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.

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.
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
6
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.

3-5 Tracks and tracking
Tracking records the boat ’s position to memory at
regular intervals, which can be:
Time intervals.
Or distance intervals.
The track of where the boat has been can be
displayed on the chart. The TR ACKER can display
one track while recording another.
To work with track s, (see section 13-5).
The TRACKER can store f ive tracks:
Track 1 can hold up to 20 00 points and is
intended to record the normal progress of the
boat.
Tracks 2, 3, 4 and 5 can hold up to 500 points
each and are intended to record sections to be
retraced accurately, for example entering a river
mouth.
Tip: Record the tracks in good conditions.
When recording is on and the track becomes full
then recording continues and the oldest points in
the track are deleted. The maximum length of a

7 Satellites
GPS worldwide navigation
The US Government operates the GPS system.
Twenty-four satellites orbit the earth and
broadcast position and time signals. The
positions of these satellites are constantly
changing. The GPS receiver analyses the signals
from the closest satellites and calculates
exactly where it is on earth. This is called the
GPS position.
The accuracy of the GPS position is typically
better than 5 m (16.4 ft) for 95% of the time. A
GPS antenna can receive signals from the GPS
satellites when it is almost anywhere on earth.
DGPS
A DGPS system uses correction signals to
remove some of the errors in the GPS position.
The TRACKER can use one of two types of DGPS
system:
WAAS and EGNOS DGPS
WAAS and EGN OS are two satellite based
DGPS systems. The co rrection signals are
broadcast by satellites and are received by
the TRACKER ’s standard GPS antenna . The
accuracy of the corrected GPS position is
typic ally better than 5 m (16 ft) for 95% of
the time.
WAAS covers all of the USA and most of
Canada. EGNOS will cover most of Western
Europe.
Differential beacon DGPS
Differential beacons are land based radio
transmitters that broadcast correction signals
that can be received by a special receiver on
the boat. Differential beacons are usually
only installed near ports and important
waterways, and each beacon has a limited
range. The accuracy of the corrected GPS
position is typically bet ter than 2 to 5 m
(6 to 16 ft).

GPS antennas
•The TRACKER 5430i has a built in GPS antenna.
• The TRACKER 5430 must be used with an
external GPS antenna. It is recommended to
use the GPS antenna supplied.
• The TRACKER can apply the WAAS and
EGNOS DGPS corrections to any GPS antenna.
• Fit an optional dif ferential beacon DGPS
antenna to give enhanced accuracy within
range of land based differential beacons
in areas where WAAS or EGNOS are not
available. Such a DGPS antenna has both a
GPS receiver and a beacon receiver, and it
automatically applies the beacon correction
to the GPS position.
• The TRACKER can use GPS satellite data from
a optional compatible instrument or antenna
connected by NavBus or NMEA (see sections
14 and 15-3). In this case, the TRACKER does
not need its own antenna.
To configure the TRACKER for different antenna
options, see section 13-3. For more information,
contact your NAVMAN dealer.
The TRACKER has a sensitive 12-channel receiver
built in, which track s signals from all GPS
satellites visible above the horizon and uses
measurements from all satellites more than 5°
above the horizon to calculate the position.
Start up
Each time a GPS receiver is turned on, it normally
takes about 50 seconds before it outputs the f irst
position. Under some circumstances it will take
up to two minutes or longer.

