NAVMAN TRACKER 5507/5607 Installation and Operation Manual

It is your sole responsibility to install and use NAVMAN’s instrument and GPS antenna in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. Always observe safe boating practices.

The choice, location, angle and installation of the instrument & GPS antenna are critical to performance of the system as intended. Follow instructions in this manual carefully. If in doubt, consult your NAVMAN dealer.

Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in doubt, consult a qualiﬁed boat builder.

Global Position System: The global Position System (GPS) is operated by the U.S. Government which is solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The GPS is subject to changes which could aﬀect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment anywhere in the world, including the 5507/5607 and TRACKFISH. To reduce the risk of misusing or misinterpreting the 5507/5607 and TRACKFISH, you must read and understand all aspects of this Installation & Operation Manual. We also recommend that practice all operations using the built-in simulator before using the 5507/5607 or TRACKFISH.

Electronic Chart: The electronic chart used by 5507/5607 or TRACKFISH is an aid to navigation designed to supplement, not replace oﬃcial government charts. Only oﬃcial government charts supplemented by notices to mariners contain the information required for safe and prudent navigation, Always supplement the electronic information provided by 5507/5607 or TRACKFISH with other plotting sources such as observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass bearings. Should the information not agree, the discrepancy must be resolved before proceeding any further.

AIS: The AIS features on this chart-plotter are designed as a safety aid only and do not guarantee safety at sea. AIS transmission is mandatory on some, but not all, vessels. You should check your local laws and regulations for requirements in your area. As a result of diﬀerent legal requirements, diﬀerent vessel sizes and uses, you should not assume that your AIS equipped chart-plotter will show the location of ALL vessels in your area. Careful prudence, judgement, and safe navigation practices should be always be exercised. AIS should be used to complement radar, but AIS is not a substitute for radar.

Fuel Computer: Do not rely on the fuel computer as the sole source of information regarding available fuel onboard. Fuel economy can change drastically depending on boat loading and sea conditions. Fuel Computer information should be supplemented by visual or other checks of the fuel load. This is necessary due to possible operator errors such as forgetting to reset the fuel used when ﬁlling the tank, running the engine with the Fuel Computer not switched on, or on other operator actions that may render the device inaccurate. Always carry adequate fuel onboard for the intended trip, plus a reserve to allow for unforeseen circumstances.

Failure to adhere to these warnings may lead to death, serious injury or property damage. NAVMAN disclaims all liability for installation or use of this product that causes or contributes to death, injury or property damage or that violates any law.

As NAVMAN is continuously improving this product we retain the right to make changes to the product at any time which may not be reﬂected in this version of the manual. Please contact your nearest NAVMAN oﬃce if you require any further assistance.

Governing Language: This statement, any instruction manuals, user guides and other information relating to the product (Documentation) may be translated to, or have been translated from, another language (Translation). In the event of conﬂict between any Translations of the Documentation, the English language version of the Documentation will be the oﬃcial version.

NAVMAN TRACKER 5507/5607 Installation and Operation Manual

GPS wo rldwide 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 t ypically better than 10 m (33 ft) for 95% of the time. A GPS antenna can receive signals from the GPS satellites when it is almost any where on earth.

DGPS

A DGPS system uses correction signals to remove some of the errors in the GPS position. The 5507/5607 can use one of two types of DGPS s ystem:

WAAS and EGNOS DGPS

WAAS and EGNOS are two satellite based

DGPS systems. The correction signals are broadcast by satellites and are received by the 5507/5607’s standard GPS antenna. The accuracy of the corrected GPS position is typically better than 5 m (15 ft) for 95% of the time.

WAAS covers all of the USA and most of

Canada. EGNOS will cover most of Western Europe when it b ecomes operational.

Differential beacon D GPS

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 impor tant waterways, and each beacon has a limited range. The accuracy of the corrected GPS position is ty pically better than 2 to 5 m (6 to 16 f t).

7 Satellites

GPS receive r

NAVMAN GPS units have a sensitive 12-channel receiver, which tracks signals from all GPS satellites visible above the horizon and uses measurements from all satellites more than 5° above the hori zon to calculate the position.

Each time a GPS receiver is turned on, it normally takes about 50 seconds before it outputs the first position. Under some circumstances it will take up to two minutes or longer.

10 Fuel functions and display

The Fuel functions require optional petrol/gasoline, diesel or SmartCraft™ fuel sensors to be installed and set up.

