 ==== Connecting the DMX512 Interface ====
----- Insert picture of connections here
+Connect the A,B and GND of the DMX cabling in place of any other DMX controller.
+Refer to the below image for the connection scheme.
-===== Configuration =====
+{{ :product:5985_connections.png?400 |}}
-==== Device / Rudder Instance ====
-The unit has a small rotary switch which can set the device and rudder instance from 0 to 15 as per the below table.
-^0^1^2^3^4^5^6^7^8^9^A^B^C^D^E^F|
-|0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|
-==== Sender Type ====
-The unit is shipped pre-configured for a European standard 10-180 Ohm sender but can easily be configured for an American standard 240-30 Ohm sender by the following actions:
-  - Note the Rudder Instance Number set in the unit.
-  - Set the Rudder Instance temporarily to “A”
-  - Apply a small magnet to the marked area of the unit label for 2.5 seconds then remove the magnet.
-  - The LEDs will then flash normally configured for the correct sender type.
-  - Return the Rudder Instance to it’s original position noted in 1 above
-Note that the unit will flash the red Port LED if the unit is set to the European standard or the
-green Starboard LED if the unit is set to the American standard and the sender wire is
-temporarily disconnected.
-If it is desired to return the configuration to a European Standard then repeat the above
-substituting “E” in point 2 above.
-==== Deflection Angle ====
-From software version 2.0.0 it is possible to configure the maximum deflection angle for the sender.
-The 3165 default deflection angle is 45 degrees, but this can easily be changed using the rotary switch and magnet.
-To adjust the deflection angle:
-  - Note the Rudder Instance Number set in the unit.
-  - Set the Rudder Instance temporarily to one of the values in the table below
-  - Apply a small magnet to the marked area of the unit label for 2.5 seconds then remove the magnet.
-  - Return the Rudder Instance to it’s original position noted in 1 above
-^Switch Setting^Deflection Angle|
-|7|35 Degress|
-|8|45 Degrees|
-|9|60 Degrees|
-==== Manual Calibration ====
-Some senders have a nominal resistance outside of the standard ranges. For this reason, it is possible to calibrate the "Hard to Port" and "Hard to Starboard" positions manually. For senders that are in the standard ranges of 10-180 or 240-30 ohms, this operation is not required.
-To manually calibrate:
-  - Note the Rudder Instance Number set in the unit.
-  - Set the Rudder Instance temporarily to 4 for "Hard to Port" or 5 for "Hard to Starboard"
-  - Apply a small magnet to the marked area of the unit label for 2.5 seconds then remove the magnet.
-  - Return the Rudder Instance to it’s original position noted in 1 above
-===== Alignment =====
-The unit is equipped with red and green LEDs that are designed to allow the physical alignment to the Rudder Angle Sender to be adjusted easily.
-When the rudder is midships simply adjust the physical connection between the rudder and the rudder sender so that BOTH LEDs flash as the unit is sending the midships NMEA2000® value to the network.
-When the unit is reporting a Port value the red LED will flash and when it is reporting a Starboard value the green LED will flash.
-This is designed to make the installation as easy as possible.
