Installation and Operation Manual

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

related to the execution of a safe navigation. For this reason we would like to remind you that you are required to carry on board and use the officially published and approved nautical chart.

Please read through this manual before the first operation. If you have any questions, please contact the customer service or your local dealer or distributor Extensive exposure to heat may result in damage to the chart plotter. Connection to the power source with reversed polarity will damage the chart plotter severely. This damage is not covered by the warranty. Do not disassemble. The chart plotter contains dangerous high voltage circuits which only experienced technicians must handle Exposure of the display to UV rays may shorten the life of the liquid crystals used in you plotter. This limitation is due to the current technology of the LCD display. Avoid overheating which may cause loss of contrast and, in extreme case, a darkening of the screen. Problems which occur from over heating are reversible when temperature decreases.

Screen Cleaning Precautions

Cleaning your chart plotter screen is a very important operation and must be done carefully. The following is the cleaning procedure. You use a tissue or lens tissue and a cleaning spray containing lsopropanol (a normal spray cleaner sold for PC screens. Fold the tissue or lens tissue into a triangular shape, moisten the tip and use the index finger behind a corner to move the tissue across the surface, in overlapping side to side strokes. If the tissue is too wet, a noticeable wet film will be left in its path and you will need to repeat the process. If too dry, the tissue won’t glide easily, and may damage the surface.

If you require technical advice or assistance, contact your nearest Plastimo office or visit our website, www.advansea.com.

Electronic charts displayed by the chart plotter are believed to be accurate and reliable, but they are not intended to replace official charts which should remain your main reference for all the matters

Installation and Operation Manual

2 Getting Started

2-1 Mounting the Unit

The AdvanSea is supplied with patented quick release bracket. You can choose a method of installation according to your preference.

2-1-1 Bracket Mounting

Before installing ensure the area the bracket is mounted to is strong enough to support the weight of the GPS chart plotter. After the location is found, attach the mounting base to the area using the supplied hardware.

Mounting the display Unit:

1 Hold the display unit and find a groove

joint between the display unit and bracket.

2 Gently push the display unit into the

groove of bracket; push the display unit as far as it can go.

Removing the display unit:

1 Turn the unit off 2 Push the top side of bracket out. 3 Pull the display unit out.

Note

The AdvanSea chart plotter with internal GPS antenna is designed to be bracket mounting and flush mounting. However, if you flush mount inside of your boat, GPS performance can be reduced.

2-1-2 Flush Mounting

1 Find a location for flush mounting. 2 Drill a hole in the area of the cutout area

for the blade of jig saw.

3 insert and cut out the area on the panel

using the jig saw 4 Drill four holes for mounting studs. 5 Install the mounting studs on the chart

plotter and insert them into the mounting

hole. 6 Attach the chart plotter to the mounting

location by attaching the supplied

hardware to the mounting studs.

Note

1 If you flush mount, you need the optional external

GPS antenna.

2 Before Drilling holes make sure there is enough

space to mount the chart plotter there is no obstructions.

2-3 C-MAP MAX Secure Digital (SD) Card

This section provides instructions for inserting and removing C-MAP MAX SD card procedure.

Inserting the SD Card

1 Hold the SD card so that you can

see the C-Map label.

2 Open the door, gently push the SD card

into the slot; push the SD card in as far as you hear click sound, then close door.

Removing the SD Card

1 Turn off the unit. 2 Open the door and push in on the SD card

until it is released.

3 Close the door.

Insert C-MAP SD card

correctly. (DO NOT FORCE) Close SD card door firmly all the times. Do not remove SD card during reading and writing.

2-4 Simulate Mode

Simulate Mode is great for practicing the actual use of a product when the satellites signals and internal alarms are not available. In the simulate mode, the unit turns the GPS receiver off and ignores data from all optional devices.

Two simulate modes are available as below.

• Normal: Allows a user to practicing the actual use of a product without satellites connection

• Demo: boat travel alone given route at given speed and show different function of the unit.

Do not try to navigate in a

simulate mode. While the simulate mode is turned on, the GPS receiver is not active.

2-5 Data Bar

Data bar displays useful navigation information at the top of the display.

Displaying Data bar

1 Press and select Data bar. 2 Select Data bar.

Installation and Operation Manual

Setting the data displayed in data bar

1 Press and select Data bar. 2 Select Data bar then Data bar setup. 3 Move the cursor key to highlight the data

field you want to change then press . 4 Select Data type. 5 Select a desired data you want to display in

the field then press . 6 Repeat above steps if necessary.

2-6 Compass

The AdvanSea chart plotter computes compass direction from the constellation of GPS satellites. For the GPS chart plotter to compute direction the vessel must be moving through the water.

For easy reading and recognition, there is a compass needle at top right side.

Selecting the Data bar size

1 Press and select Data bar. 2 Select Data bar then Data bar size. 3 Select the desired size of data bar.

[Large]

[Small]

Tip: If you select None for all data fields,

Tip: Even though you setup a data bar

for specific window, the data bar is not apply to all other window.

To turn the compass off or on: 1 Press and select Data bar.

2 Select Compass.

When the compass is displayed, COG is always displayed in data field. Also when you are navigating to a point, COG and BRG is always displayed in data bar.

Tip

COG(Course Over Ground) – The course you vessel is heading. BRG(Bearing) – The direction from your current position to a destination point.

2-8 Man overboard (MOB)

During navigation, the “MOB” feature provides a one-touch method of storing a location, such as point where a crew member fell overboard. In this mode, the chart plotter places a MOB point on the chart page and all the navigation data shown is related to navigating back to this point, allowing you to retrace your path to the MOB point efficiently.
