1.1 PACKING LIST When the package containing the GPS chartplotter is first opened, please check for the following contents. If any parts are missing contact the dealer this GPS chartplotter was purchased from. Accessories and replacement parts may be ordered from STANDARD HORIZON’s Parts Department at 562/404-2700 Ext. 351 or via the web at www.standardhorizon.com. 1.1.
PAGE 10
1.3 SAFETY / WARNING INFORMATION This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where the radio operator must have the knowledge to control the exposure conditions of its passengers and bystanders by maintaining the minimum separation distance of 0.6 m (2 feet). Failure to observe these restrictions will result in exceeding the FCC RF exposure limits. 1.3.0 VHF Marine Antenna Installation The antenna must be located at least 0.
PAGE 11
1.4 FCC RADIO LICENSE INFORMATION Vertex Standard radios comply with the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) requirements that regulate the Maritime Radio Service. 1.4.0 Station License An FCC ship station license is no longer required for any vessel traveling in U.S. waters (except Hawaii) which is under 20 meters in length.

2. GETTING STARTED 2.0 MOUNTING THE GPS CHARTPLOTTER The CPV350 is supplied with hardware for bracket or flush mounting. Below are pictures showing actual examples of the two types of installation. 2.1 BRACKET MOUNTING The CPV350 can be mounted using the supplied bracket. Before installing ensure the area the CPV350’s bracket is mounted to is strong enough to support the weight of the CPV350 especially while under way.
PAGE 13
2.2 FLUSH MOUNTING The CPV350 is supplied with a flush mount template for the cutout hole and screw holes required to install the CPV350. NOTE Before drilling holes ensure there are no obstructions behind the location that could interfere with the mounting and there is physically enough room to mount the CPV350. 1. After a location is found, peal the template label from the backing and apply the label to the mounting area. 2.
PAGE 14
2.3 CONNECTIONS The CPV350 has a cable or connectors that are used to connect the CPV350 to Power Supply, to the GPS WAAS Smart antenna, optional FF520 50/200kHz BLACK BOX FISH FINDER and to NMEA devices such as VHF's, digital instruments and autopilots as shown in the image below: PA Horn GPS VHF Antenna Antenna External Speaker Autopilot FF520 Fish Finder CPV350 Figure 2.4 Installing the GPS WAAS Smart antenna 2.3.0 Rear Panel Connections 1.
PAGE 15
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Figure 2.5 CPV350 Rear Panel 2.3.1 VHF Antenna ABOUT VHF RADIO The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with some shore stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially “line of sight” (VHF signals do not travel well through objects such as buildings, hills or trees).
PAGE 16
2.3.3 Coaxial Cable VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable - a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by its diameter and construction. For runs less than 20 feet, RG-58/U, about 1/4 inch in diameter is a good choice. For runs over 20 feet but less than 50 feet, the larger RG-8X should be used for cable runs over 50 feet RG213 should be used. For installation of the connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figure below. Figure 2.4.
PAGE 17
2.3.4 Optional Enhanced Second VHF/PA Station INSTALLATION The CPV350 is capable of using up to 2 Enhanced RAM+ mics or VH-310 Handset to remotely control the Radio, DSC, and Distress functions. In addition the CPV350 can operate as a full function intercom system. 1. Connect the Routing Cable to the one of the Remote Mic eight pin connector on the rear panel, then tighten the Cable Nut. 2. Referring to Figure 3, make a 1.2” (30 mm) hole in the wall, then insert the Routing Cable into this hole.
PAGE 18
Remote Mic or External Speaker Selection By default the RAM+ or VH-310 Handset internal speaker is turned on, however using the RAM+ mic (or VH-310 Handset) this speaker can be turned off so the external speaker can be used. RAM+ mic procedure 1. Press and hold the [CALL/SET] key. 2. Press the [ ] or [ ] key to select RADIO SETUP. 3. Press the [CALL/SET] key. 4. Press the [ ] key to until EXT SPK is shown and press the [CALL/SET] key. 5.
PAGE 19
2.3.5 NMEA Connections NOTE The CPV350 can send many sentences to external NMEA devices. The NMEA output wires are Brown and White and the NMEA Common is Green. If you have connected devices as shown in the below table and need to feed NMEA to other devices (Autopilot, Radar ....) you can parallel wires from the Brown or White wires.
PAGE 20
2.3.8 Outputting GPS Coordinates Some PC programs use NMEA sentences from a GPS to show position. The CPV350 outputs GLL, RMB and RMC. PC DB9 Connection Pin 2 Pin 4 2.3.9 CPV350 Connection Brown wire Green NMEA Data Page The NMEA Data Page is very useful to see if an External device (example: Depth Sounder) is transmitting NMEA sentences to the GPS chart plotter.
PAGE 21
2.4 GPS ANTENNA 2.4.0 Mounting the GPS WAAS Smart Antenna The CPV350 is supplied with a 12 Channel GPS WAAS Smart antenna. This antenna is designed to be mounted on a base, installed on an extension or even flush mounted. Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky and is not located within 3 FT of Radar or other transmitting antenna. Ensure there are no major obstructions or fixtures in the immediate proximity to the antenna.

15. AIS AIS is an Automatic Identification System. It has been introduced to improve the safety of navigation by assisting in the efficient operation of ship-to ship, ship reporting and VTS applications. The system should enable operators to obtain information from the ship automatically, requiring a minimum of involvement of ship’s personnel, and should have a high level of availability.

Dangerous Target: Target detected by CPA or TCPA Alarm. Dangerous target is Active Target by definition. For better visibility Dangerous Target symbol is flashing. Sleeping Target: Target located outside the Activation Range. Sleeping target is represented by a small oriented triangle. Lost Target: When the AIS info is not received from that vessel for 3.5 minutes. The presentation will be a flashing black triangle with a cross through. Activation Range: Range around your boat where targets become active.
