2.3 Selecting the Equipment Location
Display Unit Mounting Location
Selecting the Equipment Location The display unit can be mounted using the mounting bracket supplied, or console mounted using the optional flush-mounting kit. The dimensions of the display units, including the bracket, are shown below in Figure 2-4, Figure 2-6, and Figure 2-5. When planning the display installation, the following should be considered to ensure reliable and trouble free operation: Convenience: The contrast and colors seen on all LCD displays vary slightly with viewing angle; this is more noticeable on the left hand side. Power the unit and select a suitable mounting location prior to installing the display. The mounting location should be easily accessible to allow operation of the front panel controls. Access: There must be sufficient space behind the display to allow cable connections to the rear panel connectors, avoiding tight bends in the cable. Interference: The selected location should be far enough away from devices that may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio transmitter/receivers (see the EMC guidelines earlier in this section). Magnetic compass: Mount the display unit at least 3 ft (1m) away from a magnetic compass. Cable runs: The display unit must be located near a DC power source. The power cable supplied is 4.9 ft (1.5m), but a longer cable can be used if required: refer to Section 2.4. The maximum length of cable between a master display and the transducer unit should not normally exceed 30 ft (10 m). If you need to use a longer cable, refer Section 2.4 Environment: Do not restrict airflow at the rear of the display unit; the display incorporates Cold Cathode Florescent Lamps (CCFL), which have a reduced light output when the unit is very hot. Ventilation is required to prevent the unit from overheating. The display should be protected from physical damage and excessive vibration. Mount the display in a protected area away from prolonged and direct exposure to rain and salt spray.

2.7 Integrated Systems

The hsb2 Series displays can be linked to other equipment to transfer data as follows: A second display, either CRT or LCD, can be connected via hsb2 (and SeaTalk) to repeat fishfinder, chart and/or radar information at a remote location. Note: If you have an integrated system with a Pathfinder Plus radar master display that includes MARPA as a primary function, MARPA functionality is available on the LCD repeater display. Data can be received via SeaTalk or NMEA, some of which will increase the functionality of the display. Other data can be viewed on the display. Data can be transmitted via SeaTalk and NMEA to enhance other equipment. Some incoming data can be converted across the communication link and re-transmitted.
External equipment cannot be powered from the displays SeaTalk interface. It must be powered from the ships supply or via a SeaTalk bus. Ensure correct polarity of the SeaTalk connection. For systems where the ships power source is 24 V only, you may need to install a 24 V to 12 V DC converter. This is only necessary if the products being connected to the display are: SeaTalk compatible (for example, compass, GPS and instruments), and there is no existing SeaTalk bus NMEA compatible, but operate only from 12 V (for example, compass, GPS and some navigators) The DC-DC converter must conform to the following specification: Table 2-2:

Selecting the Frequency

The hsb2 Series Fishfinders use dual frequency sonar. The two frequencies used are 50 kHz and 200 kHz. The Fishfinder automatically selects the appropriate frequency. Alternatively, you can manually select either frequency, or both frequencies simultaneously. Each is suitable for a particular purpose: Selecting the Frequency
50 kHz Frequency When using this frequency, the transducer scans a wide area. The 50 kHz signal penetrates water well, so is good for use in deep water. 200 kHz Frequency When using this frequency, the transducer scans a narrower area, but produces a more detailed view. The 200 kHz signal is good for finding fish near the bottom or close together. It is better for use in shallow water. Split Frequency The transducer can operate in both 50 kHz and 200 kHz frequencies at the same time. If you choose split frequency operation, the scrolling bottom display is split horizontally; the upper half shows the 200 kHz detailed view and the lower half shows the 50 kHz image. To change the frequency: 1. Press the FREQUENCY soft key. The frequency selection soft keys are displayed. 2. Press the appropriate soft key 50 KHZ, 200 KHZ or SPLIT. The scrolling bottom is displayed in the selected frequency. If you choose split, the scrolling bottom is displayed in both frequencies with 200 kHz in the upper window and 50 kHz in the lower window. 3. If necessary, press the AUTO FREQ OFF ON soft key to select AUTO frequency. AUTO frequency is indicated by the letter F in the status bar. 4. Press ENTER or CLEAR to return to the default display. You can choose the split frequency display with the fishfinder display options, Bottom Lock, A-Scope, or Zoom.

