vii
SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
All NavNet products incorporate a “network circuit board” to integrate each NavNet product
on board through an optional LAN cable (Ethernet 10BASE-T). Each NavNet product is
assigned an IP address to enable transfer of images between other NavNet products. For
example, video plotter pictures can be transferred to a radar and vice versa. Pictures
received via the NavNet may be adjusted at the receiving end.
The number of display units which may be installed depends on the number of network
sounder connected. For a system incorporating three or more products, a “hub” is required
to process data.
For one network sounder: one radar and three plotters, or four plotters
For two network sounder: one radar and two plotters, or four plotters

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
For start up with the radar display, the magnetron takes from one minute and thirty
seconds to three minutes (depending on radar model) to warm up before the radar can be
operated. The time remaining for warming up of the magnetron is counted down at the
center of the display.
You may press any key at the chart disclaimer screen to show the last-used display, or wait
several seconds to let the equipment do it for you.
To turn the unit off, press and hold down the POWER/BRILL key until the screen goes off
(approx. 3 sec.). To protect the LCD attach the hard cover. Note that the network sounder
will be turned off approx. three minutes after turning off the power. This is due to the
system’s electrical characteristics.
Note: The first time you turn on the power (or any time the power is applied after a memory
reset), you are asked if you want to start the simulation mode, which provides simulated
operation of the equipment after the installation mode selection. Push the ENTER knob to
start the simulation mode, or press the CLEAR key to start normal operation. For further
details about the simulation mode, see the paragraph “1.10 Simulation Display.”

4. Choose MAN.
5. Adjust the ENTER knob until the tuning bar is at its longest position.
6. Press the MENU key to close the menu.
Note: If the auto setting does not provide satisfactory tuning, ask your dealer how to
re-adjust tuning.
The proper setting is such that the background noise is just visible on the screen. If your
gain setting is too low, weak echoes may be missed. On the other hand, excessive gain
yields too much background noise; strong targets may be missed because of the poor
contrast between desired echoes and the background noise on the display.
To adjust the receiver sensitivity, transmit on long range, and then do the following:

2. RADAR OPERATION
Adjusting the FTC (When the radar source is the 17x4 series radar)
To suppress rain clutter from heavy storms or scattered rain clutter, adjust the FTC.
In addition to reducing clutter, the FTC can be used in fine weather to clarify the picture
when navigating in confined waters. However, with the circuit active the receiver is less
sensitive. Therefore, turn off the FTC, by setting it for “0”, when its function is not required.
The A/C SEA reduces the amplification of echoes at short ranges (where clutter is the
greatest) and progressively increases amplification as the range increases, so amplification
will be normal at those ranges where there is no sea clutter.

2. RADAR OPERATION
To distinguish real target echoes from sea clutter, echo average performs scan-to-scan
correlation. Correlation is made by storing and averaging echo signals over successive
picture frames. If an echo is solid and stable, it is presented in its normal intensity. Sea
clutter is averaged over successive scans resulting in the reduced brilliance, making it
easier to discriminate real targets from sea clutter.
To properly use the echo average function, it is recommended to first suppress sea clutter
with the A/C SEA control and then do the following:
1. If not displayed, press the HIDE/SHOW key to display the radar soft keys.

3.8 Waypoints
In navigation terminology, a waypoint is a particular location on a voyage whether it be a
starting, intermediate or destination point. A waypoint is the simplest piece of information
your equipment requires to get you to a destination, in the shortest distance possible.
This unit has 999 waypoints into which you can enter position information. You may enter a
waypoint five ways: at own ship position, at MOB position (see page 1-13 for details), by
cursor, by range and bearing, and through the waypoint list (manual input of latitude and
longitude).

3.9 Routes
Often a trip from one place to another involves several course changes, requiring a series
of route points (waypoints) which you navigate to, one after another. The sequence of
waypoints leading to the ultimate destination is called a route. Your unit can automatically
advance to the next waypoint on a route, so you do not have to change the destination
waypoint repeatedly.
You can store up to 200 routes, and a route may have 35 waypoints.

PERPENDICULAR: Automatically switches the destination waypoint when the boat comes
passes an imaginary perpendicular line passing through the center of the destination
waypoint or the boat comes within the arrival alarm range.
ARRVL ALM CRCL: Destination waypoint is automatically switched when the boat comes
within the arrival alarm range. For how to set the arrival alarm, see the paragraph 3.11.2
Arrival alarm.
MANUAL: The destination waypoint may be manually switched by using the RESTART soft

Dual-frequency display
The dual-frequency display provides both
LF and HF pictures. This display is useful
for comparing the same picture with two
different sounding frequencies.
LF picture
The sounder uses ultrasonic pulses to LF HF
detect bottom conditions. The lower the
frequency of the pulse, the wider the Dual-frequency display
detection area. Therefore, the low
frequency is useful for general detection and judging bottom condition.

4. VIDEO SOUNDER OPERATION
HF picture
The higher the frequency of the ultrasonic pulse the better the resolution. Therefore, the
high frequency is ideal for detailed observation of fish school.

In a comparatively shallow depth, a high gain setting will cause a second or sometimes a
third or a fourth echo to be displayed at the same interval between them below the first
echo trace. This is because the echo travels between the bottom and the surface twice or
more in shallow depths.
The color of the bottom echo can be used to help determine the density of the bottom
materials (soft or hard). The harder the bottom, the wider the trace. If the gain is set to show
only a single bottom echo on mud, a rocky bottom will show a second or third bottom return.
The range should be chosen so the first and second bottom echoes are displayed when
bottom hardness is being determined.

TVG TVG (Time Varied Gain) compensates 0-9
(HF,LF) for propagation attenuation of the
ultrasonic waves. It does this by
equalizing echo presentation so that
fish schools of the same size appear in
the same density in both shallow and
deep waters. In addition, it reduces
surface noise. Note that if the TVG
level is set too high short range
echoes may not be displayed.
Echo Offset If the on-screen echo level appears to -50 - +50
(HF, LF) be too weak or too strong and the
level cannot be adjusted satisfactorily
with the gain control, adjust echo
offset to compensate for too weak or
too strong echoes.
Bottom Level If the depth indication is unstable in -100 - +100
(HF, LF) automatic operation or the bottom
echo cannot be displayed in
reddish-brown by adjusting the gain
control in manual operation, you may
adjust the bottom echo level detection
circuit, for both HF and LF, to stabilize
the indication. Note that if the level is
set too low weak echoes may be
missed and if set too high the depth
indication will not be displayed.
