  • Page 32: Send Data

    1 3. Send data Used to activate the internal Bluetooth transmitter. Activate it before any data transmission from the navigation device to a PC or smartphone. When this function is activated, the device will not power off automatically (except when the battery is low).
  • Page 33 Note If data transfer hangs, you can STOP transmission, wait 2-3 seconds and enter into “Send data” option again. This procedure can also help, if PC or mobile software cannot “see” your ENC2 device. CAUTION – when you updating ENC2 firmware and you have to break this operation, ALWAYS use STOP button on ENC2 device first (before closing program or PC/mobile device).

  • Page 34: P Ressure/Salinity

    1 4. Pressure/salinity Shows the current pressure in milibar (green color). 1 PSI ≈ 68,95 milibar. When no pressure is shown, the pressure sensor is defective. The lower line shows the pressure correction (white color) – this value will be added to the raw value of the measured pressure.

  • Page 35: L Og /Speed

    1 5. Log/speed This navigation console can work with an external sensor (speed sensor) or without it (inertial mode). This option can be used to switch between these two modes. The field ‘Calc. distance from’ may switch between ‘External log’ and ‘Const. speed’. The first value needs an external speed sensor (log) to be connected.
  • Page 36 If you want to recalibrate the sensor, set the chosen distance in meters (reference distance) by pressing the lower button and changing the value digit by digit. Then, you will be guided to the next item, which shows how many pulses are counted in a distance of 1 00m.

  • Page 37: L Og /Speed Calibration

    When ‘Calc. distance from’’ is set to ‘Const. speed’’, a constant average speed is chosen to calculate the position (on the main screen, no log symbol is visible). The option ‘Calibrate’ will allow you to set a constant average speed used to calculate the current position, the return time and the target time.
  • Page 38 Pulses value can be altered by type of DPV, mounting position, and influence of for example “propeller suction” effect. Devices are calibrated to be used with Seacraft scooters, which construction allows for optimal sensor placement, and minimizes interferences. While for general orientation underwater factory setting will be fine with most types of DPV’s, for more precise applications- as for example mapping- we recommend speed log calibration with whole set-up used.
  • Page 39 It is possible to set the calibration factor also without a need to dive and measure a known distance underwater. In case that logged route indicates deviation of covered distance - and currents presence or wrong mounting/ log damage are ��������...
  • Page 40 1 7. GPS This menu option is for information purposes only. When selected, the navigation screen will show the GPS status information as described below: Valid: Y/N – Displays, if GPS information is available now Sat.cnt: 0…1 5 – Number of satellites used to calculate the position (more = better) Latt.

  • Page 41: Time/Date

    After power on, first GPS readings should be available after 20-60 seconds. The GPS antenna is located between the buttons, so you should not cover this point with any objects. You may tilt the navigation console as far as possible (screen upwards) for a while, to achieve better/quicker GPS readings, but this is not necessary in most cases.

  • Page 42: O Ther Setting

    1 9. Other settings Miscellaneous other settings are available as a separate screen: Backlight – [1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, auto] – Changes the display backlight intensity. Value 1 means the constant lowest brightness (about 20%), value 5 means the constant maximum brightness (about 95%), value ‘auto’ means that the backlight will be auto adjusted using the ambient light sensor.

    20. Units Allows you to choose the units of the values presented on the screen: Temperat.(ure) – Can be °C (Celsius) or °F (Fahrenheit) Depth – Can be meters or feet Speed – Can be m/min (meters per minute) or knots (nautical miles per hour) Distance –...

  • Page 44: Compass

    21 . Compass Allows to calibrate the magnetometer (compass sensor) and to set the magnetic declination and deviation. Calibration – This option is used for basic magnetometer calibration. You should use this function, when the compass direction shown on this device is improper. This is usually needed when the magnetic properties of the environment have changed.
  • Page 45 Caution: The new calibration can be worse than the existing. If you are not happy with the results, calibrate the compass again or restore the factory settings. After the basic calibration, you should set declination and deviation to 0 (zero), clear the precision calibration (see below), and set it again. Geometry –...
  • Page 46 Current – Raw heading from magnetometer, without correction. Stored – Stored value for this step. The lower button will store the Current value as Stored, each time you press it. The upper button will guide you to the next step. On the last screen you can check, if this calibration improved the heading display. This screen is named ‘Accuracy test’...
  • Page 47 If the corrected values are better than the measured values, press the lower button (ENTER) to store the results. If you press the upper button, no changes will be stored. Caution: Beware of placing another compass near this device when performing this calibration, because it might affect the measurement and affects the calibration procedure.

  • Page 48: Clear Data

    22. Clear data Clears all records from the internal memory. The user will be asked, if he really wants to perform this operation. It is recommended to power off and on the device after using this feature. 23. Factory reset After using this option, all settings will be restored to factory values, and all other data will be lost.

  • Page 64: Guidelines For Attaching The Enc To Dpvs

    When using the navigation console with any DPV, you should carefully choose the mounting point for the device. An unfavorable placement may cause magnetic interferences from your vehicle elements (battery, engine) to the ENC compass sensor. For a SEACRAFT® underwater vehicle, the recommended placement for the navigation device and its speed sensor is shown below:...
  • Page 65 LIMITATIONS: ENC device should be placed at least 0,2 m (7,9”) from any element containing ferromagnetic material (engine, battery), permanent magnets (engine, vehicle handles, speed sensor) or electrical wires connecting the battery with the motor. If this rule is violated, compass indications may be incorrect. Compass indications may be less stable when ENC tilt exceeds 35°...
