Enter Call Sign: E.g: OEZ1234
Enter Ship Name: E.g MV INLAND SHIP
NOTE: The reference point is defined by the 4 lengths A, B, C and D.
A = the distance from bow to the antenna
B = the distance from the antenna to the stern
C = the distance from the port side to the antenna
D = the distance from the antenna to the starboard side
The following example should illustrate how the fields Len and Beam (always the complete convoy)
and the correct reference point should be used.
Example:
Length of ship (means the complete convoy) = 400m
Beam of ship (means the complete convoy)= 32m
Internal GPS-Antenna is mounted 20 meters from stern and 24 meters from starboard.
Length[dm] : 3999dm (approximated to Len (A+B)
Beam[dm] : 319dm (approximated to Beam(C+D)
RefPtExt: A: 380m
B: 20m
C: 12m
D: 20m
(must be the same as internal Reference point when no external GPS is connected)
RefPtInt: A: 380m
B: 20m
C: 12m
D: 20m
The full line as shown will be displayed after pressing Enter:
Ship length and beam have to be entered in dm. Conversion 1m is 10dm.
NOTE: The field Len[dm] and Beam[dm] are necessary for the lock. The values of Len (A+B) and
Beam (C+D) has to be the rounded up value from Len[dm] and Beam[dm] e.g.: 3999dm is 400m.
