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

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
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.
