The chart plotter contains dangerous high voltage circuits which only experienced technicians can handle. STANDARD HORIZON will not be liable for errors contained herein, or for incidental or consequential damages in connection with the perfor- mance or use of this material.
System (WAAS GPS) constellation of satellites, providing precise location data with a host of navigation features. Idea for nautical use and sealed against water ingress. The CP150C is housed in a rugged, impact-resistant case with outstanding ergonomic design, for effortless operation.
2.0 INSTALLING THE CHART PLOTTER The CP1150C can be bracket mounted or flush mounted. If you decide to overhead bracket mount the CP150C, STANDARD HORIZON offers a overhead mounting bracket part number RR150003CP that will be needed for this installation.
2.1 INSTALLING THE ANTENNA 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 antenna. The antenna relies on direct “line of sight” satellite reception. If you are unsure that the chosen location is suitable it may be advisable to mount the antenna in a temporary manner to verify correct operation.
Figure 2.2 - Power On 2.3 OPTIONAL C-MAP NT CARTOGRAPHY STANDARD HORIZON has taken advantage of C-MAP’s experience with professio- nal navigation, by allowing the use of the refined and improved cartography called NT The new cartography of NT makes creative use of colors, patterns and icons to increase the familiarity and usability of the much larger coverage database of NT .

Speed Over Ground, Course Over Ground, etc. 3.15.2.1 Instruments Data The STANDARD HORIZON chart plotters can be connected to other instruments (Depth, Wind, Compass etc) sending NMEA-0183 data or other proprietary data formats. The chart plotter reads the following NMEA-0183 sentences from the instruments: DBT, DPT, HDG, HDM, HDT, MTW, MWV, VHW, VWR, VWT, RTE, WPL.
Figure 3.15.3.1 - GPS Status page The Signal Status can be: ACQUIRING: The GPS is trying to get a valid position Fix. GPS 2D: The GPS is receiving at least 2 valid satellites signals. GPS 3D: The GPS is receiving at least 3 valid satellites signals. DGPS 2D / 3D: The GPS is receiving a 2D or 3D position and the Differential Correction.
STANDARD HORIZON chart plotters. Contact C-MAP USA at (508) 477-8010 or visit www.c-map.com for further information on NT STANDARD HORIZON has incorporated new functions to aid your navigation and to improve the look and feel of the data display to closely resemble actual Charts. The following sections will discuss each of the improvements.
3.15.4.1 Display Settings With a NT chart installed, the display of the chart plotter is visually communicated to navigators as never before. To simplify the customization of the chart display, the map settings are now re-organized in modes allowing the user to choose the preferred setting.
Nav-Aids: US / US Simple / INT / INT Simple / Off. The default setting is US. When selected it affects Lights, Signals, Buoys & Beacons display. - INT(ernational): Draws Nav-Aids using international symbology. All compo- nents of Complex Objects are shown. - INT(ernational) Simplified: Shows Complex Object with one icon only.
Land Settings The Land Settings menu controls the level of cartographic details shown. Rivers & Lakes: Enables / Disables the display of Rivers and Lakes. The default setting is On. Natural Features: Enables / Disables the display of the Natural Features (any topographic feature formed by the action of natural process e.g.
