® unit at least 1 m (3 ft) away from:

Wiring
Connectors
Different models have different connectors. For available connectors and connector layout refer to "Connectors" on page 10.
Wiring guidelines
Don't: · Make sharp bends in the cables. · Run cables in a way that allows water to flow down into the connectors. · Run the data cables adjacent to radar, transmitter, or large/high current carrying cables or
high frequency signal cables. · Run cables so they interfere with mechanical systems. · Run cables over sharp edges or burrs.
Do: · Make drip and service loops. · Use cable-ties on all cables to keep them secure. · Solder/crimp and insulate all wiring connections if extending or shortening the cables.
Extending cables should be done with suitable crimp connectors or solder and heat shrink. Keep joins as high as possible to minimize possibility of water immersion. · Leave room adjacent to connectors to ease plugging and unplugging of cables.
Warning: Before starting the installation, be sure to turn electrical power off. If power is left on or turned on during the installation, fire, electrical shock, or other serious injury may occur. Be sure that the voltage of the power supply is compatible with the unit.

Adjust antenna height Set the radar scanner height relative to the water surface. The Radar uses this value to calculate the correct STC settings.
Select antenna length Select the proper antenna length.
Adjust range offset The radar sweep should commence at your vessel (a radar range of zero). You may need to adjust the radar range offset to achieve this. If this is set incorrectly, a large dark circle in the center of the sweep might occur. You might notice straight objects such as straight sea walls or piers having curves or an indentation. Objects close to your vessel may appear pulled in or pushed out. Adjust the range offset as below when the vessel is about 45 to 90 m (50 to 100 yards) from a straight-walled jetty or similar feature that produces a straight line echo on the display.
1 Position the vessel in relation to the jetty. 2 Adjust the range offset to make the jetty echo appear as a straight line on the
display.

System setup | NSS evo3S Installation Manual

Adjust bearing alignment This option is used to align the heading marker on the screen with the center line of the vessel. This will compensate for any slight misalignment of the scanner during installation. Misalignment that is not corrected for will compromise target tracking and can result in dangerous misinterpretation of potential navigation hazards. Any inaccuracy will be evident when using MARPA or chart overlay.
1 Point the vessel towards a stationary isolated object, or towards a far range AIS where the AIS icon matches the radar echo
2 Adjust the coarse and fine bearing alignment so that the heading line touches the end of the selected object
Sidelobe suppression Occasionally false target returns can occur adjacent to strong target returns such as large ships or container ports. This occurs because not all of the transmitted radar energy can be focused into a single beam by the radar antenna, a small amount of energy is transmitted in other directions. This energy is referred to as sidelobe energy and occurs in all radar systems. The returns caused by sidelobes tend to appear as arcs.
Ú Note: This control should only be adjusted by experienced radar users. Target loss in harbor environments may occur if this control is not adjusted correctly.
When the radar is mounted where there are metallic objects near the radar, sidelobe energy increases because the beam focus is degraded. The increased sidelobe returns can be eliminated using the sidelobe suppression control. By default, this control is set to auto and normally should not need to be adjusted. However, if there is significant metallic clutter around the radar, sidelobe suppression may need to be increased. To adjust the sidelobe suppression value: 1. Set radar range to between 1/2 nm to 1 nm and the sidelobe suppression to auto 2. Take the vessel to a location where sidelobe returns are likely to be seen. Typically, this
would be near a large ship, container port, or metal bridge. 3. Traverse the area until the strongest sidelobe returns are seen. 4. Change auto sidelobe suppression to OFF, then adjust the sidelobe suppression control
just enough to eliminate the sidelobe returns. You may need to monitor 5-10 radar sweeps to be sure they have been eliminated. 5. Traverse the area again and readjust if sidelobes returns still occur.
Sector blanking Radar installed in close proximity to a mast or structure could cause unwanted reflections or interference to appear on the radar image. Use the sector blanking feature to stop the radar from transmitting on up to four sectors in the image.
Ú Note: Sectors are setup relative to the heading line of the radar. The bearing of the sector is measured from the center line of the sector.
Ú Note: Sector blanking should be applied very carefully to avoid reducing the radar's usefulness in identifying valid and potentially dangerous targets.

