SAFETY NOTICES
This radar equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the
instructions contained in this manual. Failure to do so can result in personal
injury and/or navigational inaccuracies. In particular:
1. HIGH VOLTAGE. The LCD 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.
2. ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY. The radar scanner transmits
electromagnetic energy. It is important that the radar is turned off whenever
personnel are required to come close to the scanner to perform work on the
scanner assembly or associated equipment.
It is recommended that the radar scanner is mounted out of range of personnel
(above head height).
Avoid looking directly at the antenna as your eyes are the most sensitive part of
the body to electromagnetic energy.
When properly installed and operated, the use of this radar will conform to the
requirements of ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 Standard for Safety Levels with
Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3Hz
to 300 GHz and NRPB, Board Statement on Restrictions on Human Exposure
to Static and Time Varying Electromagnetic Fields and Radiation. Doc NRPB,
N0. 5 (1993).
2. NAVIGATION AID. This unit is only an aid to navigation. Its accuracy can
be affected by many factors, including equipment failure or defects,
environmental conditions, and improper handling or use. It is the user’s
responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational judgements.
This radar unit should not be relied upon as a substitute for such prudence and
judgement.

Chapter 1: Overview
1.1 Introduction
This handbook describes the following HSB Series systems:
RL70C Pathfinder Radar, 7" Color LCD Display
RL70CRC Pathfinder Radar & Chartplotter, 7" Color LCD Display
RC530 Chartplotter, 7" Color LCD Display
RL80C Pathfinder Radar, 10.4"Color LCD Display
RL80CRC Pathfinder Radar & Chartplotter, 10.4" Color LCD Display
RC631 Chartplotter, 10.4" Color LCD Display
If you have an HSB Series LCD display, it is possible to connect another HSB
series LCD or CRT display to provide an integrated system. Connecting an
HSB Series Pathfinder Radar display to a chartplotter provides similar
functionality to the Combined Pathfinder Radar/Chartplotter display; the
radar data can be repeated on the chart display and chart data repeated on the
radar display.
This handbook describes the display unit controls and details both radar and
chart operations. Controls that are specific to either radar or chartplotter are
described in radar or chart sections/chapters.
Note: Many illustrations in this handbook show example screens. The screen
you see on your display depends on your system configuration and set up options, so it may differ from the illustration.

many of the chartplotter functions.
Chapters 3 provides detailed operating information for the main radar
functions - adjusting the radar picture; measuring distances and bearings;
setting guard zones and alarms.
Chapter 4 provides detailed operating information for integrated radar
system functions, including using marks, man overboard and cursor echo.
Chapter 5 provides detailed operating information for the standard
chartplotter functions - using chart cards, plotting waypoints and routes,
following routes and showing tracks.
Chapter 6 provides detailed operating information for further chart functions,
including measuring distances, man overboard and cursor echo. It includes
instructions for setting up a differential GPS.
Chapter 7 provides instructions for setting up your system to suit your
preferences. You should read this chapter to determine how to set up the radar
and chartplotter system defaults.
Chapter 8 provides planning considerations and detailed instructions for
installing the display unit. It should be referred to when you are ready to install
the system. Details to connect the display to other equipment are also
provided. To install a complete radar system, you will also need to read the
Owner’s Handbook supplied with the scanner.
Chapter 9 provides information on user maintenance, and what to do if you
experience problems.
The Appendices provide additional information that you may find useful:
Appendix A lists the technical specifications for the radar and for the
chartplotter.
Appendix B provides details on connecting the display unit to specific GPS
systems.
Appendix C defines the chart features shown on the chart display.

end of the handbook.
Chapter 1: Overview 1-3
A summary of the radar and chartplotter controls are provided on the Quick
Reference Cards supplied with your system.
Terminology
The following terminology is used to describe radar and chartplotter systems:
Master A unit capable of sourcing specific data such as
fishfinder, chart or radar data.
Repeater A unit capable of displaying data, such as radar, from
the HSB.
Fishfinder Display Unit providing Fishfinder Master and Radar Repeater
functionality. The L755 and L760 displays also
provide Chart Master functionality.
Radar Display Unit providing Radar Master, Fishfinder Repeater
and Chart Repeater functionality.
Chart Display Unit providing Chart Master, Fishfinder Repeater and
Radar Repeater functionality.
General
General
Combined DisplayUnit providing both Fishfinder and Chart or Radar and
Chart Master functionality.
Integrated System Additional instruments are connected via the HSB,
Seatalk or NMEA interfaces.
HSB™ High Speed Bus - links compatible display units.
For full display and control between HSB Series display
units, the units must be connected via HSB and SeaTalk.
The HSB Series Pathfinder Radar or Pathfinder Radar/Chartplotter, illustrated
below, comprises the 7"or 10.4" Color LCD display unit, scanner unit and
associated cables. The RC530 and RC631 Chartplotters cannot be connected
to the scanner unit.