Each engine has a flow sensor installed to measure the engine’s fuel flow.

The 5507/5607 uses these flows, together with boat speed and engine RPM if available to estimate the fuel remaining in the tank(s), fuel used, range and fuel economy. This data is displayed on the fuel window (see section 10-2).

You can:

display the fuel used during a trip

(see section 10-2)

set low fuel alarms (see section 10-4)

make fuel consumption curves - graphs

of fuel consumption and boat speed as a function of engine RPM - to monitor and optimise boat performance. (see section 10-6)

10-2 Fuel window

To go to the Fuel window, press , select More, then select Fuel

The display differs according to the number of engines and tanks. If engine RPM is available and if you have made and selected a Fuel Consumption Cur ve (see section 10-6), press to switch between a Summary or a Fuel curve display.

The Fuel window shows

Speed

To select a boat speed sensor, see section 10-5-1.

RPM (if available)

If engine RPM is not available, the display shows depth.

Remaining

The fuel remaining in the tank(s) is shown as a vertical gauge on the right of the display. The height of the yellow bar(s) show how much fuel remains in the tank(s). If you have set a low fuel alarm (see section 10-4), a red bar shows the level at which the alarm will trigger. If there are two tanks, the left bar shows the port tank, the right bar shows the starboard tank .

10-1 What the fuel computer does

Used

The fuel used during a trip. On a multi-engine boat, the data for the port engine is on the left of the display.

When you want to start measuring how much fuel is used, go to the Fuel window and:

In a single engine boat, press and

select Clear used

In a multi-engine boat, the fuel used by each

engine and the total fuel used are shown. Press

, select Clear used and

select:

Port or Starboard to clear the fuel used

by one engine

Both to clear the total fuel used.

Fuel flow

The fuel f low for the engine(s). On a multi engine boat, the data for the port engine is on the left of the display. Use the f lows to check the load of each engine.

CAUTION

WARNING

To ensure the fuel data is accurate:

When you add or remove fuel from a

tank, tell the 5507/5607 (see section 10-3)

If the boat has petrol/gasoline sensors,

calibrate them during installation or if the fuel readings seem inaccurate (see section 10-7)

Choose an appropriate type of boat

speed sensor to calculate economy, range and the fuel consumption curve (see section 10-5)

If the boat uses a paddlewheel sensor

to measure speed, calibrate it during installation or if the speed readings seem inaccurate.

NAVMAN TRACKER 5507/5607 Installation and Operation Manual

Fuel window Range

The estimated boat range at the current fuel flow. The value can depend on the type of speed sensor (see section 10-5).

Economy

The distance travelled per unit of fuel used. The value can depend on the type of speed sensor (see section 10-5). The larger the value, the better the fuel economy. Adjust the throttle and trim to achieve the best economy.

Fuel consumption curve

A graph of fuel consumption and boat speed as a function of engine RPM. Use the curve to monitor and optimise boat per formance (see section 10-6).

10-3 When you add or remove fuel

When you add or remove fuel, you must tell the 5507/5607, otherwise the fuel data will be meaningless.

A When you completely fill a tank

Go to the fuel window and press

Then:

On a single-tank boat, select Fill tank.

On a multi-tank boat, select Fill tank,

then selec t the tank you have filled.

Note: Underf loor fuel tanks are often difficult to refill to the same level twice, due to air pockets.

With underfloor fuel tanks:

Trim the boat to the same angle in the water

each time you follow procedure A.

Mostly use procedure B below when adding fuel, but completely fill the tank and follow procedure A about every tenth time you add fuel.

B When you partially fill a tank

1 Add fuel to a tank and write down how much

fuel you add.

2 From the Fuel window, press

and

select Add fuel.

3 On a multi-tank boat, select the tank that you

have added fuel to.

4 Change the number to the amount of fuel

that you added.

Note: If you follow procedure B every time you add fuel, then a small error will accumulate, because it is hard to measure exactly how much fuel you add. To avoid this, completely fill the tank and follow procedure A about ever y tenth time you add fuel.

C When you remove fuel

1 Before removing fuel, go to the Fuel window,

press

and selec t Set remai ning.

2 On a multi-tank boat, select the tank that you

are removing fuel from.

3 Write down the value of Remaining for the

tank; this is the amount of fuel originally in the tank.

