Virus Prevention
The ECDIS is not equipped with a virus checker. The ECDIS operates in real time; therefore, having a virus checker that periodically checks the equipment for viruses would increase the processing load, which can affect operation. However, you can avoid viruses by following the instructions
in this section.
When you update a chart
The PC and medium (USB flash memory, etc.) used to download and store an update for an existing chart or a new chart may be infected with a virus. Check the PC and the medium for viruses
with a commercial virus checker - BEFORE you connect them to the ECDIS. Be sure the virus
checker contains the latest virus definition files.
Network connection
The ECDIS receives and displays information from various navigation equipment and radar via a
LAN. A PC and other equipment connected to a network can carry viruses. To prevent the introduction of a virus to the LAN, DO NOT connect the ECDIS or HUB to an external network, including other shipboard LAN.
Do not install 3rd party programs in the ECDIS
Do not install any 3rd party software.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 System Configuration
This ECDIS series is comprised of the components shown in the illustration on the
System Configuration page.
The Processor Unit is connected to various sensors, and performs navigation calculations, route planning and route monitoring. The Sensor Adapters interface between
the Processor Unit and external equipment.
The operator controls the ECDIS with the ECDIS Control Unit RCU-024 or the Trackball Control Unit RCU-026. Both units are equipped with a trackball module (trackball,
right and left mouse buttons and a scrollwheel). The RCU-024 is additionally equipped
with an alphabet keyboard. All functions of the ECDIS can be accessed from the trackball module.
1.2 Processor Unit EC-3000
The Processor Unit is the heart of the ECDIS system, and is mainly responsible for the
chart management, route planning and route navigation.
The Processor Unit has two power switches. The Mains switch controls the power
from the switchboard, and the Power switch controls the power to the ECDIS system.
DVD
drive
Mains switch
Note 1: Do not operate the system with a medium inserted in the DVD drive when its
use is not required, to prevent damage to the drive and medium. After use of a medium
is completed, remove the medium from the drive and store it in its case.
Power switch
Note 2: To keep the system stable, restart the unit at least once every two weeks.
Note 3: Close the lid of the DVD drive when the drive is not in use.
Note 4: The DVD ROM provided with this equipment contains the ECDIS program.
Store the DVD in a place where the temperature and humidity are moderate. The recommended storage temperature is -10°C(50°F) to 40°C(104°F).

1. INTRODUCTION
1.3 How to Turn the Power On/Off
Normally, leave the power switches at the front of the Processor Unit on and control
the power with the power key on a Control Unit (RCU-024, RCU-026). The Monitor
Unit is powered independently.
How to power the system
Push the Mains switch on the Processor Unit for the "I" position. Turn on the power
switch on the Processor Unit or the power key on the Control Unit. The start-up display
appears on the monitor.
Note: If the ambient temperature is less than 0°C (32°F) when the power is applied,
nothing appears on the display. This is because the heater is warming the Processor
Unit. The display appears after the Processor Unit becomes warm, in approx. two minutes.
How to power off the system
Press the power switch on the Processor Unit or the power key on the Control Unit.
Then, push the Mains switch for the "O" position.
1.4 The Standby Mode
The standby mode, which requires a password to activate, deactivates the audio
alarms from the ECDIS. Use this mode when the ECDIS is not required, like in a harbor.
To go to the standby mode, first click the [OTHERS] button on the Status bar then click
[STANDBY]. Have the holder of the password enter the password then click the [OK]
button.
Click OTHERS,
STANDBY.
Playback
Enter password;
click OK button.

Click to return to normal operation.
To return to normal operation, click [Back to Normal Mode].
1.5 ECDIS Control Unit RCU-024
The RCU-024 consists of controls, keys, alphabet keyboard and trackball module
(trackball, scrollwheel and left and right mouse buttons). The trackball module functions like a PC mouse. The operator rolls the trackball and operates the left and right
mouse buttons and the scrollwheel to do various functions.

