FOREWORD

A Word to GP-1850D/1850 Owners

Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO GP-1850D COLOR DGPS/PLOT ­TER, GP-1850 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 Com­pany has enjoyed an enviable reputation for innovative and dependable marine electron­ics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our extensive global 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, op­erated and maintained properly. Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for operation and maintenance.
We would appreciate hearing from you, the end-user , about whether we are achieving our purposes.
Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment.

Features

The GP-1850D is a totally integrated DGPS beacon receiver, GPS receiver, and color video plotter. The GP-1850 mostly shares the same features with the GP-1850D except it does not have a built-in DGPS beacon re­ceiver.
Navigation information is displayed on a bright 6.5-inch color TFT LCD. On-screen in­formation shown are position, range and bearing to cursor position, range, bearing, ETA and TTG to waypoint, etc.
A high sensitivity receiver tracks up to twelve satellites simultaneously . An 8-state Kalman filter ensures optimum accuracy in determi­nation of vessel position, course and speed. C-MAP NT-FP chart card is available for the GP-1850/1850D C-MAP NT.
The main features of the GP-1850D/GP-1850 are
Comprehensive navigation data displays.
Bright 6.5-inch color TFT LCD with tem­perature compensated 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-1850).
Accepts both FURUNO and NAVIONICS or C-MAP NT mini chart cards.
Alarms: Arrival, Anchor Watch, Cross-track Error, Speed, Proximity.
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.

1.3 Inserting Mini Chart Card

Insert appropriate mini chart card before turn­ing on the power.
1. Push down the lid catch to open the mini chart card slot cover.
Card slot
Figure 1-3 Location of mini chart
card slot cover
2. Insert appropriate mini chart card groove side up.
Your equipment 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 equipment 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: T urn off power before inserting or eject­ing the mini chart card.

1.4 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 1-4, after displaying the FURUNO information display .
Displayed for about five seconds.

SS: SS (Signal Strength) displays a numeric representation of field strength of the received signal on the selected frequency. The higher the number the stronger the received signal. If noise is present at reception band width, the figure gets bigger.
SN: SN (Signal-to-Noise) ratio displays the ratio between the desired signal and un­wanted noise on the selected frequency . The higher the SN ratio the better the quality of the signal.

The black boat-shaped mark shows own boats movement and direction, and amount to steer to return to course. Using Figure 2­13 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 (default: 0.5 nm).

3.2 Stopping/Restarting
Plotting of Track
When your boat is at anchor or returning to port you probably won’t need to record its track. You can stop recording the track, to conserve the track memory, as follows:
1. Press the [MENU] key followed by the soft keys CHART SETUP OPTIONS and TRACK CONTROL.
2. Press the soft key STOP TRACK. The in­dication “TRACKING” in the TRACK ST A­TUS window changes to “NOT TRACKING”.
To restart recording the track, press the soft key START TRACK at step 2 in the above procedure.
When the fishing mode is selected, you can stop or restart plotting the track with the soft key only on the plotter display. Press the [SHOW/HIDE] key several times to show the soft key STOP TRACK. Press the soft key STOP TRACK on the plotter display to stop plotting of track. HOLD TRACK PLOTTING appears approx. 2 seconds and own ship mark changes to hollow circle. To restart plot­ting the track, press the soft key START TRACK. ST ART TRACK PLOTTING appears approx. 2 seconds and the plotting restarts.

In drawing the track, first the ship’s position (fed from the DGPS/GPS receiver) 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.
