About this handbook

Introduction
This handbook describes the Raychart 435 Chartplotter and its GPS antenna. The RC435 utilizes Satellite Differential (SD) signals for enhanced navigational accuracy. The Raychart 435 Chartplotter is waterproof and can be installed either above or below deck. The equipment comprises: 6 in Color LCD display with Chart holder compartment for a Navionics Gold Chart electronic chart card Low profile GPS antenna.
The Raychart 435 Chartplotter can output GPS and Waypoint data to operate with other equipment, e.g. an autopilot or repeater instrument connected via the NMEA 0183 interface1. It is also possible to download waypoints and routes to the Raychart 435 from an external source. Note: This handbook contains important information about installing, using and maintaining your new Raymarine product. To get the best from the product, please read this handbook thoroughly.

Conventions Used

Throughout this handbook, dedicated buttons are referred to in bold capitals; for example, ENTER. Functions, modes of operation and options are shown in normal capitals, e.g. LIGHT. Operating procedures, which may consist of a single key-press, or a sequence of numbered steps, are indicated by a symbol in the margin. When textual data is displayed on screen, any unavailable data is shown as dashes, one per character. Where procedures refer to Select, this implies using the trackpad to highlight a function and then pressing the ENTER key.

Function Bar

The Function Bar at the bottom of the screen contains a number of functions which change according to the current operation. The functions are grouped into related sets and subsets providing access to the various functions. The primary function bar is displayed when the ENTER key is pressed. The currently selected function is highlighted by means of a green background.
Note: During many operations the cursor cannot be moved around the screen, e.g. whilst a function bar is displayed, the cursor is used exclusively for selection. In such cases, three rapid beeps indicate invalid action.
Raychart 435 Chartplotter - Owners Handbook When a function is invoked, one of the following occurs: 1. 2. 3. 4. The associated operation is actioned, e.g. GOTO WAYPOINT. A sub-set of functions is displayed. A pop-up menu is displayed, providing further options. The appropriate database list (e.g. Route or Waypoint) is displayed.
As with dedicated keys, when the action is invoked, a single audio beep confirms the action. If the selection is not valid, three rapid beeps indicate invalid action. Key beeps can be deactivated as part of the set up parameters (see Chapter 4).

Pop-Up Menus

Pop-up menus usually provide various options. When a pop-up menu is on-screen, a set of associated functions is also displayed. Use the trackpad to select an option from the menu, then use the appropriate function to set the option, e.g. the radius of the waypoint arrival alarm can be specified or the selected navigation data can be set on/off.

Database Lists

Waypoints and routes created on the chartplotter are stored in database lists. These lists can be viewed and items selected for editing. As with pop-up menus, when a database list is on-screen, a set of associated soft keys is also displayed; use the trackpad to select an item from the list, then use the appropriate function to edit the item, e.g. a Waypoint or a Route can be erased.
1.2 Satellite Differential System
The RC435 GPS Antenna utilizes a satellite differential correction system to improve the accuracy and integrity of the basic GPS signals. Three separate compatible systems currently exist or are in development: 1. Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). Developed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the USA. 2. European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS). This system is being developed by a European consortium.

3. The MTSAT Satellite-Based Augmentation System (MSAS). Being developed by the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) for civil aviation use. 1 Overview The area covered by the WAAS system includes the entire United States of America but also extends to a much wider area as detailed below.

D4910-1

Figure 1-2: WAAS Coverage Map The combination of the WAAS, EGNOS and MSAS systems will provide global satellite based differential GPS augmentation into the future.

How it Works

The following description is based on WAAS, but the principles apply equally to the EGNOS and MSAS systems. WAAS comprises the following components: Ground Reference Stations across the USA. Master Stations located at East Coast and West Coast. Geostationary Satellites located above the equator.
The Ground Reference Stations are located at known positions and receive data continuously from GPS. The Ground Reference Stations send their data to the Master Stations which calculate the error of the GPS-received positions and generate correctional data.
Raychart 435 Chartplotter - Owners Handbook The corrected differential signals are then sent to the two Geostationary Satellites which broadcast the corrected data on the standard GPS frequency, making it available to the GPS Antenna. The RC435 GPS uses the correctional data transmitted by the Geostationary Satellites to refine the basic GPS positional data for greater accuracy.

