CP44/54 Introduction and safety summary Chapter 1-1

1.1 Introduction and system familiarization

Congratulations on your purchase of SIMRAD CP44/54 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 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 CP44/54
was carefully singled out to be the C-MAP NT+ mini cards. The optional C­MAP 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.

DS44/54 Dual Station for the CP44/54 is available with a bright 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: CP44 and
CP54, which 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.

Chapter 1-2 CP44/54 Introduction and safety summary

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

cut on the sharp edges of the glass pieces.

 The lifetime of the internal battery is minimum 5 years. If not exchanged

before it goes flat, all data in the unit’s memory will be lost. We strongly

recommend that you frequently store your data on a Simrad DataCard. For
exchange of battery, call your local Simrad workshop.

Power source, fuse and power cable: Check that the DC power supplied to
the unit is within the range of 10 to 32 volts. Note that the appropriate fuse
must be employed (see the fuse rating in section 9.4 Specifications). Ensure
that the power cord is firmly attached.

Grounding: To reduce electrical interference and risk of electrical shock,
properly ground the unit to the ship’s ground using the ground screw at the
rear of the unit. Good grounding should also be exercised for connected equip­ment, refer to separate Installation manual.

Cleaning:

Do not use any kind of strong solvents e.g. spirit, alcohol, gasoline or oils.

CP44/54 Fundamentals & initial start-up Chapter 2-1

2.1 Fundamentals of the display and page system

The CP44/54 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 the left
column of the keypad) 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 CP44/54 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...

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...

 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 both charts (section 3.5).

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

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.

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
position. To change the DOP limit from the satellite status display

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

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.

7.9 Data transfer via DataCard or disc

Data transfer to and from external memory can be performed via
Simrad DataCard, or with a Simrad TL50 Turbo Loader via an ordi­nary 1.44Mb disc.

DataCards and TL50 Turbo Loader are optional equipment available
from your local Simrad dealer.
How to perform data transfers via TL50 (including data from Ship­mate RS2500 Trackplotter) is described in the TL50 manual.

Use the Simrad DataCard or TL50 Turbo Loader to make backup
files of all the user data you have created plus the current setups
in the internal memory of the unit. Do it whenever you have added
important data, or when you wish to transfer routes and waypoints,
etc. to another compatible unit. The storage capacity of the Data­Card/TL50 disc is divided into two databanks of each 450 Kb, mean­ing that the entire internal memory can be stored in one databank.

User data generated by other chartplotter models e.g. CE33/40/42/52,
CP33/40/42/52, CA40/42/52, CR40/42/52 can all be transferred to a
CP44/54 unit via the Data transfer system.

However, it is not immediately accessible to transfer data via Data­Card from the new model CP44/54 to the older model CP42, etc., as
this would require an update of the CP42.

- For more information, please contact an authorized Simrad dealer.