Using Bottom Lock

The scrolling bottom display provides a top-down view, referenced from the surface of the water. Bottom Lock shows a water column of fixed height, referenced from the bottom, that appears flat. It removes bottom detail to provide an image of objects directly above the bottom, and is useful when you are looking for fish that feed close to the bottom. You can select the Bottom Lock image to be vertically split with the scrolling bottom display, or it can replace the scrolling bottom display. As illustrated in Figure 3-8, the bottom is shown as a straight line. Notice that some bottom features may extend above this line. The actual depth reading is given in the bottom left hand corner of the Bottom Lock display. Range intervals on Bottom Lock are measured up from the bottom (rather than down from the surface). Thus, the bottom is shown as zero and the top number indicates the maximum distance above the bottom being displayed. You can adjust the Bottom Lock range. If the A-Scope or Zoom image was displayed, selecting Bottom Lock automatically switches OFF A-Scope or Zoom. If you have split frequency selected, the Bottom Lock image is displayed in both frequency windows. If Target Depth ID is ON (see Target Depth ID on page 7-12), the target depth is displayed as distance from the bottom.

CHRT GRID CRSR BOX DATABOXES OFF ON
To move any data box: 1. Use the trackpad to position the cursor over the box until the letters BOX are displayed. 2. Press ENTER to take control of the box, use the trackpad to move it to the required position, and press ENTER again.
Custom Options - Chart mode
When chart details have been customized in the Chart Set Up menu (as described in Section 7.5) the SCREEN soft key can be used to switch the custom chart options off or on: When set to ON, all chart options set to CUSTOM in the Customize Chart menu are displayed; when set to OFF, options set to CUSTOM are not shown. The factory default for custom chart options is ON.
To switch the customized options on or off: 1. Press the SCREEN default soft key. 2. Press the CUSTOM soft key to toggle the setting from OFF to ON or from ON to OFF. To return to the default soft key display, press ENTER.

Moving Around the Chart

You will normally operate the chartplotter with the chart showing your vessels current location. The default orientation is North-Up, and the vessel moves across the screen. You will need to move the chart if your vessel moves out of the area currently displayed, or if you wish to examine or place waypoints in another area. Alternatively, you can home the cursor onto the vessel using FIND SHIP. There are four ways in which you can move the chart: Use the trackpad to move the cursor to the edge of the chart. The chart will pan across. This method is useful if the area you wish to see is only just off the screen. Use the context-sensitive cursor to change the chart center. Automatically re-center the vessel using the FIND SHIP soft key. Change the chart scale to zoom out and in to a new area centered on the cursor position. This method is useful if the area you wish to see is a long distance away.

Moving Around the Chart

Changing the Chart Center
You can move the area of the chart displayed on the screen using the contextsensitive cursor. This allows you to center your vessel in the middle of the screen, or to move the chart so that your vessel is displayed off-center anywhere on the screen. To center the chart: 1. Use the trackpad to move the cursor to the vessels position. The cursor text POS is displayed. 2. Press CLEAR. The chart is moved so that your vessels position is in the center of the screen. 3. Use FIND SHIP, as described in the following section.
To move your vessels position off-center: 1. Move the cursor over your vessels position until the letters POS are displayed. 2. Press ENTER to take control of the chart position. The letters POS are now in inverse video, and the cursor symbol has changed to a four-way arrow. This indicates that the cursor can be used to move the chart in any direction.

