PREFACE
Manta is designed to be flexible and expandable making it ideal for use in Integrated Bridge
Systems (IBS), as well as for standalone Radar Systems and Electronic Chart Display
Information Systems (ECDIS).
When used in standalone systems the Manta Display is dedicated for use as either a Radar
Display or as an ECDIS Display.
When used in Integrated Bridge Systems the Manta Display can be configured as a
networked Multi-Functional Display, which can be switched between different functions, e.g.
Radar, ECDIS or Conning Display, depending on the function required by the operator. This
allows a single display to control a number of functions, although only one function can be
accessed at any time.
Manta is designed so that, when required, the displays can be controlled from an Ergopod.
The operation, installation and maintenance of Manta is covered in the following manuals:
KH2060 - System Manual for the MantaDigital Radar Systems. This covers operation,
installation and maintenance of the MantaDigital Radar System, including the displays
and radars. This provides all the information required for standalone radar systems,
and for the networked multi-functional display in radar mode.
KH2062 - System Manual for the MantaDigital ECDIS Systems. This covers
operation, installation and maintenance of the MantaDigital ECDIS system. This
provides all the information required for stand alone ECDIS systems, and for the
networked multi-functional display in ECDIS mode.
KH2064 and KH2068 - System Manual for the MantaDigital VDR and SVDR Systems
repectively. This covers operation, installation and maintenance of the MantaDigital
VDR or SVDR.

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
1 This manual contains information on all the operational features of the MantaDigital
ECDIS. A typical ECDIS System is shown below in Figure 1. The operational features
that are active on individual systems may vary according to the customer's requirements.
Therefore, the displays on individual systems may not appear identical to those shown in this
manual. Where a particular feature is not active that feature and associated facilities will not be
displayed as a menu option in the Main and Chart Menus.

2 This chapter provides information on the ECDIS hardware, Chapter 2 provides physical
installation information, Chapter 3 provides Commissioning procedures and Chapter 4
provides Routine Maintenance Procedures.
3 KH3100, the ECDIS software user manual, which is bound with this manual, provides
the full operating procedures for the ECDIS software, and is applicable to all systems,
regardless of the hardware installation.
What is an ECDIS?
4 ECDIS stands for Electronic Chart Display and Information System. The Kelvin Hughes
ECDIS exceeds the minimum performance standards specified by the IMO allowing safe
and accurate navigation of the vessel using officially supplied electronic chart data.
What are Electronic Charts?
5 Electronic charts are similar to the traditional navigation paper charts used by mariners
for hundreds of years. These electronic charts are displayed on a computer, and provide
all the information contained on a paper chart, but with additional features, such as for example,
the display of position information obtained from an electronic position sensor. These features
are described in more detail later on.
6 Due to lack of global vector data, the Kelvin Hughes ECDIS supports Raster and Vector
data as officially released by International Hydrographic Organisations.
Vector Data
7 Vectorised data (in the form of a large database) is the only type of data that can be
officially used to replace paper charts. Vector data is interactive, providing facilities for a
fully flexible display, interrogation to ensure safe passage and intelligent passage planning.
Raster Data
8 Raster data is effectively a photograph of a paper chart displayed on the screen. Raster
data is not currently considered a sufficient replacement for the paper chart.

KH2062-1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
9 The Manta ECDIS workstations may be stand-alone, or part of an Integrated Bridge

System (IBS). The ECDIS software provides route planning and route monitoring
information and any danger to the safe navigation of the ship is indicated to the operator by a
series of warnings and alarms. Additional messages are displayed when the ECDIS is part of a
network. These messages are detailed in KH3100 Appendix B - Network Messages.
10 A combination of Raster and Vector charts can be displayed in up to three separate

windows. Charts can be displayed in a number of different ways, e.g. at different scales,
zoomed-in, zoomed-out, head up, north up, etc.
11 The optional Radar Interlay facility allows the Radar picture to be displayed on one
window together with the chart data.
12 The system is connected to positioning systems such as GPS and peripheral equipment
such as gyros, logs and autopilots.
ELECTRONIC USER MANUAL
13 An electronic copy of the User Manual for ECDIS Software (KH3100) can be accessed
via the Main Menu, refer to KH3100, which is bound with this manual. Selecting User
Manual from the Main Menu opens the on-screen User Manual.

