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.

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 track depends on the selected track interval: a small interval will give a shorter, more detailed track and a long inter val will give a longer, less detailed track, as shown in these examples:

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).

ii Press ENT to display a menu of the data

that can be shown in the field.

iii Select the data to show in the field; select

None to leave the field empty.

3 Repeat the above step to change other f ields.

4 Finally, press ESC to return to the highway

display.

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.

North up: North is always at the top of the

chart display.

Tra ck up : The chart is rotated so that the

boat direction is to the top of the display. This option is useful for navigating narrow harbours or rivers. The TRACKER asks for a course deviation; this is how much the boat direction needs to change to make the chart redraw.

Tip: If the char t redraws too frequently, increase the course deviation setting.

Course u p: This option is only available if the

boat is navigating to a destination. The chart is rotated so that the plotted course to the destination is vertical.

Projected course

The TRACKER can estimate the course after a given time, based on the current speed and heading (see section 3-4). The options are 2 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or Off.

For normal use, turn Plot ter mode to Off.

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.

NAVMAN

TRACKER 5430/5430i Installation and Operation Manual

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 !

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

1 Select the track number to delete (1 to 5).

2 Select Yes to confirm.

The data in the selected track is deleted.

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).

There are t wo mounting arrangements:

Flush mounting requires a solid panel

with access behind for wiring and mounting screws. Do not flush mount a TRACKER 5430i.

Bracket mounting requires a panel for

mounting the bracket. The bracket can be rotated and tilted.

Choose a location that is easily seen and

not exposed to the direct sun or water. If possible, mount the display unit in front of the navigator or to the left of the navigator because the LCD display is more readable from these positions.

Keep the unit away from any source of

electrical signals or noise.

For the TRACKER 5430i, with the internal GPS

antenna:

The display unit must have a good view

of the sky and horizon. The view should not be blocked by large parts of the superstructure.

The unit can be under glass, perspex,

fibreglass or fabric, but not under metal or wood.

Do not mount the unit within 3 m (10

ft) of a radio transmit ter antenna or within 0.5 m (20") of the plane of a radar antenna.

2 For flush mounting:

i Cut a hole in the bulkhead for the display

unit using the flush mount template.

ii Drill four holes for the mounting studs

using the flush mount template.

iii Screw the four studs into the brass inser ts

in the back of the display unit.

iv Sit the display unit in place and fit the

washers and nuts to the studs.

For bracket mounting:
