WARNING:Fishfinder sounder module

Removing the transducer cable from the rear of the fishfinder
sounder module whilst it is switched on can cause sparks. Only
remove the transducer cable after power has been switched off.
Ensure that the sounder module is mounted where it is well
ventilated and in an area free from flammable vapors.
CAUTION: Water Ingress
To prevent the ingress of water and consequent damage to the display,
ensure that the chart card door is firmly closed. This can be confirmed by an
audible click.
CAUTION: CompactFlash Cards
• Removing the CompactFlash card whilst information is being written to or
read from it may cause damage to the card and loss of all data. Use the
proper procedure detailed on page 18 to remove the card.
• Do not save data (waypoints, routes etc.) to a Navionics card as the charts
may be overwritten. When archiving use a different CompactFlash card.
• DO NOT use a metallic instrument such as a screwdriver or pliers to help you
remove a card, as doing this can cause irreparable damage.
CAUTION: Global Positioning System Antenna
Do not connect or disconnect the GPS antenna from the display unit whilst

AIS receiver. The simulator mode is switched on/off in the System Setup Menu (see
page 183). Once enabled, you can use the simulator:
• Before installation - Simply connect the display to a 12V DC power supply,
fused at 1 amp by attaching the red core from the power lead to positive (+) and
the black core to negative (-).
• After installation - Whilst in a marina or at anchor.
Please note that system settings made whilst in simulator mode, are not transmitted
via SeaTalk to other equipment.
Important: Incoming AIS safety messages cannot be displayed while the simulator is
switched on.

2.7 Using CompactFlash cards

Cautions
CAUTION: CompactFlash Card Installation
When installing CompactFlash cards ensure that the card is fitted the correct
way around. DO NOT try to force the card into position as this may result in
irreparable damage to the card.
CAUTION: Water Ingress
To prevent the ingress of water and consequent damage to the display,
ensure that the chart card door is firmly closed at all times. This can be
confirmed by an audible click.
CAUTION: Card Removal
DO NOT use a metallic instrument such as a screwdriver or pliers to help you
remove a card, as doing this can cause irreparable damage.
CAUTION: Card writing
CompactFlash cards can be damaged if they are removed from the unit
during either a read or write operation. A warning is displayed during write
operations. The unit is continually reading the card. It is therefore essential
that before removing the card you follow the correct procedure to stop
access to the card.
What are CompactFlash cards used for?

CompactFlash cards enable you to get the most from your display. Their uses include:
• Detailed cartographic information
Obtain detailed cartographic information of the area that you navigate using Nav-
ionics® chart cards. To check the current availability of Navionics chart card types,
please visit www.navionics.com or www.navionics.it.
The amount of cartographic detail shown varies for different areas and for differ-
ent scales. The chart scale in use is indicated in the status bar - the number repre-
sents the distance in nautical miles from the top of the chart window to the
bottom of the chart window.
• Archiving
To archive waypoints, routes and tracks.
• Saving
To save waypoint, route and track data for use by other equipment e.g. a PC.
You can remove and insert cards while a chart is displayed provided that you follow the
correct procedure (see page 18). The chart information is retained on-screen until the
chartplotter redraws the screen; for example, when you pan outside the current area,
or use the RANGE button to change the chart scale.
Inserting a card
To insert a card, refer to the illustration and:
1. Check that you are using the correct type of card (see Important Information, at the
beginning of this manual).
2. Open the chart card door, located on the front left of the display.
3. Insert the card as shown, with the lip of the card facing inwards. It should position
easily. If it does not, DO NOT force it, check the direction in which the lip is facing.
4. Gently press the card home.
5. To prevent the ingress of water and consequent damage, close the chart card door
and press firmly until a click is heard.

2.8 Managing data

This section explains how you can manage the data contained in your C-Series and
includes the following:
• Writing/retrieving to a CF card.
• Erasing information from a card.
• Erasing information from your system.
• Transferring information to/from a PC.
• Password protection.
Writing/retrieving data to a CompactFlash card

Your display can save up to 1,000 waypoints, 100 routes and 10 tracks in data base
lists. Once this number is reached you will need to archive data to a CompactFlash card
for safe-keeping or retrieval at a later date. Alternatively, you can transfer data to
another instrument or PC using NMEA. When navigation is active, you can also receive
waypoints, routes and tracks from a PC, SeaTalk and NMEA instruments (see page 22).
Saving information to a card

Raymarine strongly recommend therefore that you regularly back-up your waypoints,
routes and tracks to a CF memory card.
2.9 Emergencies and warnings

You can use your C-Series display to mark the position of a man overboard or to sound
an alarm when a particular situation occurs e.g when a depth limit is reached, a
specified period of time has elapsed etc.
Man Overboard (MOB)

Marking a MOB
WPTS
MOB
Press and hold
D6652-3
until alarm sounds
If you lose a person or object overboard, and need to return to the location, you should
use the Man Overboard (MOB) function immediately. The MOB function can be
used whilst any application is in use and is activated by either pressing and holding the
WPTS/MOB key for three seconds, or by a MOB message being received from other
equipment on the SeaTalk system.
When a MOB is activated the following is initiated automatically:
• Alarm - the MOB alarm is triggered (Morse --- every 30 seconds).
• Waypoint - a MOB waypoint is placed at your current position. D9101_1
• Positional information - the bearing, range and vessel position are displayed in
the data bar. These are calculated according to the MOB data type set in the System
SetUp (see page 183). Assuming that your boat and the MOB are subject to the
same tide and wind effects, dead reckoning normally gives a more accurate course.
• Radar range change - if radar is transmitting, the system changes the radar
range to 1/8 nm.
• Active navigation is suspended - Navigation to any active waypoint is sus-
pended and any existing navigation function is cancelled. No further GOTO or route
functions are selectable whilst the MOB function is active.
• Autorange motion mode - If radar/chart synchronization is set to OFF (see
page 76), the chart application changes the motion mode to Autorange.This dis-
plays the largest possible scale of chart that will include both the target waypoint
(MOB symbol) and your on-screen vessel.
• Other equipment - other Raymarine equipment acknowledges the MOB.
• Current position to MOB position - as your vessel moves away from the MOB
position, a dotted line is displayed from your current position to the MOB position.
Note: To obtain a MOB position, you need either position data from a GPS (or equiva-
lent device) or heading and speed data.
Silencing a MOB
To temporarily silence the alarm from a MOB, press any key on any instrument on the
SeaTalk system. After approximately 10 seconds the alarm will sound once more if the
state of MOB is still active.
Silencing an alarm will not deactivate or clear the MOB state.
Clearing a MOB
To clear a MOB and its data:
Once cleared, your chart and radar
applications will return to the motion
WPTS
mode that applied prior to the MOB
MOB alarm and the GOTO and route functions
will once more be available.
Press and hold
for 4 seconds Note: Alternately if you have a MOB key-
D8231_1
pad fitted, press and hold the MOB key.
Alarms
You get warning of a hazard or a particular situation via in-built alarms which are
generated for the system as a whole or for individual applications. When an alarm
sounds, a message box is displayed explaining the cause of the alarm.
You can specify what alarms will operate and the parameters within which they will
sound, via the Alarm Setup Menu (see page 187).
Cancelling alarms
Display alarms
By pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE soft key, the alarm is silenced and any message box is
cleared. If the alarm has been generated by the chartplotter, the appropriate action is
taken. For example, following an arrival alarm, the next route leg is activated.
Please note:
• Although you can change the configuration of the arrival alarm, it cannot be turned
off.
• To cancel a MOB alarm, press and hold the WPTS/MOB until the MOB symbol dis-
appears from the screen.
• If an anchor alarm is silenced, but the alarm condition persists, the alarm is
repeated every 30 seconds
External alarms
If an instrument that is connected to the display on SeaTalk generates alarms, these
will sound on your C-Series display accompanied by a pop-up message box. You can
cancel these alarms by pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE soft key. The alarm will be
silenced, but no other action will be taken by the C-Series display.
Chapter 3: Working with Waypoints 29
Chapter 3: Working with Waypoints

This chapter gives details of how to place, edit, manage and navigate to a waypoint.
3.1 What is a waypoint?

A waypoint is a position marked on a chart, radar or fishfinder window to indicate a
site (for fishing, diving etc.) or as a place to navigate to. By default, all waypoints are
indicated on screen by a waypoint symbol - x. This symbol can however be changed if
you wish. You can also select an alternative symbol to be used as the default for newly
created waypoints.
Waypoint symbols
D8696_1
Note: For details of how to change the symbol, please refer to page 35.
Waypoints are a core feature of the C-Series display. They can be created in any
application and are displayed on the radar, chart and fishfinder windows. A series of
waypoints can be combined together to form a route.
The details of all waypoints, irrespective of the application they were created in, are
stored in a dedicated waypoint list which will hold up to 1000 waypoints. All waypoints
are by default, placed in the MY WAYPOINTS group. If required, you can create new
groups and change the default group. If necessary, waypoints can be archived to a
CompactFlash card or transferred to another NMEA compatible instrument. If the
system receives an active waypoint over SeaTalk or NMEA, it is displayed but cannot be
edited.
If required, you can prevent access to, modification and sight of your waypoint and
route databases and functions by means of a password. For more information see
page 23.
3.2 How are waypoints represented?

Waypoints on Chart and Radar windows
On chart and radar windows, a waypoint is represented when it is both active
(displayed in a box) and inactive (no box) i.e.
Waypoint 1
D8694_1
Default waypoint Active waypoint Alternative symbol
Waypoints on CDI windows

On CDI windows, a waypoint is represented only when it is active (displayed in a box).
D8930_1
Waypoints on Fishfinder windows

When a waypoint is created it is represented on fishfinder windows, by a vertical line
labelled WPT. This symbology cannot be changed.
WPT

D8697_1
3.3 Placing a waypoint

A waypoint can be placed at:
• The cursor position.
• Your vessel’s position.
• At a position of your choosing (using lat/lon or Loran TD coordinates between 800
N/S).
When you are placing a waypoint, you can either accept the default or customize its
details. For more information see page 34.
Once a waypoint has been placed, you can view its details and edit them (if necessary).
For more information, see page 33 and page 34.

