Setup menu map, with factory default settings in brackets System Rotation (North up) Projected course (Off ) CDI scale (0.1 nm) Plotter mode (Off ) Map datum (WGS84) NMEA datum offset (Off ) Map shift (None) Waypoints (Selected) Anticlutter (Off ) Lat.
13-1 System setup Language Factory reset Select the language for the displays. The options are English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Portuguese Finnish and Greek. Backlight Resets all the TRACKER setup menu data back to the factory default settings as shown on the setup menu map. Any waypoints, routes or tracks are not deleted. Select the backlight intensity and the LCD contrast levels.
Map datum and map shift Satellite derived positions on the TRACKER are based on a worldwide reference (datum) known as WGS84. Most paper charts are based on WGS84. However, some paper charts are not based on WGS84, which results in an offset between a position on the TRACKER and the same position plotted on the paper chart. To match the TRACKER’s positions with a local chart that is not based on WGS84: Either select Map datum and select the datum for the local chart.
13-3 GPS setup GPS Source There are three options: • Internal: For the TRACKER 5430i, use the internal GPS antenna and receiver. For TRACKER 5430, use the internal GPS receiver and an external GPS antenna plugged into the gold connector on the TRACKER. • NMEA: Use an external GPS or DGPS source connected via NMEA (see section 14). • NavBus: Use an external GPS or DGPS source connected via NavBus (see section 14). DGPS Source Enables or disables the satellite based DGPS correction (see section 7).
Fuel Cal Without calibration the error in fuel measurements can be up to ± 10%. Calibration can reduce the error substantially. For twin engine installations calibration of each transducer is required. Calibrating the fuel transducer requires accurate measurement of the fuel used. This is easiest with a small portable tank. It should be noted that due to air pockets, it is very difficult to fill underfloor tanks to the same level twice.
13-6 Logs setup The values can be changed independently of each other. These log values are saved when the unit is turned off. The TRACKER has two distance logs. Trip distance: The distance travelled since log was reset. Total distance: The distance travelled since total log was reset. Reset trip dist This resets the trip distance to zero. Reset total dist This option resets the total distance to zero. 13-7 Alarms setup For alarm operation, see section 2-5.
13-8 Units setup Distance units Options are nm (nautical miles), mi (statute miles) or km (kilometres). Speed units Options are kn (knots), mph (miles per hour) or kph (kilometres per hour). Fuel units Options are litres, US gal (US gallons) or Imp gal (Imperial gallons). Compass The options are °T (True north) or °M (Magnetic north). Depth units Options are ft (feet), fm (fathoms) or m (metres). 13-9 Comms setup NMEA out Disable or enable the NMEA output to an autopilot or other instrument.
Demo Simulates the boat moving along a route at a given speed. When it reaches one end it retraces the route in the other direction. Before setting this mode enter at least one route (see section 10-2-1). The options are: 2 In the Simulate setup menu, select Simulate and turn it on. 3 Select Mode and set it to Normal or Demo. 4 Select and enter the other data required for simulate: Normal requires Speed and Heading. Speed: The simulated boat speed to use. Demo requires Speed and Route.
15 Installation Correct installation is critical to the performance of the unit. There are two components to install, the TRACKER and a GPS antenna. In addition, install the optional fuel kit to use the TRACKER as a fuel computer. The TRACKER can: Drive external beepers or lights for the alarm. Send and receive data from other NAVMAN instruments connected via NavBus. The backlight setting is shared (see section 14). Send NMEA data to an autopilot or other instrument.
15-3 Installation For bracket mounting: Warning: Ensure that any cut holes will not weaken the boat. If in doubt, consult a qualified boat builder or marine engineer. Display unit 1 i Hold the bracket in place and mark the screw holes. ii Drill the screw holes and screw the bracket in place with the screws provided. Do not overtighten the screws or the display unit might not rotate. Do not fit the display unit yet.
