Introduction

The Triton and IS40 Display utilizes a unique bonded 4.1-inch

sunlight viewable LCD display to oﬀer clearly read sailing

information, including wind, speed, depth, heading, autopilot status,

log, timer and much more.

High contrast and a 155˚ viewing angle provide excellent

readability, whilst the bonded display ensures there is no chance of

condensation occurring regardless of the conditions.

Power consumption is extremely low for this class of product - 155

mA at 13.5 V with backlight driven at full brightness.

Dual Micro-C connectors provide for quick and easy daisy-chain

connection - ideal for retroﬁt or new build. Micro-C is the industry

standard cabling used for NMEA 2000 systems.

Installation

The IS40/Triton display may be mounted via a ﬂush mounting clip

or with the retention bracket attached to the rear of the unit.

Choosing a location

Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut.

The display should be mounted so that the operator can easily use

the controls and clearly see the display screen. Be sure the chosen

location allows access for routing the cables.

Ensure that any holes cut will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in

doubt, consult a qualiﬁed boat builder. Before cutting a hole in a

surface, make sure that there are no hidden electrical wires or other

parts behind the panel. Leave suﬃcient clearance space to connect

all relevant cables.

If multiple instruments are to be mounted in a row, ensure

measurement of space takes in to account the correct spacing

between displays.

These displays are high-contrast, anti-reﬂective and are easily read in

direct sunlight.

For width, height and depth requirements, please see the drawings

at the back of this manual.

Viewing angles

The IS40/Triton display oﬀers 170 degrees viewing angle, both

horizontally and vertically. Avoid installation in locations that require

the instrument to have signiﬁcant rotation of axis relative to the

deck. Users wearing polarized sun glasses may have trouble clearly

reading a screen that is at a signiﬁcantly diﬀerent angle to the

lenses.

Installation | IS40/Triton System Installation Manual

Fitting with mounting clip

Use the template to cut the required size hole in the chosen

location. At the same time mark the holes to be drilled for the

fasteners. Take care to be as accurate as possible when cutting out

the mounting hole - the mounting clip should be a close, but not

tight ﬁt in the hole. If the clip requires pressure to get in to position,

there is a high chance it will distort, and not retain the display as

well as intended.

Check that the clip lines up with the markings for the fastener

mounting holes, then drill the holes. Fasten the mounting clip in

place with the supplied screws.

The display can then be ﬁtted by pressing into the mounting

clip aperture - a positive ‘click’ should be felt when the display

engages with the clip. Check that all four edges of the display make

good contact with the mounting surface, and apply adequate

compression to the gasket.

8 | Installation | IS40/Triton System Installation Manual

Fitting with retention bracket

The display may be mounted using only the mounting clip, or

may be secured additionally with the retention bracket. In order to

secure the bracket, adequate rear access must be available to ﬁt the

fasteners.

Before ﬁtting the display in to the mounting position, ﬁrmly wind

the threaded rods into the back of the display by hand.

Place the display in to position and ﬁt the retention bracket,

followed by washers and fasteners.

Multiple displays

If mounting displays in a row or column, ensure that enough space

is left for the sun covers to clip on.

Even where the sun covers are not required, the correct spacing

should be used, as the displays require 3.5 mm on each side when

rotating for removal from the mounting clip.

The absolute minimum space that should be allowed for each

display is:

•Width:123mm(4.84”)

•Height:120mm(4.72”)

Wiring | IS40/Triton System Installation Manual

Wiring

The IS40/Triton display can be connected to either an NMEA 2000

or SimNet network. There is no separate power cable, as the unit is

powered from the network.

There are two Micro-C connectors on each display, allowing for

daisy chaining, which greatly increases the ease of connecting

multiple displays that are in close proximity, and can save in cable

weight and loom size. Note this method is approved in SimNet

networks, but not in NMEA 2000 networks.

Introduction to NMEA 2000 (SimNet)

NMEA 2000 is a combined electrical and data speciﬁcation,

and is based on CAN (Controller Area Network - SAE J1939) bus

technology. NMEA 2000 permits exchange of data and commands

between the interfaced products. NMEA 2000 stipulates the use of

Micro-C and Mini-C hardware for the physical aspect of the network.

Most NMEA 2000 devices can be connected directly to the NMEA

2000 backbone and SimNet devices can be connected by using

adapter cables.

Essential network information

•NMEA 2000 is a powered network. It must have a separate 12-15 V

DC power supply protected by a 5 Amp fuse. Do not connect the

NMEA 2000 power cable to the same terminals as the start batteries,

Autopilot Computer, Radar, thruster or other high current products

•An NMEA 2000 network needs to have a terminator at each end of

the backbone. A terminator can be one of the following:

•a power cable with built in terminator

•a terminated blanking plug

•a wind transducer (terminator is in the mast head

unit as opposed to mast cable).
