PDF compression, OCR, web-optimization with CVISION's PdfCompressor 77 PCF OFFSET The GPS navigation system relies on complex mathematical calculations to determine your position based on satellite data and otherfactors. One factor is the Earthsshape. Sincethe Earth is not atruesphere, variations in the calculations have to be made to accommodate deviations. To make matters more complex, not everyone uses the same data to determine whatthe deviations are. Thesizeandshape of the ellipsoids that are used to approximate the earth's surface are improved often. This can lead to errors if your navigation device uses one ellipsoid, whileyour chart uses a differentone. The term used for these ellipsoids is "Datum." To reduce the errorfactor between datum, this unitgives youthecapability to moveor "offset" the position shown onthe display to match the one on the chart. The unitwill add this offset to all position displays at all times. Remember, the GPS error is very dynamic and the PCF offset should never be used in an attempt to cancel the error. In general terms this feature should only be used if your map indicates what the possible error is. Thisfeatureshould always be reset to zero (0) whenfinishedwith that chart. INTRODUCTION The UltraNav II is a high quality, wide screen combination sonar and differntial ready OPS receiver with performance that is secondto none in its class. Using menu featuresand "soft-key" operation, the UltraNav II is also one ofthe easiest-to-use products that Eagle haseverbuilt.Thewide "UltravisionTM"screen shows the underwater world with high resolution and detail. The display and keyboard are also lighted for night operation. Installing an optional ST-T speed/temperature sensor, gives digital boat speed, surface watertemperature, and distance travelled (log) displays. Readthis manual and takeitwith youthe firstfew timesyou useyour unit. It makes a great reference if you need it. MOUNTING Install the UltraNav II in any convenient location, provided there is clearance behind the unitwhenit istiltedforthe bestviewingangle.Holes in the bracket baseallowwoodscrew orthrough-boltmounting. You may need to placea piece of plywood on the back of thin fiberglass panels to secure themounting hardware. Make certain thereis enoughroom behind the unitto attach the power and transducer cables. For example, suppose you are stopped at a locationthat is accurately marked on a chart. Your unit shows a longitude position that is .010 degrees less than the one on the chart. Using the Position Correction Factor (PCF)Offsetfeature,youmake the unitreadthesameas thechart. If you move, the unit will continuously add the change to all position displays. Thismakes it moreclosely match the datum LAT OFFSET: N.:,C!PiJO1I1OC. used by the chart. Forthis reaLOll OFFSET: son,you should becareful when entering the PCF offset. This offset is saved in memory.

For the best results, attach the power cable directly to the battery. You canattach the power cable to an accessory or power buss, however you may have with electrical interference. Therefore, ifs saferto go ahead and problems attach the powercable direotlytothebattery. Ifthe cable istoo short, splice #18 gaugewire onto it. The powercablehasfour wires; red, black, green, and white. Red is the positive lead, black is negative or ground. Make certainto attach thein-linefuseholdertothered leadas closetothe power sourceas possible. Forexample, if you haveto extend the powercableto thebatteryorpower buss, attach one end of the fuse holder directlytothe batteryor power buss.Thiswill protect both theunitandthepowercable in the eventof ashort. The UltraNav II usesa 3-ampfuse.Thereis reverse polarity protection built into the UltraNav II. If the power wires are connectedbackwards, no damage will occurto the unit. Do not use this productwithouta 3-amp fuse wired into the powercable! Failureto use a 3-ampfuse will void your warranty. sensor's installation manual formounting instructions. Route temperature the sensor's cable to the UltraNav Il's power cable and plug it into the connectormarked "SPEED/TEMP CABLE' IMPORTANT! The plotter display automatically shows a .1 mile display in the Man Overboard mode. Your position when the Marl Overboard key was pressed is shown by the "S' with a circle and by the waypoint icon with a "0" Steerto the waypoint flagto get backto the position saved when the Man Overboard key was pressed. IMPORTANT! The UltraNav II doesn't save the Man Overboard position in thewaypoint table. However, it does save the position on the Man Overboard screen. The UltraNav II always shows navigation datato the position shownon the Man Overboard screen whenever the Man Overboard key is pressed. To stopthe unitfromnavigating totheMan Overboard position, press the key next to the "DISABLE MOB" label. This resets the Man Overboard navigtion. Ifyou'reinstalling an optional speed/temperature sensor, read thespeed/ TOP" CONNECTOR ON ULTRANAVII For example, suppose youare viewing the Position screen, and youpress the Man Overboard key, then press the OPS key. The UltraNav II first displaysthen stores your present position on the Man Overboard screen, thenswitchesbacktothe Position screen. Ifyoupressthe Man Overboard key again, it will still show navigation data tothe position youwere in when you first pressed the Man Overboard key - not your present position. Repeated pressing of the Man Overboard key does not repeatedly save yourpresentposition!The unitonlysavesthe position thefirsttimethe Man Overboard key is pressed. To save a new Man Overboard Dostion. you must first clear the old Dosition by pressing the key adiacent to the "DISABL MOB" label. You can navigate to a waypoint using the Waypoint Recall feature, howeverwhenyou go backto theMan Overboard screen, the UltraNavIl stops navigating to the recalled waypomnt. Remember, saving the victim is the primarygoal.Try all options to rescue the person immediately afterthe accidenthappens. Training and educationare also good accident preventatives. TheCoastGuardhas excellent safety courses. Instruct all members on board your boat on safety procedures before leaving the dock. Make certain all on board know what to do beforeany emergency occurs.

All units will be returned to their factorysettings. The white wire is for a NMEA interface. The UltraNavII sends data to anotherelectronic navigation devices throughthe whitewire. The green wire is for a differential GPS (DGPS) receiver input. If the white and green wires are not used, tape their ends so that they cannotshort. To connect a device to the UltraNav's NMEA output (white wire); attach a two-wire shielded cable from the other device's NMEA intput to the white and black wires on the UltraNav il's powercable. Solderthe shield to the black wire on the power cable. Do not connect the shield to the otherdevice. See theotherinstrument's manual for morewiring instructions. Use the same procedure to connectthe DGPS receivers outputto the green and black wires on the UltraNav II. Note: The shielded wire is not absolutelynecessary, howeverit is best to use it due to the high electrical noise levels found in today's marine environments. To avoid problems later, we highly suggestthat you use shielded wires whenever making a communications connection between two instruments. See the NMEA section in the GPS section in this manual for more information. GPS MODULE INSTALLATION MAN OVERBOARD Oneof boating's mostterrifying events is having afriendorfamily member fall overboard. Thissituation can be deadly on anybody of water,fresh or salt. It's particularly dangerous at night or if you'reout of sight of land. Of course, the first thing to do is remain calm and try all standard safety measures to tryand rescuetheperson.
