COMPASS (COG) SETUP

The CPN Series Chart Plotter computes compass direction from the constellation of GPS
Satellites. For the CPN Series Chart Plotter to compute direction the vessel must be moving
through the water to show a COG value. To show the vessels heading when the vessel is
not moving a Optional NMEA Heading Sensor (fluxgate compass) must be connected. The
Compass menu allows the CPN Series Chart Plotter to customize the following selections:
BEARINGS: Selects between True and Magnetic. When Magnetic bearings is enabled, the CPN Series Chart
Plotter applies the selected Magnetic Variation (Auto or Manual, see next item) to compute Magnetic
bearing.
VARIATION: Allows the user to select Auto or manual. When Auto mode is selected the CPN Series Chart Plotter
computes the offset by the current GPS fixed location. Manual mode allows the user to enter in a
magnetic variation that is applied in the True conversion.
CALIBRATION: Allows a user to enter a offset for areas that the vessel may cruise instead of entering in a manual offset
for one location. This offset is useful for cruising vessels or vessels that travel internationally often.

INPUT/OUTPUT (NMEA) CONNECTIONS

Refer to Connection section for wire description and connection examples.

Input/Output

The CPN Series Chart Plotter has 3 NMEA inputs and 4 NMEA outputs. These Ports may
be set up to receive and output the following:
· NMEA 0183 - NMEA devices* set to 4800 Baud (default setting)
· GPS Auto - select this option in case of WAAS reception problem with your external
GPS Antenna. When this option is set, the Autopilot Output on pin 8 of ACC1 cannot
be used anymore (because the output Baud Rate could not be 4800)
· Fish Finder FF525 50/200kHz BLACK BOX** - refer to Fish Finder Owner's Manual
· AIS 38400 - AIS Receiver
· Disabled - allows the port to be disabled.
* RS232 not opto-isolated electrical interface.
** Not available on Port 4.
