iii About this Handbook Introduction This handbook describes the RC435 Chartplotter with external GPS antenna and RC435i Chartplotter with internal GPS antenna. The RC435 and RC435i utilize Satellite Differential (SD) signals for enhanced navigational accuracy. The RC435 and RC435i GPS Chartplotters are waterproof and therefore can be installed above deck.
iv RC435 and RC435i Chartplotters Important Information This handbook contains important information on the installation and operation of your new equipment. In order to obtain the best results in operation and performance, please read this handbook thoroughly. Raymarine’s Product Support representatives, or your authorized dealer, are available to answer any questions you may have. Intended Use The Raymarine RC435 is a chartplotter display unit with a built-in GPS receiver and external GPS antenna.
v GPS Reception GPS systems must have a clear horizon-to-horizon view to track satellites. The GPS antenna must be mounted in an open location with a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Because its GPS antenna is internal, the RC435i should never be mounted below deck or panel (flush) mounted. The optional Panel Mounting Kit listed in the handbook applies to the RC435 with External Antenna only. Failure to properly mount the chartplotter can result in poor performance.

Chapter 5: Operation 65 5.4 Following Routes and Going to Target Points The GOTO key accesses the functions to follow a route or go to a waypoint, port, nearest facility or current cursor position. When the target destination is selected, the chartplotter calculates bearing, distance and cross track error; this information can be repeated on other instrumentation and passed to an autopilot via NMEA. Cross Track Error (XTE) can be reset to zero from the actual vessel position.
66 RC435 and RC435i Chartplotters Follow a Route Note: If a route has been reversed or if a route on screen was being followed, but stopped before completion, the target waypoint (outlined by a square box) may be different to when the route was created. The target waypoint should always be checked before initiating a FOLLOW ROUTE. ➤ To follow the current route: 1. Press the GOTO key. The GoTo/Follow functions are displayed.
Chapter 5: Operation 67 Target Point Arrival Target alarms (see Chapter 5) can be set up to sound when the vessel is approaching the target point. The arrival alarm is defined as a circle (not visible on the screen), with a specified radius around the target. The alarm is triggered when either of the following conditions is met: • • The distance to the target point is less than that specified for the Arrival alarm.
68 RC435 and RC435i Chartplotters FOLLOW FROM HERE EDIT WAYPOINT REMOVE WAYPOINT MOVE WAYPOINT D4687_1 The vessel follows the route, using the selected waypoint as the target. Advance to a Waypoint When following a route it is possible to advance to the next waypoint, even if the current target waypoint has not been reached. ➤ To advance to a waypoint: 1. Press the GOTO key to display the GoTo/Follow functions: STOP FOLLOW RESTART XTE WAYPOINT ADVANCE D4688_1 2. Select WAYPOINT ADVANCE.
Chapter 5: Operation 69 STOP GOTO RESTART XTE D4689_1 2. Select RESTART XTE. The dotted line between the original origin and the target waypoint is redrawn from the vessel’s current position to the target waypoint and the XTE is reset to zero Going to an Individual Target Rather than following a route, you can go directly to a selected target. This can be an existing waypoint, a port or nearest facility or the current cursor position. Go to a Waypoint To navigate directly to an existing waypoint: 1.
70 RC435 and RC435i Chartplotters SIM NU D4991-3 Figure 5-4: Waypoint List A waypoint also can be selected from the Waypoint List as described in Working with Waypoints on page 47. 2. Select GOTO WAYPOINT. A dotted line is drawn from the vessel’s current position to the selected waypoint and navigation to the selected waypoint begins. Go to Cursor Note: If navigation is currently in progress or if the cursor is homed (Find Ship) it is not possible to go to cursor.
Chapter 5: Operation 71 A temporary waypoint is placed at the cursor position and navigation proceeds towards it. The temporary waypoint is shown as a square with a dot in the center and is connected to the vessel’s starting position by a dotted line. On arrival, the arrival alarm is sounded and the arrival pop-up box is displayed. The dotted line is removed but the temporary waypoint remains on screen until another GOTO or FOLLOW operation is started, or the waypoint is removed.
72 RC435 and RC435i Chartplotters Stop Follow or Stop GoTo ➤ To stop following the route or target point: 1. Either press the GOTO key or move the cursor over the target waypoint. 2. Select the STOP GOTO or STOP FOLLOW function: STOP GOTO RESTART XTE D4689 1 STOP FOLLOW RESTART XTE WAYPOINT ADVANCE D4688_1 The dotted line from the vessel to the target waypoint disappears. 5.5 Changing the Display Mode Use the PAGE key to select the desired display mode.
Chapter 5: Operation 73 CDI Display The CDI display shows Cross Track Error (XTE) and distance to waypoint presented in a “runway” format: D6241-1 Figure 5-5: CDI Display The runway represents a 0.3nm width with the vessel symbol shown on the center line when the vessel is on course. Cross Track Error (XTE), Bearing to Waypoint, Distance to Waypoint, Time to Go (TTG), Course Over Ground (COG) and Speed Over Ground (SOG) are also shown.
74 RC435 and RC435i Chartplotters The graphical XTE indication places arrows either side of the steering instruction and pointing towards it, dependent on the value of XTE. The first arrow is shown when the XTE reaches 0.01nm, the second at.05nm and subsequently at 0.1nm intervals. BDI Display STEER PORT 76 D6242-2 Figure 5-6: BDI Display The BDI display shows deviation from the bearing to waypoint and distance to waypoint.
Chapter 5: Operation 75 The steering instruction for the BDI display uses the deviation from vessel bearing to waypoint bearing to instruct you to turn the vessel towards the target waypoint. This is different from the steering instructions in all other display modes, which use the XTE to assist you in steering the vessel back towards the rhumbline between origin and destination.
76 RC435 and RC435i Chartplotters If a route is not selected, the ROUTE field displays NO ROUTE. The WAYPOINT field shows the name of the waypoint. If the waypoint is part of a route then the title field includes the waypoint index in the route. If there is no target waypoint the text indicates NO WAYPOINT and all waypoint data is shown as dashes, one per character. If a route is being followed and the waypoint is not named, the text shows the waypoint number within the route (as displayed on screen).
Chapter 5: Operation 77 The Fix indicator shows the GPS Fix status and indicates either FIX OK, SD FIX or NO FIX.

