CE34/44/54 Introduction and safety summary Chapter 1-1
1.1 Introduction and system familiarization
Congratulations on your purchase of SIMRAD CE34/44/54 ChartSounder
- a combination of the latest GPS and SDGPS receiver technology and optional
built-in differential receiver for accurate positioning, plus: detailed cartography
and high performance echosounder; all in a unique slim-line design with a bright
7” TFT (CE34), 10” ATFT/TFT (CE44) or 15” TFT (CE54) color display.
The electronic chart system includes a built-in world chart for rough planning
and overview. The choice of chart system best suitable for the CE34/44/54 was
carefully singled out to be the C-MAP NT+ mini cards. The optional C-MAP
charts are available world-wide at your local Simrad dealer.
The echosounder system with selectable frequencies will provide an impression
of Bottom expansion, VRM expansion, Shift, A-scope and White line.
The Global Positioning System is at this time and age the most common system
used for navigation and positioning all over the world. Not only for maritime use,
but also for land-based applications and aviation. The satellite-based system has
been developed and is operated by the US Department of Defense in order to
provide an accurate and reliable service, which include a 24-hour global coverage. The GPS system consists of approx. 24 satellites which orbit around the
Earth at an altitude of approx. 20,200 km.
The satellites transmit perfectly synchronized data. However, depending on the
position, the signals will reach the receiver at a slightly different time. By adding
the measured time difference to the known position of the satellites it is possible
to calculate the ship’s position to within a few meters.
The SimNet data and control network provides high speed data transfer and control between Simrad products that are integrated as a total navigation, steering
and communication system on board.
DS34/44/54 Dual Station for the CE34/44/54 is available with a bright 7” TFT,
10” ATFT/TFT or 15” TFT color display. The main unit and the dual station are
identical in design and operation.
How to use this manual? This manual is written for the products: CE34, CE44
and CE54, which mainly share the same type of software. From hereon, these
models will be referred to as: CEXX.
It is a good idea if you make yourself familiar with the key functions, menu
structure and rotation of pages (screens) described in chapter 2 before you start
out, and then proceed with section 2.7 Initial start-up. For quick location of a
certain term, please check the “Glossary of terms” and the “Index” at the back of
the manual. Also, “How to get started” further on in this chapter will give you a
Chapter 1-2 CE34/44/54 Introduction and safety summary
quick introduction to some of the features you have access to in your new chart
sounder. The display examples shown in this manual are not always an exact
copy of what you will see on the screen, as the presentation depends on your
system configuration and choices of setup.
How to interpret special marked key symbols etc. in the manual:

CE34/44/54 Fundamentals & initial start-up Chapter 2-1
2.1 Fundamentals of the display and page system
The CE34/44/54 ChartSounder has a multi-function screen and
data presentation system with full screen and different types of split
screens. The series of pages under the function keys (situated in a
vertical row to the right of the display) will in most situations be sufficient information for the operator.
In split screens consisting of up to four displays, the active display
is indicated by a solid red frame. Use the [WIN] key to clockwise
toggle between which display on the screen is active. Only active
displays are operable.
The [PAGE] key differs from the other function keys. There are
three pages under the [PAGE] key which can be set up to the presentation you prefer by exchanging an existing display in the PAGE
system with a new one selected from a function key or via the menu
- see next page. Single press on the [PAGE] key will toggle between
the active pages under the function keys e.g.:
Chapter 2-2 CE34/44/54 Fundamentals & initial start-up
Long press on the [PAGE] key will start a
rotation of the three pages in intervals of
5 seconds (increase/decrease the time in
[MENU], [6], [1]). Press any key to stop
rotation.
2.1.1 Example of how to exchange a page in the PAGE system
The three pages in the PAGE system are collected from the CHART,
ECHO and PILOT menus in the sequence of which the function keys
appear on the keypad ie. the first page is from the CHART function,
the second page is from the ECHO function and the third page is
from the PILOT function. This sequence can not be changed, only
the choice of display collected from each function can be changed
e.g.:
PAGE
Press the [PAGE] key until the full screen Chart display appears
MENU
Call up the menu bar, and...
1,2
collect the Dual Chart display
- or you can toggle between the available displays in the CHART
function by pressing (long press) the [CHART] key repeatedly.
The same applies for the other two pages in the PAGE system ie.
press the [PAGE] key until a display from the ECHO or PILOT
function appears and then collect a new display from the appropriate
menu.
The display sequence under the function keys is the same as the
display sequence in the matching menu.
2.1.2 Example of how to select a new display in a custom screen
In custom screens with multiple window combinations, all displays, which are not main function displays, are exchangeable. It is
also possible to change the right half of the screen from half screen
window to two quarter windows and vice versa. Example:
MENU
Call up the menu bar, and...
CE34/44/54 Fundamentals & initial start-up Chapter 2-3
Highlight a function e.g. Route calculation in the WP/RTE menu.
WIN
Press [WIN] several times to check the screen image (situated to the
far right in the top line of the menu bar) which windows the function
can be placed into
ENT
Press [ENT] to enter the highlighted function into the highlighted
window
If the function text in the menu is red, the display will not be avail-
able for the selected window.
2.2 Key functions
Some of the key functions are general and can be applied at any
time, other key functions are related to a certain menu(s) and can
only be applied when in the appropriate menu.
MOB
Press for two seconds to activate the MOB - “Man overboard” function.
MENU
Turns the menu bar on/off. Exits any data display without taking any

