Display Screens: Overview

Home Screen & Menu

1. When 24 VDC power is applied to the Seakeeper, the display will power up and initialize. The Splash Screen will be displayed.

2. After the display has initialized, the Home Screen will be displayed.

3. The display uses a touch screen to allow users to select functions.

4. When the menu button is pressed, the menu bar will appear or disappear at the bottom of the screen.

5. The menu bar is used to navigate between pages. From left to right, the available pages are home, settings, information, service and alarm history. The selected page is highlighted in blue on the menu bar.

Settings Page

The Settings Page allows the user to adjust their preferences for the display. It can be accessed by pressing the gears in the menu bar.

1. To increase or decrease the brightness of the display, slide the white dot left to decrease brightness and right to increase brightness on the brightness bar, pictured below on the Settings Page.

2. Adjust the sleep timer from 1 minutes to 60 minutes or on all of the time using sleep time slider. Touching the screen will wake the display up after it has gone to sleep.

3. Change the sign of the roll angle value displayed in the roll angle gauge so the gauge matches the motion of the boat. This will depend on installation orientation and will only need to be adjusted once. If the Seakeeper is facing the bow of the vessel, the Roll Angle Gauge should show the blue on the left (pictured left). If the Seakeeper is facing the stern of the vessel, you should select the Roll Angle Gauge with the blue on the right (pictured right). A positive roll angle should be displayed when the vessel rolls to starboard.

4. Change the speed of the Seakeeper between normal operation and low power operation. Low power mode consumes less power and should generate less noise. The selected speed is colored blue. When power is cycled (or Seakeeper turned Off), this speed will default back to the normal operating speed. Speed selection buttons shown below are examples and may not match operating speed of installed Seakeeper.

5. Change the display between day and night mode. The selected mode is colored blue and to change between day and night mode, press the button.

6. Change the units of the temperatures displayed on the Service Page between degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit. The selected units are colored blue and to change between Celsius and Fahrenheit, press the button.
