For example to set the Port as NMEA-0183 (4800 Baud Rate, Parity None, 8 Bits Number, 1 Stop Bit and Normal Polarity) you must select 4800-N81-N. The available choice is among (1200-N81-N), NMEA (4800-N81-N), NMEA (4800-N82-N), NMEA (9600-O81-N), NMEA (9600-N81-N), C-COM.

  • Page 87 Deleting Target (Advanced Mode) : place cursor on Target + 'ENTER' + 'DELETE' + 'ENTER' TD = Time Difference Loran-C positions are determined by precise timing of the intervals between reception of pulses trans- mitted by pairs of stations in the selected chain. Between any two stations a ship must be located somewhere along a line of possible positions where the measured Time Difference, TD, between ar- rival of pulses from those stations would be observed.
  • Page 88 Fig. 5h - Tides & Currents table When the chart plotter receives a valid position fix, the Tide icons are shown on the charts on the basis of the current date and time: the screen displays and changes arrows as date/time changes. Time (simulation) Sets the time of the simulated fix.

    6.4.5 EXTERNAL ALARM CONNECTION 6.5 SYSTEM TEST If you have connected your position-finding device according to the instruc- tions, and chosen the proper menu selection for your device, and are still having problems with your chartplotter, the extended auto-test should help determine the problem.

  • Page 99: Dim Menu

    RAM Clear To clear internal memory. If the chartplotter exhibits unusual behaviour, or ap- pears to be malfunctioning, it may be possible to correct the problem by clearing RAM. This operation will erase all Marks, Events, Routes, stored track plots and desti- nations.

    6.5.4 SERIAL PORTS If you are having problems receiving data from the position-finding instru- ment, this test should help determine the problem. Change Parameters To change the parameters of the serial interface. This menu allows to select the Port 1, 2, 3, the Baud Rate between 4800 or 9600, the Data Bits (Word Length) between 7 or 8, the Parity between even, odd or none, the Stop Bits between 1 or 2.
  • Page 101 Apply settings Sets the values Resolution and Horizontal size. When this function is executed the following message are shown: "The Display settings will be applied after power off. Do you want to restart the unit now?". If the display will not be visible, shut off the chart plotter again then power it up keeping pressed 'ZOOM-IN' to set default resolution 640x480.

    Trouble shooting THE CHARTPLOTTER DOES NOT TURN ON Make sure that the correct voltage (10-35 volt dc) is present. Check also that the polarity is correct. Refer to the Par. 2.2. THE CHARTPLOTTER DOES NOT GET A VALID FIX Make sure that no metal obstacle is placed around the chartplotter acting as a shield for the antenna.