NAVMAN TRACKER 5507/5607 Installation and Operation Manual

To set a low fuel alarm for a tank:

1 Press

twice, select Fuel then select

Setup tank s.

2 On a multi-tank boat, select the tank to set

the alarm for.

10-4 Low fuel alarm

When a low fuel alarm is set, the alarm’s fuel level is shown on the fuel window tank levels as a red bar. The alarm can also be set using the Alarms setup menu (see section 15-8)

10-5-1 Selecting a boat speed sensor

The fuel calculations can use boat speeds from the GPS, or from a paddlewheel sensor or pitot sensor if these optional sensors are installed:

Paddlewheel and pitot sensors measure the

speed through the water; GPS speed is speed over ground; these sensors can give different values for Range, Economy and the fuel consumption cur ves (see section 10-5-2).

A pitot sensor is more accurate than a

paddlewheel sensor at high speeds but is not accurate at low speeds. A paddlewheel sensor is more accurate than a pitot sensor at low speeds.

10-5 Boat speed s ensors

To select an optional speed sensor

1 Press

twice, select Fuel and select

Speed source

2 To use a paddlewheel or pitot sensor, select

Water speed , otherwise select Ground speed to use GPS speed.

3 If you selected Water speed and you have

both a paddlewheel sensor and a pitot sensor:

i Press

, select SmartCraft and

select Speed type

ii Selec t Paddlewheel or Pitot

Tip: You can select a different speed sensor

during a trip.

4 Remove fuel from the tank and write down

how much fuel you remove.

5 Subtract the amount of fuel you removed

from the amount of fuel originally in the tank to calculate the amount of fuel now in the tank.

6 Change the number on the Set Remaining

menu to the amount of fuel that you calculated was now in the tank.

7 Press

Note: You can also use this procedure when you add fuel to a tank. In this case, add the fuel you have added to the amount of fuel originally in the tank to calculate the amount of fuel now in the tank.

NAVMAN TRACKER 5507/5607 Installation and Operation Manual

Water speed 10 knots

Current 4 knots

Gives a ground speed of 6 knots

10-5-2 Water speed and gr ound speed

A paddlewheel sensor and a pitot sensor measure water speed, the boat speed through the water. A GPS measures ground speed, the boat speed over the bottom of the water. If there is a current, then these speeds will be different, and the log, trip log, economy and range will be different, as shown below.

Water speed is better for measuring the boat’s potential per formance, Ground speed is b etter for going to a destination because it takes currents into account. To select a speed sensor, see section 10-5-1.

When the current is from ahead, g round speed is less than water speed

For this example:

If the boat travels for one hour, uses 3 gallons of fuel per hour and has 50 gallons of fuel left:

Speed Log Economy Range

Using water speed: 10 knots 10 nm 3.3 nm / gal 165 nm

Using ground speed: 6 knots 6 nm 2.0 nm / gal 100 nm

Water speed 10 knots

Gives a ground speed of about 8 knots Current 4 knots at 45º

When the current is from behind , ground speed i s more than water s peed

Water speed 10 knots

Current

4 knots

Gives a ground speed of 14 knots

For this example:

If the boat travels for one hour, uses 3 gallons of fuel and has 50 gallons of fuel lef t:

Speed Log Economy Range

Using water speed: 10 knots 10 nm 3.3 nm / gal 165 nm

Using ground speed: 14 knots 14 nm 4.7 nm / gal 235 nm

Current 4

knots at 45º

Gives a ground speed of about 13 knots

Water speed 10 knots

7 The 5507/5607 then asks you to set the

throttle to achieve a vessel RPM. On a multi engine boat set all engines to about the vessel RPM. When the engine RPMs are correct, the Vessel RPM box will turn green. Now, do not change the engine speed. Wait for about 60 seconds for the boat to stabilise, ensuring the Vessel RPM box stays green. Then press . Wait while the fuel computer records the data.

8 The 5507/5607 repeats the above step to

record data up to the maximum RPM. Then the 5507/5607 asks if you want to save the curve. Select Yes. The fuel computer asks for a name for the cur ve. Change the default name if required. Then press . The 5507/5607 stores the new curve.

Note To interrupt making the curve at any time,

press

10-6-1 Making a fuel consumption curve

To make a fuel consumption curve you will need to run the boat in a straight line for about 15 minutes using the engine’s full RPM range. For your first curve, choose a calm day with light wind and lit tle current; have a typical load and a freshly cleaned hull. Later, you can make fuel consumption cur ves for different boat, weather or sea conditions. Compare these with your first cur ve to see how your boat’s per formance changes with conditions.

