Operating Instructions
1 Overview
1.3 MULTIPILOT ATLAS 1000
b_r1_e11.fm / 21.06.02
10
The Electronic Charts are vector charts which are provided by a CHARTPILOT ATLAS 93xx via a data
bus connection.
A CHARTPILOT is therefore necessary for operation of the CHARTRADARs, but is also used together
with RADARPILOTs. CHARTPILOT and CHARTRADAR or RADARPILOT exchange a large quantity of
data with each other, especially relating to the navigation sensors, the tracks, and the alarms that are
generated by the ECDIS which is contained in the CHARTPILOT.
1.3 MULTIPILOT ATLAS 1000
The MULTIPILOT ATLAS 1000 has a different Electronics Unit. There, it can be specified at service level
whether the MULTIPILOT is to perform the functions of the CHARTRADAR or those of the CHART-
PILOT
1)
.
In the first case, the MULTIPILOT ATLAS 1000 does not differ from the CHARTRADAR as far as the
operating procedure and the functions are concerned. All statements made about the CHARTRADAR in
these Operating Instructions are also applicable to the MULTIPILOT ATLAS 1000.
In the second case, the MULTIPILOT ATLAS 1000 does not differ from the CHARTPILOT ATLAS 9330
as far as the operating procedure and the functions are concerned - see Operating Instructions ED 3032
G 232.
1.4 The Equipment Components
The radar systems (RADARPILOT and CHARTRADAR) consist of two segments which are connected to
one another via bus systems (CAN Bus) etc. These segments are the radar indicator and the transceiver/
antenna.
The radar indicator is the central operating and display unit. It consists of
- the monitor, with a high-resolution 21" colour screen for the 12" radar or a 29" colour screen for the
16" radar,
- the trackball, with which all operating inputs can be made,
- the radar keyboard, with which operating steps that are frequently used can be carried out particu-
larly conveniently by means of function keys and rotary knobs,
- the diskette drive, which permits very easy servicing and makes it possible to save data and to
exchange data with radar systems installed on other ships, and
- the display electronics unit, the heart of which consists of a high-performance computer which also
performs the communication with the display electronics units of the other radar sets installed. In
addition, the interface adaptation for navigation sensors having NMEA interfaces takes place here.
- On the radar interconnection box, all ship’s cables leading to the radar indicator are connected. If
necessary, special Interface electronics is also accommodated here.
The parts of the radar indicator are usually integrated within a console. However, they can also be
assembled as a desk-top version without integrating the display electronics and the interconnection box.
The display electronics unit is then installed together with the radar interconnection box to form a single
unit.

In a future version, this selection will be made by means of the normal operating procedure.