NAVMAN
TRACKER 5430/5430i Installation and Operation Manual
Map datum and map shift
Satellite derived positions on the TRACKER
are based on a worldwide reference (datum)
known as WGS84. Most paper char ts are based
on WGS84. However, some paper charts are
not based on WGS84, which results in an offset
between a position on the TRACKER and the
same position plot ted on the paper chart.
To match the TRACKER’s positions with a local
chart that is not based on WGS84:
Either selec t Map datum and select the datum
for the local chart. See appendix A for a list of
the available datums. WGS84 is the default
datum, and the datum most commonly used
on paper charts.
Or, if the correct datum is not available, retain
the WGS84 datum and apply a map shif t.
(see below).
NMEA datum off set
If you select a map datum other than WGS 84,
the map datum offset can be applied to latitude
and longitude coordinates sent on the TRACKER
NMEA output:
Off: Latitude and longitude coordinates
displayed on any NMEA repeater do not
match the coordinates on the TRACKER.
Latitude and longitude coordinates
broadcast on any NMEA VHF transmitter
will be the same as the coordinates on a
WGS 84 chart.
On: Latitude and longitude coordinates
displayed on any NMEA repeaters match
the coordinates on the TRACKER. However,
latitude and longitude coordinates broadcast
on any NMEA VHF transmitter will be slightly
offset from coordinates on a WGS 84 chart.
Map shift
Map shift is a correc tion applied to the TR ACKER’s
positions so that they match a chart ’s positions.
Warning : Map shift is fo r eliminating
minor of fsets. It should not b e used if the
correc t datum is available. Use map shif t
with caution : incorrect applicat ion will cause
incorrect boat positions.
Set map sh ift
1 Move the boat to a k nown point on the char t,
for example a marina b erth.
2 In the Chart setup menu, select Map shif t.
3 Move the cursor to the position on the chart
where the boat actually is.
4 Press ENT to set the new map shift. The boat
will now be displayed at its actual location.
Clear map shift
Clearing the map shif t removes any map shift
from the TR ACKER’s positions.
1 In the Chart setup menu, select Map shif t.
2 Press MENU and selec t Clear.
Waypo ints

