  • Page 9: Introduction

    Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the chartplotter! If you have not used a position-finding instrument before and intend to use your chartplotter for navigating, we suggest you should read this User Manual and make sure you are familiar with its contents. The User Manual is divided into three main parts.

  • Page 10: Specifications

    precisely, to ease and speed up all calculations, which so far have been done manu- ally. If connected to a positioning instrument, the chartplotter displays the current position, the speed, and the heading of the boat and its Track. The user information like Waypoints, Marks and Tracks can then be stored on a User C-CARD and can be recalled at any time.

    The chart plotters can be set to operate in two modes: - MASTER mode (Primary Chart Plotter that sends data) - SLAVE mode (Secondary Chart Plotter that receives data) When the navigation is activated on the Master chart plotter, the C-Link navigation data will be continuously sent to the Slave until the navigation is active.

  • Page 73: C-Link Serial Connection

    C-Link navigation data can refer to: - Single Destination navigation - Route Following navigation. Values identified by (*) are sent only for Route Following navigation. The Destination Icon, Navigation leg (Fix Position to Destination), the Next Waypoint Icon and all other relevant C-Link navigation data will be shown on the Slave chart plotter.

    Terms This section explains the terms that may be unfamiliar to the reader. Advanced Mode The chartplotter can operate in two different modes: Basic Mode and Advanced Mode. In Advanced Mode it is possible to have more available functions, for example it is possible to handle Waypoints. AIS is an Automatic Identification System.
  • Page 104 BRG = Bearing It is the angle between the North (True or Magnetic) and a destination. It represents the direction to follow. Chain Selects the preferred chain. The Loran chains are groups of transmitting stations that use timed radio pulse transmissions. In each of these chains there is a master station and two or more slave or secondary stations.
  • Page 105 Depth Lines Imaginary lines connecting points of equal water depth. DGPS = Differential GPS Provides even greater positioning accuracy than standard GPS. Event User Point that refers to the ship's position. It is simply a way of marking where the boat is. File Collection of information (of the same type) stored on a User C-CARD.
  • Page 106 Navigate (mode) Operating mode (called also Home mode) all operations refer to the ship's position. NMEA-0183 The NMEA-0183 Data Interface Standard was developed by the National Marine Electronics Associa- tion of America. It is an international standard that enables equipment from many different manufac- tures to be connected together and to share information.
  • Page 107 Target In order to tag on the chart the point, towards which the ship is Heading, you can use a special mark, called Target. When the Target is placed, all navigation data are referred to this Target. TD = Time Difference Loran positions are determined by precise timing of the intervals between reception of pulses transmit- ted by pairs of stations in the selected chain.
  • Page 108 Time Line The location where the ship will be after the time set by the user. Tracks & Routes Recommended and established routes for ships at sea, including traffic separation schemes, deep water routes, ..TRN = Turning The difference between COG and BRG. If COG is 80° and BRG is 75°, TRN is 5° Left. TTG = Time To Go The estimated time needed to reach your destination, based on your current speed and the distance to destination.

    Smart DGPS WAAS Receiver B.1 INSTALLING Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky. Ensure there are no major obstructions or fixtures in the immediate proximity to the an- tenna. The antenna relies on direct “line of sight” satellite reception. If you are un- sure that the chosen location is suitable it may be advisable to mount the antenna in a temporary manner to verify correct operation.