D4278-1

Figure 3-10: Changing the Chart Center 3. Use the trackpad to move the cursor to the required position. 4. Press ENTER to select the position and return to normal cursor control. The chart is redrawn with the vessel position at the cursor. Alternatively, you can press CLEAR to abandon the move and leave the chart (and vessel) in its former position.

MOVE WAYPOINT

To move a waypoint using the Waypoint Edit functions: 1. Select the waypoint using either the cursor or the waypoint list as described above. The waypoint soft keys are displayed. 2. To edit the waypoint position proceed as previously described in Editing the Waypoint Details on page 5-13.
Using the ST80 Navigator Keypad
If connected, you can use an ST80 Navigator Keypad to name or edit your waypoints, tracks, or routes. The keypad can also be used to select entries in the Waypoint List. The Navigator, connected via SeaTalk, provides 10 dedicated alphanumeric keys, a multidirectional cursor control pad, plus Insert and Delete keys. Note: When used with the fishfinder, the ST80 Navigator Keypad operates in Unlinked mode.
Using the ST80 Navigator Keypad Figure 5-5: or

NAVIGATOR

D1934-2

ST80 Navigator Keypad

Most of the alphanumeric keys are used to input multiple characters. Each time you press one of these keys in succession, the next character on that key is input. For example, each press of the 1 key alternately inputs A, B, C, then 1. The Navigators arrow keys function much like the fishfinders trackpad, enabling you to move the cursor position or input alpha, numeric, or special characters (. , - / & ). The ins key functions the same as the ENTER key on fishfinder and del inserts a space during edit mode.
Selecting an Entry in the Waypoint List
The Navigator can be used to select an existing item in the Waypoint List. This can be accomplished using the arrow or alphanumeric keys. To select an existing item in the Waypoint List: 1. Use the up and down arrow keys to move the selection bar up and down the list to highlight the desired entry, just as you would with the fishfinders trackpad.
Press the alphanumeric key that contains the first letter or number of the desired waypoint name. The selection bar moves to the entry starting with that letter or number. If more than one entry begins with that character, the selection bar moves to the first one in the list. Each time the same key is pressed, the selection bar moves to the entry starting with the next character on the key. If no entry exists for that character, the entry starting with the nearest previous character is selected. If the numeric value of the key is input when no numeric entry exists, the selection bar moves to the first alpha entry. For example, lets say we have four waypoints named ORION, POLARIS, QUANTUM, and 6-GUN. Pressing the opq/6 key four successive times would select the waypoints ORION (O), POLARIS (P), QUANTUM (Q), then 6-GUN (6). However, pressing the rst/7 key four successive times would select QUANTUM for the first three key presses because entries beginning with the associated letters do not exist and Q is the next previous beginning letter. The fourth press of the rst/7 key would select 6-GUN because no entries begin with a 7 and 6 is the next previous beginning number. 2. Use the ins key like the fishfinders ENTER key, to close the Waypoint List. The del key and left and right arrow keys do not function in select mode.

Note: If you Clear the route before it is Saved, the new waypoint is removed.
Adding Waypoints at the End of the Route
To add waypoints at the end of the route: 1. Press the ROUTE soft key, followed by the EDIT ROUTE soft key. The Make Route soft keys are displayed and the cursor is connected to the last-placed waypoint with a dotted line. You can add further waypoints to the route in the same way as for a new route. 2. Move the cursor to the required location, and press PLACE WAYPOINT soft key. If you place the waypoint in the wrong position, press the UNDO WAYPOINT soft key. Note: You can UNDO waypoints in the original route, not just the new ones. 3. Place as many waypoints as required, and press the ACCEPT ROUTE soft key, the default soft keys are displayed.

EDIT ROUTE

Removing a Waypoint from the Route
To remove a waypoint from the current route: 1. Move the cursor over the required waypoint until the letters WPT are displayed. The waypoint soft keys are displayed. 2. Press the REMOVE WAYPOINT soft key. The waypoint is removed from the route and the route is re-numbered. Alternatively, you can remove the last waypoint from a route by pressing the UNDO WAYPOINT soft key, as described above in Adding Waypoints at the End of the Route on page 5-27. If the route has not been saved, the waypoint is erased. If the route has been saved, the waypoint remains on the screen.

