Important information i

Important Information

Intended use

The display units detailed in this handbook may form part of marine navigational radar system or GPS system intended for use on (non-IMO/SOLAS class) leisure vessels or small workboats.

This handbook contains important information on the operation and maintenance of your E-Series Display. To get the best results in operation and performance, please take the time to read this handbook thoroughly.

For full details of installation and system integration, please refer to the E-Series Installation Guide supplied with the display.

Safety notices

WARNING:Navigation Aid

This device is intended to be used as an aid to navigation. Its accuracy can be affected by many factors, including equipment failure or defects, environmental conditions and incorrect handling or use. It is the user’s responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational judgement. This device should not be relied upon as a substitute for such prudence and judgement.

WARNING:Product installation

This equipment must be installed in accordance with the instructions in the E-Series System Installation Guide. Failure to do so could result in poor product performance, personal injury and/ or damage to the vessel.

WARNING:High voltage

The display unit and scanner unit contain high voltages. Adjustments require specialized service procedures and tools only available to qualified service technicians - there are no user serviceable parts or adjustments. The operator should never remove the display unit cover or attempt to service the equipment.

WARNING:Electromagnetic energy

The radar scanner transmits electromagnetic energy. Ensure that the scanner has been installed according to the recommendations given in the relevant scanner handbook. Avoid looking directly at the antenna.

ii E-Series Networked Display Reference Manual

WARNING:Fishfinder sounder module

Removing the transducer cable from the rear of the fishfinder sounder module whilst it is switched on can cause sparks. Only remove the transducer cable after power has been switched off. Ensure that the sounder module is mounted where it is well ventilated and in an area free from flammable vapors.

CAUTION: Water Ingress To prevent the ingress of water and consequent damage to the display, ensure that the chart card door is firmly closed. This can be confirmed by an audible click.

CAUTION: CompactFlash Cards

• Removing the CompactFlash card whilst information is being written to or read from it may cause damage to the card and loss of all data. Use the proper procedure detailed on page 20 to remove the card.

• Only one CompactFlash card per display can be used at any one time.

• Do not save data (waypoints, routes etc.) to a Navionics card as the charts may be overwritten. When archiving use a different CompactFlash card.

• DO NOT use a metallic instrument such as a screwdriver or pliers to help you remove a card, as doing this can cause irreparable damage.

CAUTION: Global Positioning System Antenna Do not connect or disconnect the GPS antenna from the display unit whilst power is switched on. Doing this may result in irreparable damage.

CAUTION: UV Light To provide protection against the damaging effects of UV light, it is advisable to replace the sun cover provided when the display is not in use.

CAUTION: Cleaning the display Take care when cleaning the display, to avoid damaging it:

(1) Do NOT wipe the display screen with a dry cloth, as this could scratch

(2) Do NOT use acid, ammonia based or abrasive products.

Disclaimers

Electronic charts are an aid to navigation designed to facilitate the use of authorized government charts, not to replace them. Only official government charts and notices to mariners contain the current information needed for safe navigation. The Captain is responsible for their prudent use. The E-Series and its charts do not therefore exclude the user from carrying the required official charts and documents.

When used as part of a SeaTalk system it will display information from other SeaTalk and NMEA instruments. It can also be networked with other E-Series displays by way of Raymarine’s SeaTalk High Speed switch. Information from the E-Series display can be transferred between applications and to other SeaTalk instruments within the system. For more detail on system integration, please refer to the Installation Guide.

1.2 What can the E-Series Display do?

With the appropriate equipment connected to your system and the necessary data available, your E-Series display combines the following applications which are used to:

Chart (Chapter 4)

0.5nm North-Up (Relative Motion) Local

You will need a chart card, and position/heading data, for the chart application to be fully functional.

Locate where you are. Interpret your surroundings. Monitor where you are going. Record where you have been. Navigate to a specified position (waypoint). Build and navigate routes. View details of nearby features & services. View details of boats equipped with AIS. Distinguish between fixed and moving objects. Measure distances and bearings.

D7363_2

3-D Chart (Chapter 5)

Display a 3D view of land, sea & features. Locate where you are. Interpret your surroundings.

Draft

Monitor where you are going. Go to an existing waypoint. Navigate a route. Synchronize with the 2D chart. Identify fishing spots

You will need a chart card and accurate heading and position data for your 3D chart application to be fully functional.

Fishfinder (Chapter 6)

200kHz: Auto Range: Auto

TRANSDUCER

ZOOM… BOTTOM LOCK… A-SCOPE… PRESENTATION…

1.3 The Simulator

The E-Series Display includes a simulator mode, which allows you to practice operating your display without data from a GPS antenna, radar scanner. fishfinder or an AIS receiver. The simulator mode is switched on/off in the System Setup Menu (see

page 262

• Before installation - Simply connect the display to a 12V DC power supply,

• After installation - Whilst in a marina or at anchor.

Please note that system settings made whilst in simulator mode, are not transmitted via SeaTalk to other equipment.

Important: Incoming AIS safety messages cannot be displayed while the simulator is switched on.

). Once enabled, you can use the simulator:

fused at 1 amp by attaching the red core from the power lead to positive (+) and the black core to negative (-).
