[. . . ] CPV350 GPS Chart Plotter with VHF FM Marine Transceiver OWNER'S MANUAL WARNING!!!Electronic charts displayed by the CPV350 are believed to be accurate and reliable, but that are not intended to be a substitute for the official charts, which should remain your main reference for all matters related to the execution of safe navigation. For this reason we would like to remind you that you should carry on board and use the official published and approved nautical charts. FCC NOTICE This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. [. . . ] This offset is useful for cruising vessels or vessels that travel internationally often. Bearings Figure 14. 1 - Compass Table 14. 2 INPUT/OUTPUT (NMEA) The GPS chartplotter has 2 NMEA inputs and 3 NMEA outputs. 14. 3 ALARMS This menu is used to select and setup audible and visual Alarms. Available alarms are Arrival, XTE, Depth, Anchor and Grounding Alarm. Arrival Alarm XTE Alarm Depth Alarm : Alerts when the vessel is approaching a single destination point or when arriving at a leg in a Route. : Alerts when the received depth Value from the optional FF520 50/200kHz BLACK BOX FISH FINDER or Depth Finder inputting NMEA data into the GPS chartplotter is lower than the selected value. : Alerts when the ships moves off a selected locations by a selected distance. Available selections: 0. 00 to 9. 99NM. Anchor Alarm Page 72 CPV350 Audible Alarm : Enables or disables the alarm beep. Grounding Alarm : This function looks ahead of the vessels heading to see if a potential danger exists. When the Grounding Alarm is enabled the GPS chartplotter will draw a triangle in front of the vessel on the Chart page showing the area that is being searched as shown below. The depth and range (distance) of the area the GPS chartplotter looks ahead for a shallow area can be set using this function. The following warning appears when the Grounding Alarm is enabled: NOTES The Grounding Alarm function only operates with the new NT+/MAX C-CARDs. When any of the objects checked are found for the first time, the GPS chartplotter shows a pop up window to alert the user of the possible danger. The name of each new dangerous object found is reported in the warning window. In the Grounding Alarm Report page the relative item has a tick marker next to it, to identify the dangerous object currently detected. If in the next search cycle the same objects are found again, the alarm window will not be shown. Instead, if in the next searches the objects found before are no longer detected, their relevant item in the Grounding Alarm Report page is cleared (note that in this case, if the same object type is found again later, the Alarm will be shown). The GPS chartplotter shows an icon on the charts that identifies when a Grounding Alarm is detected. a. Ground Alarm Range : Allows setting the distance of the grounding alarm zone. When a depth or a object is found in the scanned zone area a marker is printed in the Grounding Alarm Report Page to identify which dangerous objects have been currently detected. Grounding Alarm Report : Displays a report of dangerous objects found. CPV350 Page 73 15. It has been introduced to improve the safety of navigation by assisting in the efficient operation of ship-to ship, ship reporting and VTS applications. The system should enable operators to obtain information from the ship automatically, requiring a minimum of involvement of ship's personnel, and should have a high level of availability. AIS transponders installed on IMO vessels use VHF frequencies to: Transmit details of their own vessel Receive details from other vessels or navigation aids within VHF range. Information being transmitted from vessels over 300 tons that, due to recent worldwide legislation, are required to fit Class "A" AIS transponders. [. . . ] It is planned that DSC will eventually replace aural watches on distress frequencies and will be used to announce routine and urgent maritime safety information broadcasts. DST (Distance) ­ The distance from your current position to a Destination point. ETA ­ Estimated Time of Arrival GPS Constellation ­ The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radionavigation system consisting of a constellation of satellites and a network of ground stations used for monitoring and control. A minimum of 24 GPS satellites orbit the Earth at an altitude of approximately 11, 000 miles providing users with accurate information on position, velocity and time anywhere in the world and in all weather conditions.
