Marine Search and Rescue (SAR) feature The marine SAR feature creates a search pattern route in the form of a parallel or creeping line search pattern on the chart. To use the feature it must be enabled in the advanced features dialog. The following is an example of an SAR area on the chart. The purple area is the area that is defined by you. The light orange shading is the area that is calculated by the system. Setting up the search area Place the cursor on the chart in the location of Point A. Then use the New search pattern menu option to set up the search area. This option opens the SAR Edit dialog. 30 Charts | NSSevo3S Operator Manual Define the four corners of the search area, by entering corner coordinates. The following settings must be defined: · Track width - controls how much space is in between parallel legs (the legs with the longest length). · Number of vessels - controls how many SAR routes are generated. An SAR route is created for each vessel. The first vessel will have a red route and the others will have a dashed black route. The space between each vessel is the track spacing distance. · Direction - can be either Parallel or Creeping. Parallel direction makes the route move along the side with the longest length. Creeping is the opposite as it moves along the shortest side. · Starting corner (CSP) - determines which corner you want to start from. The system will calculate the number of legs and leg distances. It also calculates the Commence Start Position (CSP) as half the track spacing from the starting corner. The start heading is calculated as the heading parallel to the longest side of the search rectangle from the start position. Editing the search parameters Use the Edit SAR dialog to alter search pattern parameters. You can also change the 4 corners of the search area using the set to cursor menu options. Position the cursor on the chart and then select the appropriate set to cursor menu option. Ú Note: The Close option on the Edit SAR dialog saves changes and closes the dialog.

If autopilot functionality is included in your system, the autopilot can be set to automatically navigate the vessel. For information about positioning waypoints and creating routes, refer to "Waypoints, routes, and tracks" on page 41. Navigation panels The Nav panel The Nav panel is activated from the Home page, either as a full page panel or as part of a split page. A Data fields B Vessel heading C Bearing to next routepoint D Route information Indicates the distance of the route, the route name, and the estimated time to reach the end of the route. E Bearing line with allowed off course limit When travelling on a route, the bearing line shows the intended course from one waypoint towards the next. When navigating towards a waypoint (cursor position, MOB or an entered lat/lon position), the bearing line shows the intended course from the point at which navigation was started towards the waypoint. F XTE limit If the XTE (Cross Track Error) exceeds the defined XTE limit, this is indicated with a red arrow including the distance from the track line. Refer to "XTE limit" on page 49. G Vessel symbol Indicates boat position and heading. H Routepoint information Indicates the distance to the routepoint, the routepoint name, and the estimated time to reach the routepoint. The Position panels You can switch between displaying the Navigation panel or the Position panel. The Position panel is activated from the menu. By default, there is one position panel available showing GPS position. Navigating | NSSevo3S Operator Manual 47 If Loran is enabled in the Navigation settings dialog, there are two position panels. This is indicated with arrow symbols on left and right side of the panel. You toggle between the panels by: · selecting the left or right arrow symbols · using the arrow keys GPS position info Loran position info Menu options You can use menu options to: · navigate to cursor · navigate to a waypoint · navigate a route While navigating, the menu expands to provide options to: · skip waypoints when navigating a route · restart navigating to cursor, a waypoint or a route · cancel navigating to cursor, a waypoint or a route Navigating with the autopilot When you start navigation on a system with autopilot functionality, you are prompted to set the autopilot to navigation mode. Ú Note: The prompt to set the autopilot to navigation mode is disabled if the boat type is set to SAIL in the Autopilot Commissioning dialog. If you choose not to engage the autopilot, the autopilot can be set to navigation mode from the Autopilot Controller later on. For more information about autopilot functionality, refer to the autopilot chapter of the autopilot being used. Navigation settings Navigation method Different methods are available for calculating the distance and bearing between any two geographical points. 48 Navigating | NSSevo3S Operator Manual The Great circle route is the shortest path between two points. However, if you are to travel along such a route, it would be difficult to steer manually as the heading would constantly be changing (except in the case of due north, south, or along the equator). Rhumb lines are tracks of constant bearing. It is possible to travel between two locations using Rhumb line computation, but the distance would usually be greater than if Great circle is used. Arrival radius Sets an invisible circle around the destination waypoint. The vessel is considered arrived at the waypoint when it is within this radius. When you are navigating a route, the arrival radius defines the point at which a turn is initiated. The arrival circle (1) should be adjusted according to boat speed. The higher the speed, the wider the circle. The intention is to make the autopilot start the heading change in due time to make a smooth turn onto the next leg. The figure below may be used to select the appropriate waypoint circle when creating the route. Ú Note: The distance between any waypoints in a route must not be smaller than the radius of the waypoint arrival circle. XTE limit Defines how far the vessel can deviate from the selected route. If the vessel goes beyond this limit, an alarm is activated. Arrival alarm When the arrival alarm is enabled, an alarm is activated when the vessel reaches the waypoint or when it is within the specified arrival radius. Magnetic variation Magnetic variation is the difference between true bearings and magnetic bearings, caused by different locations of the Geographic and the Magnetic north poles. Any local anomalies such as iron deposits might also affect the magnetic bearings. When set to Auto, the system automatically converts magnetic north to true north. Select manual mode if you need to enter your own local magnetic variation. Navigating | NSSevo3S Operator Manual 49 Datum This system uses the WGS datum format, which is a standard for use in cartography and satellite navigation (including GPS).

TripIntel | NSSevo3S Operator Manual 53 8 Radar About radar Several radar sensors are supported. This chapter describes features and options for a variety of supported radars. The features and options available to you are dependent on the radar antenna(s) connected to your system. The Radar panel A Radar information window B Heading line* C Compass* D Range rings * E Quick image controls F Data bar** * Optional radar symbology. Radar symbology can be turned ON/OFF collectively from the radar menu, or individually as described in radar settings dialog. ** You can show or hide the data bar using the data bar option in the radar settings dialog. Dual radar You can use a dual panel page to show radar images from two different radar sources. Ú Note: Interference will be seen on the Broadband Radar on most ranges when a pulse or Halo radar, and a Broadband radar are transmitting at the same time on the same vessel. We recommend to only transmit on one radar at a time. For example, transmit Broadband radar for typical navigational usage, or pulse or Halo radar to locate weather cells, defined coastlines at a distance and to trigger Racons. Selecting the radar source You specify the radar in the radar panel by selecting one of the available radars in the radar source menu option. If you have a multiple radar panel page, the radar is set individually for each radar panel. Activate one of the radar panels, and then select one of the available radars in the radar source menu option. Repeat the process for the second radar panel, and select an alternative radar for this panel. Ú Note: The 3-digit radar source number is the last 3 digits of the radar's serial number. Radar overlay You can overlay the Radar image on the Chart. This can help you to easily interpret the radar image by correlating the radar targets with charted objects. Ú Note: A heading sensor must be present in the system for radar overlay. 