Congratulations on you purchase of the CPV350C GPS Chart Plotter with VHF FM Marine Transceiver!

Whether this is your first GPS chartplotter, or if you have other STANDARD HORIZON equipment, the STANDARD HORIZON organization is committed to ensuring your enjoyment of this GPS chartplotter. STANDARD HORIZON technical support personnel stand behind every product we sell, and our Product Support team invites you to contact us should you require technical advice or assistance, at 800/767-2450.

CAUTION

The GPS chartplotter is designed for maritime use. Please give attention to avoid water intrusion into the C-MAP NT+/MAX C-CARD cartridge holder.

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

The GPS 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.

CLEANING PROCEDURE FOR THE CHARTPLOTTER SCREEN

Cleaning of the chartplotter screen is a very important 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 soft tissue or towel and a cleaning spray (Windex) containing Isopropanol (a normal spray cleaner sold for a 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.

2.3.1VHF Antenna

ABOUT VHF RADIO

The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with some shore stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially “line of sight” (VHF signals do not travel well through objects such as buildings, hills or trees). Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter. On a fixed mount 25W radio transmission expected distances could be greater than 15 miles.

2.3.2Selecting a Marine VHF Antenna

Marine antennas are made to radiate signals equally in all horizontal directions, but not straight up. The objective of a marine antenna is to enhance the signal toward the horizon. The degree to which this is accomplished is called the antenna’s gain. It is measured in decibels (dB) and is one of the major factors in choosing an antenna. In terms of effective radiated power (ERP), antennas are rated on the basis of how much gain they have over a theoretical antenna with zero gain. A 3-foot, 3dB gain antenna represents twice as much gain over the imaginary antenna. Typically a 3-foot 3dB gain stainless steel whip is used on a sailboat mast. The longer 8-foot 6dB fiberglass whip is primarily used on powerboats that require the additional gain.

CPV350

Page 15

2.3.3Coaxial Cable

VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable - a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by its diameter and construction. For runs less than 20 feet, RG-58/U, about 1/4 inch in diameter is a good choice. For runs over 20 feet but less than 50 feet, the larger RG-8X should be used for cable runs over 50 feet RG213 should be used. For installation of the connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figure below. Figure 2.4.0 Installing the VHF antenna To get your coax cable through a fitting and into your boat's interior, you may have to cut off the end plug and reattach it later. You can do this if you follow the directions that come with the connector. Be sure to make good soldered connections.

2.4 GPS ANTENNA

2.4.0Mounting the GPS WAAS Smart Antenna

The CPV350 is supplied with a 12 Channel GPS WAAS 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 Caps on RADAR to ensure the GPS chartplotter holds the fix (use the GPS Status Page).

2.4.1Mounting on a Pole

The thread used on the antenna is an industry standard (1 inch 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.

2.4.2Flush Mounting

NOTE

Before drilling holes, it is recommended the antenna be positioned where the location is planned to be drilled, cable connected to the CPV350 and the CPV350 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 0.63” (16 mm) and 0.16” (4 mm) holes, and remove the template.

5.Insert the cable into the 0.63” (16 mm) hole and route to the CPV350.

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.
