GPS Antenna Mounting It is important to input the exact mounting position of the GPS Antenna on the vessel as this influences the accuracy of the displayed target in an ECDIS.

(RefPntExt:) = The position of any external positioning device (GPS Antenna) used as primary position source.

(RefPntlnt:) = The position of the GPS Antenna (fallback device in case primary source is disabled). After antenna installation, the distance from the sides must be measured and input. Either the distance from the vessel's bow (a) or the stern (b) and starboard (d) and backboard (c) are required.

e.g. A vessel with the following dimensions: PosRefPoints:

/ \

Length; Beam:

Input:

Result: RefPtExt:

100m 20m

90C5 - then press Enter or B10D15 -then press Enter

A90B10C5D15m

/

Lngth = A + B Beam = C + D B = x D = y

The X-PACK DS automatically calculates the missing distances (a) or (b) and (c) or (d) - based on the vessel's length and beam.

Note: When receiving position data from large vessels, it should be considered that the position refers to the antenna mounting point upon the vessel. To ensure accurate navigation, the antenna reference points (see Other Vessels Details) should be taken into consideration when determining the vessels position.

X-PACK DS User Manual 42

Also, the electronic chart display in use should be programmed to consider the antenna reference points. Traffic images are represented in true distances only when all displayed targets, including own vessel, are working with MS position information, which considers Antenna reference points.

Sample: Display: CallSign = 011233 ShipName = MA/TUGELA Length = 20m Beam = 30m RefPointExt = AI 70 B30 CI 5 D15m (location of the external GPS antenna) RefPointInT = A170 830 C9 D11m (location of the internal GPS antenna) ShipType = Tug

With the up/down keys you may move from line to line and input the correct data. The last line "ShipType:" must be selected by actuating the left/right keys out of the pool of all possible types. Actuate "Enter^ -^

Special is the setting of the GPS antenna position: The first settings which have to be entered are Length and Beam of the ship in meters. Next step: enter 2 values more per location to specify the distance from the bow and from the side. Distances are to be set in meters. 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

Example: Length =200m. A = 160m. Beam = 30m, D = 15m Move with Up/down keys to the Length line. Type 200, actuate "Enter*^ Move one line down. Type 30, actuate "Enter*^ RefPtExt and RefPtInt both show "N/A" now. Only one of the length values A or B must be entered and one of the width values C or D. For our example in the RefPtExt - line type as follows:

AI 60D15 (without spaces) Actuate "Enter*-^ The full line as shown will be displayed: RefPtExt: AI 60 B40 C15 D15m B and C are calculated by the AIS. Do the same with the RefPtInt - line Actuate soft key "Save" Display: Data Saved

System Reaction / Remedy

Reaction: The transponder unit stops transmission. If Alarm ID 01 and ID 02 are simultaneously displayed, then a major antenna problem has arisen. Remedy: Check if the antenna is AIS compatible (156-162 MHz) and if the antenna cabling has a short circuit or is missing any contacts at the connectors. If the ID 01 is displayed as a stand-alone message, then the unit requires replacing. Reaction: The transponder unit continues transmission. Remedy: Check the antenna and the antenna cabling (RG214 / 50 Ohm cable required). Reaction: The transponder unit stops transmission on the affected channel, Remedy: If this alarm reoccurs regularly, then the transponder unit requires replacing.

Reaction: The transponder unit stops transmission. Remedy: The transponder unit requires replacing. Reaction: The transponder unit continues operation using the position data of the internal GPS. If there is no valid position data available from the internal GPS, error 026 is additionally displayed. Remedy: ID 25 indicates that the sentences GLL, GNS, GGA, RMC cannot be received. Check the sensor and the cabling; check if the system that delivers the data is working. Check the baud rate settings of the sensor inputs. AIS requires the protocol NMEA 0183 V3.0!

Reaction: The transponder unit continues operation. Remedy: Check the sensor cabling and the antenna of the internal GPS sensor.

3.6 Graphical User Interface (Gut) The advanced version of the X-PACK DS is fitted with the new Graphical User Interface. The intention of this interface is to enable the operator to visualize any AIS traffic, which is travelling around the own position. Fast and direct access to AIS data is supported by display of a list containing vessel information, which can be reached directly from the Navigation Screen and viewed in two views (a radar oriented and a fairway oriented view). The X-PACK DS display is limited in resolution and size and should therefore be used as an additional information source only. The Navigation Screen (without the graphical information) remains the most relevant information source. The GUI is only visible in the advanced version of the X-PACK DS (software version 2.0.1.0 or higher).

Attention: The Automatic Identification System (AIS) provides additional information

from AIS equipped vessels only. The intention of the new views are to visualize this AIS data

for better and faster access to the ship details.

The main features of this Graphical User Interface (GUI) are the two new view options: Radar View The typical way of presenting traffic information on screens Fairway View This type of view is oriented to the current course over ground (COG) and supports the operator with information related to this particular region

Remarks V In both views it is possible to zoom in and out to get rriore detail or a better overview of the

visual content. - Additionally, it is possible to change the target (own & other vessel) symbols to fit personal

requirements in both views. - To receive further information on a specific target it can be selected by using the cursor keys. - Messages will be displayed on the GUI. Writing answers to messages is done by

automatically transferring to the Navigation Screen structure. - The function keys remain unchanged in the GUI.

An icon right to the M1 button indicates which filter is active. Pressing the [M1] button in one of the graphical views will let you toggle this filter online. iVIax Count sets the maximum number of targets to be displayed. For example a max Count of 20 displays 20 closest targets.

If during Auto Zoom the zoom level is changed manually, the Auto Zoom functionality is interrupted for 30 minutes. Then after this time period, Auto Zoom is active again. For Example: If you set Max Count to 20 and activate Auto Zoom, then the zoom level will be fitted to show these 20 targets.

4 Safety Functions

The X-PACK DS is fitted with Safety Keys, which allow the user to automatically send urgent messages without the necessity of navigating the Menus.

The SRM Button sends out Broadcast Safety Related Messages to all ships in the Vessel Listing. The MOB Button sends out precise position of incident to Addressed Vessels, therefore allowing the message to be sent to a vessel closest to accident location.

4.1 MOB Person over Board

By pressing the MOB button the current navigation position of own vessel and time of incident is automatically saved. The MOB message containing the distress information "Person Over Board" is automatically prepared for transmission as an Addressed or Broadcast Safety Related Message.

By pressing the [Broadcast] button, the MOB Message is automatically sent to all vessels within receiving range. By activating the [Send] button, an individual vessel can be chosen as recipient of the MOB Message.


The MOB screen shows the 5 closest vessels within receiving range as in some cases it may be helpful to send an individual message to a specific vessel, i.e. to a vessel which, is located closest to own ship or the accident area.

The > at the end of the Vessel Listing indicates, that further Vessels are listed and can be scrolled using the [Left] or [Right] buttons.
