2. Insert appropriate mini chart card groove side up.

The GP-1650DF/1650F takes about 90 seconds to find its position when turned on for the very first time. This is because the equipment has no satellite data, called the Almanac, in its database. If you want to lessen the time needed to find position you may enter your position manually (default position: San Francisco, USA) on the GPS SETUP OPTIONS menu.

Thereafter it takes about 12 seconds to find position each time the power is turned on.

When the satellite signal is being received normally, the GP-1650DF/1650F displays various abbreviations at the bottom left-hand corner of the display which show DGPS/GPS receiver status. Table 1-1 shows these abbreviations and their meanings.

3. Close the slot cover to protect the chart drive. (Keep the slot cover closed at all times.)

Note: Turn of f power before inserting or ejecting the mini chart card.

1.3 Turning the Power On/Off

Press the [POWER/BRILL] key at bottom lefthand side of the display unit to turn on the power. When the unit is turned on, it proceeds in the sequence shown in Figure 1-3, after displaying the FURUNO information display .

2. VIDEO SOUNDER OPERATION

2.1 Principle of Operation

The video sounder determines the distance between its transducer and underwater objects such as fish, lake bottom or seabed and displays the results on screen. It does this by utilizing the fact that an ultrasonic wave transmitted through water travels at a nearly constant speed of 4800 feet (1500 meters) per second. When a sound wave strikes an underwater object such as fish or sea bottom, part of the sound wave is reflected back toward the source (transducer). Thus by calculating the time difference between the transmission of a sound wave and the reception of the reflected sound wave, the depth to the object can be determined.

The entire process begins in the display unit. Transmitter power is sent to the transducer as a short pulse of electrical energy . The electrical signal produced by the transmitter is converted into an ultrasonic signal by the transducer and transmitted into the water. Any returning signals from intervening objects (such as a fish school) are received by the transducer and converted into an electrical signal. The signals are then amplified in the amplifier section, and finally, displayed on screen.

The picture displayed is made up of a series of vertical scan lines, one for each transmission. Each line represents a snapshot of what has occurred beneath the boat. A series of snapshots are accumulated side by side across the screen, and the resulting contours of the bottom and fish between the bottom and surface are displayed.

50 kHz picture

The sounder uses ultrasonic pulses to detect bottom conditions. The lower the frequency of the pulse, the wider the detection area. Therefore, the 50 kHz frequency is useful for general detection and judging bottom condition.

200 kHz picture

The higher the frequency of the ultrasonic pulse the better the resolution. Therefore, the 200 kHz frequency is ideal for detailed observation of fish school.

Operation

Automatic sounder operation is useful when you are preoccupied with other tasks and do not have time to adjust the display.

How the automatic sounder works

The automatic sounder function automatically selects the proper gain, range scale and clutter suppression level according to depth. It works as follows:

• Range changes automatically to locate the

bottom on the lower half of screen. It jumps to one step shallower range when bottom echoes reach a half way point of the full scale from top and to one step deeper range when they come to the lower edge of scale.

Dual-frequency display: Press the soft key MODE.

2. Press ▲ or ▼ to select AUTO CRUISING or AUTO FISHING.

3. Press the soft key RETURN to close the window automatically , or wait 10 seconds and the window closes automatically.

2.6 Manual Sounder

Operation

• The gain is automatically adjusted to display the bottom echo in reddish brown (default color arrangement).

• Clutter, which suppresses low level noise, is automatically adjusted.

Two types of automatic sounder modes

Two types of automatic sounder modes are available: CRUISING and FISHING. CRUISING is for tracking the bottom, and FISHING is for searching fish schools. CRUISING uses a higher clutter rejection setting than FISHING therefore it is not recommended for fish detection - weak fish echoes may be erased by the clutter suppression circuit.

How to enable automatic sounder operation

Manual operation is useful for observing fish schools and bottom using fixed gain setting.

The gain, range and range shifting functions used together give you the means to select the depth you can see on screen. The basic range can be thought of as providing a “window” into the water column and range shifting as moving the “window” to the desired depth.

Selecting the manual mode

1. Press the appropriate soft key to show the mode/freq window.

2. Select MANUAL.

3. Press the soft key RETURN.

1. To show the mode/freq window: Normal sounder display: Press the soft

Bottom echo

Zero line

The zero line (sometimes referred to as the transmission line) represents the transducer’s position, and moves off the screen when a deep phased range is used.

Zero line

Shift

Figure 2-31Zero line

Fish school echoes

Fish school echoes will generally be plotted between the zero line and the bottom. Usually the fish school/fish echo is weaker than the bottom echo because its reflection property is much smaller compared to the bottom. The size of the fish school can be ascertained from the density of the display.

Echoes from the bottom are normally the strongest and are displayed in reddish-brown color but the color and width will vary with bottom composition, water depth, frequency , sensitivity, etc.

In a comparatively shallow depth, a high gain setting will cause a second or sometimes a third or a fourth echo to be displayed at the same interval between them below the first echo trace. This is because the echo travels between the bottom and the surface twice or more in shallow depths.

The color of the bottom echo can be used to help determine the density of the bottom materials (soft or hard). The harder the bottom, the wider the trace. If the gain is set to show only a single bottom echo on mud, a rocky bottom will show a second or third bottom return. The range should be chosen so the first and second bottom echoes are displayed when bottom hardness is being determined.

