The cursor is the cross-hair symbol (+) which is used to select a position or item on the chart. The longer the trackpad is pressed, the faster the cursor moves. The current cursor position (in latitude and longitude) is shown in the status bar at the top of the screen. The cursor is context-sensitive. Some items on the screen, such as waypoints and chart objects have information associated with them. When the cursor is placed over such objects, this information is displayed in the status bar. Some items may also have options or settings. If available, these are displayed in a function bar at the bottom of the screen. Note: During many operations the cursor cannot be moved around the screen (while a function bar is displayed, for example) and the cursor is used exclusively for selection. Chapter 1: Overview 3 Dedicated Keys These keys have fixed functions. Some keys can be used in either of two ways: · · Press: Press the key briefly and then release it. This method is used for most key operations. Press and hold: Press the key, keep it pressed for the period of time stated (typically 3 seconds), then release it. When a dedicated key is pressed, one of the following occurs: 1. The associated operation occurs (for example, change chart scale-- RANGE IN/OUT key). 2. A pop-up menu is displayed, providing further options. 3. A set of functions is displayed. Status Bar On the primary chart display, the status bar at the top of the screen provides context-sensitive information. In general operation this will be the scale of the chart, the position of the cursor (lat. and long) and the range and bearing to the cursor. When the cursor is placed over a dynamic object, the status bar will display information appropriate to that object. Function Bar The Function Bar at the bottom of the screen contains a number of functions which change according to the current operation. The functions are grouped into related sets and subsets providing access to the various functions. The primary function bar is displayed when the ENTER key is pressed. The currently selected function is highlighted with a green background. When a function is invoked, one of the following occurs: 1. The associated operation is performed (for example: GOTO WAYPOINT). 2. A sub-set of functions is displayed. 3. A pop-up menu is displayed, providing further options. 4. The appropriate database list (for example, Route or Waypoint) is displayed. 4 RC400 GPS Chartplotter Pop-Up Menus Pop-up menus usually provide various options. When a pop-up menu is on-screen, a set of associated functions is also displayed. Use the trackpad to select an option from the menu, then use the appropriate function to set the option. For example, the radius of the waypoint arrival alarm can be specified or the selected navigation data can be set on/off. Database Lists Waypoints and routes created on the chartplotter are stored in database lists. These lists can be viewed and items selected for editing. As with pop-up menus, when a database list is on-screen, a set of associated soft keys is also displayed; use the trackpad to select an item from the list, then use the appropriate function to edit the item. For example, a Waypoint or a Route can be erased. 1.2 Satellite Differential System The RC400 GPS Antenna utilizes a satellite differential correction system to improve the accuracy and integrity of the basic GPS signals. Three separate compatible systems currently exist or are in development: 1. Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). Developed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the USA. 2. European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS). This system is being developed by a European consortium. 3. The MTSAT Satellite-Based Augmentation System (MSAS). Being developed by the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) for civil aviation use. The area covered by the WAAS system includes the entire United States of America but also extends to a much wider area as detailed below. Chapter 1: Overview 5 135°E 75°N 150°E 165°E 180° 165°W 150°W 135°W 120°W 105°W 90°W 75°W 60°W 45°W 30°W 15°W 0° 15°E 60°N 45°N 30°N 15°N 0° 15°S D4910-1 Figure 1-2: WAAS Coverage Map The combination of the WAAS, EGNOS and MSAS systems will provide global satellite based differential GPS augmentation into the future. How it Works The following description is based on WAAS, but the principles apply equally to the EGNOS and MSAS systems. WAAS comprises the following components: · · · Ground Reference Stations across the USA Master Stations located at East Coast and West Coast Geostationary Satellites located above the equator The Ground Reference Stations are located at known positions and receive data continuously from GPS. The Ground Reference Stations send their data to the Master Stations which calculate the error of the GPS-received positions and generate correctional data. The corrected "differential" signals are then sent to the two Geostationary Satellites which broadcast the corrected data on the standard GPS frequency, making it available to the GPS Antenna. The RC400 GPS uses the correctional data transmitted by the Geostationary Satellites to refine the basic GPS positional data for greater accuracy. 