Moves left/right/up/down in the menu system. Adjusts gain (left/
right), activates and moves VRM (up/down) in echo display.
+/-
Changes chart or echosounder range i.e. + (plus) zooms out for better
overview (larger range) and - (minus) zooms in for greater chart
details (smaller range). Toggles between available values.
GOTO
Activates GOTO menu with choice of navigation modes, etc.
PLOT

The chart display opens for the built-in world chart, as well as the
optional, detailed C-MAP electronic chart system, which of course
will require that a C-MAP NT+ C-card is inserted in one of the
drawers below the keypad. The chart appearing in full screen with
smaller range as default, is the only chart which can be inserted into
a different display via the menu.
The Dual Chart display will provide a chart in two different scales,
one for detail (smaller range) and one for overview (greater range).
The two custom screens will present multiple window combinations (section 3.1), where the chart with greater range as default will
be fixed in a quarter window. The chart with smaller range will be
fixed in the left half window in both custom screens. Adjustments
can be made individually to each chart (section 3.5).

chart, you can zoom in or out two to three times before the extended
level range is switched off and the chart changes to a new level of
details.
The extended level range can be toggled OFF/ON in General settings
(default = OFF) - see section 3.5 Chart setup.
Chart details may not be available in all scales in all areas. Noncovered areas will be marked as hatched or all blue/white with
coordinate grid (when Grid is set to AUTO (default) in chart setup),
depending on the actual scale - see section 3.5 Chart setup for more
details in regard to what can be shown on the chart and what you
may choose not to have shown.
The built-in world chart can be zoomed up/down in six steps, from
a scale of approx. 1:33,000,000 to 1:2,000,000.
An over-zoom function enables you to zoom beyond the chart,
which automatically is switched off and replaced by a lat/long coordinate grid. In this mode, the scale can go down to 1:600.
‘Auto chart select’ must be switched OFF, see section 3.5 Chart

CE34/44/54 Echo menu Chapter 4-1
4. Echosounder operation
The echosounder function of the CEXX determines the distance
between its transducer and underwater objects such as fish, lake
bottom or sea bed. It does this by utilizing the fact that an ultrasonic
wave transmitted through water travels at a nearly constant speed
of 4800 feet (1500 meters) per second. When a sound wave strikes
an underwater object such as fish or sea bottom, part of the sound
wave is reflected back toward the source. Thus by calculating the
time difference between the transmission of a sound wave and the
reception of the reflected sound wave, the depth to the object can be
determined.
The entire process begins in the display unit. Transmitter power is
sent to the transducer as a short pulse of electrical energy. The electrical signal produced by the transmitter is converted into an ultrasonic signal by the transducer and transmitted into the water. Any
reflected signals from intervening objects (such as a fish school)
are received by the transducer and converted back into an electrical signal. It is then amplified in the amplifier section, and finally,
displayed on the screen.
The picture displayed is made up of a series of vertical scan lines
(pings), one for each transmission. Each line represents a ‘snapshot’
of what has occurred beneath the boat. The series of snapshots are
accumulated side by side across the screen, and the resulting contours of the bottom and fish between the bottom and surface are
displayed.
Selecting echosounder displays
The CEXX provides various types of echosounder displays: standard echogram, bottom expansion (zoom), VRM expansion, and shift
mode. Each display has its special advantages. Select the appropriate setup for the echosounder display in the presentation “Setup”
and “Echosounder setup” displays, considering current sea area and
target fish.

