For full display and control between hsb2 series display units, the units must be connected via hsb2 and SeaTalk. 1-4 hsb2 PLUS Series Color LCD Display 1.1 General The hsb2 (PLUS) series Pathfinder Radar or Pathfinder Radar/Chartplotter comprises the 7" or10" LCD display unit, scanner unit and associated cables. The RC530 PLUS and RC631 PLUS Chartplotters cannot be connected to the scanner unit. General General Display Unit The hsb2 (PLUS) series display unit is waterproof to CFR46 and can be installed either above or below deck. The unit includes: · 7" or 10.4"colorLCD PLUS display · Trackpad · Eleven dedicated (labeled) control keys · Four soft keys (unlabeled) whose functionality changes · The combined Pathfinder Radar/Chartplotter includes two slots for the CMAP NT® chart cards The display and keys can be illuminated for night-time use. Scanner The hsb2 series Pathfinder Radar is supplied with a scanner unit which illuminates targets with microwave energy and then collects the returns from those targets. The scanner includes a sensitive low-noise front end receiver, and a variety of clutter attenuation controls to maintain target resolution. The scanner is adjusted and operated from the display unit, so these details are provided in this Handbook. It can be switched between transmit and stand-by modes. It also has a power-saving timed transmit mode which pauses between bursts of transmissions. Installation of the scanner is described separately in the Scanner Owner's Handbook. Introduction to hsb2 Systems It is possible to connect up to ten hsb2 (PLUS) series LCD or CRT displays (dependent on cable lengths) and a scanner unit to provide an integrated system. The system may include existing HSB display units that have been suitably upgraded - contact your authorized Raymarine dealer for upgrade kit details. The hsb2 (High Speed Bus) connection enables transfer of data between compatible units. For example, radar data is transferred from the radar (the Chapter 1: Overview 1-5 In particular, you can connect your Radar to a remote Chartplotter (or Fishfinder/Chartplotter) to provide similar functionality to the combined Radar/Chartplotter (or Fishfinder/Chartplotter). However, you should be aware that if you change, say, radar range on one display, it affects all displays showing radar (or radar/chart overlay on color displays). The hsb2 system can include several chartplotter displays, each with two chart cartridge slots. Each display can access two local and up to six remote chart cartridges. Charts can be controlled independently on each display, even when a remote chart cartridge is being used.

Operating Modes Operating Modes Multi-display systems If you have several hsb2 series Radar and Chartplotter displays connected operation is similar to acombined Pathfinder Radar/Chartplotter Unit: four full-screen modes ­radar, chart, radar/chart overlay (color displays only) and data log are available on all displays. In addition, if you have an hsb2 series Fishfinder display connected, you can set any display to fishfinder mode; if the system includes a chartplotter, similar functionality to a combined Fishfinder/Chartplotter is available on all displays. On an hsb2 system with Radar, Chart and Fishfinder available, the following information can be shown on any display unit: Table 1-2: Window Options for Integrated Systems Half-screen Window Options CDI, BDI, Nav Data, Fishfinder or Radar CDI, BDI, Chart or Nav Data Depth/temp, Chart or CDI, BDI Windows not available Windows not available Full-screen mode Chart Mode, Radar Mode Fishfinder Mode Radar/Chart Overlay Data Log Mode For details on the fishfinder, refer to the hsb2 Series Display Owner's Handbook supplied with your fishfinder. Chapter 1: Overview 1-9 Full functionality of the radar/chartplotter is achieved when it is part of an integrated system with other equipment (in addition to another hsb2 unit) connected via SeaTalk or NMEA 0183. Data from this equipment including position and heading is shown on the display and is used in calculations. Details on connecting other equipment are given in Chapter 8. Providing Heading Data for Radar/Chart Overlay and MARPA The performance of MARPA and Radar/Chart Overlay is dependent on the quality of your heading sensor. It is important that both the heading sensor and the radar scanner (bearing alignment) are correctly calibrated. Refer to the appropriate heading sensor and radar scanner handbooks for calibration details. The better the accuracy of your heading data, the better the performance of MARPA and Radar/Chart Overlay. A gyro compass provides the best performance in all conditions. Alternatively you could use a fluxgate compass with rate gyro stabilization. MARPA requires heading data to be frequently updated (we recommend a data output rate of greater