CLEANING PROCEDURE FOR THE CHART PLOTTER SCREEN

Cleaning of the chartplotter screen is a very important operation and must be done
carefully. Since the surface is covered by a antireflective coating, the procedure for
cleaning all the surfaces can be performed using the following procedure: You need
a tissue or lens tissue and a cleaning spray containing Isopropanol (a normal spray
cleaner sold for the PC screen, for example PolaClear by Polaroid). Fold the tissue
or lens tissue into a triangular shape, moisten the tip and use the index finger behind
a corner to move the tissue across the surface, in overlapping side to side strokes.
If the tissue is too wet, a noticeable wet film will be left in its path and you will need
to repeat the process. If too dry, the tissue won’t glide easily, and may damage the
surface.

CAUTION

- The chartplotter is designed for maritime use. Please give attention to avoid water
intrusion into the C-MAP NT

+

C-CARD cartridge holder.

- Extensive exposure to heat may result in damage to the chartplotter.

- The chartplotter contains dangerous high voltage circuits which only experienced
technicians can handle.

- STANDARD HORIZON will not be liable for errors contained herein, or for
incidental or consequential damages in connection with the performance or use
of this material.

2. GETTING STARTED

2.0 MOUNTING THE GPS CHARTPLOTTER

The GPS chartplotter is supplied with hardware for bracket or flush mounting. Below are
pictures showing actual examples of the two types of installation.

2.1 BRACKET MOUNTING

The GPS chartplotter can be mounted using the supplied bracket. Before installing ensure
the area the plotters bracket is mounted to is strong enough to support the weight of the
chartplotter especially while under way.
After the location is found, attach the mounting base to the area using the supplied hardware.

Figure 2.1 - Installing/removing chartplotter (Bracket)

2.2 FLUSH MOUNTING

The GPS chartplotter is supplied with a flush mount template for the cutout hole and screw
holes required to install the chartplotter.

NOTE

Before drilling holes ensure there are no obstructions behind the location that could interfere with
the mounting and there is physically enough room to mount the chartplotter.

1. After a location is found, peal the template label from the backing and apply the label
to the mounting area.

GPS chartplotters Page 15

2. Drill a hole in one area of the cut area that will allow the blade of a jig saw to be inserted.
Insert and cut out the area on the panel using the jig saw.

3. Next drill the four holes required to insert the chartplotter with the mounting studs.

4. Install the mounting studs on the chartplotter and insert into the mounting hole.

5. Attach the chartplotter to the mounting location by attaching the supplied hardware to
the mounting studs.

Figure 2.2 - Installing/removing chartplotter (Flush)

2.3 MOUNTING THE GPS SMART ANTENNA

The GPS chartplotter is supplied with a 12 Channel WAAS GPS Smart antenna. This
antenna is designed to be mounted on a base, installed on an extension or even flush
mounted.
Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky and is not located within
3 FT of RADAR or other transmitting antenna. Ensure there are no major obstructions or
fixtures in the immediate proximity to the antenna. The antenna relies on direct “line of sight”
satellite reception. If you are unsure of the chosen location, temporarily mount the antenna
in the desired location to verify correct operation. If mounted close to RADAR, and after the
GPS chartplotter has a fix, turn on the RADAR to ensure the GPS chartplotter holds the fix
(use the GPS Status Page).
The thread used on the antenna is an industry standard (1inch 14TPI) used on a wide range
of mounting brackets. Due to the manufacturing process of these mounting brackets you
may see some slop when tightening down the antenna to the bracket. This is no concern
however as the antenna must be tightened until the antenna stops rotating.

NOTE

The antenna cable can be cut and spliced to ease installation. Care must be taken when
reconnecting the antenna cable to protect from water and corrosion.

Page 16 GPS chartplotters

2.3.0 Flush Mounting

NOTE

Before drilling holes, it is recommended the GPS antenna be positioned where the location is
planned to be drilled, cable connected to the Plotter and the GPS chartplotter turned on to ensure
a GPS FIX is received.

1. Remove the threaded base from the GPS antenna dome.

2. To ease installation a flush mounting template for the antenna has been included.

3. Apply the mounting template sticker to the area that was verified for GPS reception.

4. Then, drill out the 0.63” (16mm) and 0.16” (4mm) holes, and remove the template.

5. Insert the cable into the 0.63” (16mm) hole and route to the GPS chartplotter.

6. Apply a small amount or RTV to the under side of the antenna.

7. Place the antenna and then screw it into place using the screws. In some cases the
screw may not be long enough, if this happens simply apply more RTV to the underside
of the antenna to glue it into place.

Figure 2.3.0 - Installing the GPS Smart antenna

Figure 2.3.0 - Installing the GPS Smart antenna (Flush)

2.4 CONNECTIONS

The GPS chartplotter has a cable or connectors that are used to connect the chartplotter
to Power Supply, to the GPS smart antenna, optional FF520 Black Box Fish Finder and to
NMEA devices such as VHF’s, digital instruments and autopilots.

NOTE

The GPS chartplotter can send many sentences to external NMEA devices. The NMEA output

2.7 GPS POSITION ON A VHF RADIO

STANDARD HORIZON has pioneered Digital Selective Calling (DSC) on VHF radios.
Advancements in DSC have made it possible to show the coordinates of a vessel that has
transmitted a DSC Distress Call or even Poll the location of another vessel and show the
position of that vessel on the display of STANDARD HORIZON VHFs.
STANDARD HORIZON has taken this feature one step further, if the Standard Horizon GPS
chartplotter is connected a STANDARD HORIZON DSC capable VHF, the vessel in
Distress or the polled position of the vessel is shown on the display of the GPS chartplotter,
making it easy to navigate to the location of the vessel. This is a great feature that could save
someone’s life or for anyone wanting to know the position of another vessel.