3.4 Navigating to a waypoint

This section explains how to start and stop navigating to a waypoint. When you
navigate to a waypoint or to the cursor position, the data is sent on NMEA 0183 and
SeaTalk and can be used by an autopilot, if connected. For more information on
navigation, see page 56.
Start navigating to a waypoint

You can navigate to a waypoint using the cursor, via the
WPTS MOB button or by selecting the GOTO option.
Once navigation is active, the waypoint symbol is
surrounded by a box and a dashed line appears between
your boat and the waypoint.
If required you can display navigation details for the
D8285_1
active waypoint in the data bar (see page 180).

...using the cursor
To navigate to a waypoint using the cursor, when a chart or radar application is active:

CAUTION:
It is possible to move waypoints that are used in routes. In such instances, the
stored route will include the Waypoint in its new position. Ensure that this
does not present a navigation hazard.
Erasing a waypoint(s)
You can erase any waypoint on the system (including groups of waypoints) except:
• The active waypoint or
• Any waypoint used in a route.
Notes: (1) If a route is hidden its waypoints can still be displayed. If you attempt to
erase a waypoint from a hidden route, a warning message will be dis-
played.
(2) For details of erasing groups of waypoints, see page 41.

3.7 Sorting the waypoint list

If your system contains a large number of waypoints, you can sort your waypoint list to
make it easier to locate a particular waypoint.
The waypoint list can be sorted by:
• Name (default)
• Range (closest first)
• Symbol
• Group name
• Date
• Comment
• Depth
To sort the waypoint list:
SORT LIST BY
Order by: Range
Name
Range
SELECT SORT Symbol
SORT LIST OK
OPTION Date
Depth
D8292-1
Select sort method Save
3.8 Organising waypoints into groups

Provided that you have not changed the default group, all waypoints are automatically
placed in the default “My Waypoints” group when they are created. In order to make
your waypoints easier to manage, you can organize them into groups of your choice.
When fishing, for example, you may only wish to see the waypoints that indicate good
fishing sites. Other waypoints, say, for racing, would be superfluous at this time.
Note: A waypoint cannot be placed in multiple groups
Displaying the waypoint group list

To display the group list with its options:
e.g.
GROUP LIST
WPTS/ REVIEW AND EDIT WAYPOINT Deep fishing

Erasing a group
You can erase any waypoint group from the system except the group containing the
active waypoint.
When a waypoint group is erased, the group name together with all of the waypoints
in that group are erased from the system with the exception of:
• ‘My Waypoints’ - the waypoints contained within this group are deleted but the
group name remains.
• Waypoints used in routes within your system.
You should therefore ensure that any individual waypoints that you want to keep
(which are not part of a route), are moved before their group is erased.
2. Select and erase the group:
GROUP LIST

as described on page 37. For details of how to erase waypoint groups from a card, see
page 21.
3.9 Controlling waypoint display

When you have placed many waypoints on your system, it may become difficult to
easily interpret chart or radar information. This is particularly the case if you have many
waypoints in a small area. There are a number of ways that you can control the display
of waypoints and waypoint information in chart and radar windows. These are:
• Show or hide waypoints with a particular symbol.
• Show or hide waypoints belonging to a specific group.
• Show or hide all of the waypoint names.
• Show or hide the index of a waypoint within a route - chart only (see page 87).
Show/hide waypoint names

You can show or hide all waypoint names if required:

Chapter 4: Using the Chart 43
Chapter 4: Using the Chart

4.1 Important
Safety
When using your chartplotter you should always check that a route is safe. Zoom in to
check for hazards, such as small shoals, that may not be shown on a smaller scale
chart.
Until you are familiar with interpreting the chart display, you should take every
opportunity to compare the displayed objects with visual targets, such as buoys and
coastal structures. You should practice harbour and coastal navigation during daylight
and in clear weather conditions. The simulator mode can also be used to help you gain
experience.
It is strongly recommended that before you use your chart application, that you read
and understand Chapter 3:Working with Waypoints.
CAUTION:
The equipment should not be used as a substitute for good navigational
practice nor for official government paper charts. Do not use the chart before
you have read this chapter.
Chart functionality
1. To access full functionality, your chart application requires position and heading
data from your boat’s Global Positioning System (GPS).
2. Your C-Series Display has a built in world map, but to use your Display as a naviga-
tion aid, you will need detailed information for the area you wish to navigate. This
information comes in the form of a chart card and is available from Navionics (see
the Important Information section at the front of this manual for details). For full
information on installing and removing chart cards refer to page 17.
3. For your GPS and chart to correlate accurately with your paper charts, they will
need to be using the same datum. The default datum for your display is WGS84. If
this is not suitable, you can change the setting via the Chart Setup menu (see
page 91). When you adjust the datum of the C-Series Display, a Raymarine GPS will
automatically correlate. If you have a third party GPS, you will need to correlate this
separately.
4. For the Automatic Identification System (AIS) to function you should have a suit-
able AIS receiver connected.
Chart cards
To use your C-Series Display as a navigation aid, charts with the appropriate level of
detail for the geographic area you wish to navigate are required. The charts are
available in electronic format on Navionics Chart cards. Details of these cards and how
to obtain them is given on page iii.
When archiving data, Raymarine recommends that you only use SanDisk brand CF
memory cards. Other brands of CF memory cards may not work in your C-Series
Display.
4.2 Uses of the chart application

Once the heading and position data is available you can use your chart to:
• Find out where you are (see page 46).
• Interpret your surroundings (seepage 47).
• Measure the distance and bearing between two points (see page 55).
• Place waypoints at specific locations (see page 56).
• Navigate to a specific point (see page 56).
• Build and follow a route (see page 59).
• Monitor where you are going (see page 74).
• Distinguish between fixed and moving objects using radar overlay (seepage 76).
• Record where you have been (see page 78).
• Manage and edit routes and tracks (see page 68 and page 81).
• View AIS data (see page 54).
Facilities are also provided to customize your chart application to your own particular
requirements and circumstances. You can:
• Alter the way the chart is drawn in relation to your boat and the direction you are
travelling in (chart orientation and motion mode).
• Manage and edit chart data you have entered.
• Control the level of detail displayed on-screen.
Note: To change the data displayed in the data bar at the top /side of the screen,
please refer to page 179.
4.3 Viewing the chart

You will normally view your chart with the vessel on screen and motion mode ‘active’.
When motion mode is active, as your vessel moves, the chart is redrawn to keep the
vessel on screen. When you zoom the chart in active mode, the chart zooms about your
vessel position.
Alternatively, you may be planning a journey and do not want the chart to redraw as
your vessel moves. You can suspend the active motion mode by using the cursor to pan
the chart (see page 46) or by selecting FIND CURSOR.
When motion mode is suspended, the mode is shown in the status bar in parenthesis
e.g. (RELATIVE MOTION); zoom operates about your cursor position.
Provided the necessary data to ascertain your vessel’s position is available, you can
activate the motion mode, by selecting FIND SHIP.

4.6 Moving around the chart

To move around the chart and display the area required at the appropriate scale, use a
combination of zooming and panning.
Note: When you pan the chart, or when you change the scale in autorange mode; the
motion mode is suspended - see page 45 and page 85.
Panning
Panning moves the chart that is displayed to a different area. To pan a
D6583-3
chart, simply press the appropriate arrow (left/right, up/down) on the
trackpad. When the cursor reaches the edge of the screen, the chart pans.
Note: When you pan the chart, active motion mode is suspended.
Zooming in/out
When you zoom in, the chart scale changes to show a smaller area in more

detail. Conversely, if you zoom out the chart area displayed is increased
IN
D6585-1
but the detail is reduced.
Note: The cartographic detail available on charts varies according to the chart and the
chart scale. Some areas provide detail at smaller scales than others.
A feature of the chart is ‘autoscale’. If you select a chart scale that does not have
cartographic detail in some areas, the chart will use the most detailed level available
for the surrounding area and stretch it to fit the selected scale. This means that you will
never have blank or hatched areas on your screen. However there may be some mis-
alignment of objects which cross the chart boundary in this area.

the following addition information:
• Details of each cartographic object that is marked on the chart, including source
data for structures, lines, open sea areas etc.
• Details of ports, port and business services, tidal and current information, wrecks

4.9 Navigating to a specific point

You can use your chart to navigate to a specific point marked by the cursor (temporary
waypoint) or to a waypoint. If required you can display the largest chart scale possible
that will display both your boat and the target waypoint. When you navigate to a
waypoint or to the cursor position, the data is sent on NMEA 0183 and SeaTalk and can
be used by an autopilot, if connected. On arrival at the specified point a message is
displayed and an alarm sounds.
When you are steering manually, you can also use the chart to determine the bearing
or direction to steer.
Note: If you are currently navigating a route or going to the cursor /waypoint, you
must press STOP GOTO, before the system can commence a new GOTO request.

4.10 Building and following a route
SHOW/HIDE FOLLOW ROUTE BUILD NEW REVIEW AND EDIT

ROUTES ... OPTIONS ... ROUTE ... ROUTES ...
D6534-2
This section describes how to use routes and includes the following:
• What is a route?
• What can I do with a route?
• Building and saving a route.
• Following a route.
• Viewing details of routes.
Once created you have the option to view a route’s details, amend its course, edit its
name and color or erase it.
All route options can be accessed via the ROUTES soft key.
What is a route?
A route is a series of waypoints used to navigate a course. A route is displayed on
screen as a series of waypoints linked by a line.
Route name Sunday Trip
Waypoint
Route
destination D8327_1
What can I do with a route?