Adjust open array park angle The park angle is the final resting position of the antenna relative to the heading line of the radar when the radar is set to standby. The antenna will stop rotating at the desired offset.
Adjust local interference reject Interference from some onboard sources can interfere with the Broadband radar. One symptom of this could be a large target on the screen that remains in the same relative bearing even if the vessel changes direction.
Halo light Controls the levels of the Halo Radar blue accent lighting. The accent lighting can only be adjusted when the radar is in standby mode. Ú Note: The blue accent pedestal lighting might not be approved for use in your boating
location. Check your local boating regulations before turning the blue accent lights ON.
Tune The automatic tuning will work well in most installations. The manual tuning is used if it is required to adjust the result from an automatic tuning.
Reset radar to factory defaults Clears all user and installer settings applied to the selected radar source, and restores factory settings. Ú Note: Use this option with caution. Take note of current settings first, especially those set
by the operator if radar has already been in active service.
Echosounder settings

Internal echosounder CH1 and CH2 When selected, the internal echosounder channel is available for selection in the echosounder panel menu.
When unselected, this option disables the internal echosounder channel in the unit. It will not be listed as an echosounder source for any unit on the network. Unselect this option for channels with no transducer connected.

System setup | NSS evo3S Installation Manual

Network Echosounder Select to share transducers from this unit with other units connected on the Ethernet network. In addition, the setting must be selected in order to see other enabled sonar devices on the network. When unselected, transducers connected to this unit cannot be shared with other units connected on the network, nor can it see other sources on the network that have this feature enabled.
Network echosounder mode The network echosounder mode setting selects whether only one or multiple echosounder sources can be selected at the same time. Ú Note: Single source is automatically selected if there are older legacy echosounders on
the network. You cannot change this setting if older legacy echosounders are on the network. Multi-source mode should be selected if no legacy echosounder is connected to the network. Ú Note: When changing the mode to multi-source you must wait 30 seconds and then power down all sources for. Wait 1 minute, then restart all connected sources.
Structure depth offset All transducers measure water depth from the transducer to the bottom. As a result, water depth readings do not account for the distance from the transducer to the lowest point of the boat in the water or from the transducer to the water surface.

· To show the depth from the lowest point of the vessel to the bottom, set the offset equal to the vertical distance between the transducer and the lowest part of the vessel, A (negative value).
· To show the depth from the water surface to the bottom, set the offset equal to the vertical distance between the transducer and the water surface, B (positive value)
· For depth below transducer, set the offset to 0.
Water speed calibration Water speed calibration is used to adjust the speed value from the paddle wheel to match the actual boat speed through the water. Actual speed can be determined from GPS speed over ground (SOG) or by timing the boat over a known distance. Water speed calibration should be performed in calm conditions, with minimal wind and current movement.
Increase this value above 100 % if the paddle wheel is under reading, and decrease this value if it is over reading. For example, if the average water speed reads 8.5 knots (9.8 MPH) and SOG records 10 knots (11.5 MPH) the calibration value needs to be increased to 117 %. To calculate the adjustment, divide the SOG by the paddlewheel speed, and multiply the product by 100.

System setup | NSS evo3S Installation Manual

Calibration range: 50-200 %. Default is 100 %.
Water speed averaging Averages water speed by measuring your speed at a selected interval of time. Water speed intervals range from one to thirty seconds. For example if you select five seconds, your displayed water speed will be based on averaging over 5 seconds of sampling. Calibration range: 1-30 seconds. Default is 1 second.
Water temperature calibration Temperature calibration is used to adjust the water temperature value from the sonar transducer. It may be required to correct for localized influences to the measured temperature. Calibration range: -9.9° - +9.9°. Default is 0°. Ú Note: Water temperature calibration only appears if the transducer is temperature
capable.
Transducer type Ú Note: The transducer type is automatically set for transducers that support Transducer ID
(XID) and is not user selectable.
Transducer type is used for selecting the transducer model connected to the sonar module. The transducer selected will determine what frequencies the user can select during sonar operation. In some transducers with built-in temperature sensors, the temperature reading may be inaccurate or not available at all if the wrong transducer is selected. Transducer temperature sensors are one of two impedances - 5k or 10k. Where both options are given for the same model transducer, refer to paperwork supplied with transducer to determine impedance.
Restore echosounder defaults Restore echosounder settings to the factory supplied defaults.
ForwardScan installation Available when a ForwardScan transducer is connected. For setup information, refer to the Operator Manual.
Autopilot settings
The Autopilot settings dialog depends on which autopilot computer that is connected to the system. If more than one autopilot is connected, the Autopilot settings dialog shows option for the active autopilot. The autopilot settings can be split between settings done by the user, and settings done during installation and commissioning of the autopilot system. · User settings can be changed for various operational conditions or user preferences. · Installation settings are defined during commissioning of the autopilot system. No
changes should later be done to these settings.
The following sections describe the installation settings per autopilot computer. For user settings, refer to the Operator manual.
NAC-1 specific installation settings

