MFD Network Installation
-
Connect all TZtouch3 MFDs to the Ethernet Network. If a HUB101 is used, set the internal HUB101 DIP switches to OFF (HUB101 DIP Switches are OFF by Default). Please see Appendix for more detailed information.
-
Connect all TZtouch3 MFDs to a proper NMEA2000 backbone using drop cables (18 feet or less).
Note: TZtouch3 MFDs do not have an internal terminating resistor that can be switched ON or OFF. All connections to the NMEA2000 backbone must be “drop” connections (18 feet or less). -
Power ON the Ethernet HUB/Switch, NMEA2000 backbone, sensors, then start the
TZtouch3 MFDs.
Pick one TZtouch3 MFD as the Chart Master and select “ON” for “Chart Master Device” setting from the “Initial Setup” menu. You will notice that a System ID is generated on the TZT3 that is designated as the Chart Master and all other TZT3(s) on the network will assume the same exact System ID. The MFD that you pick to be the Chart Master should be a unit that is always turned ON and left ON during operation. However, if you are adding TZT3 MFD(s) to an existing TZT2 network that has pay for charts unlocked you will leave the “Chart Master Device” setting OFF on the TZT3 MFD(s) because the TZT3 MFD(s) will assume the System ID of the current TZT2 Chart Master. -
If chart unlock code(s) have been purchased for the Chart Master’s System ID, you can enter unlock code(s) to unlock your purchased charts. On the Home page you can select “Chart” and press on “Insert Unlock Code” on the top of the page and enter the unlock code(s) when prompted. Note, unlock codes are hexadecimal so you will never have the letter “O” only the number zero “0”.
-
If a Sirius Satellite Weather Receiver is installed (BBWX4), set the “Weather Data Server” to “Sirius” from the “Weather” menu.
-
Once the TZtouch3 MFDs have started, press the “Home” button, select “Menu” on each MFD to confirm that you see both a “Radar” and “Fish Finder” menu as well as confirm the “Radar Source” and “Fish Finder Source” is set appropriately (assuming you have both a Network Fish Finder and Radar connected to the Ethernet Network).
- Confirm all Ethernet and NMEA2000 devices are detected by pressing the “Sensor List” button in the “Initial Setup” menu. All detected devices are bright white, while devices that are no longer seen will be lighter grey (Press “Reset” button on top right of the screen to refresh list). Take the time ensure there are no Instancing Conflicts. Device Instances can be edited by pressing on Keyboard Icon. Any sensor that outputs the same information should have a different Instance Number (Priority). For example, if you have a PG700 and an SCX20 on the NMEA2000 backbone, set the Instance Number of the SCX20 to (0) and the PG700 to (1). Zero (0) is the lowest number and is the higher priority.
- If you are missing the option to select your Network Fish Finder model as the “Fish Finder Source” under the “Fish Finder” menu, make sure that the DFF1/BBDS1/DFF3/DFF1-UHD Network Fish Finder DIP Switch/Mode Switch settings are correct and that you see good traffic on the Ethernet port (blinking green light). See Appendix for more detailed information.
- If you are missing the Radar menu and your Radar was/is an original NavNet 3D DRS2D, DRS4D,DRS4A,DRS12A or DRS25A ensure light on the PSU (depending on the model of DRS, either a PSU017, PSU012 or PSU013.) is on, if not ensure Jumper is inserted to bypass Power Synch in PSU012 or PSU013. If power supply is on and still no communication with DRS Radar, ensure DRS software was updated to 1.16 or higher. Please see Appendix for more detailed information.
Note: there is no need to restart the TZT3 MFDs to have the Network Fish Finder and/or Radar appear in the menu. As soon as the Radar or Network Fish Finder are detected on the network, they will automatically update and appear in real time.
-
Select the “Radar” menu and the select your Radar model number under “Radar Source”. Scroll down to the “Radar Initial Setup” to adjust, at minimum the following parameters:
- Heading Alignment
- Antenna Height
-
the Home screen. If not, ensure you have connected the Fusion radio via (Ethernet)
(TZT3 MFD software lower than version 2 must interface via Ethernet). Or connected via NMEA2000 (TZT3 with software version 2 or higher) and have followed our instructions on furunousa.com concerning the integration of Fusion radio(s). Click on the following link to access Fusion Link information. Fusion Link Setup -
If you have Axis IP Cameras or Axis Video Servers but you do not have the option to select them as a video source or, you only see a “Video Decoding Error” message on the screen for the video source that is selected. Ensure you have set them up correctly as per our documentation. Click on the following link to for detailed information. AXIS IP Camera and Video Server Setup
-
If you have a CZONE interface but you notice you do not have CZONE as an option under “Graphic Instrument Setup” found in the “Initial Setup” menu. Ensure you have set up the interface correctly per our documentation. Click on the following link to for detailed information. CZONE Setup
-
If you have NMEA2000 engine interface(s), initiate the automatic engine setup option by selecting “Engine and Tank Automatic Setup” found under the “Initial Setup” menu.
-
If you have an SCX20 and/or SC33 use the “Network Sensor Setup” menu found under “Initial Setup” to perform installation settings, adjustments, offsets, change NMEA2000 output settings, and self-tests as needed.
-
Select the NMEA2000 PGNs that you want to output on the NMEA2000 backbone from the “PGN Output” button of the “Initial Setup” menu.
Note: The PGN output configuration is a global setting to the system (the PGN output settings are shared among all the TZtouch3 MFDs). -
However, only one MFD will output data on the NMEA2000 bus (the one that was first powered ON). If that MFD is turned OFF or fails, another TZtouch3 MFD will automatically replace it and start outputting the same PGNs onto the NMEA2000 backbone. Do not turn on every PGN. Only turn on the PGN(s) that are needed for other pieces of equipment on the NMEA2000 network. If you have an Autopilot connected, you will normally turn on PGN 129025,026,029,033,283,284 and 129285. Select the “Preferred” data/sensor sources for the network by pressing the “Data Source” button in the “Initial Setup” menu.
-
Select your preferred units of measurement such as Foot, Meters, Celsius, Fahrenheit, etc. from the “Units” menu.
-
Ensure that you have set the appropriate “Local Time Offset” value under the “General” menu or the time displayed will be incorrect.
Mixed TZtouch2 and TZtouch3 Network Installations
- TZtouch2 MFD(s) must have software version 7.0 or higher.
If you have a TZT3(s) mixed network with TZT2(s), one TZT2 will be a Chart Master. If there is an existing TZT2 Chart Master, leave it as the Chart Master. You will notice the TZT3 will assume the System ID of the master TZT2 in the network. The MFD that you pick to be the Chart Master should be a unit that is always turned on and left on.
Recommended Customizations
-
You can set parameters for Tracks under the “Ship & Track” menu. Typically, the “Track Interval” is either set for “Time” or “Distance” however, there are other options to further customize how you record Track data. For example, setting Variable Color changes for Depth, Depth Variation, SST Range (Sea Surface Temperature), SST Variation, Bottom Discrimination, Trip, Day of the Week and Speed.