You can:
• Build a temporary route that you follow immediately (Quick Route). If you do not
rename a quick route, it will be overwritten and its waypoints deleted when a new
quick route is built.
• Build and save a route for later use, in which case the route is stored in the route list.
• Convert a track of your course into a route (see page 80).
Building a route
Routes can either be built on screen or via the waypoint list. A route consists of:
• New waypoints that you have specifically placed for that route Or:
• Existing waypoints that are already stored in the system Or:
• A combination of new and existing waypoints.
Note: A route can also be created from a track. See page 80 for details.
Up to 100 routes can be added to your system, each consisting of up to 50 waypoints.
As each waypoint is added, it is assigned an index number corresponding to its
position in the route and drawn on the chart using the currently specified symbol.
The following should be noted:
• When a route is being built it is not active and does not affect any current naviga-
tion.
• You can include a waypoint more than once in a route, but the same waypoint can-
not be placed consecutively.
• You can create a new route when the route list is full but on saving this, you will be
prompted to choose an existing route to overwrite.
• You cannot save a new route if any of the waypoints within it are currently active.
• The way in which the OK and CANCEL buttons operate is different when you are
building and editing routes (see below).
Building a route on screen

You can build a route on screen that consists of either new or existing waypoints or a
combination of both.

Following a route
When you are following a route the active route is shown on all chart windows. When
the distance to the next waypoint in the route is less than that specified for the arrival
alarm radius (see page 188), or your boat reaches the closest point of approach to the
target (defined by a line passing through the waypoint and perpendicular to the route
leg), a warning dialog is displayed and an alarm sounds (see page 57). Once the alarm
is acknowledged the next waypoint is selected, the display updates to indicate the
next leg of the route and the system sends the new navigation data to the autopilot.
There are several ways to select the follow route option:
• Using Quick Route.
• Using the cursor.
• Via the route list.
• In reverse order.

(HDG)
Course over ground
D6772-2
(COG)
The ship’s heading (HDG) is displayed as a line with an open arrow head. It does not
take account of winds or tides.
The course over ground (COG) indicates the boat’s actual course and is displayed as a
line with two open arrow heads.
The length of these lines is determined by the distance your boat will travel in the time
you have specified (3 mins, 6 mins or infinite) in the Chart Setup Menu (see page 90) at
the current speed.
Any times that you specify will apply to all chart views and if INFINITE is selected the
vector will extend to the edge of the chart window.
Note: If neither the speed over ground (SOG) or heading are available, vectors cannot
be displayed.
Wind and tide arrows

4.13 Warnings of potential dangers
When the appropriate equipment is installed and switched on, the following alarms
will be triggered when you are in the chart application:
• System alarms - Anchor, Timer, Alarm clock and Temperature.
• Navigation alarms - Arrival and Off track.
• Radar alarms - Guard zones.
• Fishfinder alarms.
• AIS alarms.
When an alarm is triggered, a buzzer sounds and a pop-up window describing the
alarm and how to clear it is displayed. In some cases, the appropriate action is taken by
the Chart. For example, following an arrival alarm, the next route leg is activated.
To switch these alarms on/off and set the limits:

4.14 Using the radar with the chart

You can enhance the use of your chart by combining it with the following radar
features:
• Radar range synchronization
• MARPA.
• Radar overlay.
Synchronizing the chart with radar range

When synchronization is switched on:
• The radar range in all radar windows, changes to match the chart scale.
• ‘Sync’ is indicated in the top left-hand corner of the chart window.
• If you change the radar range, in any radar window, all synchronized chart views
change scale to match.
• If you change the scale of a synchronized chart window, all radar windows change
range to match.
To set the radar range synchronization:

Viewing MARPA targets on the chart
The Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) function is used for target tracking
and risk analysis. Although set up in radar mode or radar overlay, all MARPA targets
are displayed in the chart window and associated MARPA functions can be accessed
via the chart. For detailed information on MARPA see page 143.
To access the MARPA controls when you are in a chart application:

4.15 Recording where you have been

What is a track?
A track is an on-screen trail that represents the course you have taken. This trail is
made up of a series of track points which are created automatically. You can save the
track to create a permanent record of where you have been.
.
FIND SHIP GOTO… ROUTES… TRACKS… PRESENTATION…

D6607_2
How can I use tracks?

Tracks can be used to:
• Review where you have been.
• Retrace your original journey by converting the track to a route and automatically
reversing it.
If required, a track can be personalized and the track options customized to your own
particular needs. You can:
• Rename a track.
• Change the color of a track.
• Specify the time period between track point creation (see page 90).
• Specify the distance between each track point (see page 90).

Creating a route from a track

Creating a route from a track enables you to retrace the course of that track.
When a track is converted the system creates the closest route through the recorded
track, using the minimum number of waypoints. Each waypoint created will be saved
with the depth and temperature data (if applicable) for that position.
On completion, the maximum deviation of

the route from the recorded track is
displayed and the new route is added to
the route list. It can now be displayed,
edited and erased etc. in the same way as
other routes in the system.
Note: If a track break occurs, only the last
segment is converted to a route.
D8366-1
CAUTION:
Before following the route, ensure that it is safe for navigation, noting that it
may deviate from your actual path travelled.

4.17 Defining how the chart windows are presented

Each chart window can be tailored to meet your particular needs. You can:
• Set the chart view for individual windows or system wide (see below).
• Change how the chart is orientated (see page 84).
• Change the way your chart is drawn in relation to your boat movement (see
page 85).
Working with multiple chart views

If you have more than one chart window, you can either share the presentation or
present each window independently. The option you have chosen is indicated on the
chart status bar as LOCAL or SYSTEM.
System chart view

When a chart application is started it defaults to system view. Any windows set to
system view will have the same presentation as other system windows for:
• Chart mode and orientation.
• Chart layers - radar and AIS.
• Radar/chart synchronization.
• Show/hide waypoints, routes and tracks.
• Declutter.
• Vectors.
If you change any of these options in one window, ALL system windows will update.
Local chart view

When local chart view is selected the presentation for each window is set
independently.
Defining chart window presentation

To define how the chart windows are presented:
CHART VIEW
PRESENTATION
LOCAL SYSTEM
D6586_3
Note: The motion mode will be set but not synchronized across windows when the
chart view is set to system.
Setting the orientation of the chart

The orientation of a chart refers to the relationship between the chart and the direction
that you are travelling in. It is used in conjunction with motion mode (see page 85) to
control how your boat and chart relate to one another and how they are displayed on
screen. The mode that you choose is restored at power up. Any changes that you make
to a chart window that is set to system view will be reflected in all other system view
chart windows. The following options are available:
North Up (N-up)
In North Up mode, the chart orientation is fixed with true north upwards. As your
heading changes the boat symbol moves accordingly. This is the default mode for the
chart application.
Head Up (H-up)
Head Up mode displays the chart with your boat’s current heading upwards. As the
heading changes the boat symbol remains fixed and the chart picture rotates accord-
ingly.
Notes: (1) To prevent continuous backwards and forwards rotations as the boat
yaws from side-to-side, the chart will not update unless the heading
changes by at least 10 degrees from the last displayed orientation.
(2) It is not possible to select Head Up when the motion mode is set to True.
Course Up (C-UP)
In Course Up mode, the chart picture is stabilized and shown with your current course
upwards. As your boat’s heading changes, the ship symbol moves accordingly. If you
select a new course, the picture will reset to display the new course upwards.
The reference used for Course-Up depends upon the information available at a given
time. The system always prioritizes this information in the following order.:
1. Bearing from origin to destination, i.e. intended course.
2. Locked heading from an Autopilot.
3. Bearing to waypoint.
4. Instantaneous heading.
If heading data becomes unavailable whilst in this mode, a warning message will be
shown and the chart uses 0° heading in relative motion.
To set the orientation of the chart:
CHART MODE AND ORIENTATION

PRESENTATION…
ORIENTATION… H-UP N-UP C-UP
D6511_2
Setting the motion mode

The motion mode controls the relationship between the chart and your boat. Whilst
motion mode is active, as your boat moves, the chart is redrawn to keep the boat on-
screen. The three motion modes are:
• Relative motion.
• True motion.
• Autorange.
When you pan the chart or toggle FIND SHIP/CURSOR to CURSOR, the motion mode is
suspended. This is indicated in the status bar by ‘( )’ around the motion mode and
enables you to view another area of the chart whilst navigating. To reset the motion
mode and return your boat to the screen, press FIND SHIP. Manually changing the
range in autorange also suspends motion mode.
The default setting is relative motion with zero offset. The mode that you select is
restored at power up. When a chart window is set to SYSTEM view the motion mode
will be set but not synchronized across other system view windows.
CHART MODE AND MOTION MODE

PRESENTATION…
ORIENTATION… TM RM AR
D6512-2
Relative motion (RM) with optional vessel offset
When the motion mode is set to Relative, the position of your boat is fixed on the
screen and the chart picture moves relative to your boat.
You can specify using the VESSEL OFFSET soft key, whether the boat is fixed in the
centre of the window (0 offset) or offset by 1/3 or 2/3. If you change the offset to 1/3 or
2/3, the view ahead of your boat will be increased.
0 Vessel offset
1/3 Vessel offset
0 Vessel offset
D6839_3
In the following example the motion mode has been set to Relative with a vessel offset
of 1/3. The boat is fixed in the offset position and the chart moves accordingly:
D6840_2
True motion (TM)
When the motion mode is set to True, the chart is fixed and the boat moves in true
perspective to fixed landmasses on the screen. As the boat’s position approaches the
edge of the screen, the chart picture is automatically reset to reveal the area ahead of
the boat.
Note: It is not possible to select True Motion when the orientation is set to Head Up.
D6841-2
Autorange
Autorange selects and maintains the largest possible scale of chart that will display
both the boat and the target waypoint. Autorange is not available if radar-chart
synchronization is on.
4.18 Altering the level of chart detail displayed

The chart features that you need to see will vary according to your particular needs and
circumstances. You can adjust this level of detail by showing/ hiding the following
features:
• Waypoints.
• Waypoint index of a route.
• Individual routes and tracks.
• Cartographic features.
• Chart vectors for COG, heading, tide and wind (seepage 74)
Note: You can also specify the level of detail on the chart display (simple, detailed or
extra detailed). For more details, see page 93.
Showing or hiding waypoints/waypoint information

The system has various options to control the display of waypoints and waypoint
information. You can show or hide all your waypoints and their names or show or hide
waypoints by group or by symbol.
These options are particularly useful when you have placed a large number of
waypoints in a small area and rendered your chart difficult to interpret.
Note: The show/hide status of a waypoint is a local setting and will therefore only af-
fect the individual display on which you are working.
Show/hide by group/symbol
You can show or hide waypoints with a particular symbol or belonging to a specified
group:
1. Select to show/hide by waypoint group or symbol:

Showing or hiding a route or a track

You can define which routes or tracks are shown or hidden from the screen. When a
route is set to HIDE, the route line is not displayed. The display of waypoints within a
hidden route depends however on the show/hide waypoint setting (see page 87). The
active route is always displayed irrespective of the display status.
Note: The show/hide status of a route or track applied to a chart window that is set to
system view, will be displayed in all other system view chart windows.

individually via the Cartography Setup menu (see page 93).
4.19 Setting up your chart and its cartography

The set up for your chart and its cartography can be changed from the standard
configuration to suit your particular needs. Although you will probably only do this
when you first use the chart, you may decide to make subsequent adjustments once
you become more familiar with the system. Any settings that you change are retained
even when you power off.

Datum
For your GPS and chart to correlate accurately with your paper charts, they will need to
be using the same datum. The default datum for your display is WGS1984. If this is not
suitable, you can change the setting. When you adjust the datum of the C-Series
Display, a Raymarine GPS will automatically correlate. If you have a third party GPS,
you will need to correlate this separately.
CAUTION:* Changing the chart datum does not cause any waypoint or routes
stored in the chartplotter to move on the display, although their latitude and
longitude changes to reflect the new datum.
When adding waypoints numerically to the waypoint list, or via SeaTalk or
NMEA, it is important that they are referenced to the same datum to which
the display is currently set.
Chart Offset
This feature allows you to move the position of the chart in order to correct for position
errors in the cartography. This adjustment is indicated as a distance north/west (+ve)
or south/east (-ve) from your vessel position to a maximum of 1000m. To view the
effects of an offset you can turn the feature on/off. Once calculated, the offset is
applied to all charts.
Important: Any offset entered will be applied to all charts on the chart card. You
should therefore ensure that this feature is switched off once you have transitioned off
of the errant chart. Any charting errors that you discover should be reported to
Navionics (see page 201).

Chapter 5: Using the Fishfinder 95
Chapter 5: Using the Fishfinder

5.1 Introduction
This chapter describes how the Fishfinder uses sonar to see fish, bottom structure and
texture, and underwater obstructions such as wrecks.
The standard fishfinder image is a historical, scrolling bottom graph at an
automatically selected range and frequency. Various functions are provided to
improve the underwater view, select what is displayed and sound an alarm including:
• Changing the view displayed (Zoom, A-Scope or Bottom Lock).
• Adjusting the range and zoom.
• Shifting the image.
• Simplifying the bottom image and isolating bottom fish.
• Pausing the scrolling image.
• Switching the depth digit on/off.
• Using waypoints to mark a position.
• Determining depths and distances of targets.
• Fishfinder alarms (fish, depth or water temperature).
• Setting up the fishfinder application including manually adjusting the frequency
and adjusting the gain values.
Note: Please refer to the Installation Guide for fishfinder calibration information.
5.2 How does the Fishfinder work?

The fishfinder application uses a Digital Sounder Module (DSM) to process sonar
signals from a suitable transducer and provide a detailed underwater view.
The transducer located on the bottom of the boat sends pulses of sound waves into the
water and measures the time it takes for the sound wave to travel to the bottom and
back. The returning sound echoes are affected by bottom structure and by any other
objects in their path, e.g. fish, wrecks, reefs.
The Digital Sounder Module (DSM) processes these echoes and sends data to the
fishfinder which displays a visual interpretation of the underwater view. The strength
of echoes is indicated on the display by different colors. You can use this information to
determine the bottom structure, the size of fish and other objects in the water e.g.
debris, air bubbles.
Notes: (1) The DSM will operate at a frequency of 50 kHz or 200 kHz.
(2) Some transducers will also enable the fishfinder to display water
temperature and/or speed.
5.3 What can the fishfinder show me?

When you first view the fishfinder application, an image representing the echoes seen
by the DSM is displayed. As time passes this image scrolls from right to left and
becomes a record of the echoes seen. The images at the right hand side of the display
are therefore the most recent.
The fishfinder window will display:
• The bottom together with any bottom structure such as reefs and shipwrecks etc.
• Target images indicating fish.
• A status bar noting the frequency and gain settings.
• The bottom depth.
You can customize the fishfinder to:
• Hide the depth of the targets - see page 106.
• Show the depth lines - see page 113.
• Change the color palette and the depth displayed - see page 113.
• Pause or change the scroll speed - see page 105.
• Enable a fish, shallow or deep water alarm - see page 110 and page 188
• Adjust the DSM and Transducer to suit local conditions - see page 110.

Interpreting the bottom structure

The bottom usually produces a strong echo. These images indicate the bottom
conditions as follows:.
A hard bottom (sand) produces a thin line
A soft bottom (mud or seaweed cover) produces a wide line.

The dark layer indicates a strong signal.
A rocky or uneven bottom or a wreck produces an irregular

image with peaks and troughs
D6855-2
The dark layers indicate a good echo; the lighter areas weaker echoes. This could mean
that the upper layer is soft and therefore allowing sound waves to pass to the more
solid layer below.
It is also possible that the sound waves are making two complete trips – hitting the
bottom, bouncing off the boat, then reflecting off the bottom again. This can happen if
the water is shallow, the bottom is hard, or gain is set high.
The Fishfinder provides various features to help you interpret the fishfinder picture.
Factors influencing target display

The shape and size of this mark is influenced by a combination of factors:
Boat speed
The shape of the target changes along with your speed. Slower speeds return flatter,
more horizontal marks. As your boat’s speed increases, the target will tend to thicken
and arch slightly; until at fast speeds the mark resembles a double vertical line.
The depth of the target

The closer the target to the surface the larger the mark on screen.
Note: The depth of individual targets can be displayed by switching on the Target
Depth ID in the Fishfinder Setup Menu. The number of target depths displayed is influ-
enced by the fish alarm sensitivity level (see page 188).
Target
depth
Target
D6890-2
The size of the target
The larger the target, the larger the return on the fishfinder display. The size of a fish
target is however dependent upon the size of the fish’s swim bladder rather than its
overall size. This swim bladder will vary in size between different breeds of fish.
The frequency of the transducer

The same target will appear differently when the transducer frequency is changed. The
lower the frequency the broader the mark.
Factors impairing a fishfinder picture

Although weaker than the fish or bottom echoes, your fishfinder picture may be
impaired by echoes received from floating or submerged debris, air bubbles or from
your boat’s movements. This is known as background noise or clutter and is controlled
by the gain modes (gain, color gain and TVG). Raymarine recommends that you allow
your system to automatically control the ideal sensitivity level based on depth and
water conditions. You can however adjust these settings manually if you prefer. For
more details, please refer to page 116.
Seeing a live image

The standard fishfinder display shows a historical record of fishfinder echoes. If
required, you can display a live image of the bottom structure and the fish directly
below the transducer by using the A-Scope feature. The width of the bottom covered
by the A-Scope is indicated at the bottom of the window. A-Scope provides a more
precise and easier to interpret indication of the target strength.
There are three A-Scope modes which are selected for individual fishfinder windows:

Changing how the image scrolls
Adjusting the scroll mode and speed

You can adjust the speed at which the display scrolls, but the same section of the
bottom is displayed regardless of scrolling speed. A faster speed displays more detail.
This is useful when you are looking for fish. If you select a slower speed the information
remains on the display for longer.
The following options are available:
• Manual - This allows you to set the scroll speed as a percentage of the maximum
scroll rate for that depth. The lower the percentage, the slower the image will scroll.
The default is manual adjustment with a full speed scroll (100%).
• Automatic - The system automatically adjusts the scroll speed, based on boat
speed:
• Less than, or equal to 0.5 kts, scroll speed is constant at 10%.
• Between 0.5–15 kts, scroll speed varies linearly with boat speed.
• Greater than 15 kts, scroll speed is constant at 100%.

Pausing the scrolling image

You can pause the display to see a ‘snapshot’ of the image. When a display is paused,
scrolling stops but the depth indication continues to be updated.Scroll pause/resume
affects the currently selected fishfinder frequency (200kHz, 50kHz or BOTH).
If you are in dual frequency mode (see page 114), you can pause one frequency while
the other continues to scroll. This allows you to inspect a paused image, place
waypoints or VRMs, while the other frequency continues to scroll and detect fish etc.
When in automatic frequency mode and the depth changes, the new frequency will
NOT be paused.

Changing how the depth digit is displayed

The depth under the boat is displayed in the upper or lower left hand corner of the
fishfinder window. The size of this depth digit can be adjusted or it can be switched on/
off for individual fishfinder windows.
Changing the size/position of the depth digit

You can decrease the size of the depth digit (to small or medium) and you can change
its position to the top of the screen e.g.

• Depth reading - your current depth displayed. The size and position of this digit
can be changed via the Fishfinder display Setup menu (see page 110).
• Depth lines - horizontal dashed lines drawn at regular intervals to indicate the
depth from the surface. These are switched on/off via the Fishfinder Display Setup
menu (see page 113).
• Depth Target ID - depths noted against recognized targets. The sensitivity of
these IDs is directly linked to the Fish Alarm sensitivity; the greater the fish alarm
sensitivity, the greater the number of labelled returns. These targets are switched
on/off via the Fishfinder Display Setup menu (see page 113).
• Cursor depth - the depth and the distance from your boat marked by the cursor,
is indicated in the data bar at the top of the screen. This performs in a similar way to
a VRM, but without lines.
• VRMs - to indicate the distance behind your boat and the depth below of selected
objects. For further information see page 109.
Measuring using VRMs

You can use a Variable Range Marker (VRM) to determine the depth and distance-
behind-boat of an object. These markers consist of a horizontal (depth) line and a
vertical (distance-behind-boat) line; each of which are marked with the appropriate
measurement and are controlled individually.
Note: VRMs set up in Fishfinder are unrelated to those set up in Radar.

5.7 Fishfinder alarms

In addition to the system alarms (see page 187), the following alarms can be set when
you are connected to a DSM or when the simulator is on:
• Fish Alarms - sound when a target meets the specified sensitivity level and, is
within the depth limits (if enabled). The greater the fish alarm sensitivity, the
greater the number of target image depths displayed.
• Shallow/Deep Alarms - sound when the DSM detects that the depth is less than
the shallow limit, or greater than the deep limit.
You can switch the alarms on, set the limits and specify the fish alarm sensitivity as
described onpage 188.
5.8 Setting up your fishfinder

The set up for your fishfinder can be changed from the standard configuration to suit
your particular needs. The Fishfinder Setup Menu is divided into three sections:

Transducer Calibration
The C-Series display receives the image from a DSM which processes sonar signals
from a transducer mounted in the water. If the transducer is equipped with a speed
paddle wheel and temperature-sensing thermistor, the DSM calculates speed and
temperature. To ensure accurate readings it may be necessary to calibrate the
transducer(s) by applying offsets to depth, speed and temperature. As these settings
are held in the DSM and relate to the transducer, they are applied system-wide.
The Fishfinder Setup Menu provides the following set up options for your transducer:
MENU ITEM OPTIONS

5.9 Other settings affecting the fishfinder image

The system automatically adjusts the following settings in order to optimize the
fishfinder image:
• Operating frequency.
• Gain modes (Gain, Color Gain, TVG)
• Power setting.
They should not ordinarily require adjustment. You can however make adjustments
manually if required.
Operating frequency modes

The operating frequency is indicated in the status bar. You can choose to either set the
frequency to automatic (default) or manual.
Automatic frequency
When operating in automatic frequency, your DSM automatically changes the
frequency from 200 kHz to 50 kHz as your depth increases and from 50kHz to 200 kHz
as your depth decreases. This mode is useful for automatically searching for the
bottom and is the normal mode of operation.
Manual frequency
Manual frequency allows you to manually set the system to either a single or dual
frequency mode:
Single frequency mode
This mode sets the transducer to ping at a single frequency:
• 50 kHz - scans a wide area and penetrates water well. Use this setting when you
are in deep water and the DSM is locked onto a shallow target e.g. very large shoal
of fish or you are in very shallow water (<30 feet) and you need to see better fish
targets (wider cone angle),or:
• 200 kHz - scans a narrow area but produces more detail. Use this setting when you
are in deep water and the 200 kHz signal is so strong that you want to retain this
higher resolution picture. It is good for finding fish that are near the bottom or close
together.
To select a single frequency:
T

D7353-2
frequency
Note: Changing the frequency in a single fishfinder window will automatically change
all other fishfinder windows to that frequency.
Dual frequency mode

In dual frequency mode the DSM pings at the same rate but alternates between 200
kHz and 50 kHz. This allows you to select the required frequency(s) - 50kHz, 200 kHz or
BOTH for each individual fishfinder window. Combine this mode with the zoom,
bottom lock and A-scope functions to customize each fishfinder window to meet your
particular requirements or fishing conditions. For example, when you are in deeper
water you can set one fishfinder application to 200 kHz and another to 50kHz. Display
the 50 kHz in normal mode to show full bottom detail and a long history. This will give
you an overview of the current fishing conditions. Display the 200 kHz window in full-
pan zoom to view the top of the water column in very high detail and see fish
swimming near the surface. In a third fishfinder application, select BOTH to split the
window and display a high resolution image (200 kHz) and a wider cone (50kHz)
simultaneously. Using these settings covers all possibilities and ensures that nothing is
missed.
Note: When BOTH (default) is selected, any changes that you make to the zoom, bot-
tom lock, A-scope etc. will be applied to both images within that window.

Gain modes
You can make various adjustments to the gain modes if required:
• Gain mode.
• Auto gain.
• Color gain.
• TVG.
Note: In addition to the controls described in this section, the Fishfinder Setup options
allow you to adjust the Interference Rejection, 2nd Echo Interference Rejection and
Ping Rate Limit. These options are described on page 110.
Auto gain modes

setting
The gain, or sensitivity, of the display adjusts background noise by varying the echo
strength for display. The value of the GAIN control determines the strength above
which echoes are displayed. There are three AUTO GAIN modes:
• Low is ideal for viewing fishfinder images with a minimum of background noise as
you are cruising to your fishing spot. Only the strongest echoes are displayed.
• Medium is a slightly higher gain setting that displays more detailed echoes as you
are trolling. This is the default mode.
• High gives the best details of the targets you have located but also displays the
most background noise and surface clutter. This is suitable when you are fishing.
With all of these modes, the DSM will automatically adjust the Gain setting for current
conditions and adjust separately for each frequency. Any adjustments made apply to
all windows using that frequency.
Manually adjusting the gain modes

If necessary you can set the gain controls manually. The new values remain set even
when you switch off the display and are applied to both the active window and any
other fishfinder windows displaying that frequency.
Manual Gain Mode

This should be set high enough to see fish and bottom detail but without too much
background noise. Generally, a high gain is used in deep and/or clear water; a low gain
in shallow and/or murky water.

TVG (Time Varied Gain)

The TVG (Time Variable Gain) reduces the clutter by varying the gain throughout the
water column. This function is useful for reducing the appearance of ‘noise’. Increasing
the TVG value increases the maximum depth to which TVG is applied. Decreasing it
reduces the maximum depth. A low TVG value has little effect on gain in shallow
water; a high value decreases the gain in shallow water so that only the strongest
echoes are displayed. TVG has no effect in Fishfinder Simulator Mode.

Adjusting the power setting

The Power control provides adjustment of the transducer signal.
Auto
This is the default setting. When it is selected the DSM automatically determines the
required power setting based on the current depth, speed, and (bottom) signal
strength.
Manual
If you wish to manually adjust the power to suit current conditions, you can adjust the
power level between 0 and 100%, in 10% increments. Lower power levels are
normally used in depth ranges less than 8 ft. (2.4 m) and higher power levels are
typically selected for depths greater than 12 ft. (3.7 m).
Note: When the power level setting is changed there is a short delay while the new
setting takes effect.

picture. It then shows you how to use your radar and its various functions including:
• Changing orientation and motion mode.
• Getting the best radar picture.
• Measuring distances and bearings.
• Collision avoidance using Guard Zones, MARPA and AIS.
• Using waypoints to mark positions.
• Setting up the radar display.
• Radar alarms.
• View AIS data.
6.2 What is radar?

Radio Detection And Ranging (RADAR) is something that is in use all around us,
although it is normally invisible. One of the most common uses of radar at sea is to
detect the presence of objects, known as ‘targets’ at a distance, and if they are moving,
detect their speed.
This chapter of the Reference manual provides the information and instructions to
enable you to start using the radar so that you know what is around you and use the in-
built Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) functions to help in collision
avoidance.
Until you are familiar with interpreting the radar display, every opportunity should be
taken to compare the radar screen patterns with visual targets, such as other boats,
buoys and coastal structures. You should practise harbor and coastal navigation
during daylight hours and in clear weather conditions.
Detecting targets
Radar works by transmitting radio pulses, then detecting reflections of these pulses
(echoes) from objects in the area and displaying the reflections as targets on your
display.
Maximum radar range

Maximum radar range is essentially line-of-sight, so is limited by the height of the
scanner and the height of the target as illustrated below:
Rmax
a1 a2
Earth
h H
Radar Rmax = 2.23 ( h + H ) Cliff
Rmax maximum radar range in nautical miles
h radar antenna height in metres
H target height in metres
Rmax = radar horizon of antenna (a1) + radar horizon of target (a2)
D1643-3
The table below shows typical maximum radar ranges for various radar antenna
heights and target heights. Remember that although the radar horizon is greater than
the optical horizon, the radar can only detect targets if a large enough target is above
the radar horizon.

Factors impairing a radar picture

Not all radar echoes are produced by valid targets. Spurious echoes may be caused by:
• Side lobes.
• Indirect echoes.
• Multiple echoes.
• Blind sectors.
• Sea, rain or snow clutter.
• Interference.
Through observation, practice, and experience, you can generally detect these
conditions very quickly and use the radar controls to minimize them.
Side lobes
Side lobe patterns are produced by small amounts of energy from the transmitted
pulses that are radiated outside the narrow main beam.
The effects of side lobes are most noticeable with targets at short ranges (normally
below 3 nm), and in particular with larger objects. Side lobe echoes form either arcs on
the radar screen similar to range rings, or a series of echoes forming a broken arc.

Indirect echoes
There are several types of indirect echoes or ghost images. These sometimes have the
appearance of true echoes, but in general they are intermittent and poorly defined.
False echo True echo True echo
Passing Mast
ship or funnel False echo
D1641-4
Multiple echoes
Multiple echoes are not very common but can occur if there is a large target with a
wide vertical surface at a comparatively short range. The transmitted signal will be
reflected back and forth between the target and your own ship, resulting in multiple
echoes, displayed beyond the range of the true target echo, but on the same bearing.
True echo
Multiple echoes
D1642-3
Blind sectors
Obstructions such as funnels and masts near the radar antenna may obstruct the radar
beam and cause radar shadows or ‘blind sectors’. If the obstruction is relatively
narrow, there will be a reduction of the beam intensity, though not necessarily a
complete cut-off. However, for wider obstructions there may be a total loss of signal in
the shadow area. There may also be multiple echoes which extend behind the
obstruction. Blind sector effects can normally be minimized by careful selection of the
scanner site prior to installation.
Sea clutter
Radar returns from waves around the vessel can clutter the centre of the radar picture,
making it difficult to detect real targets. Such ‘sea clutter’ usually appears as multiple
echoes on the display at short range scales, and the echoes are not repetitive or
consistent in position. With high winds and extreme conditions, echoes from sea
clutter may cause dense background clutter in the shape of an almost solid disc.
D3968-4
Rain or snow clutter

The radar can see echoes from rain or snow. Returns from storm areas and rain squalls
consist of countless small echoes that continuously change size, intensity and position.
These returns sometimes appear as large hazy areas, depending on the intensity of the
rainfall or snow in the storm cell.
D3967-4
Interference
When two or more radar-equipped vessels are operating within range of each other
mutual radar interference can occur. This usually appears as a spiral of small dots from
the display centre This type of interference is most noticeable at long ranges.

ward facing position when Standby mode is selected.
6.4 The radar picture

You will need heading and position data for full functionality of your radar. A fast
heading sensor is also needed for operation of MARPA and can maximize the
performance of radar/chart overlay.
With your radar scanner connected and the radar in transmit mode, the radar picture,
provides a map-like representation of the area in which the radar is operating e.g.

