1: INTRODUCTION 1 Introduction English Thank you for choosing the Star NAV Repeater which will display all necessary data from your NMEA navigator. Power and NMEA data are connected on the reverse side of the instrument. The colour coded 4-pole jack plug makes the installation easy. 1.1 Part specification Star SEA Data is delivered with all mounting material. Make sure all these parts are in the package.
2: INSTALLATION 2 Installation • The installation includes 6 major steps: 1. Read the installation and operation manual. 2. Plan where to install the transducer and instrument. 3. Install the transducer, then the instrument. 4. Run the cables. 5. Take a break and admire your installation. 6. Learn the functions and calibrate your instrument. • 3 English Before you begin drilling... think about how you can make the installation as neat and simple as your boat will allow.
2: INSTALLATION English 2.1 Installing the instrument • Place the adhesive drill template on the desired location for the instrument. 7 1 Drill the four screw holes using a 2.8 mm ( /64”) drill for wood or 3.2 mm ( /8”) 1 for fibre glass. Use a 52 mm (2 /16”) hole saw to machine the clearance hole for the instrument connection socket. Note! Never drill through the instrument’s four mounting holes as the gasket may be damaged and thus cause leakage.
3: FUNCTIONS 3 English Function overview The display is divided in two function groups: Position and Navigation. To change between them, press MODE. To scroll in function list, press UP or DOWN. 3.1 How to use the push buttons Mode / Light button This button is used to change between Position mode and Navigation mode. One short press changes between the two modes. To select light levels, press mode for more than two seconds.
3: FUNCTIONS 3.2 English Position The position is displayed in latitude and longitude to three decimal places. If the NMEA Navigator just sends two decimals, the third will always read zero. 3.2.1 Time and date To display date and time, press DOWN. Date and time is displayed in month, day, hour, minute and second. Some NMEA navigators does not send date. In that case, the text TIME is written instead of the date. To set the local time zone, press KEY.
3: FUNCTIONS 3.3 Navigation functions English To change to combi steer, press MODE. The combi steer window provides you with information of five values at a time. The arrow at the top helps you to keep on track. This function is explained in section 3.3.7. The functions displayed are speed over ground, course over ground, distance to Waypoint and course to Waypoint. If no Waypoint is selected to navigate towards in the NMEA navigator, the bottom row will display dashes. 3.3.
3: FUNCTIONS 3.3.4 English Select Waypoint In the navigation mode you can at any time set a Waypoint to go to. The NAV Repeater will then compute the distance and bearing to Waypoint and all other functions.The Waypoint is selected by pressing the KEY in any navigation mode. When the KEY is pressed the NMEA Waypoint number is displayed. To enter your Waypoint, press UP or DOWN, the text Lat/Lon is displayed. Press KEY and the present position is displyed, edit the latitudecoordinate for your Waypoint.
3: FUNCTIONS 3.3.7 English Top arrows At the top of the display there are four arrows and four text signs. The arrows tell you if you are on the ”road” or not and the text displays the status of your NMEA navigator .
5: CALIBRATION English The following NMEA sentences are red for displaying different data. The sentences are in priority order (i.e. if the NMEA navigater is sending more than one sentence, the information in the first sentence is displayed.) Position: Date and time: Speed Over Ground: Course Over Ground: Bearing To Waypoint: Distance To Waypoint: Time To Go: 5 1. GGA, 2. RMC, 3. RMA, 4.GLL 1. ZDA, 2.RMC, 3.GGA, 4.GLL, 5. BWC, 6.BWR 1. RMC, 2. RMA, 3. VTG 1. RMC, 2. RMA, 3. VTG 1. BWC, 2. RMB, 3. BWR 1.
5: CALIBRATION English 5.2 Unit for distance The unit for distance can be selected as nautical miles (NM), kilometres (KM) or miles (MI). 5.3 Unit for speed The unit for speed can be selected as knots (KTS), kilometres/hour (KMH) or miles/hour (MPH). 5.4 Seconds ON/OFF Select the position to be displayed in seconds or hundreths of minutes. If seconds is set to OFF, hundreths of minutes is displayed. 5.5 Magnetic bearing ON/OFF Select the bearing to display magnetic or true bearing.
5: CALIBRATION English 5.7 Circle alarm The Star NAV Repeater has a built in arrival alarm. When the boat is closer to the Waypoint than the setting in this calibration mode, the alarm is activated. You can select the radius of the circle. To turn off the alarm, set the value to zero. Note! Circle alarm limit is always in nautical miles. 5.8 Cross track error alarm The Star NAV Repeater has a built in cross track error (XTE) alarm.
6: FAULTFINDING 6 English Fault finding The instrument has three fault messages. No INPUT, NO DATA and UNKNOWN dATA. Screen Blank Cause Action No power supply 1. Check fuse. 2. Check connections. No input No signals are registrated by the NAV Repeater 1. Check connections 2. Check if your NMEA navigator is sending data. No data Signals are recived but non recognisable by the NAV Repeater. 1.Check connections 2.Change polarity of NMEA out A and B 3.