Making a curve

1 Star t running the boat in a straight line.

2 Choose a speed source for the curve (see

section 10-5-1). Normally choose Water speed to measure the boat ’s potential per formance.

3 Press

twice, then select Fuel.

4 Select Fuel consumption curve, then

select New

5 Enter the comfortable maximum RPM you

know you can achieve for the engine rather than the maker’s value.

6 The 5507/5607 then asks you to set the

minimum RPM. Set the throttle to idle; on a multi engine boat set all engines to about the same idle RPM. Now, do not change the engine speed. Wait for about 60 seconds for the boat to stabilise, then press . Wait while the fuel computer records the data.

10-6 Fuel consumption curves

A fuel consumption curve shows fuel consumption (fuel used per unit of distance travelled) and boat speed as a function of engine RPM. Fuel consumption curves require engine RPM, which requires SmartCraft™ or diesel sensors to be installed. Fuel consumption curves are power ful tools for assessing boat per formance in dif ferent conditions and for helping you to run at the most economical speed and trim for the conditions.

is below the red curve, showing that the boat speed now at this RPM is less than when you recorded the curve.

D Blue curve: fuel consumption at different

RPMs recorded when you made this fuel consumption cur ve.

E Blue marker: the fuel consumption now. This

marker is below the blue curve, showing that the fuel consumption now at this RPM is better than when you recorded the curve.

F If the blue cur ve has a dip, then running the

boat at this RPM will give the best speed for the least fuel consumption.

NAVMAN TRACKER 5507/5607 Installation and Operation Manual

Calibrate petrol/gasoline fuel flow sensors during installation, or if the fuel readings seem inaccurate and the other troubleshooting suggestions do not help (see app endix B troubleshooting).

Note

SmartCraft™ fuel sensors and NAVMAN diesel

sensors are factory calibrated and should never need recalibrating.

On a multi engine boat, calibrate each

engine’s sensor. This can be done at the same time with a portable tank for each engine or at different times using one portable tank .

Calibrating a sensor requires accurate

measurement of the fuel consumption. This is best done using a small por table tank. At least 4 gallons (15 litres) of fuel should be used to ensure an accurate calibration.

It is often very difficult to fill under floor tanks

to the same level twice due to air pockets, so the more fuel used, the more accurate the calibration.

10-7 Calibration

To calibrate the sensor(s):

1 Record the level of the fuel in the tank(s).

2 Connect the por table tank(s) to the engine

through the fuel sensor(s).

3 Run the engine at normal cruising speed until

at least 4 gallons (15 litres) of fuel has been used per engine.

4 Check the actual amount of fuel used per

engine by refilling the portable tank(s) to the original level and noting the reading(s) of the fuel dispenser’s gauge.

5 Press

twice, select Fuel then select

Setup engines.

6 On a single engine boat, select Calibrate

and change the displayed value to be equal to the reading of the fuel dispenser ’s gauge, then press

On a multi-engine boat select the engine.

Select Calibrate and change the displayed value to be equal to the reading of the fuel dispenser’s gauge, then press

Repeat for the other engines.

AIS is short for Automatic Identification System. The International Convention for Safety of Life At Sea (SOLAS) requires all vessels greater than 300 tons and all passenger vessels to be equipped with AIS Transponders. All vessels equipped with AIS permanently broadcast via one or more of the two dedicated VHF channels. This transmission may include information about the vessels MMSInumber, its call sign, name, position, course, heading, speed, rate of turn and type of vessel.

This unit can receive and display AIS information when connec ted to an AIS receiver. Available AIS vessels transmitting in the local area are show on the chart when this feature is enabled.

The following AIS receivers are supported by this unit:

• Comar SLR200 (external GPS).

• Weatherdock Two Channel AIS Receiver “EASY AIS”, Part No. 5-A-013 (external GPS).

• NASA Marine AIS Engine 2 channel Receiver (external GPS).

Other AIS receivers may work but have not been tested with this unit.

To enable AIS from the system menu check the AIS box. (see section 15-1)

Map datum

5507/5607 GPS positions are based on a worldwide reference (datum) known as WGS

84. Most paper charts are based on WGS 84.

However, some paper charts are based on other datums In these cases, the latitude and longitude coordinates of objects on the 5507/5607 chart window are different to the latitude and longitude coordinates of these objects on the paper char t. This applies to all objects, such as the boat, waypoints, tracks, lines of latitude and longitude and cartographic features such as land, rocks, buoys and depth contours.