VRM/EBL... GAIN... PRESENTATION...
TRACKING... ECHOES...
Typically, your boat’s position is at the centre of the display, and its dead ahead bearing
is indicated by a vertical heading line, known as the Ship’s Heading Marker (SHM).
On-screen targets may be large, small, bright or faint, dependent on the size of the
object, its orientation and surface. Strongest target returns are displayed in yellow
with weaker returns in two shades of blue. Be aware that the size of a target on screen
is dependent on many factors and may not necessarily be proportional to its physical
size. Nearby objects may appear to be the same size as a distant larger objects.
With experience, the approximate size of different objects can be determined by the
relative size and brightness of the echoes. You should bear in mind that:
The size of each on-screen target is affected by:
• The physical size of the reflecting object.
• The material from which the object is made. Metallic surfaces reflect signals better
than non-metallic.
• Vertical objects such as cliffs reflect signals better than sloping ones such as sand-
banks
• High coastlines and mountainous coastal regions can be observed at longer radar
ranges. Therefore, the first sight of land may be a mountain several miles inland
from the coastline. Although the coastline may be much nearer, it may not appear
on the radar until the vessel is closer to shore.
• Some targets, such as buoys and small boats, can be difficult to discern, because
they do not present a consistent reflecting surface as they bob and toss about in the
waves. Consequently, these echoes tend to fade and brighten and at times, to dis-
appear momentarily.
• Buoys and small boats often resemble each other, but boats can often be distin-
guished by their motion.
6.5 Marking a position on the radar screen

You can mark a position by using a waypoint. Waypoints are positions marked on the
screen as a reference or destination point and are stored in the Waypoint list. They can
also be used to build routes and assist in passage planning.
Waypoints are placed on the radar screen via the WPTS/MOB button in the same way
as they are placed on a chart.
You can edit waypoints and navigate to waypoints in the radar window
For full details on using waypoints and passage planning see Chapter 3:Working with
Waypointsand Chapter 4:Using the Chart.
6.6 Changing what you see in the radar window

The radar screen can be tailored to your particular needs. You can:
• Change how the radar is orientated (see page 126).
• Change where your boat is positioned (motion mode) in relation to the radar (see
page 128).
• Show or hide waypoints (see page 42).
• Show or hide range rings (see page 130).
• Change the bearing mode for EBLs (see page 130).
• Show AIS targets.
Setting the orientation of the radar

The orientation of the radar refers to the relationship between the radar and the
direction that you are travelling in. There are three orientation modes to choose from:
• Head up.
• North up.
• Course up.
These orientation modes are used in conjunction with motion mode (see page 128) to
control how your boat and radar relate to one another and how they are displayed on
screen. Any changes that you make to the orientation of the radar are retained when
you switch off.
Head Up (H-UP)
This is the default mode for the radar application.
e.g:
N
N
Ship's Heading Market (SHM) As your boat's heading changes:
(indicating the boat's current SHM fixed upwards
heading) is upwards Radar picture rotates accordingly
D8398_1
North Up (N-UP)
e.g:
N N
True north at top As your boat's heading changes:

Radar picture fixed (north up)
SHM rotates accordingly
D8399_1
Notes: (1) If heading data becomes unavailable whilst in this mode, a warning
message will be shown, the status bar indicates North-Up in brackets
and the radar uses 0° heading in relative motion. When heading data
becomes available once more, North-Up mode is reinstated.
(2) It is not possible to select Head Up mode when the motion mode is set
to True.
Course Up (C-UP)
e.g:
N N
As your boat's heading changes:

Current course upwards Radar picture fixed
SHM rotates accordingly
D8400_1
If you select a new course, the picture will reset to display the new course upwards.
The reference used for Course-Up depends upon the information available at a given
time. The system always prioritizes this information in the following order.:
1. Bearing from origin to destination, i.e. intended course.
2. Locked heading from an Autopilot.
3. Bearing to waypoint.
4. Instantaneous heading.
Note: If heading data becomes unavailable whilst in this mode, a warning message
will be shown, the status bar indicates the Course Up in brackets and the radar uses 0°
heading in relative motion. When heading data becomes available once more, Course-
Up mode is reinstated.
To select the orientation mode:

PRESENTATION…
ORIENTATION… H-UP N-UP C-UP
D6592-2
The selected motion mode is displayed in the status bar.
Setting the motion mode

The motion mode controls the relationship between the radar and your boat. There are
two modes:
• Relative motion.
• True motion.
The selected motion mode is displayed in the status bar. The default setting is relative
motion with zero offset
Relative motion (RM) with optional vessel offset

When the motion mode is set to Relative, the position of your boat is fixed on the
screen and all the targets move relative to the boat.
You can specify whether the boat is fixed in the centre of the window (0 offset) or offset
by 1/3 or 2/3 to increase the view ahead i.e.
D6842-2
0 offset 1/ offset 2/ offset
3 3
The default mode for the radar application is Relative with zero offset.
To change the vessel offset:

Toggle as required
Note: If no position data is available, the status bar shows the motion mode in brack-

True Motion (TM)

When the motion mode is set to True, fixed radar targets maintain a constant position
and moving vessels (including your boat) travel in true perspective to each other and to
fixed landmasses on the screen. As the boat’s position approaches the edge of the
screen, the radar picture is automatically reset to reveal the area ahead of the boat.
Notes: (1) If heading and position data become unavailable when True motion is se-
lected, a warning message will be shown, the mode will revert to relative
motion and be noted in the status bar in brackets e.g. (TM)
(2) It is not possible to select True Motion when the orientation is set to Head
Up.

Changing the bearing mode for EBLs

The default bearing mode for EBLs is relative to your vessel’s heading. If heading data
is available, you can set the bearing mode to be relative (REL), magnetic/true (M/T).
When M/T is selected, the EBL bearings will be expressed as either true or magnetic
dependant on the equipment connected. The current EBL bearing is expressed on both
the radar screen EBL label and on the ADJUST EBL soft key.

6.7 Getting the best picture

You can improve the quality of the radar picture by using:
• The gain controls - sea, gain, tune, FTC and rain.
• The target display controls - interference rejection, expansion, wakes.
Using the GAIN functions
The gain function reduces the effects of false echoes and clutter.
For the best results Raymarine recommends that you retain the AUTO default setting.
You can however adjust these settings manually if required.
Manually adjusting the gain modes
The sea, gain and tune controls can all be adjusted manually if necessary:
o
SEA SEA
HBR MAN
GAIN GAIN
GAIN 50
AUTO MAN MAN
Adjust
level as
TUNE TUNE required
AUTO MAN
D8406_1
Press to highlight Toggle to manual (MAN)
Note: The new values remain set even when you switch off the display and are applied
to both the active window and any other radar windows.
Sea
Radar echoes from waves around your boat can clutter the centre of the radar picture,
making it difficult to detect real targets (see page 122).
Adjusting the sea mode will reduce this clutter for up to 5 nautical miles (depending on
wave and sea conditions) from your boat. This has the effect of reducing the sea echoes
to intermittent small dots whilst small targets remain visible and persistent. Gain
levels further from your boat remain unchanged. There are three sea gain modes:
• HBR (Automatic Harbor mode) - this takes account of the effects of land clutter so
that small target are not lost. It should be used when you are in harbor or in close
proximity to land.
• OSH (Automatic Offshore mode) - the system continually calculates the required
level of sea clutter control.
• MAN (Manual mode) - this enables you to select the sea clutter level and then
adjust the settings to ensure that all close small targets are visible. On short range
scales, do not set the SEA control so high that all clutter is removed, since this could
stop you seeing echoes from close targets. The acuteness of the sea clutter curve is
set up in the Radar Setup menu (see page 149). Manual sea clutter mode should be
used in conjunction with the GAIN function (described below).
Gain
The gain function makes the radar picture clearer by changing the sensitivity of radar
reception.
• For long ranges - select a sensitivity level that gives a slight speckle in the back-
ground. Be careful not to set the gain too low, or you may miss weak or small tar-
gets.
• For shorter ranges - reduce the gain slightly to reduce the speckle and therefore
improve target definition.
Note: If you set the GAIN to MAN (manual), you should check it every time you change
the range scale.
Tune
The tune function is used to fine tune the receiver in the scanner for maximum target
returns on the display.
Auto mode
In AUTO mode, the radar tunes itself automatically on all range scales. This is the
default and it is recommended that you leave the TUNE function in
AUTO mode, to ensure that the radar receiver is always tuned to
receive the maximum signal.
Manual (MAN) mode

If you do set the TUNE function to MANUAL, you will need to adjust it about 10 minutes
after you have turned on the radar, since the required setting will change after the
magnetron has warmed up. You should adjust the control to obtain the maximum
signal strength (indicated by the eight step horizontal bar.). If you cannot tune the
radar successfully, refer to the Installation Guide.
FTC
You can use the Fast Time Constant (FTC) function to remove areas of clutter at a
distance from your boat or to distinguish between two very close echoes on the same
bearing, which may otherwise merge and appear as one echo
When the FTC function is turned up, only the leading edge of large (rain clutter) echoes
is shown, while the effect on smaller (ship) echoes is only slight. As the receiver is less
sensitive, and background noise and fill-in returns from land and other large targets
reduced, you should turn the FTC function down when its use is not required. Since
storm cells are usually visible for long distances due to their extreme altitude, you may
wish to leave them displayed so that you can observe the location of bad weather.
Note: Use FTC in conjunction with the RAIN function to obtain the best picture.
Rain
Your radar detects echoes from rain or snow. The strength of these echoes is dependent
upon the altitude, range, density and size of the snow flakes or rain droplets and will
appear on screen (see page 123) as countless small echoes continuously changing
size, intensity and position.
Turning the RAIN clutter function on suppresses the bulk effect of rain returns from
around your boat, so that detection of actual targets is made easier.
Using the enhance echoes functions

You can improve visibility with the enhance echoes function.
Interference Rejection
ON
The interference rejection function, which is normally left switched on, automatically
reduces any mutual radar interference when two radar equipped vessels are operating
within range of each other (see page 123).

