CAUTION
- The GPS Chart Plotter is designed for maritime use. To avoid water intrusion
ensure the C-MAP B
Y JEPPESEN C-CARD door is completely closed.
- Extensive exposure to heat may result in damage to the GPS Chart Plotter.
- The GPS Chart Plotter 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.
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.

2.3 MOUNTING THE OPTIONAL EXTERNAL GPS ANTENNA
An external WAAS GPS antenna is available when the CPF180i or CPF300i is flush
mounted or mounted in an area where satellite reception is not possible with the internal
antenna.This antenna is designed to be mounted on a base, installed on an extension or
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 antennas. 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).
CPF180i and CPF300i Page 19
Page 18
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, the
antenna may not tighten all the way down onto all the threads. 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.
2.3.0 Flush mounting the antenna
NOTE
Before drilling holes, it is recommended the antenna be positioned where the location is planned,
cable connected to the GPS Chart Plotter and power turned on to ensure a GPS Fix is received.
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 0.31” (8mm) and 0.13” (3.2mm) holes, and remove the template.
5. Insert the cable into the 0.31” (8mm) 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.
NOTE
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.

2.7 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 GPS 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.

3.2 AUTOMATIC TIME
The time information supplied by the GPS satellites is in Universal Time Coordinates (UTC or
Greenwich England Mean Time). To change the GPS Chart Plotter to read the correct time, first
you must figure out the offset and if it is daylight savings time. For example on the West coast of
the United States or Pacific Standard Time the offset needed would be –08:00 or –07:00 for daylight
savings time, Eastern Standard Time –05:00 or –04:00 for daylight savings time.

10. TRACKS
The CPF180i and the CPF300i have the capability to store 20 individual tracks and record
up to 10000 Track Points.
Before using the Track function you will need to setup the Track function that suits your boat.
The Track function tracks your vessels location as it moves through the water. The Track
function can be setup to lay down a Track for a predetermined time or distance interval. If
you have a fast moving boat you may want to setup the CPF180i or CPF300i to record a
Track point every 0.5NM or if you have a sail boat you may want to setup to lay down a Track
point once every 1 minute.
NOTE
Please note the Track point memory capacity is 10,000 points. This means for a long journey you
may have to adjust the time or distance to be able to track your journey. It should be noted when the
10,000 Track points are used up, the first Track point layed down will be deleted when a new point
is placed on the chart.

You may have to take a few trips to see how you like the Distance or Time Interval setup
on the previous step. However when using the tracking feature you will notice every time
a Track Point is layed down on the Chart page a small filled in circle is shown on the Track
line. If you move the cursor over the top of the circle a popup window will be shown with the
Time, Water Temperature, Speed and Course Over Ground (COG). This is very useful if
you are fishing and want to review the conditions where the fish were being caught.

Refer to the image above. The time (1) displayed corresponds to the location of the crosshair cursor (3) in the Tide Graph (2). Moving the ShuttlePoint knob to the left or right changes
the time, moving the ShuttlePoint knob up or down selects the Tide height and draught
(draft) on the Tide Graph.
NOTE
The draught window shows the height of the tide water during a 24hr period of time. For example
if the ShuttlePoint knob is pressed up to move the cursor to the top of the Tide Graph this is the High
Water Level and if the cursor is moved to the bottom of the Tide Graph the draught will show the
Low Water Level.
Example 1
You anchor in 15 feet of water (under your keel) at a time of day where the water is the
highest (High Water). Let’s say the High Water window shows 5ft and the Low Water
window shows 1 foot this means the water under your vessel over a 24 hour period of time
could fall 4 feet (High Water - Low Water). With your vessel in 15 feet of water and with a
maximum water change of 4 feet during the day, the worst case situation there will be 11
feet of water under your vessel.