Use

Map datu m to select the 5507/5607 map

datum to match the datum of the paper chart. Then, the latitude and longitude coordinates of objects displayed on the 5507/5607 will change to match the corresponding coordinates on the paper char t.

Setting map datum

1 In the Chart setup menu, select

Map

datum.

2 Select the map datum for the paper chart you

are using.

3 If you selec t a datum other than WGS 84 the

5507/5607 asks if you want to apply the NMEA datum offset (see below).

CAUTION

WARNING

When you change to a chart with a dif ferent datum, change the 5507/5607 map datum again.

NAVMAN TRACKER 5507/5607 Installation and Operation Manual

NMEA datum offset

If you selec t a map datum other than WGS 84, the map datum of fset can be applied to latitude and longitude coordinates sent on the 5507/5607 NMEA output:

Latitude and longitude coordinates

displayed on any NMEA repeater do not match the coordinates on the 5507/5607. Latitude and longitude coordinates broadcast on any NMEA VHF transmitter will be the same as the coordinates on a WGS 84 chart.

Latitude and longitude coordinates

displayed on any NMEA repeaters match the coordinates on the 5507/5607. However, latitude and longitude coordinates broadcast on any NMEA VHF transmitter will be slightly

offset from coordinates on a WGS 8 4 chart.

Map shif t

CAUTION

WARNING

Map shift is for eliminating minor offsets. It should not be used if the correct datum is available. Use map shift with caution: incorrect application will cause incorrec t boat positions.

Some charts have consistent position errors. To correct this, apply a map shift. After a map shift:

The positions of cartographic features (such

as land, rocks, buoys and depth contours) move on the 5507/5607 chart window to where they should be.

The positions of the boat, waypoints, tracks,

and lines of latitude and longitude on the 5507/5607 chart window remain unchanged.

Applying a map shift

1 Move the boat to a known point on the chart,

for example a marina berth.

2 In the Chart setup menu, select

Map

shift.

3 Move the cursor to the position on the chart

where the boat actually is.

4 Press

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 when it becomes operational.

Restar t GPS

Restar ts the internal GPS receiver for servicing or troubleshooting. The GPS receiver takes up to three minutes to restart. The satellite window shows the status of the GPS receiver (see section

7). Restar t the GPS if the receiver has not been

used for some time and is taking a long time to get a GPS fix.

15-3 Setup > GPS

Static Navig ation

When the boat stops or moves very slowly, the calculated GPS speed and course become erratic. Static navigation is a number, and the options are:

• 0.01 to 99.9:If the boat speed is slower than this, the speed is displayed as zero and the course stays unchanged.

• 0(Off): The calculated speed and course are always used.

Speed and Co urse Filter

Waves and wind cause the boat speed and course to fluctuate slightly. To give stabl e readings, the 5507/5607 calculates these values by tak ing 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).

NAVMAN TRACKER 5507/5607 Installation and Operation Manual

15-4 Setup > Fuel

Flow filter: Most engines do not draw fuel from the tank at a steady rate. To give a stable fuel flow reading, the 5507/5607 calculates the flow by taking several measurements and averaging them. Use the Flow filter to set the period over which the fuel flow is averaged.

The Flow filter can be set from 0 to 30 seconds. Use the lowest value which gives a stable flow. Usually a value of 5 to 10 seconds will give a satisfactory result for two-stroke carburettor engines. Fuel injected or four-stroke engines may require a larger value.

This setting affects the Fuel flow and Fuel economy reading on the Fuel window but it does not affect the Fuel used reading.

15-11 Setup > Calibrate

Press twice, then select Calibrate:

Speed

This calibrates the speed from a paddlewheel sensor connected to the Instrument. Calibration may be required because different hull shapes have different flow characteristics. Obtain an accurate measurement of the boat’s speed from a GPS receiver; or by following another boat travelling at a known speed; or by making a timed run over a known distance.

Note: for accurate calibration:

• The speed from a GPS receiver should be greater than 5 knots.

• The speed from another paddlewheel transducer should be between 5 and 20 knots.

• Best results are achieved in calm conditions where there is minimal current (best at high or low tide).