D4903-1

Figure 1-3: The WAAS System
Availability of WAAS and EGNOS signals
The WAAS system is presently broadcasting in North America. The Raychart 435 Chartplotter is EGNOS compatible. However, at the time of going to print the EGNOS was still under test. Further information on the WAAS and EGNOS systems can be found at: http://www.raymarine.com
Broadcast Continuation and Accuracy
The continuation of the broadcast SD signals is not the responsibility of Raymarine. The navigational accuracy of equipment using these satellite broadcast SD signals is not guaranteed.

2.1 Introduction

This chapter provides information and instructions to allow you to start using your Raychart 435 Chartplotter. It is intended to help you familiarize yourself with the controls before you start using the chartplotter for routine navigation. Note: There is often more than one method of performing a particular task. Normal operating procedures are detailed in Chapter 3. When you are familiar with the system you can adapt these procedures to suit your method of operation.

Simulator

The Chartplotter display unit includes a Simulator mode, which allows you to practice operating your chartplotter without live GPS data. Section 2.3, Simulator Mode describes how you can switch to this mode. Simulator mode can be used in the following situations: Before the chartplotter has been installed on your vessel. Connect the Chartplotter display unit to a 12V DC power supply, fused at 1A, connecting the red core from the power lead to positive (+) and the black core to negative (-); see Chapter 5 for full details. Once the chartplotter has been installed on your vessel and while in a marina or otherwise at anchor.

2 Getting Started

2.2 Switching On/Off
To turn the chartplotter display unit on, press the POWER key. The keys
illuminate, the display unit beeps and the Raychart logo is displayed, followed by this warning: WARNING THE ELECTRONIC CHART IS AN AID TO NAVIGATION DESIGNED TO FACILITATE THE USE OF AUTHORISED GOVERNMENT CHARTS, NOT TO REPLACE THEM. ONLY OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT CHARTS AND NOTICES TO MARINERS CONTAIN ALL INFORMATION NEEDED FOR THE SAFETY OF NAVIGATION AND, AS ALWAYS, THE CAPTAIN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR PROPER USE. When you have read and understood the warning, press the ENTER key. If this is the first time that the chartplotter has been switched on and no chart card is installed, the display shows the background world map at Lat. 0/Lon 0.
To turn the display unit off, press and hold the POWER key. A countdown
timer is displayed. Keep holding the key until this reaches zero when the unit will power off.
Changing the Lighting and Contrast
You can change the level of backlighting and contrast for the screen. The backlights for the keys are constantly lit for safety. To change the lighting and contrast: 1. Press the POWER key to display the lighting controls.
The last-used control is highlighted with a dark outline.
2. Press the trackpad left/right to select the LIGHTS function. 3. Press the trackpad top/bottom to increase or decrease the lighting to one of four levels. You can press and hold the trackpad to change the setting more rapidly. The lighting level is adjusted as you change the setting. 4. Press the trackpad right to select the CONTRAST control. There are 16 contrast levels. Adjust the setting as for lighting to select the best viewing level. 5. Press CLEAR to return to the chart screen, with the new lighting and contrast levels retained.

2.3 Simulator Mode

When simulator mode is started, your initial simulated position is wherever the cursor was last positioned. To practice using the chartplotter in a particular chart area, use the trackpad to pan to that area, then switch simulator ON. When in Simulator mode, a flashing SIM indication is displayed in the top left hand corner of the chart screen. Note: If real position data is available and the simulator is active, simulated data takes precedence. On power-up the simulator defaults to its previous setting on power-down. CAUTION: SIMULATOR MODE Care should be taken to determine desired mode on power-up. Simulated data should never be used for navigational purposes. 2 Getting Started

Using FIND SHIP

FIND SHIP is used to re-draw the chart with the vessel at its centre and the cursor homed on the vessel.

