81221_5.book Page 44 Thursday, October 11, 2007 12:47 PM 44 C-Series Display Reference Manual Chart cards To use your C-Series Display as a navigation aid, charts with the appropriate level of detail for the geographic area you wish to navigate are required. The charts are available in electronic format on Navionics Chart cards. Details of these cards and how to obtain them is given on page iii. When archiving data, Raymarine recommends that you only use SanDisk brand CF memory cards.

When motion mode is active, as your vessel moves, the chart is redrawn to keep the vessel on screen. When you zoom the chart in active mode, the chart zooms about your vessel position. Alternatively, you may be planning a journey and do not want the chart to redraw as your vessel moves.

If you select a chart scale that does not have cartographic detail in some areas, the chart will use the most detailed level available for the surrounding area and stretch it to fit the selected scale. This means that you will never have blank or hatched areas on your screen. However there may be some misalignment of objects which cross the chart boundary in this area.

It is used in conjunction with motion mode (see page 85) to control how your boat and chart relate to one another and how they are displayed on screen. The mode that you choose is restored at power up.
81221_5.book Page 85 Thursday, October 11, 2007 12:47 PM Chapter 4: Using the Chart 85 Setting the motion mode The motion mode controls the relationship between the chart and your boat. Whilst motion mode is active, as your boat moves, the chart is redrawn to keep the boat onscreen. The three motion modes are: • Relative motion. • True motion. • Autorange. When you pan the chart or toggle FIND SHIP/CURSOR to CURSOR, the motion mode is suspended.

Combine this mode with the zoom, bottom lock and A-scope functions to customize each fishfinder window to meet your particular requirements or fishing conditions.
81221_5.book Page 116 Thursday, October 11, 2007 12:47 PM 116 C-Series Display Reference Manual The gain, or sensitivity, of the display adjusts background noise by varying the echo strength for display. The value of the GAIN control determines the strength above which echoes are displayed. There are three AUTO GAIN modes: • Low is ideal for viewing fishfinder images with a minimum of background noise as you are cruising to your fishing spot. Only the strongest echoes are displayed.

81221_5.book Page 121 Thursday, October 11, 2007 12:47 PM Chapter 6: Using the Radar 121 Side lobes Side lobe patterns are produced by small amounts of energy from the transmitted pulses that are radiated outside the narrow main beam. The effects of side lobes are most noticeable with targets at short ranges (normally below 3 nm), and in particular with larger objects. Side lobe echoes form either arcs on the radar screen similar to range rings, or a series of echoes forming a broken arc.
81221_5.book Page 122 Thursday, October 11, 2007 12:47 PM 122 C-Series Display Reference Manual Multiple echoes Multiple echoes are not very common but can occur if there is a large target with a wide vertical surface at a comparatively short range. The transmitted signal will be reflected back and forth between the target and your own ship, resulting in multiple echoes, displayed beyond the range of the true target echo, but on the same bearing.

Returns from storm areas and rain squalls consist of countless small echoes that continuously change size, intensity and position. These returns sometimes appear as large hazy areas, depending on the intensity of the rainfall or snow in the storm cell.

A fast heading sensor is also needed for operation of MARPA and can maximize the performance of radar/chart overlay. With your radar scanner connected and the radar in transmit mode, the radar picture, provides a map-like representation of the area in which the radar is operating e.g.

Although the coastline may be much nearer, it may not appear on the radar until the vessel is closer to shore. • Some targets, such as buoys and small boats, can be difficult to discern, because they do not present a consistent reflecting surface as they bob and toss about in the waves. Consequently, these echoes tend to fade and brighten and at times, to disappear momentarily.

Adjusting the sea mode will reduce this clutter for up to 5 nautical miles (depending on wave and sea conditions) from your boat. This has the effect of reducing the sea echoes to intermittent small dots whilst small targets remain visible and persistent.