54 Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual When the radar overlay is selected, basic radar operational functions are available from the Chart panel's menu. Selecting radar overlay source on chart panels To select the radar source of the radar overlay displayed on the chart panel, use the Radar options and then Source chart panel menu options to select the radar source. For chart pages with more than one chart with radar overlay, it is possible to set up different radars sources for each chart panel. Activate one of the chart panels and then select one of the available radars in the radar source menu option. Repeat the process for the second chart panel with radar overlay, and select an alternative radar for this panel. Radar operational modes The radar's operational modes are controlled from the Radar panel menu. The modes available are dependent on your radar's capability. Standby The power to the radar scanner is on, but the radar is not transmitting. Ú Note: You can also put the radar in standby mode from the System Controls dialog. Power off The power to the radar scanner is turned off. The power off option is only available when the radar is in standby mode. Note: Not all radars can be powered off using the Power off menu option. For alternative power ON/OFF options refer to the radar installation manual. Power save Ú Note: This feature is only available for Halo20+ and Halo24 radars. The power save menu option applies the settings made in the power save settings dialog to the radar source. The power save menu option is only available when the radar is in standby mode. Select the standby option, and then the transmit option to return to normal transmit mode. Power save options Opens the power save settings dialog. The power save options menu option is only available when the radar source is in standby mode. The settings made in the power save settings dialog are applied when the Set option is selected. Use the power save settings dialog to specify the number of scans while transmitting and the amount of time the radar source will be in standby, during power save mode. When in standby during power save mode, the radar image freezes and becomes greyscaled. When the specified standby time period ends, the radar will commence transmitting Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual 55 until the completion of the number of scans specified is reached. The radar will then go into power save standby again. The power save cycle will continue until the radar source is in standby mode, transmit mode or powered off. If a radar control is adjusted during the standby time period, the radar will commence transmitting until the completion of the number of scans specified is reached. Guard Zone alarms remain available while power save mode is active. If an alarm is triggered while in power save mode, the radar will remain transmitting indefinitely. Power save mode will need to be re-enabled manually in this event. Power save settings will be applied to both radar ranges in dual range mode. Transmit The scanner is on and transmitting. Detected targets are drawn on the radar PPI (Plan Position Indicator). Ú Note: You can also put the radar in transmit mode from the system controls dialog. Adjusting the radar range The radar range is shown in the system information area on the radar image. Use the zoom buttons to increase or decrease the range. Dual range Ú Note: Halo20 does not support dual range. Ú Note: Dual range is not supported by Halo 3000 radars in Bird+ mode. When connected to a Broadband 4G or Halo radar (other than Halo20), it is possible to run the radar in Dual Range mode. When connected to a Halo radar (other than Halo20), it is possible to run the radar in Dual Range mode. The radar appears in the radar sources menu as two virtual radar sources A and B. Range and radar controls for each virtual radar source are fully independent and the source can be selected for a particular chart or radar panel in the same manner as dual radar described in "Selecting the radar source" on page 56. Ú Note: Some controls that are related to physical properties of the radar itself are not independent of source. These are Fast Scan, Antenna Height, Sector Blanking and Bearing alignment. The number of targets that can be tracked for each virtual radar source depends on your radar source. Up to two independent target tracking zones may be defined for each virtual radar source. Sector blanking Ú Note: This feature is only supported by Halo radars. Radar installed in close proximity to a mast or structure could cause unwanted reflections or interference to appear on the radar image. Use the sector blanking feature to stop the radar from transmitting on up to four sectors in the image. The sector blanking option is available in the radar installation dialog. Refer to the installation manual. Ú Note: Sectors are setup relative to the heading line of the radar. The bearing of the sector is measured from the center line of the sector. Ú Note: Sector blanking should be applied very carefully to avoid reducing the radar's usefulness in identifying valid and potentially dangerous targets. 56 Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual Main radar PPI Radar overlay on a chart Adjusting the radar image The radar image can be improved by adjusting the gain, by filtering out unwanted echoes due to sea clutter, rain or other weather conditions, and by tuning the sensitivity of the radar receiver. You can adjust the gain, sea clutter, and rain clutter by selecting the relevant icon in the top right corner of the radar panel or from the radar panel main menu. Ú Note: The radar image settings do not affect the AIS targets. Sea and rain clutter can be present at the same time, and further degradation in detection performance will be experienced. As sea clutter is related to short range and rain clutter is usually present in a longer range, rain clutter settings can be adjusted without affecting the echoes in the sea clutter area. The radar image can be adjusted as described in the next sections. Radar modes Use modes are available with preset control settings for different environments. Not all modes are available for all radar models. Custom mode All radar controls can be adjusted and settings will be retained after a mode change or radar power cycle. Radar defaults are set for general purpose use. Harbor mode The radar settings are optimized for areas such as busy waterways and large man-made structures where good target discrimination and rapid image updates are needed. Offshore mode The radar settings are optimized for offshore sea conditions and making isolated targets larger and easy to see. Weather mode The radar settings are optimized for best detection and presentation of rain clutter. Image update rate is slowed and color depth is increased. Bird mode The radar settings are optimized for best detection of birds near shore and offshore. The radar is set up for high sensitivity. Warning: This mode is not recommended for use in congested harbor environments. Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual 57 Bird+ mode Bird+ mode works with Halo 3000 Series radars, offering enhanced, long-range offshore bird detection capabilities. Ú Note: Dual range is not supported by Halo 3000 radars in Bird+ mode, but either range A or range B will operate. If Bird+ mode is activated while the other range is already transmitting, the other range will automatically be put into Standby. Once Bird+ mode is exited, the other range will automatically resume transmission. The maximum range is 24 NM. Warning: This mode is not recommended for use in congested harbor environments. Available controls for the various use modes Not all controls are adjustable in each mode. The following table shows preset controls and adjust-ability for each control. Noise rejection Threshold Target expansion Interf. reject Target separation Fast scan Custom Adj. Adj. Adj. Adj. Adj. Adj. Harbor Medium 30% Low Adj. Medium High Offshore High 30% Medium Adj. Off High Weather Medium 0% Off Adj. Off Off Bird/Bird+ High 0% Off Adj. Off Off Modes in dual ranges When connected to a radar with dual range capability, it is possible to run the radar in Dual Range mode. Ú Note: Dual range is not supported by Halo 3000 radars in Bird+ mode. Modes can be set independently for each range. For example, you can have Offshore mode for range A and Weather mode for range B. However, interaction between ranges occurs in some cases: · When using Bird mode for both ranges, maximum range is restricted to 24 NM and range resolution is reduced. · Fast scan - The antenna rotation speed is set to the slower of the two modes selected. For example, Fast Scan is disabled when using Harbor and Weather modes because Fast Scan is Off in Weather mode. · The Interference reject setting can affect the interference seen or removed on both ranges. Directional clutter rejection This mode is active when Sea clutter is set to Auto or Harbor/Offshore (options are dependent on the radar model). The gain of the radar receiver is adjusted dynamically during the 360 deg. sweep according to the sea clutter level, for increased target sensitivity to leeward and in heavier sea states. For Halo radars it is also possible to fine tune the directional clutter rejection with Auto offset adjustments. Ú Note: This mode is not selectable in the menu and you cannot see that it is activated in the panel or menu. When Sea clutter is set to Manual, the Directional Clutter Rejection mode will be OFF (nondirectional). 58 Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual Sea state settings of Calm, Moderate or Rough are available in the menu to better optimize the radar image to your liking. Gain The gain controls the sensitivity of the radar receiver. A higher gain makes the radar more sensitive to radar returns, allowing it to display weaker targets. If the gain is set too high, the image might be cluttered with background noise. Gain has a manual and an automatic mode. You toggle between automatic and manual mode in the slide bar, or by pressing and holding the rotary knob. Sea clutter Filters the effect of random echo returns from waves or rough water near the vessel. When you increase the value, the sensitivity of the near field clutter caused by waves is reduced. If the value is increased too much, both sea clutter and targets will disappear from the display. Targets around own ship may then not be shown as potentially dangerous targets. The system includes predefined sea clutter settings for harbor and offshore conditions, in addition to the manual mode where you can adjust the settings. Ú Note: At increasing levels of sea clutter, some targets cannot be detected even by means of sea clutter filtering, since buoys or other small objects are producing echoes of a level lower than the ones coming from waves. Sea State Set the Sea State control according to current sea conditions for best sea clutter rejection. Rain clutter Rain clutter is used to reduce the effect of rain, snow or other weather conditions on the radar image. When you increase the value, the sensitivity of the long distance field clutter caused by rain is reduced. The value should not be increased too much as this may filter out real targets. If the precipitation is located over the ship's position, the adjustment of rain clutter will affect the presentation of near echoes. Using the cursor on a radar panel By default, the cursor is not shown on a radar panel. When you position the cursor on the radar panel, the cursor position window is activated. The cursor assist function Ú Note: The cursor assist function is available if it is enabled. Refer to "Customizing the long press feature" on page 21. The cursor assist function allows for fine tuning and precision placement of the cursor without covering details with your finger. Activate the cursor on the panel, then press and hold your finger on the screen to switch the cursor symbol to a selection circle, appearing above your finger. Without removing your finger from the screen, drag the selection circle to the desired position. When you remove your finger from the screen the cursor reverts to normal cursor operation. Go to cursor You can navigate to a selected position on the image by positioning the cursor on the panel, and then using the go to cursor menu option. New waypoint You can save a new waypoint at a selected position by positioning the cursor on the panel, and then using the new waypoint menu option. Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual 59 Advanced radar options Menu options can vary depending on your radar's capability and the selected operation mode. Noise Rejection Sets the amount of noise filtering applied by the radar. Target sensitivity is increased at longer ranges when this control is set to Low or High, but does cause some loss of target discrimination. Ú Note: To get maximum range performance from the radar, transmit on one range only, set the Noise Reject control to High and the threshold as low as possible. The default is 30% for less clutter on the screen. In some areas where extreme high interference may exist, try OFF for best radar image. Threshold The threshold sets required signal strength for the lowest radar signals. Radar returns below this limit are filtered and are not displayed. Target expansion Target expansion increases the length of targets in range, making them easier to see. Rejecting radar interference The Interference rejection (IR or Interf. rej.) option is used to eliminate second trace echoes from far distance targets, and the interference from radar units operating in the same frequency band. When the IR is ON, transceiver pulse staggering is enabled. When enabled, the transceiver PRF is changed slightly for each sweep. By doing this, spiral interferences and second trace echoes are split in range from sweep to sweep. The IR processing clears all the echoes found at the same range if they are not present in each sweep. The IR must be chosen according to the environment around own ship: · IR off when the maximum signal from the receiver is needed · IR on when the interference or second trace echoes disturb the radar image To avoid missing weak targets, the interference rejection should be set to OFF when no interference exists. Target separation Controls the target discrimination of the radar (separation between objects is more prominent). Fast scan Sets the speed of the radar antenna rotation. This option gives faster target updates. Ú Note: Maximum speed may not be achieved depending on the radar Settings, Mode, and Range selected. The radar will only rotate as fast as the current control settings allow. Target boost The target boost control increases pulse length or reduces radar bandwidth to make targets appear larger in range and increase radar sensitivity. 60 Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual More options Menu options can vary depending on your radar's capability. VelocityTrack Ú Note: When VelocityTrack is enabled antenna rotation speed may be reduced. Ú Note: When operating the radar in Dual range mode with one of the ranges set to 36 nm or more, increased VelocityTrack coloring noise over land areas may be seen. Doppler coloring is a navigation aid to distinguish moving targets approaching or diverging from your vessel. The radar indicates if a target is approaching or diverging from your vessel when both these conditions are true: · The target's relative speed is greater than the VelocityTrack speed threshold. · The target is not geo-stationary (e.g. land or a marker buoy). The following options are available: · Off - turns off Doppler coloring · Normal - approaching targets and diverging targets are colored. · Approaching targets - only approaching targets are colored The color of approaching and diverging targets depends on the palette used: Radar image palettes · Diverging targets are blue colored on all radar image palettes. · Approaching target colors on radar image palettes: - Black/Red palette - Yellow - White/Red palette - Yellow - Black/Green palette - Red - Black/Yellow palette - Red Radar overlay palettes on charts · Diverging targets are dark grey. · Approaching targets are yellow. VelocityTrack settings Use this dialog to set speed thresholds of targets to be colored. The speed threshold can be defined to apply for the radar source of the selected radar panel only, or to all radar sources connected to the system. The setting is only applied to those radars powered and connected at the time the setting is made. If the all radar sources option is selected, newly connected radars will use the specified values automatically. VelocityTrack examples Approaching and diverging moving targets can be indicated as neutral (not colored) in some circumstances. The navigator should be aware of these situations to safely use the VelocityTrack feature as an aid for collision avoidance. Examples of how VelocityTrack behaves in 2 navigation scenarios is illustrated below. The illustrations show a target (A) crossing own vessel's (B) path. Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual 61 A 0° 5432 1 B 0° 1 2 3 4 5 C D The examples show the target movement (1-5) over 5 radar scans with the radar in relative motion mode. In example C, own vessel COG is 0°, and speed is 0 knots. In example D, own vessel COG is 0°, and speed is 10 knots. In both examples, the target COG is 270°, and the speed is 20 knots. The colors in the examples are according to the colors used for black/green and black/yellow radar palettes: · Red (C1/C2 and D1/D2), indicating the target is on an approaching path to own vessel. Its relative speed at that point is greater than the VelocityTrack speed threshold. · Not colored (C3 and D3/D4), indicating it is temporarily neutral because its relative speed at that point is less than the VelocityTrack speed threshold. · Blue (C4/C5 and D5), indicating the target is diverging away from own vessel and its relative speed at that point is greater than the VelocityTrack speed threshold. The radar palette Different colors (palettes) can be used to represent detail on your radar panel. Orientation Radar orientation is indicated on the upper left corner of the radar panel as either HU (Heading UP), NU (North Up) or CU (Course up). Head-up In head-up mode, the heading line on the PPI is oriented on the 0° on the bearing scale and towards the top of the screen. The radar image is displayed relative to own ship, and when the ship turns the radar image rotates. Ú Note: Head-up is only available in relative motion mode, and it is the only orientation mode available if the radar is not connected to a heading source. North up In north up mode, the 0° indication on the PPI represents north. The heading line on the PPI is oriented according to own ship heading obtained from the compass. When the ship turns the heading line changes its direction according to the ship's heading, while the radar image remains stabilized. The north up orientation is not available if no heading source is connected to the radar. If heading data is lost, the system will automatically switch to head-up orientation. 62 Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual Course up In course up mode, the top of the bearing scale indicates the ship's true course measured from north at the time course up was activated. When the ship turns the bearing scale remains fixed, while the heading line rotates with the ship's yawing and course change. The course up orientation is reset by re-selecting the course up mode. Offsetting the PPI center You can set the antenna position origin to a different location on the radar PPI. The options described in the next sections are available. PPI center: Center PPI center: Look Ahead PPI Center: Offset Center The Center option resets the antenna position to the center of the PPI. Look ahead The Look ahead option is used to maximize the view ahead of the vessel. When selected the PPI center is placed at 70% of the radius of the PPI, 180° opposite the top of the display. Ú Note: The look ahead option is only available for heading up radar orientation. Offset This option allows you to use the cursor for selecting the PPI center. Move the cursor to the preferred offset position, and confirm your selection. Radar motion mode Radar motion is indicated on the upper left corner of the radar panel as either TM (True motion) or RM (Relative motion). Relative motion In relative motion your vessel remains in a fixed location on the Radar PPI, and all other objects move relative to your position. You select the position of the fixed location as described in "Offsetting the PPI center" on page 63. True motion In true motion your vessel and all moving targets move across the Radar PPI as you travel. All stationary objects remain in a fixed position. When the vessel's symbol reaches 75% of the PPI radius (A), the radar image is redrawn with the vessel symbol re-positioned (B) 180° opposite the current heading bearing. A B When true motion is selected, the true motion reset option is available from the menu. This allows for manually resetting the radar image and vessel symbol to its starting position. Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual 63 Ú Note: True motion is only available when the PPI is in either north up or course up orientation mode. To set to true motion in the MFD, select the Position option in the More menu and then select the True motion option. Radar symbology Use this menu option to collectively turn on/off radar symbology which are selected to show in the Radar Settings panel (refer to "Radar settings" on page 72). Target trails A target trail indicates the target movement by leaving an afterglow, gradually reducing the intensity over time. Target trails show where a target used to be, and the function is useful for quickly assessing the movement of targets relative to your own vessel. You can set the length of the trails. The length represents the time it takes for the trails to fade out. You can also turn OFF target trails. Clear trails The clear trails option clears target trails from your radar panel temporarily. The trails start to build up again unless you switch the function off. EBL/VRM markers The electronic bearing line (EBL) and variable range marker (VRM) allows quick measurements of range and bearing to vessels and landmasses within radar range. Two different EBL/VRMs can be placed on the radar image. The EBL/VRMs are by default positioned from the center of the vessel. It is, however, possible to offset the reference point to any selected position on the radar image. Defining an EBL/VRM marker 1. Ensure that the cursor is not active. 2. Activate the More menu, select EBL/VRM, and then select EBL/VRM 1 or EBL/VRM 2. The EBL/VRM is now positioned on the radar image. 3. Select the adjustment option from the menu if you need to reposition the marker. 4. Adjust the marker by dragging it into position. 5. Save your settings. Placing EBL/VRM markers by using the cursor 1. Position the cursor on the radar image 2. Activate the menu 3. Select one of the EBL/VRM markers - The EBL line and the VRM circle are positioned according to the cursor position. Offsetting an EBLVRM marker 1. Ensure that the cursor is not active. 2. Activate the menu and select EBL/VRM, then select the marker you wish to offset. 64 Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual 3. Select the set offset option. 4. Position the cursor on the radar panel to set the offset position. 5. Select the save option to save your settings. You can reset the EBL/VRM center to vessel position from the menu. Tracking targets Ú Note: This manual describes a variety of tracking options for different radar systems. The available tracking options in your system are dependent on your radar system's capabilities. Ú Note: Tracking targets requires a good heading source and a valid GPS position fix. Any radar target within a preset range can be acquired and tracked. The system displays targets in the radar panel based on the settings you make in the menu and the vessels and tracked targets dialog. You can set up tracking zones (max range 42 NM). Refer to "Target tracking zones" on page 65. The system will track targets that enter the zones, which meet the settings you make in the vessels and tracked targets dialog. An alert is triggered if the number of tracked targets exceeds maximum system limitations and capacity. When the number of targets exceed limits or capacity, only the targets closest to own vessel will be displayed. Target tracking zones The target tracking zone function allows for automatic acquisition of radar targets when they enter a user defined zone. The guard zone function does not track targets automatically when they enter the guard zone. The function only raises an alarm specified for it when it enters the guard zone. To specify which targets are displayed in the radar panel, use the vessels and tracked targets dialog to define dangerous targets, targets of interest and create target filters. Refer to "Vessels and tracked targets" on page 73. The guard zone option or target tracking zone option depends on the radar source capability. Setting up the zones is similar. Guard zones Target tracking zones Two zones can be defined, each with individual settings. When a target enters a zone, it will automatically be considered as safe or dangerous based on the CPA/TCPA settings. ZoneTrack When selected, you can setup tracking zones or reactivate tracking zones which were already setup. Alarms can be received when the radar acquires a target inside a zone. Unselect to disable all zones. The zones will be removed from the radar image. The radar stops acquiring targets inside the zones and no alarms will be sent. Ú Note: The ZoneTrack target limit is 50 targets per zone. The target limit cannot be changed. Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual 65 Setting a guard zone around your vessel A guard zone is an area (either circular or a sector) that you can define on the radar image. When activated, an alarm alerts you when a radar target enters or exits the zone. Creating guard zones or target tracking zones A guard zone or target tracking zone is an area (either circular or a sector) that you can define on the radar image. When activated, an alarm alerts you when a radar target enters or exits the zone. Defining a guard zone or a target tracking zone 1. Ensure that the cursor is not active. 2. Activate the menu, select guard zone or target tracking, then select one of the zones. 3. Select the shape for the zone. The adjustment options depend on the zone shape. 4. Select Adjust to define the settings for the zone. The values can be set from the menu or by dragging on the radar panel. A: Bearing, relative to the vessel heading B: Depth C: Range, relative to vessel center D: Width D CA B C B Shape: Sector 5. Select the save option to save your settings. Shape: Circle Guard zone or target tracking zone alarm settings An alarm can be set to activate when a radar target breaches the zone limits. Guard zones, select the Alarm when option to toggle between activating the alarm when the target enters or exits the guard zone. Target tracking zones, select Raise alarm and select the Alarm if option to toggle between activating the alarm while the target is in or when the target exits the target tracking zone. Sensitivity The guard zone sensitivity can be adjusted to eliminate alarms for small targets. Watching targets Use this option to help you follow specific targets on the radar image. Select a target, then select the Watch target option. The target becomes highlighted. Repeat the process to watch another target. Multiple targets can be watched. Stop watching targets You can stop watching targets which no longer need special attention. 66 Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual To stop watching specific targets, select a watched target on the radar image, then the Stop watching option. The stop watching option is available in the menu while a watched target is selected. Select the stop watching all option to stop watching all the watched targets. The stop watching all option is available when targets are being watched and while the cursor is cleared from the radar image. Radar target symbols The system uses the target symbols shown below. Radar target, not moving. Tracked radar target, not moving. Tracked radar targets have a ring 11 around them. They also show the target ID number. Tracked radar moving target with trail when target history is enabled. 5 Shows the tracked target ring and the target ID number. Tracked moving radar target with no course extension (short line indicating the direction where the target moves). Shows the tracked 2 target ring and the target ID number. Tracked moving radar target with course extension. Shows the tracked target ring and the target ID number. 5 Tracked dangerous radar moving target (yellow), with trail when target history is enabled. The yellow color is shown when the radar palette is 8 black/red or black/green. Shows the tracked target ring and the target ID number. Tracked dangerous radar moving target (purple), with trail when the target history is enabled. The purple color is shown when the radar 3 palette is white/red. Shows the tracked target ring and the target ID number. Tracked dangerous radar moving target (red), with trail when target history is enabled. The red color is shown when the radar palette is 4 black/yellow. Shows the tracked target ring and the target ID number. Tracked associated target. Shows the tracked target ring and the target ID number. When the radar and the AIS signal acquire the same target for tracking, the system will display the target with one symbol. This reduces the number of AIS symbols and radar targets on the PPI. The association function also compensates for a possible failure in one of the 8 two targets, e.g., if the radar tracked target is positioned behind an island, the system keeps tracking and visualizing the AIS target. Ú Note: The tracked radar target continues to be analyzed by the system when the target association is active. Selected radar target. Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual 67 Lost radar target. Possible target tracking errors Some factors can generate tracking errors or make the radar image difficult to read, and therefore reduce target detection capability: · Sea, rain, snow and low clouds returns · Radar Interference · Sidelobe echoes · Blind sectors · Low signal to noise ratio and signal to clutter ratio Warning: The speed and course of a radar target are obtained by consecutive measurements of the echo position. The data is then filtered to reach the required precision. This means, that every abrupt change of speed and direction will be recognized with a certain delay to reach absolute certainty that the target is moving in a different way. The confirmation delay is about five scans and after that some additional time is needed to reach the same data precision as from before the maneuver. Sea, rain, snow and low clouds returns Radar echoes in sea, rain or weather clutter areas may be masked by the clutter. The effects of such errors appear as continuous big changes of the target course and speed vectors. Sometimes the symbol of a target that has been acquired at high speed can slip away from the real target position after a certain time, and this might generate the lost target alarm. These errors can be avoided or at least minimized by proper manual adjustments of sea and rain controls, or by selecting the automatic control option. For more details, see "Adjusting the radar image" on page 57. Radar interference Other radars operating in the same frequency band can generate interference. Normally this is seen on the radar screen as a series of spirals. When the interference falls on the tracked target, it can cause a deformation of the size of the echo, and consequently a small error in the target's course and speed values. Adjustment option is available in the advanced menu. See "Rejecting radar interference" on page 60. Second trace echo A second trace echo is an echo received from a distant target, received after the following pulse has been transmitted. Second trace echoes are present only under abnormal atmospheric conditions, or in condition of super-refraction. These echoes will be displayed at their correct bearing, but at a wrong range. Second trace echoes can be recognized by their irregular shape. Since the period between two subsequent transmitted pulses is subject to small variations, the second trace echo appears undefined and hazy. Second trace echoes are automatically suppressed by the radar when the interference rejection is turned on. Refer "Rejecting radar interference" on page 60. Sidelobe echoes Radar antennas have a radiation pattern consisting of a main lobe and several very small sidelobes. Most of the energy transmitted by the radar is radiated and received back on the main lobe, and a very small part on the sidelobes. This has no effect in case of distant or small targets, but the returns from a large target at short range (less than 3 NM) can generate, on both sides of the main echo and at the same range, arcs or series of small echoes. These 68 Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual effects, when they are an extension of the main echo, can cause momentary errors for the tracking, and course and speed values given by the tracking can become unstable. The problem can usually be eliminated or strongly reduced by an accurate adjustment of the Sea clutter control. Refer to "Sea clutter" on page 59. Blind sectors Funnels, masts or other obstructions (when located near the radar antenna) may cause blind or shadow sectors, where the target visibility may be completely lost or strongly reduced. Targets remaining in these sectors for a long time (more than 10 antenna revolutions) will be considered lost, and the lost target alert will be triggered. Use the sector blanking feature to stop the radar from transmitting on up to four sectors in the image. Refer to "Sector blanking" on page 56. Low signal to noise ratio and signal to clutter ratio In situations where the signal to noise or the signal to clutter ratio of the radar echoes is low (small vessels in heavy sea or rain clutter, or big vessels close to the radar horizon), target detection is poor and the tracking will not detect the target at each antenna revolution. This will cause errors in the tracking, and it can range from missed information and up to complete loss of the target when it is missed for 10 consecutive antenna revolutions. Dangerous targets Radar targets are defined as dangerous targets in the Vessels and tracked targets dialog (TCPA/CPA settings), refer to "Vessels and tracked targets" on page 73. For the system to display dangerous target alert messages when dangerous targets are detected, the Dangerous vessel option must be enabled in the Vessels section of the Alarms settings dialog. Dangerous target alert messages When a vessel meets the dangerous target criteria set in the Vessels and tracked targets dialog (TCPA/CPA settings) and if the Dangerous target alert option in the Alarms settings dialog is enabled, a dangerous target alert message dialog is displayed. The following options are available in the message dialog: · Disable, closes the message dialog and cancels the dangerous target alert for all vessels. You can re-enable the dangerous vessel alert in the Vessels section of the Alarms settings dialog. Ú Note: When Disable is selected, the Dangerous target alert option in the Alarms settings dialog is turned off. When the Dangerous target alert option is turned off (disabled), dangerous target alert messages are not generated for either radar or AIS dangerous targets. · Ignore, closes the message dialog and disables the alert for that vessel. The alert for that vessel will reappear if the status of that vessel changes, i.e. that vessel becomes safe and then dangerous again. · View, closes the message dialog and opens the Radar panel with the dangerous vessel's pop-up activated. You can select the vessel's pop-up in the radar panel to see the vessel details. Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual 69 MARPA targets If the system includes a heading sensor, the MARPA function (Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid) can be used to track up to ten radar targets. You can set alarms to notify you if a target gets too close. Refer to "Radar settings" on page 72. MARPA tracking is an important tool for collision avoidance. Ú Note: MARPA requires heading data for both the radar and the unit. MARPA target symbols The system uses the target symbols shown below. Acquiring MARPA target. Typically it takes up to 10 full rotations of the scanner. MARPA target, not moving. Tracking MARPA target, not moving or at anchor. Tracked targets have a 11 ring around them.

Shows the tracked target ring and the target ID number. Tracked associated MARPA target. Shows the tracked target ring and the target ID number. When the radar and the AIS signal acquire the same target for tracking, the system will display the target with one symbol. This reduces the number of AIS symbols and radar targets on the PPI. The association function also compensates for a possible failure in one of 8 the two targets, e.g., if the radar tracked target is positioned behind an island, the system keeps tracking and visualizing the AIS target. Ú Note: The tracked radar target continues to be analyzed by the system when the target association is active. 70 Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual When no signals have been received within a time limit a target will be defined as lost. The target symbol represents the last valid position of the target before the reception of data was lost. Selected MARPA target, activated by positioning the cursor on the target icon. The target returns to the default target symbol when the cursor is removed. Tracking MARPA targets 1. Position the cursor on the target on the radar image 2. Select Acquire targets from the menu 3. Repeat the process if you want to track more targets After your targets are identified, it may take up to 10 radar sweeps to acquire and then track the target. Cancelling MARPA target tracking When targets are being tracked, the radar menu expands to include options for cancelling individual targets or to stop the tracking function. Cancel tracking individual targets by selecting the target icon before activating the menu. Viewing MARPA target information If the pop-up is activated, you can select a MARPA target to display basic target information. Information for the 3 MARPA targets closest to the vessel is also displayed in the data bar. When a target is selected, detailed information for the target can be displayed from the menu. You can display information about all MARPA targets by using the Vessels tool option on the Home page. MARPA alarm settings You can define the following MARPA alarms: · MARPA target lost Controls whether an alarm is activated when a MARPA target is lost. · MARPA unavailable Controls whether an alarm is activated if you do not have the required inputs for MARPA to work (valid GPS position and heading sensor connected to the radar server). Recording radar data You can record radar data and save the file internally in the unit, or save it onto a storage device connected to the unit. A recorded radar file can be used for documenting an event or an operational error. A logged radar file can also be used by the simulator. Ú Note: The record menu option is available if recording is turned on in the Advanced system settings. Note: It is recommended to record radar data directly to a microSD® card as the data will quickly use the unit's internal memory.

By default, the data shows targets arranged with the most dangerous targets on top. You can select to show radar targets on top and before any AIS targets, even if the AIS targets are considered more dangerous. 72 Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual Vessels and tracked targets This dialog contains settings for both AIS and radar targets. AIS specific settings are only available if you have a capable AIS device connected to your system. Use this option to specify: · Dangerous targets - Time to closest point of approach - specify the time of approach in which a vessel is to be considered dangerous. - Closest point of approach - specify the closest point of approach in which a vessel is to be considered dangerous. This setting determines the size of the safe ring if safe ring is enabled, refer to "Safe ring" on page 73. · Targets of interest - targets further away than the following distance will be hidden: - Range of interest - specify to show targets in all ranges (based on radar range) or targets within a specific distance of own vessel. · Filtering - define which and how many AIS targets will be shown. If the amount of targets exceeds the set number, only the most interesting targets will be shown. For radars that support tracking targets, the following target filter settings will also apply to tracked targets. Filter options are: - Show - specify to show all targets, dangerous targets, or no targets. - Max AIS targets - specify to show all AIS targets or specify a maximum number of AIS targets to be shown. - Hide slower than - specify to hide targets slower than a specific speed or all targets regardless of speed. - Hide lost targets after specify to hide targets that are lost after a certain amount of time or do not hide any lost targets. Safe ring A safe ring can be added around your vessel to present the danger zone. The radius of the ring is the same as the closest point of approach as set in the Vessels and Tracked Targets dialog. Refer to "Vessels and tracked targets" on page 73. Installation The Installation option is used for making radar installation settings. Installation settings must be made before using the radar. Installation setup settings are described in the separate Radar or the display unit's installation manuals. Antenna setup Used for setting the position, height and span of the antenna. The approximate position of the antenna on the vessel must be set in order to correctly position the vessel outline when viewing close range settings. The PPI will be centered on the icon representing the position of the antenna. The antenna height is the height of the antenna above the water line, when vessel is carrying a typical load. It is very important to set the antenna height correctly as this will affect the sea clutter function. The antenna span is the total length of the antenna. Radar | NSSevo3S Operator Manual 73 9 AIS About AIS If a compatible AIS (Automatic Identification System) is connected to the system, AIS targets can be displayed and tracked. You can also see messages and position for DSC transmitting devices within range. AIS targets can be displayed as overlay on chart and radar images. The AIS is an important tool for safe travelling and collision avoidance. You can set alarms to notify you if an AIS target gets too close or if the target is lost. AIS vessels on a chart panel AIS vessels on a radar panel Selecting an AIS target When you select an AIS icon, the symbol changes to selected target symbol. Only one target can be selected at a time. Ú Note: Pop-up information must be enabled to see the vessel's name. Refer to "Chart settings" on page 39. Searching for AIS vessels You can search for AIS targets by using the find option in the menu. If the cursor is active, the system searches for vessels around the cursor position. Without an active cursor, the system searches for vessels around your vessel's position. Displaying target information The vessels dialog The vessels dialog displays a list of all targets. By default, the dialog lists targets, arranged by distance to own vessel. You can select to change the sort order, and to display only a selected target type. The vessels dialog also lists received AIS messages. AIS vessel details Detailed information about an AIS target is available from the AIS vessels details dialog. To display the dialog: · select the AIS pop-up · select the info option in the menu 74 AIS | NSSevo3S Operator Manual AIS information on radar panels The radar data bar includes information about targets. The targets are listed with the closest target on top, and are color coded to indicate target status. Calling an AIS vessel If the system includes a VHF radio supporting DSC (Digital Select Calling) calls over NMEA 2000® or NMEA 0183®, a DSC call can be initiated to other vessels from the unit. The call option is available in the AIS vessel details dialog, and in the vessel status dialog. Refer to "Displaying target information" on page 74. DSC Vessel tracking DSC (Digital Selective Calling) is a semi-automated method of requesting or receiving position data from a vessel with a DSC VHF radio. For more information on how to use this, refer to your VHF radio manual. There are various types of DSC position messages, including distress calls. The type of message made determines information sent with the call, and how the radio and MFD respond to the incoming call. When a DSC message has been received, the MFD will display a DSC vessel icon on the chart panel and radar panel at the received coordinates. In addition, some radios will send COG and SOG with the position data. This allows for correct orientation of the icon. When receiving a distress message you will see an alarm box informing you that a message has been received. This can be read under the messages tab on the vessels dialog. Select the vessels button in the toolbar to display the vessels dialog. AIS SART When an AIS SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) is activated, it starts transmitting its position and identification data. This data is received by your AIS device. If your AIS receiver is not compliant with AIS SART, it interprets the received AIS SART data as a signal from a standard AIS transmitter. An icon is positioned on the chart, but this icon is an AIS vessel icon. If your AIS receiver is compliant with AIS SART, the following takes place when AIS SART data is received: · An AIS SART icon is located on the chart in the position received from the AIS SART. The AIS SART icon is red when in 'Active' state. It is green when in 'Test' state. · An alarm message is displayed. If you have enabled the siren, the alarm message is followed by an audible alarm. Ú Note: The icon is green if the received AIS SART data is a test and not an active message. AIS | NSSevo3S Operator Manual 75 AIS SART alarm message When data is received from an AIS SART, an alarm message is displayed. This message includes the AIS SART's unique MMSI number, and its position, distance, and bearing from your vessel. You have the following options: · Ignore the alarm - The alarm is muted and the message closed. The alarm does not reappear. Ú Note: If you ignore the alarm, the AIS SART icon remains visible on your chart, and the AIS SART remains in the vessels list. · Save the waypoint - The waypoint is saved to your waypoint list. This waypoint name is prefixed with MOB AIS SART - followed by the unique MMSI number of the SART. For example, MOB AIS SART - 12345678. · Activate the MOB function - The display switches to a zoomed chart panel, centered on the AIS SART position. - The system creates an active route to the AIS SART position. Ú Note: If the MOB function is already active, this will be terminated and replaced by the new route towards the AIS SART position. Ú Note: If the AIS stops receiving the AIS SART message, the AIS SART remains in the vessels list for 10 minutes after it receives the last signal. Vessel alarms You can define several alarms to alert you if a target shows up within predefined range limits, or if a previously identified target is lost. Ú Note: For the system to display dangerous target alert messages when dangerous targets are detected, the Dangerous vessel option must be enabled. Dangerous targets AIS targets are defined as dangerous targets in the Vessels and tracked targets dialog (TCPA/CPA settings), refer to "Vessels and tracked targets" on page 79. Dangerous target alerts When a vessel meets the dangerous target criteria set in the Vessels and tracked targets dialog (TCPA/CPA settings) and if the Dangerous target alert option in the Alarms settings dialog is enabled, a dangerous target alert message dialog is displayed. The following options are available in the message dialog: 76 AIS | NSSevo3S Operator Manual · Disable, closes the message dialog and cancels the dangerous target alert for all vessels. You can re-enable the dangerous vessel alert in the Vessels section of the Alarms settings dialog. Ú Note: When Disable is selected, the Dangerous target alert option in the Alarms settings dialog is turned off. When the Dangerous target alert option is turned off (disabled), dangerous target alert messages are not generated for either radar or AIS dangerous targets. · Ignore, closes the message dialog and disables the alert for that vessel. The alert for that vessel will reappear if the status of that vessel changes, i.e. that vessel becomes safe and then dangerous again. · View, closes the message dialog and opens the chart panel with the dangerous vessel's pop-up activated. You can select the vessel's pop-up in the chart panel to see the AIS vessel details.

The red color is shown when the radar palette is black/yellow. AIS SART 'active' icons are red. AIS SART 'tests' icons are green. Vessel settings MMSI Used for entering your own MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) number into the system. You need to have this number entered to receive addressed messages from AIS and DSC vessels. You also need to have your MMSI number entered to avoid seeing your own vessel as an AIS target. 78 AIS | NSSevo3S Operator Manual Extension lines Defines the length of course over ground and heading extension lines for your own vessel and for other vessels. The length of the extension lines is set to indicate the distance the vessel will move in the selected time period. Your own vessel heading information is read from the active heading sensor, and COG information is received from the active GPS. For other vessels COG data is included in the message received from the AIS system. Vessels and tracked targets This dialog contains settings for both AIS and radar targets. Radar specific settings are only available if you have a capable radar connected to your system. Ú Note: For radar specific settings, refer to "Vessels and tracked targets" on page 73. By default, all targets are shown on the panel if an AIS device is connected to the system. You can select not to show any targets, or to filter the icons based on security settings, distance, and vessel speed using this option. Use this option to specify: · Dangerous targets - Time to closest point of approach - specify the time of approach in which a vessel is to be considered dangerous. - Closest point of approach - specify the closest point of approach in which a vessel is to be considered dangerous. · Targets of interest - targets further away than the following distance will be hidden: - Range of interest - options are Auto (based on radar range if radar is available) or within a specific distance of own vessel. · Filtering - define which and how many AIS targets will be shown. If the amount of targets exceeds the set number, only the most interesting targets will be shown. For radars that support target tracking, the following target filter settings will also apply to tracked targets. Filter options are: - Show - all targets, dangerous targets, or no targets. - Max AIS targets - show all or only a maximum number of AIS targets. - Hide slower targets - show targets slower than a specific speed or all targets regardless of speed. - Hide lost targets - hide lost targets that are lost for the specified amount of time. Speed and course The extension line can be used to indicate speed and course for targets, either as absolute (true) motion or relative to your vessel. AIS icon orientation Sets the orientation of the AIS icon, either based on heading or COG information. History length Trails can be used to visualize the previous positions of a target. The history length defines the time presentation of the trail. AIS | NSSevo3S Operator Manual 79 10 Echosounder About The echosounder function provides a view of the water and bottom beneath your vessel, allowing you to detect fish and examine the structure of the sea floor.

