Introduction

System overview

The basic Zeus2 Glass Helm consist of the processor and one or two monitors. The system can be configured and installed in various configurations:

• One processor with one monitor (A)

• One processor with two independent monitors (B)

• A complex network where additional networked processors are connected to independent

monitors throughout the boat (C)

For installation instructions refer to the Zeus2 Glass Helm Installation manual.

Operating the system

The Zeus2 Processor supports single and dual touch-screen operation when used with compatible touch monitors.

If a ZC1 controller is available on the network, this can control multiple processors and monitors, including power control. A separate manual is delivered with the ZC1 unit.

You can also use keyboard and mouse/trackball to control the Zeus2 Processor. Once these devices are connected to the USB ports on a processor, they can be used to control the monitors connected to the same processor.

The USB ports can be configured to accommodate various types of controllers. If the USB port is set to switchable you can switch control of monitors by pressing the Ctrl key on a keyboard twice, or by clicking the middle button on the mouse.

Active controller is indicated with an icon in the status bar. A large image will appear in the middle of the display when controller type is selected.

This manual does not include details about operation by alternative controllers, unless for features or options where it is required to show all options. The manual uses the following general terminology to describe operation:

The cursor is by default not shown on the chart panel. When you activate the cursor the cursor position window will be displayed. When the cursor

is active, the chart will not pan or rotate to follow the vessel. Select the Clear cursor menu option to remove the cursor and the cursor window from the

panel. This will also center the chart to the vessel position. Select the Restore cursor menu option to display the cursor in its previous location. The

Clear cursor/Restore cursor are useful features for toggling between the vessel's current location and the cursor position.

GoTo cursor

You start navigating to a selected position on the image by positioning the cursor on the panel, then using the go to cursor option in the menu.

The Cursor assist function

When using a touch screen, the cursor assist function allows for fine tuning and precision placement of the cursor without covering details with your finger.

Press and hold your finger on the screen to switch the cursor symbol to a selection circle, appearing above your finger.

Without removing your finger from the screen, drag the selection circle over the desired item to display item information.

When you remove your finger from the screen the cursor reverts to normal cursor operation.

Measuring distance

The cursor can be used to measure the distance between your vessel and a selected position, or between 2 points on the chart panel.

1. Position the cursor on the point from where you want to measure the distance from the

vessel

2. Start the measure function from the menu

- The measuring icons will appear with a line drawn from the vessel center to the cursor position, and the distance will be listed in the cursor information window

3. You can reposition the measing points by dragging either icon as long as the measuring the

function is active

Note: The bearing will always be measured from the grey icon to the blue icon.

You can also start the measuring function without an active cursor. Both measuring icons will then initially be located at the vessel position. The grey icon will follow the vessel as the vessel moves, while the blue icon will remain at the position given when you activated the function.

You terminate the measuring function by selecting the Finish measuring option.

Find objects on chart panels

You can search for other vessels or various chart items from a chart panel. Activate the cursor on the panel to search from the cursor position. If the cursor is not active the system will search for items from the vessel's position.

Note: You must have a SIRIUS data package subscription to search for fueling stations and an

AIS receiver connected to search for vessels.

3D charts

The 3D option provides a three dimensional graphical view of land and sea contours.

Note: All chart types work in 3D mode, but without 3D cartography for the appropriate area

the chart will appear flat.

When 3D chart option is selected, the Pan and the Rotate icons appear on the right side of the chart panel.

Panning the 3D chart

You can move the chart in any direction by selecting the Pan icon and then panning in the desired direction.

Select the Return to vessel menu option to stop panning, and to center the chart to vessel position.