78 RC435 and RC435i Chartplotters Time/Date Data The Time/Date display comprises text data occupying the whole screen: Textual data provides Sunrise and Sunset time, Current Time/ Date, Waypoint and Route arrival times plus the XTE indicator. Sunrise and Sunset times are for the selected day and at the selected position. The TODAY indicator emphasizes that the sunrise and sunset times relate to the current day.
Chapter 5: Operation 79 The Time and Date fields show the local current time and date. The TTG and ETA (WAYPOINT) data relates to the target waypoint. The TTG and ETA (ROUTE) data relates to the end of the route. All data is based on the SOG towards the current target. If the SOG is negative, or data is not available, these fields are replaced with dashes, one per character. ➤ To display Sunrise/Sunset information for a different date: 1.
80 RC435 and RC435i Chartplotters 5.6 Transferring Waypoints and Routes There are two methods of transferring waypoints and routes. The first is via the NMEA interface and the seconds is via the Gold Chart card. The transferring to and from the Gold Chart card is described in the Using Archives section on page 86. Displayed Waypoints Waypoints and routes can be received and transmitted via NMEA. The NMEA link could be to a PC, typically via a spare RS232 COM port.
Chapter 5: Operation 81 D4692-1 4. Initiate receiving of waypoints on the NMEA compatible equipment. 5. Select WPT/ROUTE TRANSFER. The waypoint transfer functions are displayed: D4693-1 6. Select SEND WAYPOINTS and press ENTER; the text changes to STOP SENDING. 7. To stop waypoint transfer, press ENTER. ➤ To receive waypoints and route lists: 1. Display the Waypoint List as previously described, then select WPT/ ROUTE TRANSFER. 2.
82 RC435 and RC435i Chartplotters 5.7 Using Tracks The TRACK function is used to mark an on-screen trail that the vessel has followed, as if it had left a visible fixed wake. While the track is turned on, it is recorded in the display unit’s memory. You specify the interval at which track points are made and a line is drawn on-screen between each point. Up to 1000 track points can be saved. The track remains on-screen, even following a Power off/on, until the track is cleared.
Chapter 5: Operation 83 Track points continue to be placed until the track is switched off. The current track is retained even when the unit is powered off. Setting a short time interval between track points is best suited to navigation within a close or complex environment such as an estuary or marina, whereas a greater distance interval is best suited to a long voyage. When complete, a track can be converted to and saved as a route (SmartRoute).
84 RC435 and RC435i Chartplotters 2. Use trackpad left/right to select TRACK ENABLE and press ENTER. The TRACK ENABLE text changes to indicate TRACK OFF. The vessel’s track is displayed on-screen with a line joining the points at the selected interval. Clearing the Current Track The current track can be cleared from the screen. ➤ To clear the current track: 1. Select CLEAR TRACK. The current track is cleared from the screen and memory. 2.

86 RC435 and RC435i Chartplotters 5.9 Using Archives The ARCHIVE function is used to save routes, tracks and waypoints to the Gold Chart card. This is particularly useful if you use a lot of routes, tracks or waypoints and do not wish to repeatedly re-enter these. Once you have archived your data to the card, the copy on the chartplotter can be deleted, thus freeing up memory. Note: A typical 32Mb Gold Chart card will hold up to 500 waypoints or 20 routes, each with up to 50 waypoints.