Commissioning Used to calibrate your boat's steering (cable steer or hydraulic steering) with the NAC-1.

System setup | NSS evo3S Installation Manual

Ú Note: The autopilot must be commissioned prior to first use and any time after autopilot default settings have been restored.
Cable steer calibration Ú Note: The rudder source must be set to rudder feedback to be able to run this
calibration
Start the calibration process by selecting the rudder feedback calibration option, and follow the onscreen instructions. Ú Note: When centering the motor during the calibration process, ensure that the motor is
centered visually when the dialog shows 0 value. If not, center the motor visually before pressing OK to align the physical position with the dialog value.
When the calibration process is completed, select the rudder test option to confirm the calibration. If the calibration does not pass the rudder test: · confirm that motor is moving · confirm that the rudder feedback reading moves according to motor rotation · check the NAC-1 drive cable · confirm that the motor can be manually moved smoothly in each direction · check for other mechanical issues · check wiring connections · repeat the rudder calibration.
Hydraulic system calibration Virtual rudder feedback (VRF) calibration is used for vessels with hydraulic steering when no rudder feedback is available. Ú Note: The rudder source must be set to VRF to be able to run this calibration.
Start the calibration process by selecting the VRF calibration option, and follow the onscreen instructions. Ú Note: When the autopilot attempts to turn the motor during the calibration process,
ensure that the motor movement is noticeable and that the motor is turning in the correct direction before selecting Yes on the dialog. When No is selected, the NAC-1 reverses direction and increases power the next time it turns the motor during the calibration process. Ú Note: You may have to select No more than once to ensure the pump provides enough power to turn the motor at high boat speed.
Steering response Used to increase or decrease the steering sensitivity. A low response level reduces the rudder activity and provides a more loose steering. A high response level increases the rudder activity and provides more tight steering. A too high response level will cause the boat to make S movements.
NAC-2/NAC-3 specific installation settings For setup and commissioning of the NAC-2 or NAC-3, refer to the commissioning manual included with the autopilot computer.
AC70/AC80 Specific installation settings The AC70/AC80 computers do not have any specific installation settings available in the MFD. Ú Note: The MFD cannot be used to configure or commission an AP70/AP80 system. For
more information, refer to the documentation included with the autopilot system.

Fuel settings
The fuel utility monitors a vessel's fuel consumption. This information is totaled to indicate trip and seasonal fuel usage, and is used to calculate fuel economy for display on instrument pages and the data bar. To use the utility, a Navico Fuel Flow sensor, or a NMEA 2000® engine adaptor cable/gateway with Navico Fuel Data Storage device must be fitted to the vessel. The Navico Fuel Flow sensor does not require the use of a separate Fuel Storage device. Refer to the engine manufacturer or dealer for information on whether or not your engine provides a data output, and what adaptor is available to connect to NMEA 2000®. Once the physical connection is made, ensure source selection is completed. Multiple engine installations using Fuel Flow sensors, or Fuel Data Storage devices, require setup of related engine location in the Device list. For general source selection information, refer to "Network settings" on page 37.
Vessel setup The Vessel setup dialog must be used to select the number of engines, the number of tanks and vessel's total fuel capacity across all tanks.