Surface noise/Aeration

When the waters are rough or the boat passes over a wake, surface noise may appear near the zero line. As surface turbulence is acoustically equivalent to running into a brick wall, the bottom echo will be displayed intermittently. Similar noise sometimes appears when a water temperature difference (thermocline) exists. Different species of fish tend to prefer different temperature zones, so the thermocline may be useful to help identify target fish. 200 kHz tends to show shallow thermoclines better than 50 kHz.

In rough waters the display is occasionally interrupted due to below-the-ship air bubbles obstructing the sound path. This also occurs when the boat makes a quick turn or reverses movement. Lowering the picture advance speed may reduce the interruption. However , reconsideration of the transducer installation may be necessary if the interruption occurs frequently.

6. WAYPOINTS

6.1 Entering Waypoints

In navigation terminology , a waypoint is a particular location on a voyage whether it be a starting, intermediate or destination point. A waypoint is the simplest piece of information your equipment requires to get you to a destination, in the shortest distance possible.

This unit has 835 waypoints (including quick waypoints) into which you can enter position information. There are five methods by which you can enter a waypoint: at own ship’s position, at MOB position, by cursor, by range and bearing, and through the waypoint list (manual input of latitude and longitude).

Entering waypoints at own ship’s position

You can save your current position as a waypoint. Press the [SAVE/MOB] key with a touch-and-release action to store your position. This new waypoint will automatically be saved in the waypoint list under the next consecutive waypoint number.

2. Press the [ENTER] key to select MOB position as destination, or the [CLEAR] key to only mark MOB position.

3. To show range and bearing to the MOB position, press the soft key NAV L/L followed by the soft key NAV WPT.

7. ROUTES

Often a trip from one place to another involves several course changes, requiring a series of route points (waypoints) which you navigate to, one after another. The sequence of waypoints leading to the ultimate destination is called a route. Your unit can automatically advance to the next waypoint on a route, so you do not have to change the destination waypoint repeatedly.

You can store up to 200 routes. A route may consist of 35 points.

POS SMOOTHING

When the DOP or receiving condition is unfavorable, the GPS fix may change greatly, even if the vessel is dead in water. This change can be reduced by smoothing the raw GPS fixes. A setting between 000 to 999 is available. The higher setting the more smoothed the raw data, however too high a setting shows response time to change in latitude and longitude. This is especially noticeable at high ship’s speeds. 000 is the normal setting; increase the setting if the GPS fix changes greatly.

GPS uses UTC time. If you would rather use local time, enter the time difference between local time and UTC time. Use the soft key +<-->- to switch from plus to minus and vice versa.

11-5

SPD/CSE SMOOTHING

LATITUDE, LONGITUDE

During position fixing, ship’s velocity (speed and course) is directly measured by receiving GPS satellite signals. The raw velocity data may change randomly depending on receiving conditions and other factors. Y ou can reduce this random variation by increasing the smoothing. Like with latitude and longitude smoothing, the higher the speed and course smoothing the more smoothed the raw data. If the setting is too high, however, the response to speed and course change slows. For no smoothing, enter all zeroes. The default setting is 005 (sec).

GPS SPEED AVE

Calculation of ET A is based on average ship’s speed over a given period. If the period is too long or too short calculation error will result. Change this setting if calculation error occurs. The default setting is 60 seconds, which is suitable for most conditions.

LAT OFFSET, LON OFFSET

GPS generated position may be off by some seconds due to GPS signal variation. You may apply an offset to GPS position to refine position accuracy.

The default latitude and longitude position is San Francisco, USA (38.00.000’N,

123.00.000’W). When the unit is turned on

first the first time it begins searching for its actual position. To lessen the time required to find position, you may enter your position manually . To switch from North to South and vice versa, use the soft key N<-->S, and to switch from West to East and vice versa, use the soft key W<-->E. Finally, press the soft key ENTER or the [ENTER] key.

ANT. HEIGHT

Enter the height of the antenna unit above sea surface. For further details refer to the Installation Manual. The default setting is 5 m.

FIX MODE

Y ou can choose the position-fixing mode from 2D or 2D/3D. 2D requires three satellites to fix position; 2D/3D requires three or four satellites, whichever is available. The default setting is 2D/3D.

DGPS SETUP OPTIONS menu

DISABLE SATELLITE

Every GPS satellite is broadcasting abnormal satellite number(s) in it’s Almanac, which contains general orbital data about all GPS satellites, including those which are malfunctioning. Using this information, the GPS receiver automatically eliminates any malfunctioning satellite from the GPS satellite schedule. However, the Almanac sometimes may not contain this information. If you hear about a malfunctioning satellite from another source, you can disable it manually . Enter satellite number (max. 3 satellites) in two digits and press the soft key ENTER or the [ENTER] key.

13.2 Replacement of Fuse,

Battery

The fuse on the power cable protects the system from reverse polarity of the ship’s mains and equipment fault. If the fuse blows, find the cause before replacing it. Use only a 3A fuse. Using the wrong fuse will damage the unit and void the warranty.

CAUTION

Use the correct fuse.

A battery installed on a circuit board inside display unit preserves data when the power is turned off. The life of the battery is about three years. When the battery voltage is low the battery icon (

) appears on the display. When this happens, contact your dealer to request replacement of the battery.