Figure 1-1: Radar System
Display Unit
The HSB Series LCD display unit is waterproof to CFR46 and can be installed
either above or below deck.
The unit includes:
• 7" or 10.4" color LCD display
• Trackpad
D5037-1
• Eleven dedicated (labeled) control keys
• Four soft keys (unlabeled) whose functionality changes
®
• Two slots for the C-MAP NT
chart cards
The display and keys can be illuminated for night-time use.
The HSB (High Speed Bus) connection enables transfer of data between two
compatible units. For example, the radar data is transferred from the radar (the
master display) via the HSB connection and can be displayed and controlled
on any other HSB Series LCD or CRT display (the repeater display). In
particular, you can connect your HSB Series Pathfinder Radar to a remote
HSB Series Chartplotter or Fishfinder/chartplotter to provide similar
functionality to the combined Pathfinder Radar/Chartplotter.
Full functionality of the radar/chartplotter is achieved when it is part of an
integrated system, with other equipment (in addition to another HSB unit)
connected via SeaTalk or NMEA 0183. Data from this equipment including
position and heading is displayed on the display and is used in calculations.
Details on connecting other equipment are given in Chapter 8.
Scanner
The HSB Series Pathfinder Radar is supplied with a scanner unit which
illuminates targets with microwave energy and then collects the returns from
Chapter 1: Overview 1-5
those targets. The scanner includes a sensitive low-noise front end receiver,
and a variety of clutter attenuation controls to maintain target resolution.
Installation of the scanner is described separately in the Scanner Owner’s
Handbook. The scanner is adjusted and operated from the display unit, so
these details are provided in this HSB Series Colour LCD Display Handbook.
The scanner can be switched between transmit and standby modes. It also has
a power-saving timed transmit mode which pauses between bursts of
transmissions.

1.2 The Pathfinder Radar Display
The Pathfinder
Radar Display
When a scanner is connected and the radar is in Transmit mode, the radar
picture provides a map-like representation of the area in which the radar is
operating. Typically, your ship’s position is at the centre of the display, and its
dead ahead bearing is indicated by a vertical heading line, known as the Ship’s
Heading Marker (SHM).
The radar picture can be viewed with a variety of fixed or customised range
scales. The colour of the radar returns (echoes) indicates their intensity: the
largest returns are shown in yellow and the weakest are shown in light blue. A
status bar at the top of the radar image displays range, current heading and
mode indicators for the various options you can set.
An example radar picture is shown on the next page, with example radar
returns (echoes) and default Pathfinder Radar information. The Status Bar
indicator is also illustrated.
The radar display can show additional information, depending on your
currently selected options, set up selections and the data available from other
equipment. The example displays on the following pages show some of these
features.
Functions are available to control the display as follows:
• Zoom the Display
• Offset your vessel from the centre of the radar picture
Operation of these functions is described in Chapter 2.
Pathfinder Radar Options
Set up options allow you to customise the radar image by choosing what is
displayed, how it is displayed (including language and units), heading mode
and how the radar operates with other HSB units. You can also view the cursor
position and a variety of data from other equipment, e.g. speed, heading,
depth, wind and tide information in a set of user-selectable data boxes. The
cursor box and user-selected data boxes can be moved around the screen and
they can be turned on or off.
Display options are provided in System Set Up and Radar Set Up as described
in Chapter 7:Setting Up the System Defaults. In addition, Screen Presentation
Options, described in Chapter 2:Getting Started & Adjusting the Displayare
provided to switch:
• Cursor Box and Databoxes On/Off
• Range Rings On/Off
• Waypoint Display On/Off
Note: When you turn the display off and on again, these settings are retained
in memory.

1.3 The Chartplotter Display
The HSB Series LCD Display can include a Chartplotter. The chartplotter
includes a small-scale world map and detailed navigation information is
displayed when a cartographic chart card is installed. A plotter mode is
provided to enable route plotting and tracking at large scales even when a chart
card is not installed A typical chartplotter screen is shown in Figure 1-3
The chartplotter uses position information from a GPS, DGPS or Loran-C
instrument. Once the position fix has been established, your vessel’s position,
if on screen, is shown as a boat shape pointing in the direction of the current
heading (or COG if heading data is not available). If no heading or COG data
is available, the vessel is shown as a circle.
The chartplotter screen includes a status bar that displays chart scale, with
either cursor position, range and bearing or, when the cursor is homed to the
vessel (by pressing
and Course Over Ground (COG).
Any waypoints you have placed are displayed (unless you turned them off in
Chart Set Up as described in Chapter 7) and the current route is shown.
Information can be viewed on-screen by positioning the cursor over a
waypoint, current route or chart object. The chartplotter screen can also show
additional information, depending on your currently selected options, set up
selections and data available from other equipment.