REMOVE WAYPOINT

Reversing the Route
To reverse the route, so you can Follow the route back: 1. Either press the ROUTE soft key followed by MORE, or move the cursor over the required waypoint until the letters RTE are displayed. The route soft keys are displayed. 2. Press the REVERSE ROUTE soft key. The current route is reversed on the screen.

REVERSE ROUTE

5.5 Following Routes and Going to Points
The default soft key GOTO accesses the functions to FOLLOW a route and GOTO a waypoint or cursor. When you select the target destination, the chartplotter calculates bearing, distance and cross track error; this information is passed to a helmsman or autopilot. You can also restart the cross track error (XTE) from the actual vessel position to set XTE to zero at that point.

5.6 Transferring Waypoints and Routes
Displayed SeaTalk Waypoints
In an integrated system, when a route is made current on any SeaTalk equipment it is sent to all SeaTalk instruments, including this chartplotter; this route will override any other current route. When GOTO waypoint or GOTO cursor is in operation it is considered a route. The current route can be edited on any instrument with route edit capability. Note: Transferred waypoints that are part of a route are not automatically saved by the chartplotter, however you can save the route locally, thus adding the waypoints to the local waypoint list.

Managing Database Lists

Transferring Waypoints and Routes There are several methods of maintaining database lists. The method you choose will depend on the links available (SeaTalk, NMEA or hsb2), and whether you want to transfer individual waypoints or the complete waypoint and route list: You can save the complete Waypoint and Route Lists to a user cartridge in the chart card slot. You can load new Waypoint and Route Lists from a user cartridge in the chart card slot. If waypoints are transmitted by other equipment on SeaTalk or NMEA, you can receive them on the chartplotter. When RECEIVE WPTS FROM ST/NMEA is selected, any waypoints sent on SeaTalk or NMEA are transferred and appended, one-by-one, to the waypoint list; routes sent on NMEA are appended to the route list. You can use this function to add waypoints from a PC connected via NMEA. You can send the waypoint and route lists from the chartplotter to other instruments via NMEA using the SEND WPT LIST function. Sending the waypoint list does not affect current routes. The NMEA link could be to a PC. You can transfer the waypoint and route lists from one chartplotter to another across an hsb2 link using SEND WPT LIST ON HSB and RECIEIVE WPTS FROM HSB. CAUTION: The functions LOAD USER CARD, SEND WPT LIST ON HSB and RECIEIVE WPTS FROM HSB replaces the existing waypoint and route lists with the transferred lists.
To save waypoints to, or load waypoints from a user cartridge: CAUTION: Loading waypoints from a user cartridge overwrites any existing waypoint and route lists. 1. Insert a C-MAP User Card into the lower of the two cartridge slots.
1. Press MARKS followed by the LOAD/SAVE USER CARD soft key. 2. The User Card Menu and associated soft keys are displayed. 3. Press the SAVE WPT/RTE DATA TO CARD or LOAD WPT/RTE DATA FROM CARD soft key; an appropriate warning and Yes/No soft keys are displayed.

Data Boxes Press the SELECT BOXES soft key to display the data box sub-menu. This allows you to select up to 6 data boxes that you can display on the fishfinder. Note: 1. A fixed set of sixteen (nine in the L755RC Plus) of these data items are available for display in the Nav Data half-screen window (see Chapter 3). 2. In addition to these grouped data boxes, boxes for the cursor readout, VRM/EBL data, waypoint data, MOB data and simulator status are displayed when selected or when the appropriate function is active. 3. Radar data is only repeated if the display is connected to an hsb2 Series radar master display. Data boxes provide regularly used data in a compact form so that most of the picture can still be seen. The ones you select here can be turned on and off as a group during normal operation, and you can also move them around the screen individually using the context-sensitive cursor (see Context-Sensitive Cursor Control on page 1-17).