If you are not signed in, select the transfers icon and follow the prompts to sign in and transfer the log files to CMAP Genesis. You can sign in and transfer files at a later time when the unit is connected to the internet. Customizing the image Use the menu to customize the image. When the cursor is active, some options in the menu are replaced with cursor mode features. Select the clear cursor option to return to the normal menu. Range The range setting determines the water depth that is visible on the screen. Ú Note: Setting a deep range in shallow water may cause the system to lose track of the depth. Preset range levels Select a preset range level manually from the menu. Auto range In auto range, the system automatically displays the whole range from the water surface to the bottom. Auto is the preferred setting for fish finding. Select the range option and then the auto option in the menu. Frequency The unit supports several transducer frequencies. Available frequencies depend on the transducer model that is configured for use. · A low frequency, for example 50 kHz, will go deep. It generates a wide cone but is more sensitive to noise. It is good for bottom discrimination and wide area search. · A high frequency, for example 200 kHz, offers higher discrimination and is less sensitive to noise. It is good for separating targets and for higher speed vessels. 82 Echosounder | NSSevo3S Operator Manual Gain The gain controls the sensitivity. The more you increase the gain, the more details are shown on the image. However, a higher gain setting may introduce more background clutter. If the gain is set too low, weak echoes might not be displayed. A manual and an automatic gain mode are available. By default, the gain is set to Auto. Color Strong and weak echo signals have different colors to indicate the different signal strengths. The colors used depend on which palette you select. The more you increase the color setting, the more echoes are displayed in the color at the strong return end of the scale. Source Ú Note: Available only if multiple sources with the same capability are available. Used to specify the source for the image in the active panel. You can display different sources simultaneously, using a multi-panel page configuration. Menu options for each panel are independent.

This makes it easier to visualize the underwater environment in relation to your position, and aids in interpreting SideScan images. The StructureMap image StructureMap can be displayed as an overlay on your chart panel. When the Structure overlay is selected, the chart menu increases to show the Structure options. The example below is a two-panel page. It shows a chart with Structure overlay on the leftside panel and a traditional SideScan image on the right-side panel. StructureMap sources Two sources can be used to overlay Structure logs on the charts, but only one can be viewed at a time: · Live data - Used when SideScan data is available · Saved files - recorded SideScan data that are converted to StructureMap (*.smf) format Live data When live data is selected, the SideScan imaging history is displayed as a trail behind the vessel icon. The length of this trail varies depending on available memory in the unit and range settings. As the memory fills up, the oldest data is automatically deleted as new data is added. When increasing the search range, the ping speed of the SideScan transducer is reduced, but the width and the length of the image history is increased. Ú Note: Live mode does not save any data. If the unit is turned off, all recent data is lost. Saved files Saved mode is used to review and examine StructureMap files, and to position the vessel on specific points of interest on a previous scanned area. Saved files can be used as source if no SideScan sources are available. With this mode selected, the StructureMap file is overlaid on the map based on position information in the file. If the chart scale is large, the StructureMap area is indicated with a boundary box until the scale is large enough to show Structure details. Ú Note: When saved files are used as the source, all StructureMap files found on the storage device and in the system's internal memory are displayed. If there is more than one StructureMap of the same area, the images overlap and clutter the chart. If several logs of the same area are required, the maps should be put on separate storage devices. StructureMap| NSSevo3S Operator Manual 101 102 StructureMap tips · To get a picture of taller structures (a wreck, etc.) -- do not drive over it, instead, steer the boat so the structure is on the left or right side of your vessel. · Do not overlap history trails when conducting a side-by-side scan of an area. Using StructureMap with mapping cards StructureMap allows you to maintain full chart capability and can be used with preloaded cartography as well as C-MAP, Navionics®, and other third-party charting cards compatible with the system. When using StructureMap with mapping cards, copy the StructureMap (.smf) files to the unit's internal memory. We recommend keeping copies of StructureMap files on external mapping cards. Structure options You adjust the StructureMap settings from the Structure options menu. The menu is available when Structure overlay is enabled. Not all options are available when saved StructureMap files are used as the source. Unavailable options are greyed. Range Sets the search range. Transparency Sets the opaqueness of the Structure overlay. With minimum transparency settings, the chart details are almost hidden by the StructureMap overlay.

ForwardScan| NSSevo3S Operator Manual 105 Transducer angle It is recommended the transducer is installed vertical to the waterline. In cases where that is not possible, the transducer angle setting helps offset the difference between the transducer angle and the waterline. If the transducer is angled toward the front of the vessel, a positive value (0 to +15°) is entered in the Transducer angle dialog. If the transducer is angled toward the rear of the vessel, a negative value (0 to -15°) is entered in the Transducer angle dialog. Warning: Adjustments to the angle value should be done with caution. Large variations in the angle value can distort depth data, increasing the risk of striking underwater obstructions. Depth offset All transducers measure water depth from the transducer to the bottom. As a result, water depth readings do not account for the distance from the transducer to the lowest point of the boat in the water or from the transducer to the water surface. B A · To show the depth from the lowest point of the vessel to the bottom, set the offset equal to the vertical distance between the transducer and the lowest part of the vessel, A (negative value). · To show the depth from the water surface to the bottom, set the offset equal to the vertical distance between the transducer and the water surface, B (positive value) · For depth below transducer, set the offset to 0. 106 ForwardScan| NSSevo3S Operator Manual 16 ActiveTarget About ActiveTarget This feature is available if an ActiveTarget transducer and its sonar module are connected to the Ethernet network.