Status LED The color and state of the LED change according to system or
alert status.
Green, lighting: Normal operation status; no alerts generated.
Red, lighting: Acknowledged alert (but not rectified) or SYS-
TEM FAIL. SYSTEM FAIL occurs when there is trouble in the
Processor Unit or communication failure between the Processor
Unit and an ECDIS Control Unit. Each Control Unit detects trouble and its lamp flashes in red and the buzzer sounds. If this
condition occurs at the No. 1 ECDIS Control Unit, the SYSTEM
FAIL signal is output.
Red, flashing rapidly: Alert not acknowledged nor rectified.
Red, flashing slowly: Alert not acknowledged but rectified.
OFF: The heater on the CPU board is on, because the ambient
temperature is not at least 0°C. The heater takes about two minutes to warm the equipment. The LED lights green after the
heater goes off.

The speed can be entered from a log (STW) or GPS (SOG), or manually on the menu.
Note that FURUNO GPS Navigator GP-150 provides both COG and SOG.
Speed data is checked for integrity (see section 18.7 for details), and the data is
judged as Passed, Doubtful or Failed. The results of the check appear on the [SPD]
page, shown below. (The results do not appear when the TCS is engaged.)
Passed (green): Data is available for comparison and data is normal.
Doubtful (yellow): Data is not available for comparison, but data is normal.

2. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
2.1.1 Electronic chart area
The ECDIS can use the following types of charts:
• S-57 (IHO)
• S-63 (IHO) (S-63 encrypted)
• ARCS (UKHO)
• CM-ENC (C-MAP by Jeppesen)
• CM-93/3 (C-MAP by Jeppesen)
The following information can also be displayed:
• Cursor (moved by trackball)
• Planned route
• EBL (Electronic Bearing Line) and VRM (Variable Range Marker)
• Radar image
• Own ship symbol with speed vector
• TT (Tracked Target, acquired from radar)
• AIS target
Electronic charts in ECDIS
The electronic navigational charts are displayed in the electronic chart area. There are
two kinds of electronic navigational charts available for use in the ECDIS:
• S57ed3 ENC or CM-93 (vector format)
• ARCS (raster format)
The ECDIS combines chart and navigational information. It should be noted that modern navigation systems (e.g., differential GPS) may offer more accurate positioning
than what was used to position some of the surveys from which the electronic navigational chart was derived.
S57 vector format
ECDIS is compatible with S57
Ed.3 ENC format charts. ENC
charts are converted to SENC
for use with ECDIS.
The details for the chart are displayed in the electronic chart
area and these can be modified.
You can change the chart scale
with the ZOOM IN and ZOOM
OUT functions, and the scale
range is 1:1,000 - 1:70,000,000.
2-2
2. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
CM-93 vector format
The CM-93 charts require a contract with applicable provider. These charts are from
a private source and they cannot be used as a substitute for paper charts under any
condition. To emphasize this point these charts are called "Non-ENC" charts in this
manual. Note that some eToken dongles from the FEA-2xx7 can be used. These are
labeled “JeT FURUNO XXXXX”.
This ECDIS accepts the following C-MAP chart types: CM-ENC, Professional, Professional+ and Jeppesen Primary ECDIS Service.
C-MAP produced official ENC chart that complies with the IHO's (International Hydrographic Organization's) S-57 Edition 3 product specification. When used in an ECDIS,
the ENC data improves the safety of navigation at sea.
ARCS raster format
ARCS charts are digital reproductions of British Admiralty (BA) paper charts. They retain the same standards of accuracy, reliability and clarity as paper charts.
Zooming into the ARCS chart can be useful for magnifying a complex detail, however
this decreases the density of the data displayed, and can give a false impression of
the distance from danger.