Fuel remaining measurement The Fuel remaining measurement can be determined from fuel used by engine(s), or fuel level from tank sensors. Nominal fuel consumption is required to set the scale on the fuel economy gauge. This value should be determined from experience, over time. Alternatively the boat builder or designer may be able to give an approximate value to use.
Ú Note: Fuel remaining measurement taken from level sensors while underway can get inaccurate readings due to vessel movement.
Ú Note: Nominal fuel consumption setting should be determined taking into account typical vessel loads. That is, filled fuel and water tanks, stowed tender, supplies, etc.
Fuel flow configuration After the number of engines is set, it is required to set which fuel flow sensor is connected to which engine. Under Device list on the Network page, view the Device Configuration dialog for each sensor, and set the Location to match the engine the device is connected to. Unconfigure - defaults the device which clears all user settings. Reset Fuel Flow - restores only the Fuel K-Value setting, if set in Calibrate. Only Navico devices can be reset.

System setup | NSS evo3S Installation Manual

Calibrate Calibration may be required to accurately match measured flow with actual fuel flow. Access calibration from the Refuel dialog. Calibration is only possible on Navico's Fuel Flow sensor. 1. Start with a full tank and run the engine as it would normally be operated. 2. After at least several liters (a few gallons) have been used, the tank should be fully refilled,
and the Set to full option selected. 3. Select the Calibrate option. 4. Set the actual amount used based on amount of fuel added to the tank. 5. Select OK to save settings. The Fuel K-Value should now show a new value.
Ú Note: To calibrate multiple engines repeat the steps above, one engine at a time. Alternatively, run all engines simultaneously, and divide the Actual amount used by the number of engines. This assumes reasonably even fuel consumption on all engines.
Ú Note: The Calibrate option is only available when Set to full is selected, and a Fuel Flow is connected and set up as a source.
Ú Note: A maximum of 8 engines is supported using Fuel Flow sensors.
Fuel Level With the use of a Navico Fluid Level device connected to a suitable tank level sensor, it is possible to measure the amount of fuel remaining in any equipped tank. The number of tanks must be set in Vessel Setup dialog, initiated from the Fuel setting options page, to allow discrete tank assignment of the Fluid Level devices. Select Device list on the Network page, and view the Device Configuration dialog for each sensor, and set the Tank location, Fluid type, and Tank size. For setting up the Instrument bar or a gauge on the Instrument page with Fluid Level device data, refer to the Operator Manual.
Ú Note: A maximum of 5 tanks is supported using Fluid Level devices.
Ú Note: Tank data that is output by a compatible engine gateway can also be displayed, however tank configuration for such a data source is not possible from this unit.

Network settings
Device name Assigning a name is useful in systems using more than one device of the same type and size. Sources Data sources provide live data to the system. When a device is connected to more than one source providing the same data, the user can choose the preferred source. Before commencing with source selection make sure all external devices and networks are connected and turned on.

Auto Select The Auto Select option looks for all sources connected to the device. If more than one source is available for each data type, selection is made from an internal priority list. This option is suitable for the majority of installations.
Manual source selection Manual selection is generally only required where there is more than one source for the same data, and the automatically selected source is not the one desired.

Group source selection The unit can use the same data sources that all other products on the network use, or alternatively use a data source independently from other units.
If the unit is part of a source group, all source selection changes will affect all units belonging to the same group.

