Introduction

Overview
The S5100 is a networked triple CHIRP module including 3 independent sonar channels. This allows for simultaneous use of High, Medium and Low CHIRP, and for dual independent ranges on a single screen. In addition, each frequency range can be viewed on connected MFDs in the network.
The module is compatible with a variety of Navico’s Multi-Function Displays (MFDs). See more details on the S5100 website on www.simrad- yachting.com.

Installation

Mounting location
Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut.
For overall width and height requirements, refer to “Dimensional drawings” on page 18.
Do not mount any part where it can be used as a hand hold, where it might be submerged, or where it will interfere with the operation, launching, or retrieving of the boat.
The unit should be mounted so that the operator can easily see the LED status indicators. Check that it is possible to route cables to the intended mounting location.
Leave sufficient clearance to connect all relevant cables.
The unit can be mounted on a horizontal or on a vertical surface. Create drip loops when the unit is mounted on a vertical surface with connections exiting upwards.

Before cutting a hole in a panel, make sure that there are no hidden electrical wires or other parts behind the panel.
Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in doubt, consult a qualified boat builder, or marine electronics installer.
⇒ Note: Where flush mounted, the enclosure should be dry and well ventilated. In small enclosures, it may be required to fit forced cooling.

Warning: Inadequate ventilation and subsequent overheating of the unit may cause unreliable operation and reduced service life. Exposing the unit to conditions that exceeds the specifications could invalidate your warranty. – refer to “Technical specifications” on page 17.
Transducer installation
For transducer installation information, refer to separate installation instructions included with the transducer.

Wiring

Guidelines
Don’t:

• make sharp cable bends
• 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 this:

• make drip and service loops

• use cable-tie 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. Protect joints from water, humidity and otherwise corrosive environments

• leave enough space for connecting and disconnecting 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.
Warning: The positive supply wire (red) should always be connected to (+) DC with a fuse or a circuit breaker.

Grounding the unit
For additional safety, install grounding cable in ground screw hole as indicated on the illustration. Recommended 16 awg wire.

Power connection
The unit is designed to be powered by a 12 or 24 V DC system. It is protected against reverse polarity, under voltage and over voltage (for a limited duration).

Power control
The unit has no power key and will turn on when power is applied.
If the unit is connected directly to the vessel’s battery, the module will continue to draw power even when it is not in operation. It is recommended that the yellow power cable wire be fitted with an optional on/off switch, allowing the unit to be powered off when not in use.

Some MFD systems can be configured for power control. When the S5100 is used in such systems it is recommended to connect the unit to the power control bus and set the MFD to power control master. Refer to your MFD documentation for more information.

Connecting the S5100 to MFD systems
The S5100 connects to your MFD system over the Ethernet network.

The illustration shows:

• how the S5100 connects to a single MFD (A), and how MFDs with two Ethernet connectors can daisy chain (B) to share sonar data
• how sonar data from the S5100 can be shared by connecting the MFDs via a network expansion port (C)

Transducer connection

Warning: Removing the transducer cables from the S5100 while the module is powered on can cause sparks that can damage the S5100 transmitter as well as the transducers. Remove the transducer cables only after the module has been disconnected from its power source.

Transducers with 9 pin connector
Up to three 9 pin transducers can be connected directly to any of the sonar channels on the S5100.
One 9 pin transcuder can be connected to the remaining open channel after a dual connector transducer has been attached.
Transducers with 7 pin connector
Transducers with a blue 7 pin connector must be connected to S5100 by using the 7-9 adapter cable.
The adapter cable connects to any of the sonar channels.
Transducers with bare wires
Transducers with bare wires must be connected to the S5100 via the optional Junction box (A) (part number 000-13262-001).
The Junction box cable connects to the sonar channels as follows:

• single frequency transducers: to any of the sonar channels
• dual frequency transducers: to Channel-1 and Channel-2, or to Channel-2 and Channel-3 as described in “Transducers with two connectors” on page 13

Detailed installation description and wiring diagram is included with the junction box.

Transducers with two connectors
When using transducers with two connectors:

• connect the high frequency element connector (A) to the Channel-1 or Channel-2 plug
• connect the low frequency element connector (B) to the plug to the immediate right of the plug used for the high frequency connector.

Troubleshooting

LED indicators
5 LEDs on the unit’s cover indicate status for the S5100, for the network and for connected transducers.

Power LED

• OFF
  – No power connection

• Check power and power cable

• Check yellow wire

• ON – Red
  – System starting

• ON – Green
  – System operational

• FLASHING – Red/Green
  – Software error or unit reprogrammed

• Restart the unit

• If still not ok, contact Customer Support

Network LED

• OFF
  – No Ethernet connection

• Check cable

• ON – Green
  – Ethernet connected and ok

Sonar LEDs

• OFF
  – Transducer not connected

• FLASHING every 0.5 second – Red
  – Initializing transmitter

• FLASHING every second – Green
  – Searching for bottom signal

• ON – Green
  – System operational

Maintenance

Preventive maintenance
The unit does not contain any field serviceable components. Therefore, the operator is required to perform only a very limited amount of preventative maintenance.
Checking the connectors
The connectors should be checked by visual inspection only. Push the connector plugs into the connector. If the connector plugs are equipped with a lock, ensure that it is in the correct position.
Software update
Software updates are available at: www.simrad-yachting.com 
The software can be updated from a compatible display unit. To update the software from the display unit, refer to the display unit documentation.
