UNIVERSAL DIGITAL DISPLAY UNIT


GENERAL

The P1251 Universal Digital Display Unit (UDDU) is housed in a DIN 43700 pattern (Din96 x 96)
case and reads a variety of IEC 61162-1:2000, NMEA 0183 messages in order to display the
following information:

• Log Speed
• SOG (Speed Over Ground)
• Log Distance Total
• Log Trip Distance & Total Distance
• Relative Wind Speed
• True Wind Speed
• Relative Wind Direction
• True to Ship (TTS) Wind Direction
• True Wind Direction
• Atmospheric Pressure and Pressure Trend
• Relative Humidity
• Air Temperature
• Water Temperature
• Heading True
• Heading Magnetic
• Heading True (Analogue Display)
• Heading Magnetic (Analogue Display)
• COG (Course Over Ground TRUE)
• Dew Point.

The indicator has one 256*64 pixel OLED Graphic display, 4 Touch switches, for display mode and
illumination control, 2 NMEA 0183 inputs and 2 NMEA 0183 outputs.

The P1251 UDDU will accept and re-transmit valid IEC 61162-1: 2000 (NMEA 0183) messages with
the following formatters; VHW, VBW, VTG, VLW, MWV, MWD, XDR, MTW, HDG, HDT, HDM,
JLG (proprietary) and GGA. LEDs, visible at the rear face of the unit, provide additional information
for customer confidence and diagnostic purposes.

Serial messages, requiring inputting into the P1251 UDDU, must first be suitably multiplexed into
one, or two, serial data streams before connection.

Power supply requirement is 24vDC.

19 “MODES” of operation are provided; one for each of the above parameters and are accessed by
use of the mode touch switches [<] [>].

The display has “illumination” up [∆] and down [∇] touch switches, which allow dimming to
extinction. The indicator is splash-proof but is not waterproof.

If switched off, the previous mode and level of illumination are retained in “flash” memory.

Refer to OPERATION section for full information.

INSTALLATION

The display can be readily fitted into a panel with a cut-out conforming to that shown on drawing
3317-A3-11, and secured in position using the two clamps provided, one at the top and one at the
bottom of the indicator casing. This necessitates access to the rear of the panel concerned in order to
fit and tighten the securing clamps provided. Removal of the indicator for servicing etc. would also
require such rear panel access.

In the chosen fitted position, access to the touch switches along the bottom of the P1251 fascia is
necessary for the control of the unit.

See drawing 3417-A3-13 for Installation drawing of the P1251 UDDU.

See drawing 3417-A3-11 for Panel Cut-Out detail.

CABLING

Cable connection into the P1251 UDDU is normally via free terminal blocks fitted to the terminals
soldered directly onto the rear CPU board and which project through the rear panel of the instrument.

When using screw terminal connections, a two core cable (0.5mm CSA) is required for connection of
the 24vDC power supply.

Two core (twisted pair) cable/s (0.5mm CSA) with overall screen is/are required for serial data
connection. This cable specification applies both to the NMEA 0183 data stream/s, input from the
talker/s concerned, and the NMEA 0183 output “re-transmit facility” that is also available for use, if
required.

Input RJ45 and output RJ45 connectors are also available at the rear of the indicator. These would
normally be used for “daisy chaining” additional, local, displays of the same generic type.

Refer to drawing 3417-A3-15: Connection Diagram for the P1251 UDDU.

OPERATION

Touch Keys
There are four touch keys on the P1251. The keys operate by a charge transfer sensing method. A firm
touch with a bare finger in the sensing area of the key is sufficient to actuate a key press.

> Mode Key


The > Mode key will increment the mode of operation from Display Mode 1 up to Display Mode 19
then back to Display Mode 1.

< Mode Key


The < Mode key will decrement the mode of operation from Display Mode 19 to Display Mode 1 then
back to Display Mode 19.

UP Key
The UP key Increases the OLED display brightness and the Blue Key backlight illumination. There
are 12 levels of brightness from off to full brightness.
Each key press increases the brightness by 1 level.

DOWN Key
The DOWN key decreases the OLED display brightness and the Blue Key backlight illumination.
There are 12 levels of brightness from full brightness to off.
Each key press decreases the brightness by 1 level.

IEC 61162-1 / NMEA 0183 SERIAL DATA

Any of the following IEC61162-1 / NMEA 0183 messages, seen at any of the 2 input channels, are
checked for validity and are re transmitted to both output channels at a frequency of 1 Hz by the
instrument.