2.10 Datum
2.10.1 General
Datum is a mathematical model of the earth based on which a sea chart is produced.
If the datum of a position sensor and that of a sea chart are different, a transformation
has to be made somewhere in the system. Not doing so can result in errors of several
sea miles. The difference between two datum is never constant, but depends on position. This means that the difference between WGS-84 and local datum, generally
used in paper charts, is not generally valid with electronic sea charts.
2.10.2 Paper charts
Datum used in paper charts have been traditionally national datum for historical reasons. Many paper charts do not have a marked datum, therefore compatibility with
electronic charts may be complicated. In some paper charts, the correction terms are
printed in lieu of datum, for correction of the WGS-84 system satellite locations. The
correction terms are usable but only with the paper chart in question.
2. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
2.10.3 Electronic sea charts
• The ENC vector material has to be produced by a National Hydrographic Office in
the WGS-84 datum.
• The ARCS (raster) material includes polynomials for each chart, making it possible
for the ECS system to solve the difference between the WGS-84 datum and the local datum with an accuracy sufficient for authority responsibility. In some charts, the
mentioned difference is not known with sufficient accuracy, resulting in displaying a
message in the Cursor position box when displayed in ARCS compatible systems.
2.10.4 Positioning devices and datum
In early days of electronic positioning devices, datum received little attention because
the commonly used systems utilized special charts (like Decca charts). Later on, data
output was added to these systems, but still no attention was paid to datum and the
position errors were considered as an inaccuracy of the system. With the spread of
the GPS, however, datum has become better known. An accurate position is of no value if co-ordinates are in a wrong datum. GPS satellites utilize the WGS-84 datum.
2.10.5 ECDIS and datum
The ECDIS uses ENC material, produced to standards using WGS-84 datum. Positioning devices connected to the ECDIS must work in the WGS-84 datum. IMO requires that the ECDIS must give an alert if the datum of a positioning device is not the
WGS-84.

3.13 How to View Permit Expiration Date
Permits are used to control the right to use chart data in the ECDIS. A permit is connected to the edition of a chart. Permits are issued in two different types:
• Subscription permit: This type of permit includes updates for subsequent 3, 6, 9 or
12 months.
• One-Off permit: This type of permit includes only updates up to the issue date of the
permit.
The expiry date of a permit controls the loading of Base charts and their updates to
the chart. The system will warn you when you are installing charts or updates that are
issued less than 30 days before the expiration date of a permit. If a permit has expired,
it is impossible to install a chart or its update that was issued after the expiration date
of the permit. The user has a right to view a chart forever, except C-MAP charts that
have viewing periods which end two months after the expiry date of the license. If the
charts are not updated regularly it will not complete the requirements for having up-todate charts. To view the permit status of a chart, click the [License] button on the
InstantAccess bar and then click the applicable "chart" tab ([ENC], [ARCS], [C-MAP]
or [C-MAP DL]).
The example below shows the status of ENC charts. The expiration date of each cell
appears in the [Expires] window.
Subscription warnings for RENC
If you have at least one subscription-type permit, the system will automatically warn
you about the expiration date of your subscription license, in the Permanent warning
box.
Note: If you change service provider for some reason, it is recommended that you remove all the charts from the ECDIS before installing new charts of new service provider.

3.20 How to Find the Chart Type
The electronic chart system can display more than one ENC chart cell at a time. This
feature is called multi-cell display. If one ENC chart cell does not cover the whole display, the system opens more ENC chart cells for display, if appropriate cells for the
displayed area are available. The Own ship functions box shows information about
ENC chart cells displayed on the electronic chart display area. When automatic TM
reset is active, the information is displayed with reference to your ship's position. If TM
reset is OFF, the information is displayed with reference to current cursor position.
ENC info
appears here.
Chart type indication
No indication (Official ENC chart)
“Non-ENC data” (Unofficial ENC chart, indication in yellow)
“ENC data available” (Currently, RNC chart is in use, but
ENC material is available. Indication shown in yellow.)
3.21 How to Update ENC, C-MAP Charts Manually
Manual update may include deleting an already existing object, modifying a position
or other characteristics of an already existing object or inserting of a new object. In this
system, manual updates are stored in a common database.
Mariners cannot permanently remove any of the official objects from the chart display.
If a mariner needs to make obsolete any of the official objects he “deletes” them. Then,
in practice, the deleted objects are still visible, but a diagonal line on the object indicates it is a deleted object.
However, a mariner can remove objects that he has inserted himself.
Note that the manual updates have no automatic connection to any automatic update
received later for charts. If a manual update itself became obsolete, because the official chart has been updated to include the update defined as a manual update, the
mariner must himself delete the obsolete manual update in question.
The system records complete usage of manual updates. All deletions, modifications
and insertions are recorded and time stamped. If the mariner wishes to see what kind
of manual updates he had in the past, for example, two weeks ago, he uses Update
History to specify the relevant date range. For information on how to set Display date
and Approved until dates, see section 5.2.3.
3-26
Note: Do not manually update charts while charts are being synchronized. Wait until
synchronization is completed.