Calibrating speed:

1 Travel at a constant, known speed.

2 In the Calibrate menu, select Speed.

3 Press

or to change the displayed speed

to the true value.

4 Press

Speed filter

Waves and wind cause the boat speed from the paddlewheel transducer to fluctuate slightly. To give stable readings, the Instrument calculates these values by taking several measurements and averaging them. Set the Speed filter to the lowest value which gives stable readings. The range is 1 to 30 seconds or Off (0).

Temperature

The factory settings should be sufficiently accurate for normal usage. To calibrate the temperature readout, first measure the water temperature with a thermometer known to be accurate.

Use the cursor keys to display the temperature readout box, then increase or decrease the value to match the measured temperature. The temperature can be set from 32° to 99.9°F (0° to

37.7°C) with a resolution of 0.1° unit.

To change the units between °F (Fahrenheit) or °C (Celsius), see section 15-9.

Temperature filter

Water turbulence and currents cause the water temperature to fluctuate slightly. To give stable readings, the Instrument calculates these values by taking several measurements and averaging them. Set the Temperature filter to the lowest value which gives stable readings. The range is 1 to 30 seconds or Off (0).

15-12 Setup > Time

Keel Offset

A depth transducer measures depths below where the transducer is mounted on the boat, usually the bottom of the boat. The Instrument calculates the depths to display by adding the keel offset to all measured depths.

A Have a zero keel offset to display depths

below the transducer.

B Enter a positive keel offset to increase the

displayed depth. For example to display the total depths below the surface, enter the depth of the transducer below the surface.

C Enter a negative keel offset to decrease the

displayed depth. For example, to display the depths of clear water below the boat, enter minus the depth of the deepest part of the boat below the transducer.

NAVMAN TRACKER 5507/5607 Installation and Operation Manual

NavBus is NAVMAN’s system for connecting instruments together to interchange data and share 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 type.

Each instrument can be assigned to a group

of instruments. 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 backlight 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.

NAVMAN TRACKER 5507/5607 Installation and Operation Manual

1-1 The 5507/5607 won’t turn on:

a The 5507/5607 is designed to operate on a

12/24 volt battery system, where the voltage may vary from 10.5 to 32 volts. If an excessive voltage is supplied, a fuse will be tripped, turning the display unit off. Check the fuse.

b Check that the power cable connector at the

back of the display unit is securely plugged in and the collar is locked in place. The collar must be secure for watertight connection.

c Measure the battery voltage while the battery

is under load - turn on some lights, radio or other elec trical equipment connected to the battery. If the voltage is less than 10 volts:

- the battery terminals or wiring on the terminals may be corroded.

- the battery may not be charging correctly or may need replacing.

d Inspect the power cable from end to end for

damage such as cuts, breaks, squashed or trapped sections.

e Ensure that the red wire is connected to the

positive battery terminal and the black wire to the negative battery terminal. If wired for the Auto Power option, ensure the yellow wire is connected to the ignition circuit. Also check the boat’s main switch circuit (see section 16-4).

This troubleshooting guide is written with the assumption that the user has read and understood the relevant sections in this manual.

It is possible in many cases to solve dif ficulties without having to send the display unit back to the manufacturer for repair. Please follow this troubleshooting section before contacting the nearest NAVMAN dealer.

There are no user serviceable parts. Specialized methods and testing equipment are required to ensure that the display unit is reassembled

correctly and is waterproof. Users who service the product themselves will void the warranty.

Repairs to the product may only be carried out by a service centre approved by NAVMAN. If the product must be sent into a service centre for repair, it is essential to send in the transducer(s) at the same time.

More information can be found on our Website: www.navman.com.

f Check for corrosion on the power cable

connector and clean or replace if required.

g Check fuses that are placed in line with the

power cable. A fuse can be blown despite appearing to be good or the fuse may be corroded. Test the fuse or replace it with a fuse known to be good.

1-2 The 5507/5607 won’t turn off:

The 5507/5607 may have been wired for

Auto power. In this case, the 5507/5607 cannot be turned off while the ignition power is on (see section 2-3).

1-3 If the 5507/5607 beeps when turned on but nothing is displayed:

The 5507/5607 may be operating, but the

2-4 Can not see boat on chart:

Press

to switch to centre on boat

mode (see section 3-2-1).

2-5 The time or date on the satellite window is wrong or off:

a No GPS fix.

b In simulate mode. Turn simulate mode off

(see section 15-12).

c Local time offset is wrong (see section 15-11).

