    Radar/Chartplotter RL70RC (refer to the Pathfinder HSB Series Radar Handbook, also provided with the combined system, for details on the radar functions). If you are using any HSB series 7" display unit as a chart repeater display you should refer to this handbook.

  • Page 17: Terminology

    Note: Installation of all HSB display units is the same, whether the unit is a chartplotter or a radar display. If you have both the HSB Series Pathfinder Radar or the HSB Series Chartplotter Handbook you can refer to either handbook for display unit installation details.
  • Page 18 HSB display (repeater display). In particular, you can connect your HSB Series Chartplotter to a remote HSB Series Radar to provide similar functionality to the combined Radar/Chartplotter. Full functionality of the HSB Series Chartplotter is achieved when it is part of an integrated system, with other equipment (in addition to another HSB unit) connected via Seatalk or NMEA 0183.

  • Page 19: Display Unit Features

    If you have a combined Radar/Chartplotter Unit, or have an HSB Radar connected three full-screen modes as shown opposite are available (chart, radar and data log); data log mode is used to initiate and display a running log of vessel travel. You select the mode using the DISPLAY key as described in Chapter two.
  • Page 20 Radar/Chartplotter) DISPLAY DISPLAY In addition, in chart or radar mode you can set Windows On to split the display into two half-screen windows for supplementary data display as described below. The upper window shows the selected mode (radar or chart); operating control defaults to the upper window, but you can switch control between the radar and chart window with a single key- press.

  • Page 21: Half-Screen Window Options

    (see Section 5.3 System Parameters). • Radar display: If radar data is available, either as a function of the combined display unit or via the HSB link, it can be displayed. Refer to the Pathfinder HSB Series Radar Handbook for detailed information.

  • Page 22: The Chartplotter Display

    Several functions are available to control the display as follows: • Zoom in/out and Pan the Display • Offset the Chart or Centre the Chart around the Vessel • Synchronise the Chart and Radar (if radar data is available) Operation of these functions is described in Chapter 2.

  • Page 23: Chartplotter Display Options

    Chartplotter Display Options Set up options allow you to customise the chart by choosing what is, or is not displayed, how it is displayed (including language and units), heading mode and how the chartplotter operates with other HSB units. You can also view the cursor position and a variety of data from other equipment, e.g.

  • Page 24: Operating Controls

    Chapter 1: Introduction 1.3 Operating Controls You operate the chartplotter in a variety of ways; the control keys on the display unit are used with on-screen facilities such as pop-up menus. These include: • A trackpad providing up, down, left, right and diagonal control of an on-screen cursor.

  • Page 29: Switching The Display Unit On And Off

    2.2 Switching the Display Unit On and Off This section explains how to switch the chartplotter display on and off. The following description assumes that there is no radar scanner connected to the chartplotter. To turn the chartplotter display on, press and hold the POWER key until the unit beeps.

  • Page 30: Changing The Lighting And Contrast

    Chapter 2: Getting Started Changing the Lighting and Contrast You can change the level of backlighting and contrast for the screen and the keys.

  • Page 32: Using Chart Cards

    Chapter 2: Getting Started 2.3 Using Chart Cards The chartplotter has a built-in world map that can be used for route planning. Most areas are covered on a scale of about 500nm per inch on the screen (200nm per cm), although some populated areas have details down to 300nm on the screen.

    5. Close the card cover so that is clicks shut, to prevent water entering the display unit. Displaying the Chart Data The new chart information will be displayed when you move the cursor into an area covered by the new chart or, if it is already in the area, change the range scale.

  • Page 34: Displaying Chart Information

    Chapter 2: Getting Started Displaying Chart Information Chart cards include a number of displayed objects for which information is available, such as lights and buoys. Chart source data is also available and, if your chart includes port and tide data, this can be displayed.

    • Move around the chart by panning the display, changing the chart centre and changing the chart scale. Synchronising the chart and radar images is also described here. • Customise the screen presentation options. The chart controls are summarised in the illustration on the fold- out page at the end of this section.

  • Page 40: Using Find Ship

    • In full-screen chart mode FIND SHIP is used to re-draw the chart with the vessel at the centre and the cursor homed onto the vessel. • On a combined radar/chartplotter display, with chart and radar half- screen windows FIND SHIP can also be used to synchronise the radar and chart images.

  • Page 41: Changing The Chart Scale

    If you have a combined radar/chartplotter display, with chart and radar windows on, and you have selected Radar/Chart Synch in Chart Set Up ( see Chapter 5 ). FIND SHIP also synchronises the radar and chart images as follows: • The chart is redrawn so that its centre position matches that of the radar display.
  • Page 42 Chapter 2: Getting Started • To move the display to another area of the chart, by zooming out to a small scale chart, then zooming in on another position Each time you press the RANGE key, the chart scale changes to the next available setting.
  • Page 43 Chart Boundary - indicates further detail is available inside 4. When no further chart detail is available, as you press the bottom of the RANGE key, the effect depends on whether Plotter Mode is on or off as follows: • If Plotter Mode is Off, the unit beeps three times and the chart scale remains unchanged, indicating the smallest chart scale is displayed.

    The HSB series displays can be linked via the HSB network to transfer chart and radar data between units; this enables a second, repeater display to be used to view and control the chart or radar. The display unit can also receive external signals to drive various features, such as the North Up mode and waypoint display.

    Likewise, radar timed transmission is not available on a repeater display). For example, you could connect an HSB Radar display and an HSB Chartplotter display, to enable you to display and control both radar and chart data on either or both displays. The HSB series displays allow you to select either type of data for display, or display both types at the same time, in half-screen windows.

  • Page 118: Seatalk

    Chapter 6: Installation SeaTalk The SeaTalk standard was originally developed by Autohelm (part of the Raytheon group), and allows compatible instruments to be connected by a single cable carrying power and data in/out. This means that additional instruments and functions can be added to a SeaTalk system, simply by plugging them into the network.

  • Page 119: Nmea

    NMEA The NMEA 0183 Data Interface Standard was developed by the National Marine Electronics Association of America. It is an international standard that enables equipment from many different manufacturers to be connected together and to share information. The information is passed in “sentences”, each of which has a three- letter sentence identifier.

  • Page 120: Seatalk And Nmea Data Received And Transmitted

    For this reason NMEA 0183 is generally used to connect a data receiver and a transmitter together: for example, a compass sensor transmitting heading to a radar, or a GPS sensor (or Chart Plotter) transmitting position and navigation data to a radar.

Note: The HSB cables are fitted with ferrite clamps at each end to ensure EMC conformance. SeaTalk Connection The SeaTalk input/output should be connected at the rear SeaTalk 3-pin connector.

  • Page 128: Nmea Output To External Navaids

    Chapter 6: Installation To connect the display unit to the SeaTalk bus, connect a standard SeaTalk cable between the SeaTalk connector on the rear of the display and a SeaTalk instrument or the SeaTalk bus. Standard SeaTalk cables are available in a range of lengths (part numbers W284 to W287), and cables for connecting to older SeaTalk units are also available (part numbers D187 or D188).
  • Page 129 Connect the input(s) to the orange and yellow cores (Channel 1) and/or the green and blue cores (Channel 2). Note: Navaids cannot be powered from the radar. For example, to connect a Raytheon Heading Sensor to the NMEA Channel 1 input, connect the cables and power supply using a suitable connector block, as shown in the diagram below.
