Warning! Electronic charts displayed by the chart plotter are believed to be accurate and reliable, but they are not intended to substitute for the official charts which should remain your main reference for all the mat- ters related to the execution of a safe navigation. For this reason we would like to remind you that you are required to carry on board and use the officially published and approved nautical charts.

Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the chart plotter! If you have not used a position-finding instrument before and intend to use your chart plotter 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.
more precisely, to ease and speed up all calculations, which so far have been done manually. If connected to a positioning instrument, the chart plotter 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.

Note The Fish Finder display page is available only if the Fish Finder is connected and powered On. 5.13 RADAR SETUP MENU The Radar consists of a scanner unit which illuminates targets with micro- wave energy and then collects the echoes from those targets.
Fish Finder 8 HD F & C 8 HD F ANORAMIC OMPACT The Fish Finder consists of a high power transmitter, sensitive receiver and a transducer. The Fish Finder sends an electrical pulse to the transducer which contains an element that converts the pulse into acoustic (sound) wave which is sent through the water.

items on the right side of the screen are closer to you than those on the left. The correct interpretation of the Echogram allows retrieving useful information about what is under the boat. See the following Par. 6.2.2 for more information. Color Bar Colored scale located on the left side of the screen that shows the colors used in the Echogram to represent the echoes strength.
Operating Frequency Readout of the selected operating frequency. 6.2.1 UNDERSTANDING THE ECHOGRAM DISPLAY The main elements that can be easily distinguished into an Echogram are: Fig. 6.2.1 - The Fish Finder echogram Fishes Fishes are represented as arcs because of the cone angle of the transducer. In fact as the boat passes over the fish the leading edge of the cone strikes the fish, causing a display pixel to be turned on.
Surface Clutter Appears like noise at the top of the screen extending many feet below the surface. It’s caused by many things, including air bubbles, bait fish, plankton and algae. Structures Generally, the term “structure” is used to identify objects like wrecks and weeds rising from the bottom.

6.5.11.3 Calibrate Water Speed Allows calibrating the value of Water Speed sensor. The calibration value, in the range between -10% to +10%, will be applied to the water speed from the transducer. 6.5.11.4 Calibrate Water Temperature Allows the calibration on the Water Temperature sensor. Using the readings from a precise temperature measuring device, insert here a positive/negative offset to display right value on Fish Finder screens.
6.5.12.5 Temp Rate Triggers an alarm when the transducer reports a temperature (from TEMP 1 sensor) variation rate above the value set. 6.5.12.6 Fish Alarm The options for Fish Alarm set the size of the fishes that, if detected by the unit, switches an alarm to sound.

Check your receiver manual to be sure that you have selected the proper interface format. If the screen is blank, you may have a broken connection and no data is being received.
Terms This section explains the terms that may be unfamiliar to the reader. Advanced Mode The chart plotter 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 = Automatic Identification System It has been introduced to improve the safety of navigation by assisting in the efficient operation of ship- to ship, ship reporting and VTS applications.

BRG = Bearing 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. Stations belonging to a same chain transmit pulses in timing groups: a different time base identifies each chain.

Depth Lines Imaginary lines connecting points of equal water depth. DGPS = Differential GPS Provides even greater positioning accuracy than standard GPS. DSC = Digital Selective Calling Method of establishing a VHF radio call; it is used to announce urgent maritime safety information broadcasts.

MOBILARM Automated crew monitoring system dedicated to monitoring onboard crew by maintaining a constant link between the crew member and the boat. The instant a man over-board event happens, an automatic alarm is sounded, and the vessels position is logged.

Speed Current velocity at which you are travelling, relative to a ground location. Spot Sounding Depth of the water in a specific and charted position STR = Steering Difference between COG and CTS. If COG is 25° and CTS is 30°, then STR is 5° Right. Target In order to tag on the chart the point, towards which the ship is Heading, you can use a special mark, called Target.

WGS-84 = World Geodetic System 1984 Coordinates System or Datum developed by the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA). Zoom-In Shows more detail in a smaller area. Zoom-Out Operates similarly to zoom -in, but in the reverse, showing a wider but less detailed view. XTE = Cross Track Error Distance from the ship's present position to the closest point on a line between the origin and destinations Waypoints of the navigation leg being traveled.
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.
2. Then, following template instruction, drill a 1" (25mm) hole and three 0.13" (3.2mm) holes. Fig.B.1a - Installing GPS Antenna (II) 3. Remove the template and let the cable go through the central hole. 4. Apply a small coat of RTV to the underside of the antenna. 5.