13-3 GPS setup
GPS Source
There are three options:
• Internal: For the TRACKER 5430i, use the
internal GPS antenna and receiver. For
TRACKER 5430, use the internal GPS receiver
and an external GPS antenna plugged into
the gold connector on the TRACKER .
• NMEA: Use an external GPS or DGPS source
connected via NMEA (see section 14).
• NavBus: Use an external GPS or DGPS source
connected via NavBus (see section 14).
DGPS Source
Enables or disables the satellite based DGPS
correction (see section 7). The options are None
or WAAS/EGNOS. Do not enable WAAS/EGNOS
outside their coverage areas or the accuracy of
the position might be degraded.
WAAS covers all of the USA and most of Canada.
To use WAAS, the GPS antenna must have a clear
view of the sk y towards the equator. EGNOS will
cover most of Western Europe.
Restart GPS
Restar ts the internal GPS receiver for ser vicing
or troubleshooting. The GPS receiver takes up
to three minutes to restart. The satellite display
shows the status of the GPS receiver.
(see sec tion 7).
13-4 Fuel Setup
To use these fuel features first purchase and
install the optional single or t win engine fuel kit.
Whenever fuel is added or removed from the
tank, use this menu :
If the tank is filled, selec t Tank Full.
If the tank is partly f illed or fuel removed:
1 Before adding or removing the fuel, go to
the fuel display and note how much fuel
is in the tank.
2 Note how much fuel is added or removed.
3 Calculate how much fuel is now in the
tank by adding or subtracting the two
figures.
4 Select this menu and enter how much
fuel is now in the tank in Set Remaining.
Warning : Do this each time fuel is a dded or
removed or else fue l remaining and t he low
fuel alarm will be meaningless !
30
Static Navigatio n
The displayed speed and course become erratic
when the boat stops. Turn Static navigation On
to display speed and course as zero when the
boat is stopped.
Speed and Course Filter
Waves and wind cause the boat position, speed
and course to f luctuate slightly. To give stable
readings, the TRACKER calculates these values
by taking several measurements and averaging
them.
A lower value averages measurements over
a shorter period of time. This gives the most
accurate value but has the most fluctuations.
A higher value averages measurements over
a longer period of time. This gives the most
stable value but will ignore some true speed
changes.
Set the Speed and Course filters to the lowest
values which give stable readings. The range of
each filter is 1 to 60 seconds or Off (0).
Tan k Full
Select Tank ful l each time the tank is filled full.
When asked for confirmation, Select Ye s.
Set Remaining
Enter the amount of fuel now in the tank af ter it
has been partly filled or fuel has been removed.
Clear Used
Select Clear Used to set Used (the amount of fuel
used) to zero. Do this to restart measuring the
amount of fuel used.
When asked for confirmation, Select Ye s.
Tan k Size
Enter the capacity of the fuel tank.
Num Engines
Set the numb er of engines to None, One or Two.
If None is selected the fuel features are turned off.
NAVMAN
TRACKER 5430/5430i Installation and Operation Manual
Fuel Ca l
Without calibration the error in fuel
measurements can be up to ± 10%. Calibration
can reduce the error substantially. For twin
engine installations calibration of each
transducer is required.
Calibrating the fuel transducer requires accurate
measurement of the fuel used. This is easiest with
a small por table tank. It should be noted that due
to air pocket s, it is very difficult to fill under floor
tanks to the same level twice. At least 15 litres (4
US gallons) should be used to ensure an accurate
calibration. (The more fuel used, the more
accurate the calibration will be. ) Each transducer
in a twin engine installation must be calibrated
separately. This may be done at the same time
with two portable tanks, or at dif ferent times
using one tank at a time.
The procedure is:
1 Select Clear Used to set Used to zero.
2 Connect the measurement tank(s) to the
engine(s) via the fuel transducer(s).
3 Run the engine(s) at normal cruising spe ed
until at least 15 litres (4 US gallons) is indicated
(30 litres [8 US g allons] for twin en gines).
13-5 Track setup
Tracking records and displays the boat ’s course
on the chart (see sec tion 3-5).
Record
Off: The TRACKER stops recording a track.
1 to 5 (select a track number): The TRACKER
starts recording the boat ’s course into the
selected track.
Display
Off: No track is shown on the chart.
1 to 5 (select a track number): The selec ted
track is shown on the char t.
Plotting Interval
The options are Distance or Time.
Distance
Select the distance plotting interval: 0.01, 0.05,
0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0 or 10.0 distance units.
4 Check the actual amount of fuel used per
engine. The easiest way to do this is to ref ill
the tank(s) to the original level(s) and record
the value (s) shown on the fuel dispenser.
5 Select Fuel Cal. The amount of fuel that the
TRACKER has measured is displayed. Change
the number to the actual fuel amount used.
(Repeat for the other engine in a twin engine
installation).
Flow Filter
Normally engines do not draw fuel from the tank
at a steady rate. To give a stable fuel flow reading,
the TRACKER calculates the flow values by taking
several measurements and averaging them. The
flow filter sets the period over which the fuel
flow is averaged, and can be set from 1 to 180
seconds or Off.
Set the flow filter to the lowest value which give
a stable f low. Usually a value of 10 to 15 seconds
will give a satisfactory result for carburettor
engines. Fuel injec ted engines may require a
larger value.
This setting affects the Flow rate and Economy
displays. It does not affec t the fuel used
measurement.
Time
Select the time plotting interval: 1, 5, 10 or 30
seconds or 1 minute.
Memory used
The percentage of memory used in the track
being recorded.
Tip: Use the user card display to check the
number of points recorded in each track (see
section 11).
Send track
Sends track data on the serial port.
Delete track

