6.1 AC breaker
The ECDIS DPU is protected by electronic circuits and a resettable breaker. The breaker will pop
out if one of the following events happens
Over voltage
Permanent under voltage
Excessive input current
Internal power supply failure
It is safe to push the breaker in if it has popped out (if it pops out right away wait at least one
minute before pushing it in again)
DBS11426-23 Page 16/31

6.2 Status LED’s

6.2.1 CPU status LED
Off or constant Blue: The computer for the ECDIS software is in standby or without power. If the

DBS11426-23 Page 19/31

7.1 Menu
You will be able to do the following:
Info: Double click on the menu to select the function.

 Monitor reconfiguration.
If the monitor needs to be replaced with a different type, this menu can be used to change
the monitor type of the system.
 USB hardware key management.

Use this menu if you need to replace the USB hardware key in the system. You can also use
this function to change the role of the hardware key (primary/secondary/independent). See
section 7.3”USB hardware keys” for further details.
 Mouse/Trackball configuration.
You can adjust the speed of the mouse/track in the menu. This is relevant if you have
replaced the keyboard (with integrated trackball) with a keyboard of a different type.
 Manually set time/date.

Use this menu to set the BIOS time of the system manually.
 Software update.
This menu is used for updating the software of the system. Only software updated made and
signed by Danelec Marine A/S can be installed. Software update requires the ECDIS to be
restarted. See section 7.4 “Install software update” for further details.
 Restart.
ECDIS computer restart - this will not affect the I/O-interface.
 Dump-for-support.
A dump-for-support file is generated, and saved to a removable device.
DBS11426-23 Page 20/31

7.2 Management of USB hardware Keys

It may be necessary to reset or change roles of a USB hardware key if one of the existing hardware
keys is replaced.
In most cases this will be handled automatically by the system, but in cases where a USB hardware
key has been used as primary key in another ECDIS cluster, the hardware key needs to be changed.
To change a primary key into a secondary key in the current cluster, it must first be made
independent. After this it will automatically be made a secondary key in the cluster.
By opening the USB hardware key management panel, you can inspect all the hardware keys in the
cluster. You can only modify the role of the local hardware key.
 Make primary key

Use this button to make the local USB hardware key the primary hardware key in the
cluster. There may only be one primary hardware key in a cluster, so it is not possible to
make a hardware key primary if another primary key already exists.
 Make independent key
Use this button to change a USB hardware key back to an independent key. This can be used
if a hardware key has been used as a primary key in another ECDIS cluster.
DBS11426-23 Page 21/31

7.3 USB hardware keys

The USB hardware key contains the USERPERMIT for the charts. If no hardware key is inserted, it
is not possible to view imported charts. The hardware key can be used in two configuration types.
Stand-alone configuration and Cluster configuration
7.3.1 Stand-alone configuration

Stand-alone configuration is used if only one ECDIS is installed. In this configuration the USB
hardware key exclusively controls the USERPERMIT in the ECDIS. If the hardware key is replaced
with another hardware key, the ECDIS adopts the USERPERMIT from the new hardware key. This
will render the installed charts and permits useless, and new chart permits must be installed.
7.3.2 Cluster configuration

Cluster configuration is used when more than one ECDIS is installed. In this configuration one of
the USB hardware keys is selected as the primary key. The remaining ECDIS will adopt
USERPERMIT from the primary hardware key. It is possible later on to change which hardware
key is the primary key. This is probably undesirable as it will render the installed charts and permits
useless, and new chart permits must be installed.
If the primary USB hardware key is removed or becomes faulty, the remaining ECDIS in the cluster
continues to work and uses the primary key‘s USERPERMIT for a period of 3 months. A faulty
primary USB hardware key must be replaced as soon as possible to ensure continued operation of
the ECDIS.
7.4 Install software update

The software for the ECDIS may need to be updated. Section 7.5 “Software Version” describes
how to verify if a newer software version is available.
IMPORTANT: Only install updates when in Port. Installation of software updates while at
sea may compromise the operational safety of the vessel.
To install a software update open the management menu and select “Software Update”
Select the installation packet (.mbp). The packet can be loaded from a CD/DVD or a USB stick.
DBS11426-23 Page 22/31

Click on [Start Update].
Click [Yes]. The update process starts.
After completion of the update the following is shown:
When clicking [OK] the ECDIS will restart, and the the update is completed.
7.5 Software Version

The ECDIS system version is displayed in the “System Information panel”.
Open Main Menu  Settings  System  System Information
To verify that the latest available version is installed, see the sections below:
DBS11426-23 Page 23/31

7.6 Verification of System Software Version

The system software on the ECDIS must be kept updated. Information about available versions,
release status and compliance status can be found on the website: http://www.danelec-marine.com
In the ECDIS section of the site, look for the “ECDIS software information and compliance status”.
The page shows the released software versions, and a list of standards the software/ECDIS version
complies with.
Verify that the software version (see previous section) matches the “System software version” in the
document.

c. the chart scale is larger than 1:16 500.

6. Open the shortcut menu Main Menu  Shortcuts
7. First, set contrast to a maximum, and brightness to a minimum. Look at the black-adjust symbol.
8. Then if the center square is not visible, turn up the brightness until it just appears.
9. Or, if the center square is clearly visible (with contrast at maximum, brightness at minimum),
turn the contrast down until the inner square disappears, then turn contrast back up until the
inner square is just visible again.
10. If the above adjustment is not successful, select a more appropriate chart display palette and
repeat this procedure.
11. The "black level" is then correctly set. If a brighter display is required, use the contrast control,
but preferably do not adjust the controls unless lighting conditions on the bridge change.
After the “black level” has been set, you can proceed with the color test. For the test you need to
display the color differentiation diagram in the chart view.
12. Repeat steps 1-3, but instead open cell ”AA5C1WOO”. The cell contains the color
differentiation test diagram is shown.
13. The diagram consists of twenty squares extending over the whole of a 350x270 mm
(approximately) screen. Each square is colored with one of the four main background area
shades (such as shallow water blue, DEPVS), and each carries a two-pixel wide diagonal line in
one of the important line or symbol foreground colors (such as planned route red, PLRTE).
14. The color differentiation test consists of being able to distinguish the background colors and to
pick out the like foreground colors, i.e. to say that squares 3, 5, 11, 15, 18 and 20 all have a
shallow water blue background, and that squares 3, 10 and 17 have a grey line.