MWV, MWD, VLW, VHW, VBW, HDT, HDM, HDG, VTG, JLG, GGA, XDR and MTW.

Log Speed
Log Speed, is obtained from the NMEA 0183 messages, VHW or VBW:-
If both VHW and VBW are seen at any of the input channels then the Log Speed present in the VHW
message will take precedence over Log speed in the VBW message.

Log Distance and Log Trip Distance


Log Distance and Log Trip Distance are obtained from the NMEA 0183 VLW message

Pressure, Air Temperature, Water Temperature, Humidity and Dew Point


Pressure, Air temperature, Water temperature and Humidity data to be displayed by the instrument is
obtained from the NMEA 0183 XDR message as follows:-

$WIXDR,P,xxxx.x,B,3,C,xxx.x,C,0,H,xxx.x,P,2,C,xxx.x,C,1*hh<CR><LF>
| | | |
Pressure Air temp Humidity Water temp

Alternatively any single readings can be sent as follows:-


$WIXDR,C,xxx.x,C,1*hh<CR><LF>
|
Water Temp

$WIXDR,C,xxx.x,C,4*hh<CR><LF>
|
Dew Point
Each reading is identified by the Sensor ID number, which is the last field in the group of 4, as
follows.
Sensor ID = 0 - Air Temperature
Sensor ID = 1 - Water temperature
Sensor ID = 2 - Humidity
Sensor ID = 3 - Pressure
Sensor ID = 4 - Dew Point

Alternatively water temperature can be obtained from a MTW message as follows.


$--MTW,x.x,C*hh<CR><LF>
|
Water Temp

Note; if water temperature is being received in both XDR and MTW messages, then data in the MTW
message will take precedence.

The P1251 accepts and displays wind data from NMEA 0183 MWV and MWD messages.

Heading Data
The P1251 accepts and displays heading data from NMEA 0183 HDG HDT HDM and VHW
messages.
Note: If heading data is being received from two or more NMEA 0183 message types, the following
precedence is applied.

SOG and COG


The P1251 accepts and displays SOG and COG data from NMEA 0183 VTG messages. Alternatively
SOG data can be obtained from NMEA VBW messages. If both VTG and VBW are seen at any of
the input channels then the Speed over Ground present in the VTG message will take precedence over
the Speed over Ground in the VBW message.

Data Timeout
All received data will timeout 10 seconds from the last received valid data.

Relative Wind Direction Correction


A relative wind direction correction value can be programmed into the P1251 FLASH memory using
a proprietary NMEA 0183 command. This correction value is added to the received relative wind
direction to correct for any misalignment of the Wind sensor with respect to the Bow-Stern centre line
of the vessel. This correction value can be set to any value between +180.0 and -180.0 degrees.
The proprietary NMEA command has the format
$PJLG,2,N,xxx.x,0*
where xxx.x is the correction value (+180.0 to -180.0 degrees).

Wind and Ship Speed Units


The Wind speed units and Ship speed units can be changed and programmed into the P1251’s FLASH
memory. Units can be changed from the default (Knots) to KPH, M/S, or MPH using the following
proprietary NMEA command.
$PJLG,2,6,20,2,12,y,z*
where y is Ship speed units and z is Wind speed units.
All speed units are as follows:-
0 = Knots, 1 = M/S, 2 = KPH, and 3 = MPH.
So, for example, to change to KPH for Ship speed units and to M/S for Wind speed units, the
following message would be sent
$PJLG,2,6,20,2,12,2,1*

MAINTENANCE

SERVICING:

There are no user serviceable parts requiring routine maintenance.

FAULT FINDING:

Check availability of 24vDC power to the unit.

Any loss, or interruption, of input serial data will cause the associated displays to revert to show
“dashes” as per the information provided in the “Display Mode” sections.

In the first instance, remove the P1251 indicator from the panel concerned and check the LEDs at the
rear panel of the unit. Check “CPU OK” LED to ensure processor is running. Dependent upon status
of “DATA IN” LED, check all connected “Talkers” as appropriate.
If the problem is found to be a loose input NMEA 0183 connection, re-connect the cable core/s
concerned. Incoming serial data will be restored to the display and digital readings will recommence.

If associated talkers are transmitting correct serial data and if connections at the talker/s and at the
P1251 unit are satisfactory, then continuity of the serial data transmission cable, from the talker itself,
must be checked.

If the fault is found to be within the P1251 UDDU itself, the unit must be returned for investigation /
repair.