14 Systems of several instruments
Several NAVMAN instruments can be connected
together to share data. There are two ways of
connecting instruments together, NavBus or
NMEA.
NavBus
NavBus is a NAVMAN proprietary system that
allows systems of multiple instruments to be
built using a single set of transducers. When
instruments are connected by NavBus:
If the units, alarms or calibration are changed
in one instrument, then the values will
automatically change in all other instruments
of the same t ype.
Each instrument can be assigned to a
group of instruments (see sec tion 13-9). If
the backlight is changed in an instrument
in group 1, 2, 3 or 4 then the backlight
will automatically change in the other
instruments in the same group.
If the back light is changed in an instrument
in group 0 then no other instruments are
affected.
If an alarm sounds, mute it by clearing the
alarm on any instrument which can display
that alarm.
2 In the Simulate setup menu, selec t Simulate
and turn it on.
3 Select Mode and set it to Normal or Demo.
4 Select and enter the other data required for
simulate:
Normal requires Speed and Heading.
Demo requires Speed and Route.
NavBus an d the TRACKER
The TRACKER can:
Display depth data from an optional depth
instrument, such as a NAVMAN Depth 3100.
Receive data from an optional GPS or DGPS
source.
Send data to optional NAVMAN instruments,
for example to a repeater.
NMEA
NMEA is an industry standard, but is not as
flexible as NavBus as it requires dedicated
connections bet ween instruments. The
TRACKER can:
Receive and display depth data.
Receive data from a GPS antenna.
Send GPS position and other navigation data
to an autopilot or other instrument.
Note: To use the NMEA 1 input, a NAVMAN
special fuel cable is required (see section 15-3).

Appendix B - Troubleshooting
This troubleshooting guide assumes that you
have read and understood this manual.
It is possible in many cases to solve difficulties
without having to send the unit back to the
manufac turer for repair. Please follow this
troubleshooting section before contacting the
nearest NAVMAN dealer.
There are no user ser viceable parts. Specialised
methods and testing equipment are required
to ensure that the unit is reassembled correctly
and is waterproof. Repairs to the unit must only
be carried out by a ser vice centre approved
by Navman NZ Limited. Users who service the
TRACKER themselves will void the warranty.
When contacting a NAVMAN dealer for service,
quote the sof tware version number and date
which is given on the about display.
(see sec tion 12).

b The normal error in GPS position will exceed
10 m (33 ft) for about 5% of the time.
c Under special circumstances the US
Department of Defence may introduce a
deliberate and changing error in the GPS
positions of up to 300 m (1000 ft).
7 No DGPS fix or loss of D GPS fix:
a To receive a DGPS fix, WAAS/EGNOS must be
enabled or an optional DGPS antenna fitted
(see sec tion 7).
b With WAAS/EGNOS: Boat out of coverage
area (see section 7).
c With WAAS: GPS antenna does not have
a clear view of the horizon towards the

TRACKER 5430/5430i Installation and Operation Manual
13 Fuel Used or Remaining seem wrong:
a The engine has been run while the TRACKER
is turned off and it has not recorded the fuel
use. Wire the auto power option (see section
15- 3).
b Fuel may be surging back and for ward
through a transducer in rough seas. Try
installing a one way valve between the fuel
transducer and the fuel tank.
c Tank Full or Set Remaining has not been set
every refuelling.
d When refuelling, air pockets may have
prevented the tank filling completely.
e Fuel transducers wear out over time and
should be replaced every 5000 litres
(1316 US gallons) of fuel as a guide.
14 No or l ow fuel flow reading:
a Check the fuel cable connectors are securely
plugged in and the locking ring is locked in
place.
b Clogged fuel transducer. To clean a
transducer, remove it from the line and gently
blow through it in the opposite direction
to the fuel f low. Fit a fuel filter before the
transducer.
c Inspect the fuel cable(s) for damage.
d Dirty fuel filter.
e Fuel transducer has been exposed to
excessive heat or vibration.
15 Onl y one flow rate valu e shown for a twin
engine installation:
Set Num Engines to 2 (see section 13-4).
16 Erratic fue l flow readings :
a The fuel transducer must not be mounted too
close to the fuel pump(s) and not subject to
excess vibration.
b Check for air leaks in the fuel hose(s) or fuel
pick-up (s) in the tank(s).
c The Flow Filter has not been set to suit the
engine(s) (see section 13-4). Increase the
Flow Filter value until a steady flow rate is
indicated.
17 TRACKER operates erratically or
unexpectedly:
Setup data incorrec t. Reset to factor y
defaults (see section 13-1).