3.22 How to Synchronize Chart Data
This section shows you how to synchronize chart data between FMD-3xx0 and FCR2xx9 units, so that all units share the same chart data. Synchronization can be done
automatically or manually (see section 3.22.2), however all units selected for synchronization must be powered to complete the synchronization. Synchronization includes
the following actions:
• Synchronize public keys
• Synchronize chart permits and licenses
• Synchronize chart data
• Synchronize manual updates
Note 1: Before synchronizing chart data, confirm that all units selected for synchronization are powered. (Do not turn off a unit during synchronizing.) If a unit is turned off
during the synchronizing, do the following on the unit which contains the medium:
• Open the [Sync Status] dialog box then click the [Disable Sync] button to disable
synchronization. Power all units registered for synchronization, then click the [Urge
Sync] button on the [Sync Status] dialog box on the unit containing the media to
forcibly synchronize.
3. HOW TO MANAGE CHARTS
• Make a group of all the units currently powered, referring to section 3.22.1, and register the group with [Grouped with This Unit]. Reset the power on all units selected
for synchronization.
Note 2: C-MAP charts are not automatically synchronized. C-MAP charts are only
synchronized immediately after installing or updating the C-MAP database. If the system has several FMDs, make a group of associated units before you install C-MAP
charts.
3.22.1 How to select the units to synchronize
Do as follows to select the units to synchronize.
1. Get into the Chart maintenance mode. On the InstantAccess bar, click [System]
followed by [Sync Config] to show the [Sync Config] dialog box.
[Grouped with This Unit]: This window shows the units currently selected for
synchronization.
[Not Synchronize with This Unit]: This windows shows the units not selected for
synchronization.
3-29
3. HOW TO MANAGE CHARTS
2. To select a unit for synchronization: Put a checkmark next to the unit’s name
in the [Not Synchronize with This Unit] window then click the << button. That unit’s
name is moved to the [Grouped with This Unit] window.
To deselect a unit from synchronization: Put a checkmark next to the unit’s
name in the [Grouped with This Unit] window then click the >> button. That unit’s
name is moved to the [Not Synchronize with This Unit] window.
To deselect all units, click the [Reset All] button.
3. Click the [Save] button to finish.
4. Restart the power on applicable units to apply synchronization configuration
changes.
3.22.2 How to check synchronization status
You can check chart synchronization status on the [Sync Status] dialog box. Chart
synchronization operations also
are available from this dialog
box. Normally, chart synchronization is done automatically, according to the sync settings on
the [Sync Config] dialog box.
Use the [Sync Status] dialog
box to manually synchronize
chart data when there is network failure, for example.
Get into the Chart maintenance mode. On the InstantAccess bar, click [System] followed by [Sync Status] to show the [Sync Status] dialog box.
[Current Status]: Displays current synchronization status. The table below shows all
the synchronization status messages.
Sync status Meaning
disabled Synchronization is disabled.
must receive This ECDIS will receive chart data from another FMD-3xx0 or
FCR-2xx9 series.
must send This ECDIS will send chart data to another FMD-3xx0 or FCR-2xx9
series.
none No synchronization task ready.
[Update] button: Click this button to update [Current Status].
[Enable Sync] button: Enables synchronization. You are asked, "Do you want to en-
able sync?" Click the [OK] button to enable synchronization. Synchronization is always enabled when ECDIS starts. A progress bar indicates progress in
synchronization. The bar is erased within five minutes after completion of synchronization.
[Disable Sync] button: Disables synchronization function temporarily. Use this feature to enable chart administration in case of network failure, for example. You are
asked, "Do you want to disable sync?" Click the [OK] button to temporarily disable synchronization.
3-30
Note 1: In normal operation do not disable synchronization. If you accidentally disable
synchronization, try to synchronize by clicking the [Enable Sync] button. If that does
not work, reset the power of all units selected for synchronization then click the [Urge
Sync] button to synchronize.
Note 2: With synchronization disabled, the message "Synchronization disabled" may
appear twice when installing a license. This does not affect installation of a license.
[Urge Sync] button: Does immediate synchronization. You are asked, "Chart data in
other units will be overwritten by this unit. Do you wish to continue?" Click the [OK]
button to synchronize. If synchronization is not successful, restart applicable units and
try again.
[Reset Status] button: Reset synchronization status to recover from synchronization
status conflict. You are asked, "Do you want to reset sync status? This unit may be
synchronized from the other unit." Click the [OK] button to reset.
3.22.3 Manual updates and synchronization
If you are synchronizing multiple FMD-3xx0 units while manual updating is being done
on one of the units, the message “File not found” may appear, meaning the manual
update data was deleted. if this occurs, follow the procedure below to synchronize the
FMD-3xx0 units. The procedure uses ECD001 and ECD002 as an example.

