TRACKER 5430/5430i Installation and Operation Manual

Important

It is the owner's sole responsibility to install and use the instrument in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injur y or property damage. The user of this product is solely responsible for observing safe boating practices.

Global Positioning System: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US government which is solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes which could af fect the accurac y and performance of all GPS equipment anywhere in the world including the TRACKER. Whilst the NAVMAN TRACKER is a precision navigation instrument, it can be misused or misinterpreted, which can result in its use being unsafe. To reduce the risk of misusing or misinterpreting the TRACKER, the user must read and understand all aspects of this Installation and Operation manual. We also suggest that the user practice all operations using the built in simulator before using the TRACKER at sea.

Electronic Chart: The electronic chart used by the TRACKER is an aid to navigation and is designed to supplement the use of official government charts not replace them. Only official government charts supplemented by notices to mariners contain the information required for safe and prudent navigation. Always supplement the information provided by the TR ACKER with other plotting sources such as observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass bearings. Should the information not agree then the discrepancy must be resolved before proceeding any further.

Fuel Compute r: Fuel economy can alter drastically dep ending on the boat loading and sea conditions. The fuel computer should not be the sole source of information concerning available fuel onboard and the electronic information should be supplemented by visual or other check s of the fuel load. This is necessary due to possible operator induced errors such as forgetting to reset the fuel used when filling the tank, running the engine with the fuel computer not switched on or other operator controlled actions that may render the device inaccurate. Always ensure that adequate fuel is carried onboard for the intended trip plus a reserve to allow for unforeseen circumstances.

TRACKER 5430/5430i Installation and Operation Manual

1 Introduction

TRACKER char tplotters

NAVMAN’s TRACKER chartplotters are compact, ruggedly built, highly integrated navigation instruments. They have been designed to be easy to use. Complex navigation functions can be performed with a few key presses, taking the hard work out of navigation.

This manual covers these NAVMAN chartplotters:

TRACKER 5430 Greyscale display, external GPS antenna.

TRACKE R 5430i Greyscale display, internal GPS antenna.

The TRACKER has a built-in chart of the world, suitable for route planning and general interest. To see chart details for a region, plug in a C-MAP™ chart card (an elec tronic chart).

The TRACKER receives information from the GPS system and displays the boat’s position and speed.

1-1 Care

Cleaning and maintenance

Caution should be used when cleaning the TRACKER, and especially the screen of the TRACKER. Only use a clean sponge or chamois soaked in fresh water and mild detergent. Never use a dry cloth as this may drag dried salt crystals across the screen resulting in scratching. Do not use any form of abrasive cleaner, solvent, petrol or other chemical cleaner.

Push the dust cover over the display when the TRACKER is turned of f.

The TRACKER can navigate to a point or can navigate along a route. When the boat is navigating to one of these points, the TRACKER displays course information for the helmsman to follow.

The TRACKER can control an autopilot and can display depth information from a depth sounder. With an optional fuel kit, the TRACKER becomes a sophisticated yet easy to use fuel computer. Navigation data can be saved to a plug-in user card so that it can be easily transferred to another NAVMAN chartplotter.

The TRACKER is part of the NAVMAN family of instruments, which includes instruments for speed, depth, wind and repeaters. These instruments can be connected together to form an integrated data system (see sec tion 14).

For maximum benefit, please read this manual carefully before installing and using the unit. Special terms are explained in appendix C.

Plug-in cards

Handle plug-in cards carefully. Keep them in their protective cases when not plugged into the TRACKER.

If a card gets dirt y or wet, clean it with a damp cloth or mild detergent.

Keep the card holder in place in the display unit at all times to prevent moisture from entering the card compartment.

1-2 Plug-in cards

The TRACKER can use two kinds of plug-in cards:

C-MAP™ chart cards have char t details required for navigating in a par ticular region. When a char t card is plugged in, the extra details automatically appear on the TRACKER’s chart display.

C-MAP™ user cards are used to store navigation data. Each user card expands the

TRACKER’s memory and allows the data to be transferred to another TRACKER easily (see section 11).

Note: The older 5 vo lt user cards are not

supported .

When a card is inserted or removed it does not matter if the TRACKER is turned on or off.
