All electronic navigation equipment is subject to external fac-tors beyond the control of the manufacturer. Therefore such equip-ment must be regarded as an aid to navigation. The prudent navigator will, for that reason, never rely on a single source for position fixing and navigation.

In case someone falls overboard, press the [MOB] keyand hold for two seconds (or activate an external MOBswitch), and the system will provide you with all rele-vant data for an efficient rescue operation.

An alarm will sound if thefunction is activated froman external MOB switch.Press [CLR] to confirmand reset the alarm.

The display willprovide present course,bearing and distance tothe MOB position. Elapsed time - first in sec-onds and then in minutes(*=over 9999 minutes).

The display will provide a graphical impres-sion of the MOB position - a man waving his arms inrelation to the ship.

Congratulations on your purchase of !"#- an advanced navigation and high performance position-ing tool for the professional fleet ....and yet uncomplicated to operate. The GN30 MKII has a 6" large bright 4 level monochrome LCD dis-play. The latest GPS receiver technology and built-in differential* re-ceiver ensures optimum accuracy at all times. Two units can beconnected together forming: The Bridge System ... one at the chart ta-ble for planning and the other at the helm for navigation. Waypointsand routes are transferred from planning to helm via a high speed datalink. !"##$%&&

is rapidly becoming the most common system used for navigation and positioning all over the world. Not only for maritime use, but also for land-based applications and aviation. The satellite-based system has been developed and is operated by theUS Department of Defence in order to provide an accurate and reliableservice, which include a 24-hour global coverage. The GPS system consists of approx. 24 satellites which orbit aroundthe Earth at an altitude of approx. 20,200 km. The satellites transmit perfectly syncronized data. However, depend-ing on the position, the signals will reach the receiver at a slightly dif-ferent time. By adding the measured time difference to the knownposition of the satellites it is possible to calculate the ships position towithin a few meters.

It is a good idea if you make yourself familiar with the key functionsand menu structure described in chapter 2 before you start out, andthen proceed with section 2.2 Getting started. See also Appendix A, Glossary of terms for description of abbrevia-tions, etc.

The GN30 MKII is sealed and does not contain any user serv-iceable parts. Opening of the unit will void its warranty. Touchingelectrical parts inside may cause bodily harm or death. If the unit is notworking properly, please check section 7.7 Troubleshooting. If yourGN30 MKII requires servicing or repair, cal your authorized SIMRADdealer.

Check that the DC power sup-plied to the unit is within the range of 10 to 32 volts. Note that the ap-ropriate fuse must be employed (see the fuse rating in section 7.4Electrical connections. Ensure that the power cord is firmly attached.

To ensure optimum performance of your equipment andto reduce electrical interference and risk of electrical shock, you needto properly ground the unit to the ships ground, using the groundscrew on the back of the unit.

The keypad consists of 21 operation keys which givevery straightforward access to the many features.

The [ENT] key has the special function of opening andclosing for insertion/editing of data. Use the multi-direction cursor key to move around in the chart dis-play, and to place the cursor on the function you wishto change, then select the data by using the alphanu-meric keys or +/- keys.

When utilizing the adaptor from the,mounting kit, be careful to turn the cable along with the antenna when screwing it onto the adaptor.

Mounting examples:

The universal antenna mount is for vertical andhorizontal pipes of 20-40 mm.

The antenna adaptor from the mounting kit willalso fit directly onto a standard US 1" 14 threadpipe.

/ +:8The internal voltage regulator will allow the GN30 MKII to operate nor-mally over the power supply voltage range from 10 to 32 Vdc. Connec-tion between the GN30 MKII and the external power supply isaccomplished by means of the supplied power cable, which is approxi-mately 1.5 meters long.

After connecting the cable to the power source, push the plug as far as itwill go into the two pin receptacle marked PWR on the rear of the cabi-net and turn the plugs coupling ring clockwise until it makes a click.

The use of longer cable runs, while possible, always increases the likeli-hood of increased interference and decreased performance. Care must betaken when increasing the cable lengths to ensure that proper, adequateand consistent shielding is maintained, that cable of adequate cross sec-tion is used, and that all connections are properly made and protectedfrom the effects of the marine environment.

/(Warning! A fuse should always be installed to protect the unit. Using a fuse which is not specified for your equipment can cause it toblow the instant the GN30 MKII has been switched on or it will not pro-tect the equipment as intended.

The GN30 MKII does not require any maintenance other than an occa-tional external cleaning. We recommend the use of a cloth with mildsoap water.

Periodically check the electrical connections. Make sure that connectionsare tight and that no cables are frayed or worn. In event of frayed orworn cables, have them repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.

Check that the storedTracksand Routes (not currentlyin use) are not all drawn upon the chart.

Turn off "Course line" inthe "Edit route" display foreach stored route - seesection 4.1.9, and turn off"Display track" in the"Track setup" display - seesection 4.2.7.

Warning! Do not operate the unit without a fuse. When replacing thefuse, make sure to use the same type of fuse again (2 AmpF), as anyother type may cause severe damage to the unit.

*The accuracy is measured on a satellite constellation with HDOP

A satellites almanac data, is data which determines anapproximate lane for satellites in orbit. The almanac da-ta is used by the GPS receiver to find and lock onto thesatellite signal. The GN30 MKII has a built-in basic al-manac.

The unit is preset to receive 19000 pulses per nauticalmile from the log transducer (paddle wheel). However,the figure might have to be changed to compensate forvarious transducers and actual waterflow passing thetransducer. The correct pulse rate is calculated by: 19000 x indicated speed (eg. 4 kn)

= 15.200 pulses/nm actual speed (GPS) (eg. 5 kn)

Measurement units:1 nm is 1,852 metres nautical mile per hour 1 km is 1,000 metreskilometer per hour1 mile is 1,609 metresmile per hour

Motion can be set to TRUE or RELATIVE.TRUE= the ship will move across the chart.RELATIVE= the ship is locked to the center of thescreen and the chart will move.

Orientation can be set to NORTH UP, HEAD UP, or NAVUP, and the rotation resolution preset to 15 can be setto adjust the chart for each 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25changes in present course or heading. With cursor on chart, Orientation will always bepresented as NORTH UP.NORTH UP= will present the chart as north up.HEAD UP= the chart will automatically turn, so your ac-tual course (COG) is up. If a compass is connected, thereference will automatically change to heading (com-pass).NAV UP= the chart will automatically turn, so yourbearing to destination is up.

Display position as LAT/LON, Loran C or decca lanes.