6.8 Changing the displayed range

You can zoom in or out to view your radar picture at varying scales. The scale is
measured from the centre to the top of the window and is displayed in the left-hand
corner of the status bar.
The scale you will need is dependent upon where you are navigating and the level of
detail that you wish to see:
• Short range scales - provide greater detail of radar echoes close to the vessel,
and are most suited for use as you approach coastlines, habors or other vessels in
the area. The shortest range scale available is 1/8 nautical miles (or the equivalent
in the chosen unit).
• Long range scales - provide the best overview of the vessel’s relationship to
landmasses, weather fronts and large ship targets in or beyond the field of vision.
The longest range scale available is between 24 and 72 nautical miles (or the equiv-
alent in the chosen unit) depending upon the scanner fitted.
The range of the radar is adjusted by pressing the RANGE button.
OUT
RANGE Press IN to decrease the range scale or ‘zoom in’.
IN
D6585-2 Press OUT to increase the range scale or ‘zooms out.
Each press of the button changes the range by one setting. Pressing and holding the
button will change the range quickly in the required direction.
Radar range and chart scale synchronization

The chart application includes an option to synchronize the radar range and chart
scale.
When synchronization is switched on:
• The radar range in all radar windows, changes to match the chart scale.
• ‘Sync’ is indicated in the top left-hand corner of the chart window.
• If you change the radar range, in any radar window, all synchronized chart views
change scale to match.
• If you change the scale of a synchronized chart window, all radar windows change
range to match.
With a chart window active, set the radar range synchronization:

6.9 Measuring distances, ranges and bearings

When you are using the radar application, you can measure distances, ranges and
bearings in a variety of ways. These options are detailed in the table below:
Distances Range from

Functions Bearings
between points your boat
Range Rings Yes (approx.) Yes (approx.) -
Cursor - Yes Yes
Variable Range Markers (VRMs) - Yes -
Electronic Bearing Lines (EBLs) - - Yes
Floating VRMs Yes - -
Floating EBLs Yes
... Using the range rings

Use the range rings to gauge the approximate distances between points. Range rings
are concentric circles displayed on the screen and centred from your boat at pre-set
distances. The number and spacing of the rings changes as you range in and out.
e.g.
Range - 1/4 nm Range - 3/4 nm Range - 11/2 nm
D8407_1
Range rings - 1/8 nm apart Range rings - 1/4 nm apart Range rings - 1/4 nm apart
... Using the cursor

To measure the bearing and range from your boat to a specified target, move the
cursor to the appropriate position on the screen.

D8402_1
Note: If cursor data is not shown, refer to page 180.

... Using VRMs and EBLs
What is a VRM? VRM
A Variable Range Marker (VRM) is a circle

centred on your vessel’s position and fixed
with respect to the heading mode.
When this circle is adjusted to align with a
target, its range from your boat is
measured and displayed on the ADJUST
VRM soft key.
The data is also displayed if you select the
D8408_1
VRM with the cursor.
What is an EBL? EBL
An Electronic Bearing Line (EBL) is a line

drawn from your boat to the edge of the
window.
When this line is rotated to align with a
target, its bearing relative to your boat’s
heading is measured and displayed on the
ADJUST EBL soft key.
The data is also displayed if you select the
D8425_1
EBL with the cursor.
Note: To change the EBL reference from relative to magnetic or true, see page 130.
Combined VRM and EBL VRM Target EBL
A VRM and an EBL can be combined to

measure both the range and the bearing
of the specified target.
D8403_1
Tracking a target with a VRM/EBL

You will be able to tell which way the target is traveling by watching how it moves in
relation to the EBL. If it continues traveling directly along the EBL, it shows that it is on
a possible collision course with your boat - take the appropriate action.
Creating a VRM and/or EBL

You can use the VRM/EBL float function to measure the range and bearing between
any two points on the radar screen. This function allows you to move the VRM/EBL
centre away from your boat’s position and onto a target. You can then change the
radius of the VRM to determine the distance between two points and change the angle
of the EBL, relative to its new origin, to obtain the bearing.

6.10 Using radar to avoid a collision D8432_1
Your radar includes numerous functions to help you avoid a collision. You can:
• Assess how far away a target is and its bearing (VRMs/EBLs).
• Set an alarm to trigger when a target is within a specified zone (Guard Zones).
• Display detailed information on tracked targets (MARPA).
• Display the identity of other vessels and if broadcasted, their voyage information
(AIS).
• Display the range and bearing of a target.
Guard Zones
Guard zones are fixed with respect to the SHM, moving as it moves. They also move if
the centre is offset or the range scale is changed, so that the pre-marked area is
maintained. A guard zone only operates when the whole zone is displayed on the
screen. An audible alarm sounds to alert you when a target enters the zone.
Guard zones are inactive for 10 seconds after being placed or re-sized, to avoid
inappropriate alarms whilst they are being positioned.
You can set up guard zones to be either sector zones or 360° (circular) zones. Your

MARPA
SAFETY NOTICES
MARPA can improve collision avoidance when used wisely. It is the User’s
responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational judgements.
There are conditions where acquiring a target may become difficult. These same
conditions may be a factor in successfully tracking a target. Some of the conditions are:
• The target echo is weak. The target is very close to land, buoys or other large targets.
• The target or your own ship is making rapid manoeuvres.
• Choppy sea state conditions exist and the target is buried in excessive sea clutter or
in deep swells.
• Choppy sea state conditions exist yielding poor stability; own boat’s heading data
is very unstable.
• Inadequate heading data.
Symptoms of such conditions are that acquisition is difficult and the MARPA vectors
are unstable; the symbol wanders away from the target, locks on to another target or
changes to a lost symbol target.
If any of these conditions are present, acquisition and tracking may need to be re-
initiated or, in some cases be impossible to maintain. Improving the quality of the
heading data will reduce the effect of the other conditions.
Introduction to MARPA
You can use the Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) functions for target
tracking and risk analysis. MARPA improves collision avoidance by obtaining detailed
information for up to 10 automatically tracked targets and provides continuous,
accurate and rapid situation evaluation.
MARPA automatically tracks acquired targets, calculates target bearing and range,
speed and course, Closest Point of Approach (CPA), and Time to Closest Point of
Approach (TCPA).
Each target tracked can be displayed with a CPA graphic which shows the target
vessel, course and speed (as a vector) and indicates the CPA. The calculated target
data can also be shown on your screen. Each target is continually assessed and an
audible alarm is sounded if a target becomes dangerous, or is lost.
Effective MARPA operation is dependant on accurate own-ship’s heading and speed.
Speed Over Ground (SOG) and Course Over Ground (COG) information are required to
show true target course and speed. The better the quality of the heading and speed
data, the better MARPA will perform. MARPA will function without SOG and COG in
relative mode. For the best heading data a Raymarine SMART heading sensor or a
gyro-stabilized autopilot is required.
How is a risk assessed?

Each target is monitored to see if it will be within a certain distance from your boat
within a certain time. If so, the target is designated as dangerous and an audible
warning is sounded along with an on-screen warning being shown. The target symbol
changes to the dangerous target symbol and flashes to indicate that it is a dangerous
target. Pressing the appropriate soft key will silence the alarm and remove the
warning.
If a target is lost, either because the MARPA software has lost contact with it, or
because it has moved out of range, an audible alarm is sounded and an on-screen
warning appears. The on-screen symbol will change to the target lost symbol. Pressing
the appropriate soft key will silence the alarm and remove the on-screen warning and
the target lost symbol.
How far from my boat does MARPA work?

MARPA target acquisition is only available at radar range scales of up to 12nm,
although tracking continues at all ranges.
If you change to a smaller range scale, targets may be beyond the range of your
scanner and will be lost. In such cases, an on-screen warning will indicate that the
target is off-screen.
What happens to target data?

All MARPA targets are stored in a MARPA database list which shows the following
information:

Chapter 11: Automatic Identification System (AIS) 167
Chapter 11: Automatic Identification System

(AIS)
11.1 Introduction
This chapter details the AIS system and how it can be used as a safety aid. Once set up
you can overlay the AIS on chart or radar windows and use it to:
• Display a target (with heading/speed vectors and rate of turn) for any other AIS
equipped vessels.
target data.
• View alarm and safety related messages.
11.2 What is AIS?

AIS uses digital radio signals to broadcast ‘real-time’ information between vessels and
shore based stations via dedicated VHF frequencies. This information is used to identify
and track vessels in the surrounding area and to provide fast, automatic and accurate
collision avoidance data. AIS will augment your radar application, as it can operate in
radar blind spots and can detect smaller AIS fitted vessels.
WARNING:
Smaller vessels do not have to be fitted with AIS and whilst it is mandatory
for larger commercial vessels to carry AIS, its use is not. You should not
therefore assume that your AIS will display ALL vessels in your area. Due
prudence and judgement should be exercised.
AIS should be used to complement not substitute radar.

AIS data is defined as Class A or Class B. The sending and receiving of Class A data is
compulsory for larger vessels. You will therefore be able to view all larger vessels on
your AIS display. Class B data is applicable to smaller vessels and is not compulsory.
You should not therefore assume that your AIS is displaying all smaller vessels in your
area.
Note: Not all AIS receivers will decode all information and not all of the Class A vessels
input all of the required AIS data. For example, some inexpensive AIS Class B receivers
do not decode and output the ship’s name, IMO number and vessel draft/beam/length,
destination etc.