Menu Timeout Period

With no timeout set, menus and soft key labels remain displayed until you clear them by pressing ENTER, CLEAR or the appropriate dedicated key. If you set a value here, the menus and soft key labels will be cleared if a key has not been pressed for the specified number of seconds.
You can also turn the cursor readout box(es) on and off during normal operation, via the SCREEN default soft key (see Switching the Cursor Data Box On and Off on page 3-24).
This setting does not affect the default soft key labels, which are controlled by the Soft Keys option (see above). Units
You can set the units for speed, depth and temperature. The units you set will be used to display all data, including information received from other instruments on the system. However, the distance units do not affect the instrumented range of the radar, which is always in nautical miles.

Variation Source

The variation value is the difference between True and Magnetic direction data for heading or bearing values. The Variation Source option provides soft keys for selecting Auto or Manual variation mode, displays the current variation value for each and highlights the currently selected mode.
Auto Mode (available in systems with hsb2 Radar)
If you select Auto mode, the radar obtains the value of variation automatically, normally from received data. The variation value that is used depends on the data available, and is selected in the following order of priority: 1. Variation value from the same source as the heading data: If heading data is being taken from NMEA, then variation is also taken from NMEA If heading is taken from SeaTalk, then SeaTalk variation is used 2. Variation value from a different source: If heading data is being taken from NMEA, but no NMEA variation is available, then variation is taken from SeaTalk If heading is taken from SeaTalk, but no SeaTalk variation is available, then variation is taken from NMEA 3. A calculated variation value, using position data, if no SeaTalk or NMEA value is available 4. The current manual variation value, if no SeaTalk or NMEA value and no position data is available

Routine Checks

The LCD display is a sealed unit. Maintenance procedures are therefore limited to the following periodic checks: Examine the cables for signs of damage, such as chafing, cuts or nicks. Maintenance Check that the cable connectors are firmly attached.

Cleaning Instructions

Cleaning the Display
CAUTION: Take care when cleaning the display. Use the display cleaning cloth provided. Avoid wiping the display screen with other types of dry cloth this could scratch the screen coating. Do not use acid, ammonia based or abrasive products. Ensure power is off, wipe the display clean with a damp cloth. If necessary, use IPA (isopropyl alcohol) or a mild detergent solution to remove grease marks.

Cleaning the Transducer

Sea growth can collect quickly on the bottom of the transducer, this can reduce the performance in just a few weeks. To prevent the build-up of sea growth, coat the transducer with a thin layer of paint.
Use only a water-based antifouling paint, or a water-based paint specifically designed for transducers. Apply the paint with a brush. If your transducer becomes fouled or stops working because of sand or sea growth, use a stiff brush to clean it. You may sand the surface with a fine-grit wet or dry sandpaper (#320 grade or finer), but this will affect the performance of the unit when the boat is moving at higher speeds. The paddle wheel mechanism may become jammed by dirt, grit or barnacles. Work this out of the mechanism, then clean the unit with soap and water or alcohol.

Cleaning the Hull

Use caution when sanding or cleaning the outside of the hull near the transducer. CAUTION: Harsh cleaning solvents such as acetone may damage the transducer.
EMC Servicing and Safety Guidelines
Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorized Raymarine service technicians. They will ensure that service procedures and replacement parts used will not affect performance. There are no user serviceable parts in any Raymarine product. Some products generate high voltages, so never handle the cables/connectors when power is being supplied to the equipment. When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one another, with a consequent adverse effect on operation. In order to minimise these effects and enable you to get the best possible performance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the installation instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum interaction between different items of equipment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. We use such information to improve our quality standards. In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the equipment but it can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.

When available, NMEA OUT data is transmitted from RL70 Plus and RL70RC Plus, or from a RC520 Plus if connected to a Radar display via hsb2.