System setup | NSS evo3S Installation Manual

Ú Note: In order to enable group selection, the unit must be set to the Simrad group. Devices with no selected group can use different sources than the rest of the network devices.
Advanced source selection This allows the most flexible and precise manual control over which devices provide data. Occasionally auto select might not assign the desired source, which can be corrected using the advanced source selection.
Device list Selecting a device in this list will bring up additional details and options for the device. All devices allow allocation of an instance number in the configure option. Set unique instance numbers on any identical devices on the network to allow the unit to distinguish between them. The data option shows all data being output by the device. Ú Note: In most cases, setting the instance number on a 3rd party product is not possible.
Diagnostics Provides information useful for identifying an issue with the network.
NMEA 2000® Provides information on NMEA 2000®-bus activity. Ú Note: The following information might not always indicate an issue that can be simply
resolved with minor adjustment to network layout or connected devices and their activity on the network. However, Rx and Tx errors are most likely indicating issues with the physical network, which can be resolved by correcting termination, reducing backbone or drop lengths, or reducing the number of network nodes (devices).
UDB Provides information on Ethernet activity.
SimNet groups This function is used to control parameter settings, either globally or in groups of units. The function is used on larger vessels where several units are connected via a network. By assigning several units to the same group, a parameter update on one unit will have the same effect on the rest of the group members. If any of the settings require discrete control, set the group to None.
Damping If data appears erratic or too sensitive, damping may be applied to make the information appear more stable. With damping set to off, the data is presented in raw form with no damping applied.
Calibration An offset (positive or negative) can be applied to correct data inaccuracies from NMEA 2000® sources. The offset is set on the NMEA 2000® device.
Ú Note: Select the advanced option to adjust local offsets for this display only. Ú Note: It is typically not possible to calibrate 3rd party sensors. However, a local offset can
be applied.
NMEA 2000® setup
Receive waypoint Allows waypoints to be received from devices that transmit a waypoint over the NMEA 2000®.

System setup | NSS evo3S Installation Manual

A waypoint will be received when the waypoint is created on the other device, if the following settings are in place: · The receiving device - the receive waypoint option must be set to ON before the
waypoint is created in the sending device. · The sending device - the send waypoint option must be set to ON before the waypoint is
created.
Send waypoint Allows this unit to send a waypoint to other devices over the NMEA 2000® network. A waypoint will be transmitted when the waypoint is created, if the following settings are in place: · The sending device - the send waypoint option must be set to ON before the waypoint is
created. · The receiving device - the receive waypoint option must be set to ON before the
waypoint is created in the sending device.
Ú Note: The system can only transmit or receive one waypoint at a time over the NMEA 2000® network. For bulk import or export of waypoints see the operator manual.
NMEA 0183® setup The NMEA 0183® port(s) must be set to suit the speed of connected devices, and can be configured to output only the sentences required by listening devices.
Receive waypoint Select this option to allow a device capable of creating and exporting waypoints via NMEA 0183® to transfer directly to this unit.
Baud rate This should be set to correspond with devices connected to the NMEA 0183® input and output. The input and output (Tx, Rx) use the same baud rate setting. Ú Note: AIS transponders typically operate at NMEA 0183®-HS (high speed), and will
require the baud rate to be set to 38,400.
Serial output Selection determines whether the data is output via Tx lines, and will enable editing of the output sentences list.
Selected output sentences This list allows control over which sentences that are transmitted to other devices from the NMEA 0183® port. Due to the limited bandwidth of NMEA 0183® it is desirable to only enable the data that is required. The less sentences that are selected, the higher the output rate of the enabled sentences.
Ethernet/Wi-Fi® The NMEA 0183® data stream is output and made available to tablet devices and PCs, via WiFi® or Ethernet connection. The dialogue provides IP and port data typically required for configuring the application on the third party device. Ú Note: Other MFDs cannot decode this information back to NMEA 0183®, to use the data
as a source. To share data a physical NMEA 2000® or NMEA 0183® connection is still required.

CZone® setup

In order to communicate with the CZone® modules connected to the network, the unit must be assigned a unique CZone® Display Dipswitch setting. The functionality of the CZone® system is determined by the CZone® Config File which is stored on all CZone® modules and the NSS evo3S. The file is created using the CZone® Configuration Tool, a specialized PC application available from BEP Marine Ltd, and associated CZone® distributors. For more information, refer to the documentation provided with your CZone® system.
Assigning the dipswitch setting Every product capable of controlling and viewing CZone® devices must be assigned a virtual dipswitch setting. This setting is unique for each device. Typically it is set after the configuration file already exists on the CZone® system, but it may also be set in advance. To do so, access the CZone® menu on the Settings page. When the configuration is already available on the network, it will immediately commence uploading to the NSS evo3S once the dipswitch is set. Allow this to complete, without interruption.
Setting CZone® to display at startup With this option selected, the CZone® control page is shown first, every time the NSS evo3S is powered up.
Backlight Enabling this causes the NSS evo3S to synchronize its backlight setting with that of any CZone® Display Interfaces set up to share backlight settings.
Ú Note: CZone® Config also needs to have the NSS evo3S set as a controller.