6 RC400 GPS Chartplotter Figure 1-3: The WAAS System Availability of WAAS and EGNOS Signals The WAAS system is presently broadcasting in North America. The RC400 GPS Chartplotter is EGNOS compatible. However, at the time of going to print the EGNOS was still under test. Further information on the WAAS and EGNOS systems can be found at: www.raymarine.com Broadcast Continuation and Accuracy The continuation of the broadcast SD signals is not the responsibility of Raymarine. The navigational accuracy of equipment using these satellite broadcast SD signals is not guaranteed. Chapter 2: Installation 7 Chapter 2: Installation 2.1 Introduction This chapter provides instructions to assist in planning the installation of the RC400 GPS Chartplotter. EMC Installation Guidelines All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment. Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product. For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that when using the ship's power: · Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are: · At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals (for example: VHF radios, cables and antennas.) · More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual. If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be reassembled in the same position. · · 2.2 Unpacking and Inspecting the Components Unpack your RC400 GPS Chartplotter carefully. Retain the carton and packing materials in the event that you need to return the unit for service. Check that you have all the correct system components. 8 RC400 GPS Chartplotter Part Number E33018 R38095 R38096 R38097 -- R38098 R38099 R38100 R38102 81237 Description RC400 GPS Chartplotter Mounting Bracket Base Mounting Bracket Adapter Mounting Knob AA size Ni-MH batteries x 4 Carrying Case Power/NMEA cable 12VDC Cigarette Lighter Adapter RC400 Battery Tray RC400 Handbook Items Missing?

In the default North-Up orientation (shown as NU in the status box at the top of the display), the vessel moves in relation to the screen. You will need to reposition the chart if your vessel moves out of the area currently displayed, or if you wish to examine or place waypoints in another area. You can also home the cursor to the vessel using the FIND SHIP function. "Homing" locks the vessel to the cursor and updates the display such that the chart is re-drawn so that the vessel is always on screen. See Using FIND SHIP below. There are three ways in which you can reposition the chart: · Use the trackpad to move the cursor to the edge of the chart; the chart pans across. This method is useful if the area you wish to see is just off screen. Automatically re-center the vessel using the FIND SHIP function. Change the chart scale using the RANGE OUT key to zoom out and in to a new area. This method is useful if the area you wish to see is some distance away. · · Using FIND SHIP FIND SHIP is used to re-draw the chart with the vessel at its center and the cursor homed on the vessel. To center the vessel: 1. From chart mode, press ENTER; the primary function bar is displayed: FIND SHIP ROUTES WAYPOINTS MORE¬ OBJECT INFO ARCHIVES MORE¬ D6233-1 2. Select FIND SHIP; the following actions are performed: · The chart is re-drawn with the vessel's position in the center. · The cursor is homed onto the vessel position and moves with it. Chapter 3: Getting Started 27 · When the vessel moves near the edge of the chart window, the chart is redrawn with the vessel at the center and the cursor homed on the vessel. · While homed, the status bar indicates position, SOG and COG. · If SCREEN AMPLIFIER is enabled, the screen displays the vessel offset from center, to increase forward visibility, see Chapter 4:Setting Up. 3. To release the cursor from homed mode press the trackpad to move the cursor away from the vessel's current position. The status bar shows the cursor position, range and bearing from the vessel. Changing the Chart Scale The RANGE IN/OUT keys change the chart scale so that a larger or smaller area is shown on the available cartography. Plotter mode is available to allow you to zoom into a smaller area, even when no chart data is available for that scale. To enable plotter mode, see Chapter 4:Setting Up. You can change the chart scale for two purposes: · · To see either a smaller area (in more detail) or a larger area (in less detail) To move the display to another area of the chart, by zooming out to a small scale chart, then zooming in to another location Each time you press the RANGE IN or RANGE OUT keys, the chart scale changes to the next available setting.