To disengage the autopilot: · Select the standby button When the autopilot is in standby, the boat must be steered manually. Autopilot indication The status bar shows autopilot information as long as an autopilot computer is connected. Autopilot modes The autopilot has several steering modes. The number of modes and features within the mode depend on the autopilot computer, the boat type and available inputs. Non-Follow Up mode (NFU) In this mode the port and starboard buttons are used to control the rudder. Activate this mode by selecting the port or starboard button when the autopilot is in standby. Follow-Up mode (FU) In this mode the rudder moves to a set rudder angle. The rudder position is maintained at the set angle. To change the set rudder angle · Select the port or starboard button · With the autopilot controller active, turn the rotary knob Autopilot| NSSevo3S Operator Manual 115 Heading hold mode (A) In this mode the autopilot steers the vessel on the set heading. When the mode is activated, the autopilot selects the current compass heading as the set heading. Ú Note: In this mode the autopilot does not compensate for any drifting caused by current and/or wind (W). W To change the set heading · Select a port or starboard button · With the autopilot controller active, turn the rotary knob An immediate heading change takes place. The heading is maintained until a new heading is set. Tacking in Heading hold mode Ú Note: Only available when the boat type is set to sail (autopilot configuration). Ú Note: Tacking should only be performed into the wind and must be tried out in calm sea conditions with light wind to find out how it works on your vessel. Tacking in heading hold mode changes the heading by a fixed tack angle, either to port or starboard. The rate of turn during the tack/gybe is set by the tack time in the autopilot settings dialog. Refer to "Autopilot settings" on page 121. To initiate a tack: · Selecting the tack button in the mode list, then selecting the tack direction. NoDrift mode In NoDrift mode the vessel is steered along a calculated track line, from present position and in a direction set by the user. When the mode is activated, the autopilot will draw an invisible track line based on current heading from the vessel's position. The autopilot will now use the position information to calculate the cross track distance, and automatically steer along the calculated track. W Ú Note: If the vessel is drifting away from the track line due to current and/or wind (W), the vessel will follow the line with a crab angle. To change the set track line · Select a port or starboard button · With the autopilot controller active, turn the rotary knob NAV mode Warning: NAV mode should only be used in open waters. Navigation mode must not be used while sailing, as course changes may result in unexpected tacks or gybes. Prior to entering NAV mode you must be navigating a route or towards a waypoint. In NAV mode the autopilot automatically steers the vessel to a specific waypoint location, or along a pre-defined route. Position information is used to change the course to steer to keep the vessel on the track line to the destination waypoint. Ú Note: For information about navigation, refer to "Navigating" on page 47. 116 Autopilot| NSSevo3S Operator Manual NAV mode options While in NAV mode the following buttons are available in the autopilot controller: Restart Restarts the navigation from the vessel's current position. Skip Skips the active waypoint and steers towards the next waypoint. This option is only available when navigating a route with more than one waypoint between the vessel position and the end of the route. Cancel Cancels active navigation and deselects the current route or waypoint navigation. The autopilot is switched to heading hold mode, steering the vessel on the heading that was active when the cancel button was selected. Ú Note: This is different from selecting standby which does not stop current navigation. Turning in NAV mode When the vessel reaches a waypoint, the autopilot will display a dialog with the new course information. There is a limit for the allowed automatic course change to next waypoint in a route: · If the required course change to the next waypoint is less than the course change limit, the autopilot will automatically change the course · If the required course change to next waypoint is more than the set limit, you are prompted to verify that the upcoming course change is acceptable. If the turn is not accepted, the vessel will continue with the current set heading. The course change limit setting depends on the autopilot computer. Refer to the autopilot computer documentation. Wind mode Ú Note: Wind mode is only available when the boat type is set to Sail. It is not possible to activate wind mode if wind information is missing. In wind mode the autopilot captures the current wind angle as steering reference, and adjusts the heading of the boat to maintain this wind angle. The autopilot will keep the boat on the set wind angle until a new wind angle is set. Warning: In wind mode the autopilot steers to the apparent or true wind angle and not to a compass heading. Any wind shift could result in the vessel steering on an undesired course. To change the set wind reference angle · Select a port or starboard button · With the autopilot controller active, turn the rotary knob An immediate change of wind reference angle takes place. Tacking and gybing in wind mode The tack/gybe option in wind mode mirrors the set wind angle on the opposite tack. Tacking and gybing in wind mode can be performed when sailing with apparent or true wind as the reference. In either case the true wind angle must be less than 90° (tacking) and more than 120° (gybing). The rate of turn during the tack/gybe is set by the tack time in the autopilot settings dialog. Refer to "Autopilot settings" on page 121. To initiate a tack or gybe: Autopilot| NSSevo3S Operator Manual 117 118 · Select the Tack/Gybe option in the mode list Turn patterns The system includes a number of turn patterns. Turn patterns are available when the autopilot is in auto mode. The number of turn patterns depend on autopilot computer. Ú Note: Turn patterns are not available if the boat type is set to sail. To start a turn Select the port or starboard options in the turn dialog. Turn variables All turn patterns, except the U-turn, have settings that you can adjust before you start a turn, or at any time when the boat is in a turn. U-turn Changes the current set heading by 180°. When activated, the autopilot is switched to Auto mode. The turn rate is identical to Turn rate setting. C-turn Steers the vessel in a circle. Turn variable: · Rate of turn. Increasing the value makes the vessel turn a smaller circle. Spiral Makes the vessel turn in a spiral with a decreasing or increasing radius. Turn variables: · Initial radius · Change/turn. If this value is set to zero, the boat will turn in a circle. Negative values indicate decreasing radius while positive values indicate increasing radius Zigzag Steers the vessel in a zigzag pattern. Turn variables: · Course change · Leg distance Square Steers the vessel in a square pattern, doing 90° course changes. Turn variable: · Leg distance S-turn Makes the vessel yaw around the main heading. When activated, the autopilot is switched to S-turns mode. Turn variables: · Course change · Turn radius The main course can be changed during the turn by turning the rotary knob. Depth contour tracking Makes the autopilot follow a depth contour. Autopilot| NSSevo3S Operator Manual Ú Note: DCT turn pattern is only available if the system has a valid depth input. Warning: Do not use the DCT turn pattern unless the seabed is suitable. Do not use it in rocky waters where the depth is varying significantly over a small area. Ú Note: If depth data is lost during DCT the autopilot will automatically switch to auto mode. It is recommended to turn on the AP Depth Data Missing alarm when using DCT. When this alarm is activated an alarm will be raised if the depth data is lost during DCT. To initiate a DCT turn · Steer the boat to the depth you want to track, and in the direction of the depth contour · Activate auto mode, then select depth contour tracking while monitoring the depth reading · Select the port or starboard button to initiate the depth contour steering to follow the bottom sloping to starboard or to port Port option (depth decreases to port) Starboard option (depth decreases to starboard) Turn variables · Ref. depth: this is the reference depth for the DCT function. When DCT is initiated the autopilot reads the current depth and set this as the reference depth. The reference depth can be changed when the function is running · Depth gain: this parameter determines the ratio between commanded rudder and the deviation from the selected depth contour. The higher depth gain value the more rudder is applied. If the value is too small it will take a long time to compensate for drifting off the set depth contour, and the autopilot will fail to keep the boat on the selected depth. If the value is set too high the overshoot will increase and the steering will be unstable. · CCA: the CCA is an angle that is added to or subtracted from the set course. With this parameter you can make the boat yaw around the reference depth with s movements. The larger the CCA the bigger yawing will be allowed. If the CCA is set to zero there is no S-ing. Operating a professional autopilot system If the MFD system is connected to a professional autopilot system, the MFD can be used to operate the autopilot.

Steering These options allow for manually changing low speed and high speed parameters that were set during the commissioning of the autopilot computer. For more details, refer to the separate documentation for the autopilot computer. Selecting the low speed option or the high speed option opens dialogs the following parameters can be changed. · Turn rate: Preferred turn rate used while turning in degrees per minute. · Rudder gain: This parameter determines the ratio between commanded rudder and the heading error. The higher rudder value the more rudder is applied. If the value is too small it will take a long time to compensate for a heading error, and the autopilot will fail to keep a steady course. If the value is set too high the overshoot will increase and the steering will be unstable. · Counter rudder: Relation between change in heading error and applied rudder. Higher counter rudder will reduce applied rudder faster when approaching the set heading. · Auto trim: Controls how aggressively the autopilot will apply rudder to compensate for a constant heading offset, e.g. when external forces such as wind or current affects the heading. Lower auto trim will give faster, limitation of a constant heading offset. Ú Note: In VRF mode this parameter controls the time constant of the rudder estimate. A lower value makes the rudder estimate faster, i.e. that it will more quickly catch up with the boat's movements. · Init rudder: Defines how the system moves the rudder when switching from manual steering to an automatic mode. - Rudder limit: Determines the maximum rudder movement in degrees from midship position that the autopilot can command the rudder in the automatic modes. The Autopilot| NSSevo3S Operator Manual Rudder limit setting is only active during autosteering on straight courses, not during course changes.