than 8 Hz); heading data must therefore be provided to the display on NMEA. In multiple-display systems, heading must be connected, via NMEA, to each display that will be used for MARPA. We recommend the Pathfinder Smart Heading System (which includes the Gyro Plus 2 unit). Good results are also obtained with a Raymarine autopilot system incorporating a 150G or 400G Course Computer with internal rate gyro. Other heading sensors connected on NMEA may provide satisfactory results in reasonable sea states. However, in unsettled conditions a rate gyro compass is advisable. Contact Raymarine Customer Services or your authorized Raymarine dealer for additional information. For specific configuration details with the Raymarine course computer refer to Appendix E. If you are using a suitable third party heading sensor, refer to its documentation for installation and calibration details. Heading and Position Data Heading and Position Data 1-10 hsb2 PLUS Series Color LCD Display 1.2 The Pathfinder Radar PLUS Display When a scanner is connected and the radar is in Transmit mode, the radar picture provides a map-like representation of the area in which the radar is operating. Typically, your ship'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). The radar picture can be viewed with a variety of fixed or customised range scales. The color of the radar returns (echoes) indicates their intensity: the strongest returns are shown in yellow and the weaker are shown in shades of blue. A status bar at the top of the radar image displays range, current heading and mode indicators for the various options you can set. An example radar picture is shown on the next page, with example radar returns (echoes) and default Pathfinder Radar information. The Status Bar is also illustrated. The radar display can show additional information, depending on your currently selected options, set up selections and the data available from other equipment. The example displays on the following pages show some of these features. Functions are available to control the display as follows: · Zoom the Display · Offset your vessel from the centre of the radar picture Operation of these functions is described in Chapter 2. The Pathfinder Radar The Pathfinder Radar PLUS Display Pathfinder Radar PLUS Display Options In addition to the display set up options previously described, radar set up options allow you to customise the radar image by selecting how radar marks and Electronic Bearing Line (EBL) data are displayed. You can also specify timed transmit mode and custom range scales. The Screen Presentation Options, described in Chapter 2 allow you to switch range rings on/off and waypoint display on/off.

Chapter 1: Overview 1-13 The PLUS series display can includes a Chartplotter. The chartplotter includes a small-scale world map and detailed navigation information is displayed when a cartographic chart card is installed. The details displayed depend on the chart zoom level selected. A plotter mode is provided to enable route plotting and tracking at large scales even when a chart card is not installed, or when the chart is zoomed beyond the available cartographic detail. A typical chartplotter screen is shown in Figure 1-5. The chartplotter uses position information from a GPS, DGPS, WAAS or Loran-C instrument. Once the position fix has been established, your vessel's position, if on screen, is shown as a boat shape pointing in the direction of the current heading (or COG if heading data is not available). If no heading or COG data is available, the vessel is shown as a circle. The chartplotter screen includes a status bar that displays chart scale, with either cursor position, range and bearing or, when the cursor is homed to the vessel (by pressing FIND SHIP), vessel position, Speed Over Ground (SOG), Course Over Ground (COG) and fix type (VES POS, DIF FIX or SD FIX). The status bar also indicates if radar/chart overlay is switched on. Any waypoints you have placed are displayed (unless you turned them off in Chart Set Up as described in Chapter 7) and the current route is shown. Information can be viewed on-screen by positioning the cursor over a waypoint, current route or chart object. The chartplotter screen can also show additional information, depending on your currently selected options, set up selections and data available from other equipment. An example chart display, in its default configuration, with a chart card installed, is shown in the following illustration. Several functions are available to control the display as follows: · Zoom in/out and Pan the Display · Offset the Chart or Center the Chart around the Vessel · Overlay Radar Targets onto the Chart Display · Synchronize the Chart and Radar (if radar data is available) Operation of these functions is described in Chapter 2.

