CLEANING PROCEDURE FOR THE GPS CHART PLOTTER SCREEN

Cleaning of the chart plotter 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 (Windex) 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.

2. GETTING STARTED

2.0MOUNTING THE GPS CHART PLOTTER

The CP180 is supplied with hardware for bracket or flush mounting, the CP180i is supplied with only with hardware for bracket mounting due to the internal design of the GPS antenna. Below are pictures showing actual examples of the two types of installation.

NOTE

The CP180i with internal GPS antenna is designed to be bracket mounted only. Do not flush mount or GPS performance possibly will not operate.

2.1BRACKET MOUNTING

The CP180 and CP180i can be mounted using the supplied swivel mounting bracket. Before installing ensure the area the GPS chart plotter's bracket is mounted to is strong enough to support the weight of the GPS chart plotter especially while under way.

After the location is found, attach the mounting base to the area using the supplied hardware.

Figure 2.1 - Example of GPS chart plotter Bracket installation

2.2FLUSH MOUNTING ONLY FOR CP 180

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

NOTE

Before drilling holes make sure there is enough room to mount the GPS Chart Plotter and no obstructions.

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

CP180 / CP180i		Page 13

2.Drill a hole in one area of the cutout 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 GPS chart plotter with the mounting studs.

4.Install the mounting studs on the GPS chart plotter and insert into the mounting hole.

5.Attach the GPS chart plotter to the mounting location by attaching the supplied hardware to the mounting studs.

Figure 2.2 - Example of GPS chart plotter Flush installation

2.3MOUNTING THE CP 180 GPS ANTENNA

The CP180 is supplied with a external GPS WAAS antenna with 30 feet of routing cable. 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, after the GPS chart plotter has a fix, turn on the Radar to ensure the GPS chart plotter 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.

2.3.0Flush mounting the CP180 antenna

NOTE

Before drilling holes, it is recommended the antenna be positioned where the location is planned, cable connected to the CP180 and power turned on to ensure a GPS Fix is received.

Page 14		CP180 / CP180i

1.Remove the threaded base from the 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 chart plotter.

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.

2.7GPS 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 CP180 or CP180i chart plotters are connected to 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 chart plotter, 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.

Other DSC VHF Manufactures