12.9 VHF DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING
Digital Selective Calling is a semi-automated method of establishing a VHF radio call. DSC
had also been designated as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System.
CPF180i and CPF300i Page 89
Page 88
This new system allow mariners to instantly send a distress call with GPS position (when
connected to the transceiver) to the US Coast Guard and other vessels within range of the
transmission. DSC will also allow mariners to initiate POSITION Request, POSITION Send
calls to or from another vessel equipped with a DSC transceiver.
STANDARD HORIZON VHF Marine Radios with Digital Selective Calling are able to be
interfaced with the GPS Chart Plotter which feeds GPS data to the VHF and listens for DSC
calls from the VHF. By connecting a few wires between the STANDARD HORIZON VHF and
the GPS Chart Plotter it will receive:
1. a vessel that has transmitted a DSC Distress call
2. a vessel that has transmitted a DSC Position Send Call
3. The position of a vessel that transmitted a DSC Position Request Call
12.9.0 Interfacing
To take advantage of these functions the GPS Chart Plotter must be interfaced (wired) to
a STANDARD HORIZON or compatible DSC VHF.
Figure13.9.0 - Interfacing to VHF Radio
For additional information refer to Par. 2.4 Connections.
12.9.1 DSC Distress Call
During a Distress situation, a vessel that is equipped with a DSC VHF and connected to a
GPS, has the capability to transmit a DSC Distress Call with GPS Position.
When the STANDARD HORIZON VHF receives a DSC Distress Call, DSC/Position
information of the vessel in Distress is transferred to the GPS Chart Plotter. The GPS Chart
Plotter Logs the Distress call into the

12.9.2 Position Request
STANDARD HORIZON VHF radios can transmit a DSC call to other equipped Vessels with
a DSC VHF or request this radio transmit the GPS position. When this position is received
the STANDARD HORIZON VHF radio sends the information to the GPS Chart Plotter which
displays the GPS position of the vessel on the Chart page. This is a great feature for anyone
wanting to know the position of another vessel for example you buddy that is catching fish,
or finding the location of a person you are cruising with.

14. AIS
AIS is an Automatic Identification System. It has been introduced to improve the safety of
navigation by assisting in the efficient operation of ship-to-ship location reporting and VTS
applications. The system should enable operators to obtain information from the ship
automatically, requiring a minimum of involvement of ship’s personnel, and should have a high
level of availability. AIS transponders installed on IMO vessels use VHF frequencies to:
· Transmit details of their own vessel
· Receive details from other vessels or navigation aids within VHF range.
Information being transmitted from vessels over 300 tons that, due to recent worldwide
legislation, are required to fit Class “A” AIS transponders.
Connecting to the GPS Chart Plotter an AIS receiver (please contact your local dealer), will
display vessels with AIS transponder within VHF range on screen giving the skipper or
navigator a visual interpretation of the data of nearby vessels. This improves safety, and
specifically for collision avoidance reasons.
14.0 AIS SYSTEM DEFINITIONS
· Target: It is a vessel equipped with AIS. Information about the targets is being received
by AIS Receiver and displayed on the screen.
· CPA : Closest Point of Approach is the closest distance that will be achieved between
your vessel and the tracked target, based on your vessel’s speed and direction and the
target’s speed and direction.
· CPA Limit: This is the distance from your vessel that a target may reach before a target
is deemed a threat.
· CPA Alarm: Occurs if CPA is less or equal to CPA Limit. This test is done for active
targets only.
· TCPA: Time to closest Point of Approach is the time remaining until the CPA will occur.
· TCPA Limit: This is the time remaining before the CPA is reached.
· TCPA Alarm: Occurs if TCPA is less or equal to TCPA Limit. This test is done for active
targets only and if CPA value is less or equal to CPA Limit.
· Radio Call Sign: International call sign assigned to vessel, often used on voice radio.
· Name: Name of ship, 20 characters.
· MMSI: Maritime Mobile Service Identity.
· MMSI number: A unique 9 digit number that is assigned to a DSC radio station. It
primarily registers the boat information in the U.S. Coast Guard’s national distress
database for use in emergency situations.
· Active Target: Target located within the Activation Range. Active target is represented
by oriented triangle with COG and Heading vectors. Rate of turn may also be displayed.
· Dangerous Target: Target detected by CPA or TCPA Alarm. Dangerous target is
Active Target by definition. For better visibility Dangerous Target symbol is flashing.
· Sleeping Target: Target located outside the Activation Range. Sleeping target is
represented by a small oriented triangle.
· Lost Target: When the AIS info is not received from that vessel for 3.5 minutes. The
presentation will be a flashing black triangle with a cross through.
CPF180i and CPF300i Page 95
Page 94
· Activation Range: Range around your boat where targets become active. AIS target
become active within this range. Activation Range should be greater than CPA Limit
by definition.
NOTE
A target is removed from the screen if data is not received for 10 minutes.
The maximum number of tracked targets is 100.
Depending on the scale the presentation of the targets change to remove clutter on the screen. This
information is updated every 3 seconds to 6 minutes depending on speed and rate of turn, enabling
the track of the vessels in range to be plotted.
