Chapter 1: Using the Display
This chapter gives an overview of the system and its features.

1.1 The C-Series wallet

Your C-Series unit is supplied with a wallet containing the following documentation:
• Installation Manual Reference Manual - for installation and system integra-
tion details.
• Reference Manual - for full operating instructions of the C-Series Display unit.
• Operating Guide - gives a brief, easy-to-use overview of the system and how to
use it.
• Template - Flush mount templat.

1.2 System Overview

The C-Series display is a unit which combines chartplotter, radar, fishfinder and course
monitoring applications. These applications give the following functions:
• Chartplotter - for navigation information, waypoint entry and route-planning.
• Radar - to detect the position and speed of objects around your vessel and colli-
sion avoidance.
• Fishfinder - to build a picture of what is below your vessel, to help find and iden-
tify targets e.g fish, wrecks etc.
• Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) - to help maintain your course using a
'rolling road' display.
For full functionality the display requires connection to a Global Positioning System
(GPS) and a compass for the acquisition of position and heading data. The individual
applications also require:
• Chartplotter - relevant chart card to obtain detailed information for the area in
which you are navigating.
• Radar - a C-Series compatible scanner.
• Fishfinder - a suitable transducer and Raymarine digital sounder module (DSM).
When used as part of a SeaTalk system it will display information from other SeaTalk
instruments. It can also be integrated to an autopilot and display Digital Selective
Calling (DSC) messages from a DSC VHF radio if fitted. Information from the C-Series
display can also be transferred between applications and to other SeaTalk instruments
within the system.
A built-in simulator lets you practise using the display and its functions without it being
connected to other devices (GPS, compass, scanner and transducer).
