[. . . ] RC435 & RC435i Chartplotters Owner's Handbook Document Number: 81236-2 Date: August 2004 ii RC435 and RC435i Chartplotters 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. The equipment is comprised of: · 6 in Color LCD display with Chart holder compartment for a Navionics Gold Chart electronic chart card · Low profile external GPS antenna for the RC435 · Internal GPS antenna for the RC435i ® The RC435/435i Chartplotters can output GPS and Waypoint data to operate with other equipment, such as an autopilot or repeater instrument connected via the NMEA 0183 interface. [. . . ] The alarm is set to OFF on power up. XTE Alarm The selected value is used as the cross track error limit. The alarm is triggered when the cross track error exceeds the selected limit when a GOTO or a Route Follow is in progress and an alarm message is displayed. Select Chart Use SELECT CHART to access different charts from the same Gold Card. 1G737T32-FLORIDA SE LOAD CHART "ENTER" TO LOAD "CLEAR" TO QUIT D6249-1 Use the trackpad up/down buttons to select the desired chart and press ENTER to load this as the active chart. Note: Only one chart can be active at any one time. Chart Text When ON, Chart text (such as place names) are shown on the screen. The selected setting is retained when the unit switched off. Chapter 4: Setting Up 43 Chart Boundaries When ON, Chart boundary lines are shown on the screen. The selected setting is retained when the unit switched off. Safety Contours Set to display safety contours of less than 2, 5, 10 and 20 meters or set to OFF. The selected setting is retained when the unit switched off. Depth Contours Set to display depth contours of 5, 10 and 20 meters, set to ALL to show all contours or set to OFF. The selected setting is retained when the unit switched off. Spot Soundings When ON, spot soundings are displayed. The selected setting is retained when the unit switched off. Light Sectors When ON, light sectors are displayed. The selected setting is retained when the unit switched off. Presentation Set to display navigation mark in either INTERNATIONAL or US symbology. The selected setting is retained when the unit is switched off. Position Calibration When ON, all position data is offset from WGS 84 by the value of the selected calibration. The default calibration offset is zero. To perform position calibration: 1. The menu is removed and a single function and help text are shown: D4713-1 44 RC435 and RC435i Chartplotters 3. The distance and bearing of cursor from vessel is displayed in the Status Bar as BRG and RNG. Press CLEAR to reset the value to zero and return to the Chart Set Up menu. --or-- Press ENTER to confirm the selected offset value. You are returned to the Chart Set Up menu with POSITION CALIBRATION set to ON. Position data is followed by "(c)" to indicate that the calibration offset has been set. An offset of 2nm or less is applied to all position data equal to the range and bearing between the WGS 84 position and the position entered. Note: Pressing ENTER with a selected offset of more than 2nm gives a warning message which is cleared on any key press. The Calibration Set Up mode maintains and the user can either reselect an acceptable offset or press CLEAR to reset the value to zero and return to the Set Up menu. 4. 4 GPS Setup The GPS set up page provides information for the status of the tracked navigation satellites plus HDOP and satellite Fix Status.