CUSTOM: Spot sounding, light sectors, marine features. 1-16 hsb2 PLUS Series Color LCD Display 1.4 Operating Controls You operate the radar and chart using a variety of controls: · A trackpad providing up, down, left, right and diagonal control of an onscreen cursor. · Eleven dedicated (labeled) control keys. · Four soft keys with labels displayed on the screen. · Pop-up menus, displayed on-screen, from which you select options. · Database lists, displayed on-screen, which enable you to edit items. Note: The cursor is the cross-hair symbol (+) visible on the display. You move the cursor using the trackpad and use it to select a position or item on the chart. The control keys are shown in Figure 1-6. They are back-lit for night-time use. When you use a control, a help message is displayed at the top of the screen (unless you switch help off as described in Chapter 7). The following paragraphs describe the controls and on-screen facilities. Operating Controls Operating Controls Dedicated keys Trackpad Soft keys Dedicated keys D3596-3 Figure 1-6: LCD Display Control Keys Trackpad and Cursor The trackpad has several functions: · To move the cursor around the screen · To select an item from a pop-up menu · To adjust a variable soft key control Chapter 1: Overview 1-17 · Select a position on the screen. · Select an item, e.g.guard zone on the radar, chart object on the chartplotter. · Select an area of the radar image to zoom into or pan the chart display.. Moving the Cursor You can press on any of the four sections of the trackpad to move the cursor in that direction (up, down, left or right), or press two sections at the same time to move diagonally. The cursor moves faster as you continue to press the trackpad. The current cursor position is shown in the cursor data box (if selected). The cursor is normally displayed as a crosshair. However, if you have not moved the cursor for more than five seconds, when you next move it the cursor is outlined by a circle so it is easier to locate on the screen. Note: During many operations you cannot move the cursor around the screen; if you cannot move the cursor using the trackpad, check the default soft keys are displayed (unless they have been switched OFF in system set up). If not, press ENTER until they are displayed. Context-Sensitive Cursor Control The cursor is context-sensitive. When the cursor is positioned over special features on the display a text label appears to identify the feature as detailed in Table 1-3 . Moving and deleting items with the context-sensitive cursor Some items on the radar/chartplotter screen have information associated with them. Most information is displayed in a data box. The context-sensitive cursor allows you to move databoxes. It also allows you to move or delete other items, such as radar guard zones. Further details of items that can be moved or deleted are given in the appropriate sections throughout this handbook. To move any data box or selectable item: 1.

Chapter 2: Getting Started & Adjusting the Display 2-1 Chapter 2: Getting Started & Adjusting the Display This chapter provides information and instructions to get you started using your display. It will help you to become familiar with the display and the functions of the controls before you start using the unit. More detailed information on operating the radar display is provided in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4. Chartplotter operating details are given in Chapter 5 and Chapter 6. Introduction 2.1 Introduction Conventions Used Throughout this handbook, the dedicated (labelled) keys are shown in bold capitals; for example, MENU. The soft key functions, menu names and options are shown in normal capitals; for example, SCREEN. Operating procedures, which may consist of a single key-press or a sequence of numbered steps, are indicated by a symbol in the margin. When the procedure requires you to press a soft key, the soft key icon is shown in the margin. Simulator The display unit includes a simulator function, that allows you to practice operating your radar or Chartplotter without data from the scanner or GPS system. You will need to use the set up options to switch the display to simulator mode, as described in Section 2.2. You can use it in either of two ways: · Before the display unit has been installed on your vessel. In this case, you only need to connect the display to a 12V or 24V DC power supply, connecting the red core from the power lead to positive (+) and the black core to negative (-). See Chapter 8 for full details. · After the display has been installed on your vessel, but while in the marina or at anchor. The following section, Section 2.2, includes instructions to view simulated radar and chart images. 