The Local T ime Offset must be changed when daylight saving time star ts or ends.

2-6 Autopilot not responding to 5507/5607; no NMEA output:

a NMEA output disabled or the required NMEA

sentences are not turned on. Check NMEA settings (see section 15-10).

b Check that the instrument is connected

correctly.

2-7 No DGPS fix or loss of DGPS fix:

a To receive a DGPS fix, WAAS/EGNOS must be

enabled or an optional DGPS antenna fitted (see section 7).

b With WAAS/EGNOS: Boat out of coverage

area (see sec tion 7).

c With WAAS: GPS antenna does not have a

clear view of the horizon towards the equator.

b With beacon DGPS: boat out of range of a

DGPS beacon.

B-2 GPS navigation problems

NAVMAN TRACKER 5507/5607 Installation and Operation Manual

3-1 Number of engines or tanks is wrong

Check that the number of engines and tanks

is correct (see section 15-4).

3-2 Fuel flow(s) seem inaccurate:

a Check that the fuel setup data is correct (see

section 15-4).

b Check that the fuel cable connectors are

securely plugged in and the collar is locked in place. Check the fuel cable is not damaged or pinched.

c A fuel sensor may be blocked.

A fuel filter must be installed between the fuel transducer and the fuel tank as described in the sensor installation manual. Otherwise the warrant y is void.

d Recalibrate the fuel flow sensor(s) (see

section 10-7).

e Check that the fuel filter is clean.

f In rough seas, fuel may surge back and

forth through the fuel sensor(s), resulting in incorrect readings. Try installing a one-way valve between the fuel sensor(s) and the fuel tank.

3-3 Fuel remaining seems inaccurate:

a The 5507/5607 is not wired for auto power

(see section 15-4).

b You added or removed fuel but did not tell

the 5507/5607 (see section 10-3).

c The fuel tank may not refill to the same

capacit y each time due to air pockets. This is a particular problem with underfloor tanks.

3-4 Erratic fuel flow readings:

a The Flow filter value is not suitable for the

engine. Check that the value is not set to zero, then try increasing the value until a steady flow rate is shown (see section 15-4).

b The fuel f low sensor(s) may be too close to

the fuel pump or may be subject to excessive vibration. Refer to the fuel sensor installation manual.

c Check for leak s in the fuel line or in the fuel

pickup in the tank.

3-5 There is no reading for fuel economy:

a The boat must be travelling through the

water to have a reading.

b If you selected a paddlewheel sensor (see

section 10-5-1), check that the paddlewheel spins freely.

Glossary

Appendix C - Glossary and navigation data

NAVMAN TRACKER 5507/5607 Installation and Operation Manual

Navigatio n data

BRG Bearing to Destination: Bearing to the destination from the boat.

BRG Bearing to cursor: Bearing to cursor from boat (cursor mode, see sec tion 3-2)

CDI Course Deviation Indicator: When the boat is navigating to a point, the chart and highway

windows show a parallel line on either side of the plotted course. These two lines are called the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) lines. The distance from the plotted course to a CDI line is the CDI scale.

Set the CDI scale (see section 15-2) to the maximum distance that the boat should deviate

from the plotted course. The chart and highway windows show the CDI lines, which are like a highway over the water where the boat will move. The windows show how far the boat has deviated from the plotted course and if the boat is approaching a CDI line. If the XTE alarm is enabled (see section 15-7) an alarm will sound if the boat reaches a CDI line.

COG Course Over Ground: Direction in which the boat is moving over the ground.

CTS Course To Steer: Optimum course to steer to return to the plot ted course.

DTG Distance To Go: Distance from the boat to the destination.

ETA Expected Time of Arrival: At the destination, assuming that SOG and COG remain constant.

RNG Range to cursor: Distance from boat to cursor (cursor mode, see section 3-2)

SOG Speed Over Ground : Current boat speed over the ground. This is not necessarily the same as

the boat speed through the water nor the speed at which it is approaching the destination.

STR Steering: The diﬀerence between COG and C TS.

TTG Time To Go: The estimated time to reach the destination.

XTE Cross Track Error: The distance from the boat to the nearest point of the plotted course. XTE

may have a letter: R means steer to the right to return to the plotted course, L means steer to the left.

VMG Velocit y Made Good: The speed at which the boat is approaching the destination.
