Introduction
The RP110 remote data repeater is capable of displaying over
200 standard NMEA 0183 and proprietary sentences. The
RP110 can monitor up to 4 separate data channels and can be
trained to learn new sentences.
The RP110 is trainable to recognize and display new NMEA
0183 sentences not currently defined. Up to ten new sentence
formats can be downloaded into non-volatile memory using the
RS-232 serial data port of a PC compatible running Windows
95, 98, NT, SE, ME or 2000. A program is supplied on floppy
diskette and the latest versions can always be downloaded from
the CruzPro website.
Up to 12 sentence ID’s can be stored in a list of often viewed
sentences. You can select a sentence from this list quickly using
the tand s keys to scroll through the selections. You can
add and delete sentences to/from this list as often as desired.
Five levels of backlighting can be selected and remotely
switched ON/OFF. All settings are automatically saved to non-
volatile memory.
The RP110 works on both 12 and 24 VDC systems and with
its large display digits draws only .035 amps and only .075 amps
with full backlighting.

Installation
Before starting the installation, please read this entire section
first. Finger tighten the screws that mount the instrument
bracket - It is not necessary or recommended to use tools.

Operation
Key Functions
The t, :and skeys are used to select and set backlight levels,
and set/change constants such as which NMEA sentences to
display, select a data channel, save and delete NMEA sentences
from the favorites list and prepare the instrument to receive new
sentences from a PC. New information is automatically saved
to non-volatile memory.
Backlight Intensity
Press :the key 1/2 second to adjust the backlight level for
night viewing. Each time you press the :key 1/2 second, the
level will get brighter 1, 2, 3, 4, OFF, 1, 2, ... etc. The blue
backlight ON/OFF control wire must be switched to +12/24V
for the backlights to work and offers external backlight ON/
OFF control. If ON/OFF control is not required, connect the
blue wire to +12/24VDC permanently.
Selecting a NMEA Sentence to Display
Up to 12 sentences can be stored in a list of often viewed
sentences. You can select a sentence from the list using the t
and s keys. The RP110 comes pre-programmed with the
following list:
142
$SDDPT DEPTH RELATIVE TO TRANSDUCER MTRS
163 $VWVHW SPEED KNOTS
160 $VWMTW WATER TEMPERATURE DEGREES
98 $GPRMC COURSE OVER GROUND DEGREES TRUE
Page 7
36 $AGWNC DISTANCE WAYPT TO WAYPT N.MILES
125 $PBVE T-30 TEMPERATURE DEG. FAHRENHEIT
129 $PBVE OP-30 PRESSURE P.S.I.
124 $PBVE RH-30 ENGINE RPM
You can add and delete sentences to/from this list as often as
desired. Pressing the tor skey will step you through the list.
"- - - -" will be displayed until the selected sentence is found on
one of the channels.
Adding A Sentence To the List
Press and hold the :and skeys for 10 seconds until a long beep
is heard. "c011" is displayed. Use the tand s keys to select
a sentence from Table 1. Once the desired table entry is
displayed, hold down the :key for 1/2 second to save the
sentence to the list. The RP110 will immediately start searching
for the new sentence on all four channels.
If "FULL" is displayed in place of "c011", a sentence will first
have to be deleted from the list (see "Deleting A Sentence From
the List").
Deleting A Sentence From the List
If all 12 list positions are full, one sentence will have to be deleted.
Press and hold the tand :keys for 10 seconds. Use the t
and skeys to scroll through the list. When the sentence to
be deleted is displayed, press the : key for 1/2 second.

Manually Selecting A Data Channel
The RP110 searches each of the four data channels for the
desired sentence. When a matching sentence is found the
RP110 stops at that channel and displays the data. To select
between two or more data channels containing the same
sentence, press and hold the :key for 3 seconds. The RP110
will search the other channels for the sentence. If the sentence
is only available on the one channel, it will return back to the
original.
Selecting Different Sentences With Identical ID's
Some CruzPro instruments (such as the V30 triple volts gauge
and the TL30 triple tank level gauge) transmit more than one
sentence with the same identifier but different data. The TL30
Digital Tank Level Gauge for three tanks transmits one sentence
per tank but each have the same NMEA identifier "$IIXDR".
When viewing data from one of these CruzPro instruments you
can step through the different values with a quick press the :
key.
Downloading New NMEA Sentences
You can add up to 10 new sentences to Table 1 using a PC and
a serial data cable connected to channel 4 on the back of the
RP110 as shown in Figure 4. To upload a new sentence to the
RP110, press and hold the tand s keys for 10 seconds. The
instrument is ready for data transfer when "rdY" is displayed.

Execute the program called RP110.EXE on the supplied floppy
diskette. Check www.cruzpro.com for any later versions.
When a beep is heard check the display for the status of the
transfer, if "good" is displayed, the process was successful. If
"bAd" is displayed, the process was unsuccessful, try the
download process again.