Note: To change the specified AIS targets and range see page 173.
11.3 What do I need to run AIS?

In order to run AIS, you will need:
• A receive only unit or a full transponder.
Note: A receiver will allow you to receive data about other vessels in your area but will not
allow other vessels to ‘see’ you. A full transponder transmits and receives AIS data and
therefore allows you to receive data about other vessels and for other AIS equipped vessels
to see and receive information about your vessel. This could include position, course, speed
and rate of turn data.
• A VHF antenna - this is usually supplied with the AIS system.
• A GPS - to provide position data.
• A Compass - although not essential, will improve speed calculations.
When the AIS unit is connected to the C-Series display, the status of the unit is
indicated by an AIS icon in the transducer data box.
You will now need to specify the 38,400 baud for the NMEA port that communicates
with the AIS transceiver or receiver (see page 186).

The AIS system displays other AIS equipped vessels in the surrounding area as
triangular targets overlaid on a chart or radar window. Up to 100 targets are displayed.
As the vessel’s status changes, the symbol for the target will change accordingly.
Vectors can be displayed for each target. These vectors indicate the direction of travel
and rate of turn of the vessel and the distance it will travel over a specified period of
time (COG/SOG vector). Targets displayed with their vectors are referred to as ‘active
targets’ and are scaled according to the size of the vessel. The larger the vessel the
larger the target. You can either display all targets or just dangerous targets (page 176).

11.6 Using AIS for collision avoidance

You can use your AIS for collision avoidance by using the safe zone and safety message
functions.
Safe zones
What is a safe zone?

A safe zone is a ring centred on your boat within which a target is considered
dangerous. It is displayed on radar or chart windows as a red ring.
This AIS safe zone uses the same criteria as MARPA and will deem a target dangerous
if it comes within a specified distance of your vessel (closest point of approach or CPA)
within a specified time (time to closest point of approach or TCPA). The CPA and TCPA
are calculated using COG/SOG and position from the AIS target.
When your system recognizes a dangerous AIS target:
• The target symbol changes to red and flashes.
• An alarm pop-up is displayed.
• An alarm sounds.
Disabling the dangerous target alarm

If required, the dangerous target alarm can be disabled. Once disabled
any dangerous targets that are detected, will turn red and flash but the
D9082_1
alarm will not sound and the pop-up will not be displayed. The AIS
status icon reflects that the alarm is disabled.
Setting up an AIS safe zone

To set up a safe zone around your vessel and specify the time to safe zone:
MARPA & AIS OPTIONS...

VECTOR LENGTH 6min
TARGET MARPA & AIS TARGET HISTORY Off

Note: If required you can also hide the safe zone ring via this menu.
Important
When the AIS receiver is connected and functioning, the system will check for
dangerous targets within the safe zone and if enabled issue an alarm whenever
necessary. Dangerous target alarm operates irrespective of the ON or OFF status of the
AIS target display (see page 176) or the VISIBLE/HIDDEN status of the safe zone ring

Own vessel safe zone

The safe zone is a ring, centred on your boat, within which 0.1 nm, 0.2nm, 0.5nm, 1.0 nm, 2.0nm
a target is considered dangerous if it comes within a spec-
ified distance (CPA).

Safety messages
When the status of the AIS Safety Messages function is set to ON in the AIS Layer Setup
Menu (see page 176), any incoming safety messages from surrounding vessels, shore
stations and mobile stations, are displayed in a pop-up box. If known, the message will
include the sending vessel’s position in lat/lon.
You now have the option to:
• Remove the message (ACKNOWLEDGE)
• Place a waypoint on your chart/radar to mark the sending vessel’s position.
• Select to GOTO the sending vessel’s position.
Note: When the simulator is operating you will not be able to receive any safety mes-
sages.
11.7 AIS Alarms

In addition to the dangerous target alarm previously described, the system generates
an alarm when a dangerous target becomes a lost target i.e. its signal has not been
received for 20 seconds.
Your AIS receiver generates local alarms which are displayed and sounded on your C-
Series display whenever an alarm condition exists on the unit.
Local AIS alarms

When the connected AIS unit generates an alarm, your C-Series displays a local alarm
message and indicates the alarm status in the data bar icon:
AIS Alarm

Important: An alarm remains active until it is acknowledge on the AIS unit.
Active alarm list

The active alarm list shows the status of each local alarm. This list can either be
accessed via the AIS Layer Setup Menu (see page 176) or from the Alarms Setup Menu
(see page 187).
Note: The local AIS alarms must be acknowledged at the AIS receiver. Removing the
message or adding it to the Alarm list on your C-Series display does not cancel the
alarm.
11.8 Simulator
We recommend that you use the simulator to familiarize yourself with the AIS function.
When the system simulator is switched on (see page 184), it displays 20 AIS targets
within a 25nm range. These targets are displayed using the appropriate AIS targets
status symbol (see page 170) and move around the screen as if they were real targets.
Important: Incoming safety messages cannot be displayed while the simulator is
switched on.
11.9 AIS Layer Setup Menu

The AIS Layer Setup Menu allows you to:
• Select the target types displayed (ALL or DANGEROUS).
• Switch the dangerous and lost target alarm warning ON/OFF.
• Switch the display of AIS safety messages ON/OFF.
• View the list of active AIS unit alarms.

Chapter 12: System setup and customizing

This chapter describes how to setup and customize your C-Series display. Any settings
that you change will be stored by the display and shown each time you power on. You
can, of course change these settings as many times as you wish.
12.1 Customizing the page sets

Each page set provides access to 5 different pages. Each page can display up to four
application windows.You can view multiple windows of the same application. For
example you could have two chart application on one page - one to view a large scale
chart, the other for a detailed view of your immediate surroundings.
If none of these meet your particular requirements you can edit the page sets to display
the application and page layout that suits your particular needs. This process should
also be used if you wish to run an engine monitor application.
In addition, you can rename of any of the page sets to a title that is more meaningful.
A control is also provided to reset the selected page set to the factory default
configuration.

Positional accuracy is dependent upon these parameters; in particular, the azimuth

and elevation angles are used in a triangulation process to calculate your position.
Horizontal Dilution of Position (HDOP) is a measure of this accuracy; a higher figure
signifies a greater positional error. In ideal circumstances, the figure should be in the
region of 1.0.
Selecting the satellite differential system
You should select the satellite group(s) appropriate to your area, via the Other Set Up

Chapter 13: Maintenance & Troubleshooting 193
Chapter 13: Maintenance & Troubleshooting

13.1 Introduction
This chapter provides information on maintaining and troubleshooting your C-Series
Display, and also information on how to get assistance from Raymarine.
13.2 Maintenance procedures

At regular intervals, carry out the following servicing procedures:
• Routine checks.
• Cleaning the Display.
Do not attempt any other servicing procedures.
Servicing and Safety

• Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorized Raymarine service
technicians. They will ensure that service procedures and any replacement parts
used will not affect performance. There are no user serviceable parts in any Rayma-
rine product.
• Some products generate high voltages, so never handle the cables or connectors
when power is being supplied to the equipment.
• When powered on, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields. These
can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one another,
with a consequent adverse effect on operation. In order to minimize these effects
and enable you to get the best possible performance from your Raymarine equip-
ment, guidelines are given in the installations manual, to enable you to ensure min-
imum interaction between different items of equipment, i.e. ensure optimum
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
• Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. We use
such information to improve our quality standards.
• In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from being
affected by external influences. Generally this will not damage the display, but it
can lead to spurious re-setting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.
• At the end of the useful working life of this product, it should disposed of in accor-
dance with local regulations.
Routine checks
Carry out the following tasks on a regular basis:
• Examine all cables for signs of damage, such as chafing, cuts or nicks.
• Check that all cables are securely connected.
Cleaning the display

CAUTION: Cleaning the display
Take care when cleaning the display, to avoid damaging it.
(1) Do NOT wipe the display screen with a dry cloth, as this could scratch
the screen coating.
(2) Do NOT use acid, ammonia based or abrasive products.
Regularly clean your Display as follows:
1. Switch off the power to the Display.
2. Wipe the Display with a clean soft cloth. To remove oily finger marks use a spray
cleaning agent of the type used for cleaning eyeglasses.
A suitable micro-fibre cloth is supplied with your display and spray can be purchased
from your local optician.
13.3 Resetting the Display

You can reset the C-Series Display in several ways:
• Settings reset.
• Settings and data reset.

For any Raymarine product or system that (i) has been installed on your vessel by a Raymarine-certified service agent or by
a Raymarine OEM, and (ii) has a MSRP equal to or greater than USD $2,500, you are eligible to receive warranty service by
a Raymarine certified service agent on-board your vessel (‘On Board Warranty Service’) for a period of 12 months from the
date of first purchase of such product or system, or the date of first purchase of the vessel on which such product or system
has been installed (the ‘On Board Warranty Period’). In order to obtain On Board Warranty Service eligible customers MUST:
• (i) within the On Board Warranty Period, and (ii) within thirty (30) days from the date of the alleged
failure giving rise to the warranty claim for which you are requesting On Board Warranty Service,
contact a local Raymarine-certified service agent and request On Board Warranty Service.
• Present to the Raymarine-certified service agent a copy of the original sales receipt for the product,
together with proof of the date of installation of the product by a Raymarine-certified service agent.
The service agent may at its sole option, accept or deny such proof of purchase and proof of
installation as sufficient to qualify you for On Board Warranty Service.
Costs associated with travel, mileage, taxi fares, launch or docking fees, aircraft or vehicle rental, meals, customs, shipping,
communication charges, and service agent travel costs are specifically excluded from coverage under this Warranty and are
your responsibility. In addition, this Warranty does not cover fees associated with hauling, shipping or towing your vessel
to a Raymarine-certified agent.
Upon the expiration of the On Board Warranty Period, you are still eligible to receive standard warranty service for the
remaining term of the Warranty Period, but will not be eligible for continued On Board Warranty Service.