4. HOW TO CONTROL CHART
OBJECTS
This chapter provides the information necessary for controlling chart features.
4.1 How to Browse Your Charts
You can view your charts using different positions and different scales. The basic tools
for browsing charts are the RANGE key, chart offcenter, and scroll.
RANGE - and RANGE + change the chart scale. (The scrollwheel also can change
the chart scale. Spin to change.) If true motion reset is active, ZOOM IN and ZOOM
OUT keep the relative position of your ship with respect to the display. If true motion
reset is off, ZOOM IN and ZOOM OUT keep the relative position pointed by the cursor
with respect to the display. The system automatically chooses next larger or smaller
scale. If a chart with larger compilation scale is available at your current viewing position, the message "Larger Scale ENC Available" appears.
The own ship position can be easily relocated to the screen center in the Navigation
voyage and Navigation planning modes. Further, in the Navigation voyage mode, the
own ship position can be put at the cursor position.
To move the own ship mark to the screen center, put the cursor in the chart area
and right click [Ship on center]. To move the own ship mark to a location, right-click
the position on the chart where to put the own ship mark then right click [Ship off center].
([Ship off center] is not available in the Voyage planning mode.)
To scroll your chart, simply drag and drop.
4.2 How to Control Visibility of Chart Objects
The [Chart Display] menu has several pages of chart features that you may show or
hide as appropriate. To display this menu, click the [DISP], [SET] and [Chart DISP]
menu on the InstantAccess bar.
4.2.1 How to set value for shallow contour, safety depth, safety contour and deep contour
You can set values for Shallow Contour, Safety Depth, Safety Contour and Deep Contour, on the [Chart Alert] dialog box (sequence: [DISP], [SET], [Chart Alert]). Colors
used for depth presentation on the electronic chart are controlled by setting values for
Shallow Contour, Safety Depth, Safety Contour and Deep Contour. Soundings on the
electronic chart, which are equal to or less than the value of Safety Depth, are highlighted. See the illustrations on the next page for multi-color presentation and two-color presentation. Selection of multi- and two-color presentations can be done by
selecting from the list box of "Depths" on the [Chart] page of [Basic Setting] menu.
Note: The shallow contour cannot be set higher than the safety contour.

4. HOW TO CONTROL CHART OBJECTS
MULTI-COLOR presentation
Chart zero
Shallow contour
Safety contour (input value)
Safety contour (exisiting in ENC)
Deep contour
Non-navigable area
Navigable area
In the multi-color presentation four colors are used for depths. If the value entered as
the safety contour does not exist in the electronic chart, the system automatically selects the next available deeper depth contour as the safety contour. For example, the
input value is 8 m, but there is no 8 m depth contour in the electronic chart. Then, the
system automatically selects the next available deeper depth contour (10 m) as the
safety contour. The depth contour value of 10 m is used as the safety contour in the
electronic chart.
The shallow contour shows visual color change inside an unsafe water area. An unsafe water area is all areas shallower than the "safety contour". Set the value for the
shallow contour less than the value of the safety contour.
TWO-COLOR presentation
Chart zero
Shallow contour
Safety contour (input value)
Safety contour (exisiting in ENC)
4-2
Deep contour
Non-navigable area
Navigable area
In the two-color presentation, unsafe water is shown in blue and safe water is shown
in white. The safety contour is used to qualify unsafe water (depth shallower than safety contour) and safe water (depths deeper than safety contour).
If the value entered as the safety contour does not exist in the electronic chart, the system automatically selects the next deeper available depth contour as the safety contour, the same as with the multi-color presentation.
