CP34/44/54 Introduction and safety summary Chapter 1-1
1.1 Introduction and system familiarization
Congratulations on your purchase of SIMRAD CP34/44/54 Chartplotter a combination of the latest GPS and SDGPS receiver technology and optional
built-in differential receiver for accurate positioning, plus: detailed cartography; all in a unique slim-line design with a bright 7” TFT (CP34), 10” ATFT/
TFT (CP44) or 15” TFT (CP54) 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 CP34/44/
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 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.
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 CP34/44/54 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: CP34,
CP44 and CP54, which mainly share the same type of software. From hereon,
these models will be referred to as: CPXX.
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 chartplotter.

CP34/44/54 Fundamentals & initial start-up Chapter 2-1
2.1 Fundamentals of the display and page system
The CP34/44/54 Chartplotter 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 CP34/44/54 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

For safety reasons, navigation with electronic charts should always
be combined with authorized paper charts.
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).
To access one of the displays via the menu e.g.:

Press the minus key to zoom in for details (smaller range)
+
Press the plus key to zoom out for overview (greater range)
Using the extended level range will give the best result when changing chart range. First use one of the numeric keys (Quick-Range
1-9) to select the required chart, then ‘fine tune’ the range within
the same chart level by using the +/- keys. Depending on the actual
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
setup.
