BG03 Smart Fittings Gateway

BG03 smartfittings gateway guide

For load display on smartphone, see App Instructions, and for sensor guides see
smartlink guide or smarttune guide.

Product Description

With the addition of a smartfittings gateway, data from our
sensors can be outputted to most modern marine electronics,
allowing data to be viewed from anywhere on your boat via existing
on-board displays. It is designed to plug directly into displays or
electronics configuration and is splash resistant to IP54, for
mounting below deck. Up to 50 sensors can be connected, data can be
logged and downloaded for analysis, and exported for use with
sailing analytics software.

How it works…

Simply plug the gateway into existing marine electronics
network. Add new sensors to the gateway using WiFi web interface
and configure displays to show live loads.

Gateway Installation

What you need:

smarttune or smartlink

NMEA2000 electronics:

Find NMEA2000 CANbus/backbone closest to load sensors. For
example, for a forestay smarttune, the backbone closest to the
forward bulkhead is optimal. It is important to find the right
location to allow for the strongest, uninterrupted signal from the
sensors. If necessary, a NMEA2000 drop cable can be added in to
reach this position (not supplied). Typical locations for backbones
include:
- Behind displays
- Mast base
- Near speed & depth sensors
Connect supplied T-connector + drop cable to gateway M12
connector (larger of the two) and backbone.
Power on marine electronics.

NMEA0183 electronics (includes NKE
products):

Find nearest installed marine electronics device to wireless
load sensors with NMEA0183 input. Consult manufacturer
documentation for more information.
Connected supplied cable to gateway M8 Connector (smaller of
two) and to NMEA0183 input using below wiring arrangement:
Power on marine electronics.

Gateway Web Interface:

The web interface can be used to view live load data, add,
modify or remove sensors, download log files and change general
settings. Viewing the web interface requires connection to gateway
WiFi, or to an existing WiFi network that the gateway has been
programmed to connect to.

Connect to Gateway WiFi Network:

After installation, ensure marine electronics (including
gateway) are powered on.
Using smartphone/tablet/laptop, connect to gateway WiFi, as
shown on label (left).

App Instructions:

Refer to the separate instructions provided for load display on
smartphone.

smartlink Guide:

Refer to the separate smartlink guide for detailed instructions
on sensor usage.

smarttune Guide:

Refer to the separate smarttune guide for detailed instructions
on sensor usage.

Before installation, ensure: · If boat hull/deck is constructed of carbon fibre, it is highly recommended to purchase optional dome antenna with 1m cable, so that there is a direct line of sight between the sensor and antenna. This requires having the antenna mounted on deck, with the gateway below deck, so that there is no carbon fibre in the line of sight. For boats with a mainly fibreglass construction, this shouldn’t be necessary. · smarttune/smartlink batteries are installed and sensor is powered on. · Antenna is screwed onto gateway. · Marine electronics are switched off at switch panel.

Sensor list Select ‘New Sensor’ to add a sensor
`Units’ changes what units the load is output to the displays in.
`Precision’ changes the number of significant figures the load is shown in. e.g. `0.00X’ counts in multiples of 0.001

Only change this if using wired load sensor connected to gateway
Enter data key provided with sensor here
Change designation of sensor for B&G and Sailmon, e.g. Forestay, Backstay etc (list of 64 names)

If using NMEA0183 output, choose type of output message.

Select from 8 Garmin channels. Sensor name (above) will show on display (first 10 characters only)
Don’t forget to select `Add’/’Change’ when finished!

NKE electronics
If NKE is selected as the message type, a drop-down menu will show to choose a dynamic channel. Each sensor will require its own channel. The name displayed will be the first 10 characters of the sensor name.
PLEASE NOTE: This functionality has only been verified using the NKE Multigraphic display. Consult your local marine electrician for assistance if unsure.

Standard NMEA0183 (extra for experts only)
If standard NMEA0183 is selected, it is possible to send a message with the load data mimicking a variety of different `talkers’ (device types) and as using the format of different variables i.e. Air Temperature, Transducer. Only one sensor can be broadcast via standard NMEA0183. Consult your local marine electrician for assistance in setting this up with your instruments.