To centre the vessel:

1. From chart mode, press ENTER; the primary function bar is displayed:

2. Select FIND SHIP; the following actions are performed: The chart is re-drawn with the vessels position in the centre. The cursor is homed onto the vessel position and moves with it.
When the vessel moves near the edge of the chart window, the chart is redrawn with the vessel at the centre and the cursor homed on the vessel. Whilst homed, the status bar indicates position, SOG and COG. If SCREEN AMPLIFIER is enabled, the screen displays the vessel offset from center, to increase forward visibility, see Chapter 4:Setting Up. 3. To release the cursor from homed mode press the trackpad to move the cursor away from the vessels current position. The status bar shows the cursor position, range and bearing from the vessel.

Changing the Chart Scale

2 Getting Started The RANGE key changes the chart scale so that a smaller or larger area is shown on the available cartography. Plotter mode is available to allow you to zoom into a smaller area, even when no chart data is available for that scale. To enable plotter mode, see Chapter 4:Setting Up. You can change the chart scale for two purposes: To see either a smaller area (in more detail) or a larger area (in less detail). To move the display to another area of the chart, by zooming out to a small scale chart, then zooming in to another location.
Each time you press the RANGE key, the chart scale changes to the next available setting. The Status Bar at the top left-hand side of the screen indicates the distance, from top to bottom of the display, in nautical miles.

3.11 Man Overboard (MOB)

If a person or object is lost overboard, and you need to return to the location, use the Man Overboard (MOB) function. Note: To obtain MOB position, a valid GPS fix must be available.
To initiate the MOB procedure from the Chart display, press and hold the
GOTO key for two seconds. The system performs the following tasks automatically: Stops any GoTo or Follow operation. Selects a / nm scale (even if cartography is not available). Marks the current position as a temporary waypoint with an MOB symbol which replaces any current active waypoint and route.
Chapter 3: Operation Displays the MOB data box, showing the bearing and range to the MOB position, the elapsed time since the MOB was initiated and COG data.
Sends an MOB message, including bearing and range, to other units in the system, via NMEA.
Notes: (1) A suffix (c) to the POSition data indicates that the vessels position has been User Calibrated, see Chapter 4,Setting Up. Notes: (2) The RANGE key operates normally to change chart scale.

All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment. Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product. The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment. For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible: Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are: At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft (2 m). More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V, and starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equip-
Raychart 435 Chartplotter - Owners Handbook ment, but may cause the loss of some information and may change the operating mode. Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual. If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be reassembled in the same position.

5 Installation

Suppression Ferrites
The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine.

D3548-4

Figure 5-1: Typical Suppression Ferrites
Connections to Other Equipment
If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near to the Raymarine unit.
5.2 Unpacking and Inspecting the Components
Unpack your Raychart 435 Chartplotter carefully. Retain the carton and packing materials in the event that you need to return the unit for service. Check that you have all the correct system components.

5.5 Cable Running

The minimum requirements are a power cable and a connection from the GPS Antenna. Additional cables will be required if connecting to other equipment. Notes: (1) All cables should be adequately cleated and protected from physical damage and exposure to heat. Avoid running cables through bilges, doorways or close to moving objects or heat sources. (2) Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or

Longer power cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimize any voltage drop in the cable. In order to determine the correct supply cable size if the power cable must be extended, estimate the length of cable between the vessels main power source and the connector block, then select the wire size determined by the distance as indicated below.
Power Cable Core mm2: Equivalent AWG: Maximum Extension (feet): Maximum Extension (meters): 1.36 11.0 2.49 15.0 2.65 20.0 4.98 30.0 6.147 45.0 10.230 70.0

Connect to the power supply using the power cable supplied:
1. Connect the moulded connector to the POWER/NMEA connector on the rear of the chartplotter. Run the free end back to the vessels distribution panel or, if insufficient cable length, to a junction box. 2. Cut the cable to length and connect the red wire, via a 1A quick blow fuse or circuit breaker, to the +ve battery terminal and the black wire to 0V (-ve battery terminal). 3. Use a suitable junction box to connect to NMEA equipment if required. 4. Cut any unused cores short or insulate and tape back. Note: If the power connections are accidentally reversed, the system will not function. Use a voltmeter to check that the input power leads are connected with the correct polarity. 5 Installation