Range start – allows the user to set the displayed depth range to
begin at some point below the surface. For example, a 100 meter displayed range can be “phased” downwards, so that the screen shows
a 100 meter section beginning at, say, 200 meters and going to 300
meters depth.
Range – refers to the distance shown from the top to the bottom of
Chapter 4-8 CE34/44/54 Echo menu
the display screen. Selecting Auto range will cause the CEXX to
change the basic range setting(s) to keep the displayed bottom in
the lower half of the display. For instance, as your boat moves into
deeper waters, the system will automatically switch to a deeper
range, always keeping the displayed bottom in the lower half of the
display. Manual range allows the operator to set the range displayed
on the screen.
Gain – is another way of saying “sensitivity”, or possibly “volume”.
Increasing the gain setting of the CEXX will allow you to see smaller
and deeper targets. If the gain is set too high, however, you will begin
to see “noise” and unwanted targets. Generally speaking, you want to
set the gain control just below the point that you begin to see speckles
of “noise” between surface and the bottom on the screen.
White line – is a control which places a white/black line at the
displayed sea floor and blanks out 4 pixels just below the line. The
purpose of this is to help the user detect targets, such as fish, which
are very close to the sea floor and whose echoes tend to merge with
those of the sea floor itself.
Expansion window (zoom level) – can be selected in eight steps,
ranging from 1 to 50 meters, or converted to feet or fathoms (refer
to Setup for units, section 8.4). This function allows you to take a
closer look at a particular section of the water underneath your boat.
You can expand the view near the bottom (Bottom expansion) or
near the Variable Range Marker (VRM expansion).
TVG – Time Varying Gain – is a control that allows the CEXX to
make corrections for most of the losses and absorption that occurs as
sound energy passes through sea water. There are three settings to
choose from, Normal, Special and OFF.
The setting “Normal (20 log R) is for general fish finding at depths
down to 50m (150’) and it will also give a uniform bottom echo presentation at shallow, mid and deep water.
The setting “Special (40 log R) will adjust the TVG to show the same
echo strength for a given size fish at varying depths.
The OFF position is used for net sounders. In OFF position the TVG
is inactive which means that the sounder operates with a fixed gain
between each transmitter pulse. Auto range is switched to manual.
Ping to ping filter – can be set to either on or off. With the filter
“off”, then each received echo will be reflected on the screen.
Whereas with the filter “ON”, the system will compare every two
CE34/44/54 Echo menu Chapter 4-9
echoes received and only reflect on the screen what is received from
both echoes, which will give a more uncluttered recording.
Signal threshold – can be set to ON to eliminate the appearance
of unwanted noise. The threshold level is automatic and the feature
should be used with caution, as it may eliminate small fish and small
unidentified objects on the screen.
Color threshold – the color threshold function allows the “weaker”
targets and noise which may be shown on the display screen to be
eliminated from the display. These targets are usually shown in the
weaker target colors such as blues and greens. The Color threshold allows you to choose not to display the blues, or the blues and
greens, etc. Doing this will leave only the stronger targets on the