2-2 hsb2 PLUS Series Color LCD Display 2.2 Switching the Display On and Off If you have a combined Radar/Chartplotter, the factory default power-up mode is radar. Once you have used the display unit it powers-up in the last used mode. The following sections describe the power-up sequence in radar and chart modes, how to adjust the lighting and how to select simulator mode. Switching the Display On and Off Radar Mode This section explains how to switch the radar display and scanner on and off, and how to switch the scanner between Transmit, Standby and Scanner Off mode. You normally operate your radar in transmit mode, but you can use the display unit without the scanner operating as follows: Standby mode: You should use this mode when you are not operating the radar for short time periods. The scanner does not transmit and the antenna does not rotate, so the radar uses less power. However, the scanner remains powered so when you return to transmit mode, the magnetron does not need to warm up. Scanner off mode: You should use this mode when you do not require the radar, but you are using the display unit say, for chart data or to view data from another source. Scanner off mode removes power from the scanner. To switch the display on, press and hold the POWER key until the unit beeps. If the unit was last used in Radar mode, the keys light up, the display shows the Pathfinder graphic, followed by the start-up information illustrated below, and the radar starts the magnetron warm-up sequence. WARMING UP Figure 2-1: Switching on the Radar Display Chapter 2: Getting Started & Adjusting the Display 2-3 After 70 seconds, when the magnetron warm-up sequence is complete, the Standby screen is displayed, with the text STANDBY and a prompt to press the POWER key to enter Transmit mode. Switching the Display On and Off To switch the radar scanner from Stand-by mode to Transmit mode, press the POWER key. The scanner transmits pulsed energy while it rotates, and the antenna sweep builds up the radar picture using echoes returned from targets. Figure 2-2: Radar Transmit Mode You can switch on and adjust the display backlighting as described later in this chapter. To switch to Stand-by mode, press the POWER key. The display returns to the Stand-by screen, and the scanner transmission and rotation stops. To use Scanner off mode: 1. Ensure that the radar is in Standby mode, warming up, or (if the unit is a Repeater) displaying a message that radar data is not available. 2. Press the CLEAR key. The message STANDBY. RADAR DATA NOT AVAILABLE appears in the radar picture. The scanner is powered down and the timer, if running, is cleared. To return to radar operation, press the POWER key. The warm-up countdown is displayed and the radar goes into Standby mode. You press POWER again to switch to Transmit mode when required. 2-4 hsb2 PLUS Series Color LCD Display Chart Mode To switch the display on, press and hold the POWER key until the unit beeps. If the display was last used in chartplotter mode, the keys light up and the Raychart graphic is displayed, followed by the caution: CAUTION: Raychart chart displays are based on cartographic data that C-MAP believes to be accurate. However, you should not rely on these displays as your primary source of navigation. Rather, your Raychart should be used only as a backup to official government charts and traditional methods of navigation. When you have read and understood the caution, press the CONTINUE soft key. The chart is displayed. If this is the first time the chartplotter has been turned on, and no chart card is installed, the display shows the small-scale world map and the default soft keys. Otherwise, the display shows the selected chart area and any data that were displayed when the display was last used. Switching the Display On and Off Until unit beeps D4277-2 Figure 2-3: Switch On - Chart Mode Switch Off CAUTION: To provide protection against the damaging effects of UV light, it is advisable to replace the sun cover provided when the color LCD display is not in use. A reminder is displayed when you switch off the color LCD display. To switch the scanner and display unit off, press and hold the POWER key for three seconds. A countdown timer is displayed as shown below: Chapter 2: Getting Started & Adjusting the Display 2-5 GAIN DISPLAY VRM/EBL MARKS MULTI Countdown timer: number of seconds to power off POWER OFF IN 3s ALARMS RANGE POWER ENTER CLEAR MENU 3 SECONDS D3599-1 Figure 2-4: Switch Off When the counter reaches zero a beep sounds, and the display unit switches off. Release the POWER key. Note: Switch the display unit off before you remove the power cord. Note: You do not need to change to Standby mode before turning off the display: if you turn the radar display off while it is in Transmit mode, the scanner is also de-activated. Simulator Mode When simulator mode is on a simulator data box is displayed. When the display is switched off then on again, simulator mode is maintained. It is recommended that you select the System Set Up Menu and switch off simulator mode when you have finished. MENU
