10、 Navigation.44 See Page 2 for an explanation of this symbol Page 1 Congratulations on purchasing this ICS NAV6 product. It is not only an excellent NAVTEX receiver, but a first class instrument repeater. It may be the only display you will ever need at your navigation position. We hope that it gives

11、 you many years of reliable service. Please take the time to read this manual carefully as it contains some essential information regarding the operation and maintenance of the product and a useful background to the NAVTEX system. We recommend that you regularly visit the McMurdo product website www

12、.mcmurdo.co.uk for information on updates, the availability of software enhancements, further options and support. The support pages contain frequently asked questions about the ICS NAV6 that you may find useful. There is also a NAVTEX database providing a list of operational NAVTEX stations and the

13、ir details. . Page 2 USER GUIDE This user guide describes the operation of the ICS NAV6plus, ICS NAV6Aplus, ICS NAV6dual and ICS NAV6repeater equipments. Not all the menu features described are provided by the ICS NAV6dual. Where this is the case, the symbol is used to mark the feature. The ICS NAV6

14、repeater will display NAVTEX menu pages only when incorporated with a ICS NAV6 system or ICS NAV6 sensor. Installation instructions are provided in the separate NAV6 range Installation Guide. Further installation information is furnished separately with each ICS NAV6 ancillary instrument. It is reco

15、mmended that installation be carried out be a recognised marine installation engineer. QUICK START You will find the NAV6 extremely easy to operate. Please dont be intimidated by the comprehensive nature of this manual. In reality, receiving your first NAVTEX messages could not be simpler. Follow th

16、e installation guidelines Re-check the cable connection The ICS NAV6 system has no ON/OFF switch, it will start up as soon as power is applied. If you have not connected a GPS navigation receiver, make sure that you set the date and time on the screen which will appear at start up. Wait for your fir

17、st NAVTEX message. If you are within range of a NAVTEX transmitter, you should not need to wait for more than four hours. Refer to “Appendix VII: ICS NAV6 Menu Navigation” for an overview of the available operating modes several button presses will return you to the start of the cycle. As the button

18、 is pressed, the softkey labels change to show the current functions of the keys. navigation pad FUNCTION PAGE VIEW MODE The Keypad softkeys Page 6 The Display At the bottom of the display is the softkey menu area: The softkey menu area shows what each softkey does in the current operating mode. The

19、 top line of each softkey menu box indicates the option that is currently selected. The bottom line of each softkey menu box indicates the current function of that softkey. The example above shows the ICS NAV6 in NAVTEX Mode; the right softkey selects the mode, and current mode is Navtex. At the top

20、 of the display is a status bar: The status information is displayed as a series of icons. The meaning of the icons is as follows: Message identifier for the top message An alarm is active NMEA / GPS position data available 490 kHz reception available 518 kHz reception available Receiving message no

Each of the message types can be selected as either On, Off or New Use the UP and DOWN keys to s

22、elect the message type setting that you wish to edit. Use the LEFT and RIGHT keys to change the setting. Set each message type filter to one of the following: Setting Notes On Message type always displayed Off Message type never displayed New Message type only displayed when new. Messages marked as

23、read will not appear. Stations The picture shows the 518 Stations filter page; the 490 Stations filter page is similar. Use the UP and DOWN keys to select the station filter setting that you wish to edit. Use the LEFT and RIGHT keys to change the setting. The Auto Station Filter setting can be eithe

24、r Nearest or In Range. This setting is active only when you have a GPS receiver connected to the NMEA input and it applies only to stations set to Auto. To display messages from the nearest station to your current position, set the auto station filter to Nearest. To display messages from all station

25、s in range of your current position, set the auto station filter to In Range. An asterisk appears next to all stations for which messages will be displayed. Page 16 Set the filter for each station to one of the following: Setting Notes On Messages from station always displayed Off Messages from stat

26、ion never displayed Auto Messages from station displayed only when nearest or in range depending upon Auto Station Filter setting. Important: You may wish to leave your ICS NAV6 running whilst your GPS or instrument system is switched off. Be aware that the Navigate data items derived from NMEA (inc

27、luding position) will time out after a short while. If you have chosen to display only the nearest NAVTEX station or stations in range it will revert to displaying all stations that are set to Auto. As soon as the NMEA data becomes available again only the Nearest or In Range stations will be displa

28、yed dependant upon your current settings. Page 17 NAVIGATE MODE Navigate Mode is only available if there is a GPS or other source of NMEA 0183 data connected to the ICS NAV6 NMEA input. The GPS icon in the status bar at the top of the display will be illuminated only if there is position data availa

29、ble on the NMEA input. There are five fixed-format Navigate data display views and four user configurable views. These can be selected from within the Navigate Mode using the VIEW softkey. The five fixed views are: Position View Combined View Waypoint View Conning View Log View The User Configurable

30、 Views are User Views 1,2,3 and 4. (Tip: Disable views that are not required, in Setup ModeNavigate Options Page and Setup ModeNavigateUser View Page. Display units can be changed in the Navigate Options page). Note: Data fields that are not available on the NMEA input are indicated by a series of d

31、ashes (e.g. -.-). Important The correct magnetic variation must be input at the navigation instruments (e.g. GPS, electronic compass) for the accurate display of COG, set, waypoint bearing and heading. For the purposes of testing your installation, you may wish to use your GPSs simulator mode to gen

32、erate data for the ICS NAV6. Please check your GPS User Manual to find out whether it transmits valid NMEA data whilst it is in its simulator mode many GPSs do not set the data valid flag in the NMEA sentences during simulation. As a safety feature, the ICS NAV6 will ignore any NMEA sentences where

33、the data valid flag is not set. The ICS NAV6 has a built in NMEA simulator mode please ensure that it is switched OFF in normal operation. Page 18 Position View The Position View shows GPS information (Position, COG and SOG), Depth reading and Distance log using a large font. The UP, DOWN, LEFT and

34、RIGHT keys have no function. Combined View The Combined View shows all NMEA input data on one screen using a small font. The UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT keys have no function. Page 19 Waypoint View The Waypoint View shows waypoint navigation information and a graphical “rolling road” display of the boa

35、t position and course relative to the course line. The rolling road display can be used to steer the boat along the course line whilst keeping the cross track error within chosen limits (the XTE limit may be changed on the Setup modeNavigate ViewOptions Page ). The Waypoint View shows the waypoint n

36、ame, waypoint position, time to go (TTG in hours, minutes and seconds), range and bearing to waypoint, closing speed to way point, cross track error and COG and SOG. The UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT keys have no function. Conning View The Conning Display is a unique analogue display which shows overlapp

37、ing vectors for Heading (course through the water), Course Over the Ground (COG), Set (a combination of leeway and tide) and wind. All these vectors are displayed relative to the current heading, which is displayed in digital form at the top of the screen. Heading is shown as a single headed arrow.

38、Course Over the Ground (COG) is shown as a double headed arrow. Set is shown as a triple headed arrow - in the familiar manner. The wind vector displays variable tail patterns according to the strength of the wind. It follows the usual meteorological wind symbol rules: 5kts per half feather, 10kts per full feather, 50kts per triangle. Computed Set and Drift and other related parameters are shown in d
