CP33 Introduction and safety summary Chapter 1-1
1.1 Introduction and system familiarization
Congratulations on your purchase of SIMRAD CP33 Chartplotter - a combination of the latest GPS and SDGPS receiver technology and optional builtin differential receiver for accurate positioning, plus: detailed cartography
- all in a unique slim-line design with a bright 6” TFT color or monochrome
display.
The CP33 chart system includes a built-in world chart for rough planning and
overview. The choice of chart system best suitable for the CP33 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 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 satellitebased 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.
DS33 Dual Station for the CP33 is available with a 6” bright TFT color or
monochrome display. The main unit and the dual station are identical in
design and operation.
How to use this manual?
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 quick introduction to some of the features you have access to in
your new chatplotter.

All C-MAP feature groups i.e. Land settings, Marine settings, Naval aids settings and Paper chart settings are described in Appendix C.
To obtain a ‘cleaner’ view of the chart details, you can turn some of the settings OFF if they do not contribute to the clarity of the chart area you wish
to explore. All the listed objects that can be turned on and off speaks for
themselves - they are either ‘on=shown on the chart’ or ‘off=not shown on the
chart’.
All user data in the CP33 system are listed under ‘Chart settings’ in the display example and are described below:
Chart can be set to NORMAL, COMPRESSED or CHART OFF:
NORMAL - (default) will automatically select the chart level appropriate for
the selected range/scale.
COMPRESSED - will change the range (scale) / chart level ratio one step,
which, depending on the actual chart, will select a more detailed level.
CHART OFF - will only show all the user-made data such as waypoints,
routes, lines and tracks etc.
Landfilling - default=ON. When set to Off there will be no special color to
indicate where there is land i.e. land will be all blue.
Boundary lines (default=ON) will indicate available C-MAP chart areas.
Mixing levels (default =OFF) when set to ON you will no longer see any
blank chart areas, as the C-MAP library will find the missing area in a different level to cover the blank area otherwise left on the screen. However, when
using this feature, chart re-draw time will be increased a little.
Marine presentation can be set to INTERNATIONAL or AMERICAN:
INTERNATIONAL - (default) will present NavAids in ‘real life’ shapes and
colors for quick visual recognition (as per official INT1 standard paper chart
presentation).
AMERICAN - will present NavAids in simplified shapes and real colors (as
generally found on NOAA paper charts).
Simplified draw mode (default=OFF) - when set to ON the NavAids will be
shown in generic symbols for minimum visual clutter on-screen.
Quick chart info (default=ON) - placing the chart cursor on a C-MAP object
will activate a small info window with details on the object. Info window will
automatically close after 10 seconds or when cursor is moved away.
Chapter 3-20 CP33 Chart menu and INFO windows
Chart area can be set to SMALL, MEDIUM or LARGE:
SMALL - (default) will open a small chart area big enough to just fill the size
of the screen. When panning and scrolling, the chart will automatically be
redrawn.
MEDIUM - will open a medium-sized chart area for pan and scroll which
goes beyond the size of the screen. The chart redraw time increases equally.
LARGE - will open a large chart area for pan and scroll in a size which goes
well beyond the size of the screen. The chart redraw time increases equally.
Orientation - can be set to NORTH UP, HEAD UP or NAV UP, and the mode
can be RELATIVE or TRUE motion.
NORTH UP - (default) the chart will always be presented as north up.
HEAD UP - the chart will automatically turn, so your actual course (COG)
is up. If chart cursor is active it will stop the chart from rotating, press [CLR]
to turn cursor off. If a compass is connected, the reference will automatically
change to heading (compass).
NAV UP - the chart will automatically turn, so your bearing to destination is
up. If chart cursor is active it will stop the chart from rotating, press [CLR] to
turn cursor off.
TRUE motion - (default) the ‘ship’ will move across the chart.
RELATIVE motion - (‘Chart area’ will default to MEDIUM). The ‘ship is
locked to the center of the screen and the chart will move.
Rotation resolution - (default=15°) can be set to adjust the chart for each 5,
10, 15, 20 or 25° changes in present course or heading.
Depth: Level 1, 2 and 3 - are identified by different colors. The number of
meters in the levels can be changed. The colors are preset in the Palette setup,
section 9.6.
Grid - (default=AUTO) the LAT/LON grid can be set to AUTO, ON or OFF.
The color of the grid is preset in the Palette setup, section 9.6.
Show range - can be set to WITH BACKGROUND, ON or OFF:
WITH BACKGROUND - (default) will add a small line to the chart display
indicating that the length of the line equals a certain number of nautical miles/
km - the indication is highlighted with a background color.
ON - same as above, but without background color.
OFF - indication is not shown on chart.
Auto chart select - (default=ON) When sailing with ‘Auto chart select’ ON
and cursor turned off, the scale will automatically change to the chart which is
available. But when set to OFF, then the selected scale will remain, also when
CP33 Chart menu and INFO windows Chapter 3-21
sailing ‘out of the chart’.
Extended level range - (default=ON) will enable changing range 3-4 steps
within the same chart level after having selected the range via a numeric key.
The remainder of the objects from ‘Non active waypoints’ can all be set to:
ON= shown on chart; OFF= not shown on chart; AS SELECTED= the choices
made for a particular route etc. via the menu e.g. MENU, 3, 2, ENT, ENT

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 1-3 meters for DGPS
and 2-6 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 setup display on next page.
When using C-MAP electronic charts, the datum will be aligned

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

Status - can either be:
LOCKED = locked on a beacon and receiving differential data.
NOT LOCKED = not locked on a becon and receiving no differential data.
NOT INSTALLED = there is no built-in DGPS module in unit.
NOT IN USE = external DGPS receiver applied.
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.

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”.

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 6.3 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.
The waypoint alarm will be activated when you reach the circle
or the perpendicular line - WP line alarm - crossing through the
waypoint. When “Auto waypoint shift” is set to “WP-circle” it will
override the “WP circle alarm” function.
XTE alarm - forms a corridor along the ideal track. When crossing
one of the boundaries the XTE alarm will be activated.
The alarm will automatically reset once you are inside the limits
again. The alarm distance can be set to anywhere between 0.01 and

Navigation mode - RHUMBLINE navigation is used for shorter
distances, and GREAT CIRCLE for long trips, especially when
crossing at high latitudes. COMPOSITE navigation is used when all
the legs in a route are not set to the same navigation mode.
Auto waypoint shift - can be set to WP-circle, WP-line or OFF.
When set to WP-circle, the system will change to the next waypoint
in the route after passing the circle line (border).
When set to WP-line, the system will change to next waypoint in the