display screen.
Depth grid - enables a more precise reading of depth and target relations across the screen.
Transmit pulse leng th – can be set OFF to observe noise in the
water (Auto range will switch to manual mode). Set to AUTO, the
optimum setting will be applied according to the water depth. Or it
can be set manually, if a specific pulse length is required:
SHORT less than 10m deep water
MEDIUM between 10 and 50 m deep water
LONG more than 50m deep water
A long pulse will reach deeper but give less resolution.
Transmit power – should normally be left on AUTOmatic.
CE34 settings are: AUTO, 600W, 100W, 10W and OFF.
CE44/54 settings are: AUTO, 1000W, 500W, 100W, 10W and OFF.
Scroll synchronization – the screen can be updated on the basis of
time or distance (when data from last ping appears on the display).
Scroll speed – is the ping rate and movement of the presentation of
echoes on the screen, moving from right to left. It is adjustable (Low,
Medium, High, Freeze), to allow the user to show a longer “history”
on the display screen, if desired.
Chapter 4-10 CE34/44/54 Echo menu
4.8 How the echosounder works
When the CEXX is turned on, a transmitter begins
to send electrical pulses to the transducer. The
ceramic resonators in the transducer has a special
property which enables it to change dimensions
slightly when a varying voltage is applied.
The voltage is thus converted to mechanical vibrations (sound waves) which are then transmitted down
through the water.
See Fig. 1.
Fig. 1 Transmi ed ‘ping’
from the transmi er/receiver.
The sound waves move through the water until they
encounter a change in density, such as a fish or the
bottom. This causes the sound waves to ‘echo’ back
up through the water. When the reflected sound
waves (echoes) hit the transducer, the ceramic disk
vibrates at the same frequency. This generates a
varying voltage between the disk surfaces. This voltage goes back up through the cable to the receiver.
The CEXX amplifies and processes the signals and
presents them on the display screen.
See Fig. 2.
Fig. 2 The up arrow indicates:
Echo returning to the receiver.
The down arrow indicates:
Transmi ed pulse.
CE34/44/54 Echo menu Chapter 4-11
4.9 Transducer beamwidth
The transducer mounted to the hull of your vessel serves as both
a ‘speaker’ when transmitting, and as a ‘microphone’ when the
echosounder is receiving. Similar to the way a flashlight focuses
light, most of the sound from your transducer is focused downwards
with a smaller amount going out to the sides. The amount of focusing
of the sound beam is expressed as a ‘beamwidth’.
Transducer
Approximation of the sound
pattern below the transducer
This angle is the transducer’s
beamwidth
1/2 maximum intensity
Maximum intensity
Fig. 3 A representation of a transducer bemwidth.
The center of the sound beam is the most intense, then as you move
out towards the sides of the sound beam there is a point where the
intensity of the sound is half what it was in the center. The distance
moved is the ‘beamwidth’. See Fig. 3.
Chapter 4-12 CE34/44/54 Echo menu
4.10 Effects of the vessel’s speed
The presentation of fish on the CEXX depends directly on the vessel’s speed, as well as on the depth of the fish. When the vessel is
at rest, the echo traces will appear stretched and flattened. As the
vessel’s speed becomes greater, the echo traces will become shorter
and more arched. The reason for this change in appearance is that as
the vessel speed increases, fewer number of sound ‘pings’ strike each
fish. A low vessel speed will provide the most accurate information
of where fish are loacted.

