Initial Set Up Procedures - Raymarine A Series Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

6.13 Initial set up procedures

Once your display has been installed and
commissioned, Raymarine recommends that you
perform an initial set up procedure.
Startup wizard
When you power-up the display for the first time or
after a system reset a Startup Wizard is displayed.
The wizard guides you through the following basic
configuration settings:
1. Language
2. Boat type
3. Configure Units (Units of measure)
4. Boat Details
• Minimum Safe Depth
• Number of engines
• Total fuel capacity (TFC)
• Number of fuel tanks
• Number of batteries
Note: These settings can also be set at any time
using the menus accessible from Homescreen
> Customize.
Additional settings
In addition to the settings covered by the Wizard,
it is also recommended that the following initial set
up tasks are completed:
• Set your date and time preferences.
• Adjust the display brightness (and set up a shared
brightness scheme if appropriate).
• Designate the data master.
• Select the GPS data source.
• Familiarize yourself with the product using
Simulator Mode.

the Rotary control.

Minimum safe vessel depth
As part of the Initial startup wizard the Minimum
Safe Depth value can be set.
Minimum Safe Depth can be established by adding
together:
• Maximum Vessel Draft (i.e. the distance from the
waterline to the lowest point of a vessel's keel.)
• Safety Margin (an adequate clearance below the
keel to allow for draft variation and changes in
water or bottom conditions.)
i.e.: Minimum Safe Depth = Maximum Vessel Draft
+ Safety Margin.

Important: The information below is provided
for guidance only and is not exhaustive. Some
influencing factors can be unique to certain vessels
and / or areas of water and may not be listed
below. You should ensure you account for ALL
factors that apply to your current situation when
making calculations.
Some of the factors that can influence how much a
vessel draws are shown below:
• Vessel displacement (weight) — A vessel's draft
will increase when it is fully laden when compared
with its unladen displacement.
• Water type — A vessel's draft will increase by
approximately 2% to 3% in fresh water compared
to seawater.
