mn100 Digital Display uu034 rev. 8 mn100 Digital Display EMC Conformance All Tacktick equipment is designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment. The design and manufacture of Tacktick equipment conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards. Correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Important Due to the wireless communication systems used in Micronet instruments they are only recommended for use on boats up to 14 meters (45 ft.) which are of glass, carbon, or wooden construction. Like any other Electronic instruments your Micronet system is designed to serve only as an aid to navigation and it remains the skippers responsibility to maintain a permanent watch and be aware of developing situations. mn100 Digital Display 36 Warranty Information Tacktick Limited or its authorized Distributors will repair or replace a Tacktick product free of charge where a manufacturing fault becomes apparent within two years of the purchase date provided: 1.

Although feature packed and highly visible in all conditions, current demand is so low, and the supply so efficient, that the solar-powered display is self sufficient. Combined with other instruments in the Micronet range this display becomes part of a complete navigational system. 1.2 Specifications Height of digits: 38mm (1.5”) Backlighting: 3 levels with daylight shutoff System-wide or local control Power: Solar Powered 300 hrs autonomy by day, 7 nights at brightest backlighting, 20 nights at economy backlighting without charge Units of display: Boat Speed (knots, kilometers per hour, statute miles per hour) Distance (nautical miles, statute miles, kilometers) Depth (meters, feet, fathoms) Wind Speed (knots, meters per second, Beaufort) Alarm: Audible Alarm for Depth, Wind and MOB Weight: 285g (0.63lbs) Operating Temp.: -100 to +600C (140 to 1400F) Frequency: 868 MHz or 905 MHz 1.3 Power Management and Battery Life What makes your mn100 instrument possible is Tacktick’s revolutionary approach to power management. By reducing the amount of power being used by the electronics and maximizing the potential of the sun to provide power, a mn100 instrument becomes a virtually perpetual device. Power status is indicated by two icons on the instrument display: Battery Level and Charge Rate Used together these icons will show the condition of your instrument’s power supply.

Tacktick Limited T110 Digital Operational Description Introduction This document is to be read in conjunction with the ‘Tacktick Limited T110 Digital Block Diagram’. The functionality of each block shown on the diagram is expanded in this document. Microprocessor This device stores the operating software in its on board flash and system data in its on board RAM. The software controls the operation of the T110 Digital Display. The software can be upgraded in circuit by connecting the programming port to a PC running the appropriate development environment. The microprocessor uses a precision voltage reference against which to measure inputs through its built in 8 channel ADC. An external supervisor chip is used to ensure that the microprocessor is reset if it fails to produce a periodic strobe signal. Batteries and Recharging Circuit The unit runs from three internal, rechargeable lithium coin cells. These cells can be recharged using either the integral solar cell or by applying an external voltage to pins on the reverse of the unit. Recharging from an external supply is performed under software control. Backlight Circuitry The display and keys on the unit are backlit using LEDs. The microprocessor provides a PWM waveform to the backlighting circuit. The illumination level used is determined by the user. Key Drive and Read Circuitry The unit has 4 keys. The circuitry for these keys is driven by the microprocessor and the corresponding key read signals are decoded by the microprocessor. Buzzer Drive Circuitry The buzzer drive circuit is driven by a PWM output from the microprocessor. LCD Drivers and Display and Associated Interface Circuitry The LCD drivers and display are driven from a different voltage to the microprocessor circuitry, therefore an interface circuit is required to connect the two circuit blocks. A closed loop controller run by the microprocessor regulates the LCD voltage rail. The microprocessor outputs the control and data signals required by the LCD drivers. Radio Transceiver Circuit and PCB Antenna The unit communicates with other units in the network across a wireless data link. The microprocessor sends configuration sentences to the radio transceiver chip. The data link between the microprocessor and the radio chip is half duplex. The RF signals are transmitted / received using a PCB track antenna.

Identification Of Equipment Under Test (EUT) Brand Name: Micronet mn100 Model Name or Number: T110 Digital Display Serial Number: 0401/00062 (for sample used to perform transmit measurements) 0401/00061 (for sample used to perform receive measurements) FCC ID RX9-T110-916 Country of Manufacture: UK Date of Receipt: 29 January 2004 2.2. Description Of EUT The equipment under test is a low power radio networked leisure marine instrumentation display unit. 2.3. Modifications Incorporated In EUT For the purposes of testing only (i.e. to allow testing of transmitter parameters to be performed), a sample of the EUT was software modified to increase the ‘transmit on’ time to 250 mS every second from the normal (and very low) operating mode duty cycle ‘transmit on’ time. Additionally the EUT was modified to provide a direct connection point to the internal 3V rails (post charging circuit) for an external 3V DC power supply. This was necessary to allow the EUT to operate at this increased transmission rate as the internal battery supply (which is recharged by solar panels) is not rated for this extended transmission rate and would discharge very quickly i.e. the EUT would no longer operate in this test mode.
