FOREWORD

A Word to GP-1650WD/1650W Owners

Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO GP-1650WD COLOR DGPS/PLOTTER, GP-1650W COLOR GPS/PLOTTER. We are confident you will see why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and reliability.

For over 50 years FURUNO Electric Compan y has enjoyed an enviable reputation for innovative and dependable marine elec tronics equi pment. This dedication to excell ence is furthered by our extensive g lobal network of agents and dealers.

This equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless installed, operat ed an d m ai nt ained prop er l y. Please carefully re ad and follow the recommended procedures for oper ati o n an d maintenanc e.

We would appreciate hearing from you, the end-user, about whether we are achieving our purpos e s.

Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment.

Features

Navigation information is displayed on a bright 5.6-inch color TFT LCD. On-screen informati on shown are pos i tio n, ra ng e and bearing to cur s or position, ra ng e, bearing, ET A and TTG to waypoint, etc. A high sensitivity receiver tracks up to twelve (WAAS: thirteen) satellites simultaneously. An 8-state Kalman filter ensures optimum accuracy in de termination of vessel position, course and speed.

C-MAP NT-FP chart card is available for the GP-1650WD/1650W.

The main features of the GP-1650WD/1650W are

• WAAS capability.

• Comprehensive navigation data displays.

• Bright 5.6-inch color TFT LCD with

temperature comp ens ated tone and brilliance control.

• Automatic coastline chart loading.

• Position display in latitude and longitude,

Loran C or Decca TDs.

• Improved position accuracy with optional

DGPS beacon receiver (GP-1650W).

• Accepts both FURUNO and NAVIONICS

chart card or FURUNO and C-MAP NT mini chart cards.

• Alarms: Arrival , Anchor Watch, Cross-track

Error, Speed and Proximity.

The GP-1650WD provides a totally integrated DGPS beacon receiver, WAAS function, GPS receiver and color video plotter. The GP-1650W mostly shares the same features with the GP-1650WD except it does not have a DGPS beacon receiver.

• Man overboard feature records latitude

and longitude coordinates at time of man overboard.

• “Highway” display provides graphic

presentation of ship’s track and is useful for monitoring cross track error.

WHAT IS WAAS?

WAAS, available in North America, is a provider in the worldwide SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) navigation system. An SBAS pr ovider furnishes GPS signal corrections to SBAS users. Two more SBAS providers are also currently under development, MSAS (Multi-Functional Satellite Augmentation System) for Japan and EGNOS (Euro Geostationar y Navigation Overlay Service) for Europe. All providers will be compatible with one another, thus providing “seamless” position fixes to SBAS users.

At the time of this software release, SBAS is still under development. (Providers are expected to have initial operations capability from the times shown above.) During this developmental period, which may last for several years, there is no guarantee of the accuracy, integrity, continuity, or availability of the SBAS signal. Furuno will accept no responsibility fo r t he use of the signal for other than the above stated purpose. It is the user’s responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational judgment while using the SBAS signal in the developmental phase.

Note: This manual uses “WAAS” when ref e r r ing to any SBAS provider.

Start-up sequence

For any NG on the start up test display, request service.

The GP-1650WD/1650W 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 sat ellit e signal is being received normally, the GP-1650WD/1650W displays various abbreviations at the bottom left-hand corner of the display which show DGPS/GPS receiver status. The table in below shows these abbreviations and their meanings.

These frames are called indices and they show you what parts of the chart can be enlarged in the current picture range. The areas circumscribed with smaller frames can be enlarged, but the area enclosed by the largest frame cannot. These indices can be erased through the menu. See page 10-2.

Using the figure shown on the previous page as an example, you would steer right by 000.02 nautical miles to return to course. When this mark is out of range of the XTE scale, the mark color changes from black to yellow. The range of the XTE scale can be set as shown below.

3.4 Track Plotting Method,

Interval

In drawing the track, first the ship’s position (fed from the DGPS/GPS receiver, WAAS) is stored into the unit’s memory at an interval of time or distance. A shorter interval provides better reconstruction of the track, but the storage time of the track is reduced. When the track memory becomes full, the oldest track is erased to make room for the latest.