Anchor alarm distance - When setting anchor, check/change the
preset alarm distance, etc., so you will be warned in case you drift
too far from the anchored position. The alarm distance can be set to
anywhere between 0.01 and 9.99nm. See also section 5.10 Anchor
guard. The alarm will automatically reset once you are inside the
limits again.
WP circle alarm - forms a circle around each waypoint, and the
alarm distance can be set to anywhere between 0.01 and 9.99nm.

Status indicator and accuracy
Small letters (a,b,c,) indicate that SA is active, and the position
accuracy is expected to be better than 100 meters in 95% of the time.
Capital letters indicate that SA is OFF, and the position accuracy is
then expected to be 15 meters or better in 95% of the time.
dGPS indicates that differential data is received, either via built-in
differential receiver or from external receiver.
DGPS or SDGPS indicates that the position is corrected by the differential data. The accuracy will typically be 2-5 meters for DGPS
and 3-7 meters for SDGPS.
In order to utilize the high accuracy of the GPS system, it is necessary to align the lat/long calculations to the paper charts you are
using. Refer to Position display setup below.
When using C-MAP electronic charts, the datum will be aligned

HDOP, PDOP and DOP limits
The value of HDOP (horizontal dilution of precision) expresses “the
quality” of the satellite geometry in relation to 2D positioning and a
fixed antenna altitude.
PDOP (position dilution of precision) is equivalent to 3D
positioning. The values will typically stay between 1.3
and 8. The lower the value the higher the “quality”. A
poor geometry might produce a value of more than 20.
If preset DOP limit is exceeded (indicated by * in the
position display) it will cause the position updating to
stop until it once again is within the limit.
The DOP limit can be changed manually, but should not be set to
higher than 8 (default), as this may result in poor accuracy i.e. false

Beacon is monitored - YES or NO.
If YES it should be safe to rely on the received differential data,
because the beacon station’s performance is under observation.
If NO, then you have to use the received differential data with caution, as there is no guarantee it is not faulty.
Frequency - the frequency of the beacon station can be set manually
if known. However, when left in AUTO the navigator will always
search for the nearest station with a good signal strength.
Bit rate - indicates bits per second, and can be set manually to 25,
50, 100 or 200 bps.
Signal strength - a good signal strength is 20 and up.
Signal to noise ratio (SNR) - should be 8dB and up.
Message - type 16 message will be displayed when received from
the DGPS system. The contents of this message could be something
to do with the performance of the system. Temporarily out of service
etc.

6.7 SDGPS information
The SDGPS - satellite differential GPS - is preset to full automatic
operation, which means that the system will utilize the position corrections from either differential GPS stations (refer to section 6.6)
or satellite differential GPS signals from WAAS, EGNOS or MSAS
(refer to section 6.7.1).

SDGPS select mode determines which differential corrections can
be used in the position determination:
AUTO is default mode. Local area DGPS corrections are used when
available. If not available, then SDGPS corrections are used (if these
are available).
PAS SI VE mode: SDGPS corrections are never used (see sec.6.7.1).
MANUAL mode: SDGPS corrections are used (if available). Local
area DGPS corrections are not used.

Uses corrections from - indicates which differential corrections
(DGPS or SDGPS) are currently used for position determination.
CHANNEL 1: sat.no. - indicates which satellite number and name
is currently tracked/searched by channel 1, and what is the tracking
state.
Corrections - indicates if corrections are being received on this
channel. If YES: is the quality of the reception sufficiently high for
the corrections to be usable.
NONE: no corrections are received.
RECEIVED: corrections are received, but of insufficient quality.
USABLE: corrections are received and of sufficient quality.
USED: corrections received on this channel are used in the position
determination.
Integrity messages ok - the SDGPS system will transmit messages
concerning the integrity of the GPS satellites. This line will indicate
whether such messages are received and reliable.
Range used for position fix - if the receiver is tracking a particular
SDGPS satellite, it “knows” the distance to that satellite. This line
will indicate whether the distance is used in the position determination.
Type 0 warning received - if an SDGPS satellite is not operating according to specifications it will transmit a so-called “Type 0
warning”. In this situation, the receiver will not use any information
that it might receive from that satellite. Until the SDGPS system is
declared operational, the SDGPS satellites will always transmit Type
0 warnings.
It is possible (but not recommendable) to override the Type 0 warn-
ings - refer to last line in SDGPS setup: “Ignore type 0 warnings:
NO” should be changed to “YES”.

6.7.1 Satellites in SDGPS system
The SDGPS system consist of eight orbiting geostationary satellites and is designed to form a seamless global augmentation system
consisting of Waas (USA), EGNOS (Europe) and MSAS (Japan). If
all three parts would become operative at the same time, there would
be no performance problem. However, since WAAS is the only
system currently in normal operation, the WAAS correction signals
can have a negative effect on receivers operating in Europe and Far
East outside the intended WAAS coverage area. In these areas, we
recommend that the ‘SDGPS select mode’ is changed from ‘AUTO’
to ‘PASSIVE’.
Refer to Addendum no. 183-0002-000 (included in the package) for
up-to-date information on the current status of the SDGPS system.