SWITCHING ON AND SWITCHING OFF
Switching On
33 The ON/OFF switches on both the display and ECDIS Processor should be witched ON.
34 Once the Display and Processor are switched on, the Windows operating system will
boot up and ECDIS will be displayed.
35 When the workstation is powered up, the chart display area is initially grey. When the
ECDIS receives a position, the Vector Chart covering that position is automatically
loaded at an appropriate scale. If no position is available the chart display area remains grey and a
chart will have to be loaded manually.
36 Refer to KH3100, bound with this manual, for the ECDIS operating procedures.
Shutdown of ECDIS
37 Under normal conditions ECDIS should be shutdown from the Main Menu, Shutdown
option. This leaves the ECDIS system in a suitable state to be switched on again from the
display. To completely turn off the system, use the menu system then also physically switch off
the processor. Refer to KH3100 for the shutdown procedure.
Power On Following Shutdown
38 When switching on the ECDIS following a shutdown initiated from the Main Menu
option, the system starts up with settings in accordance with IEC1174.
39 If the shutdown was caused by a power interruption or by Switching Off the ECDIS
without first initiating a shutdown from the Main Menu, when ECDIS is Switched On the
system restarts with some settings remaining the same as prior to the shutdown. For details of
which settings remain unchanged, refer to KH3100.

ECDIS MantaDigital Processor Unit (MDP-A2)
51 The ECDIS Processor Unit takes the incoming signals from the ship's sensors and
processes them for use within the ECDIS system. It can also receive a radar input from
the ship's navigation radar, which is processed to provide a radar interlay with the chart.
Facilities are provided to allow data to be transferred between ECDIS Processors using a data
link and for connection to an ethernet network for transferring data to other systems, e.g. Route
Planning Terminals. There are 4 relay isolated external alarm outputs.
52 The ECDIS Processor is provided with 16 serial inputs/outputs. All these inputs/outputs
have been designed to accept NMEA, RS232 or RS422 signals.
53 Provision is made for Log and Gyro signals to be connected directly to the processor
unit.
54 Where a DIU is used to process incoming data, it is connected to the ECDIS Processor via
one of the serial inputs/outputs. The DIU is powered from the ECDIS Processor. The
DIU allows a variety of analogue input interfaces to be interfaced to the ECDIS Processor unit.
55 The radar input consists of radar real time video, sync pulses and azimuth and heading
line pulses. These are processed in the ECDIS Processor unit to provide radar video for
interlay on the charts.

KH2062-1
56 The unit is fitted with a Floppy Disk Drive and CD-ROM Drive which can be used to load
data on the system and a hard disk drive which stores the ECDIS program.
57 The ECDIS Processor Unit operates from the ship’s 110 V/220 V mains. Power supplies
to the DIU are derived from the ECDIS Processor.
58 Optionally, a UPS can be provided to maintain the supplies to both the ECDIS processor
and display in the event of a mains failure.
Data Interface Unit (VDR-A4)
59 The Data Interface Unit (DIU) (VDR-A4) provides interfacing between the ECDIS
Processor Unit and analogue inputs. The DIU consists of a small unit which is software
configurable to accept the variety of analogue signals found on ships. It communicates with the
ECDIS Processor Unit through a serial NMEA 0183 link. It also receives configuration data
through the serial link.
60 The DIU is powered by +12 V DC nominal (9.8 V to 13.2 V) from the ECDIS Processor
Unit. The +12 V is isolated from the chassis and all inputs and outputs.
61 The DIU provides a pulse interface input e.g. for pulse logs and 16 differential analogue
channels individually configurable as:
(1) Voltage.
(2) Current.
(3) Contact Closures.
62 The DIU is configured in hardware via jumpers and DIP-switches and from the ECDIS
Processor using setup software.
63 Various voltage ranges are selectable and 4 to 20 mA and point closure. The analogue
levels are sampled and the values output via RS232 proprietary NMEA messages.
64 The differential inputs are individually tolerant to a common mode offset of ±100 V (with
respect to Ground).
Range Resolution
±20 V 12 bit (25 mV)
0 to 20 V 12 bit (12.5 mV)
±10 V 12 bit (12.5 mV)
0 to 10 V 12 bit (6.25 mV)
4 to 20 mA 10 bit (6.25 mA)
Contact Closure 1 bit (On or Off)

67 These parameters are used when checking if a route is valid for track control.
Vessel Maximum Rate Of Turn (ROT)
68 The maximum safe rate of turn that the vessel can maintain while under track control.
Vessel Maximum Speed
69 The maximum safe speed that the vessel is capable of maintaining during track control.
Vessel Minimum Speed
70 The minimum speed at which the vessel can maintain a track.
Issue 4 Page 3.21

KH 2052
Minimum Leg Time
71 Some autopilots require a minimum time on a leg to allow for a Course change (WOP
arrival) alarm. Most autopilots use a value of 0 seconds. The CPlath Nautopilot ADII
autopilot requires 40 seconds.
WOP Arrival Circle Time
72 This is the time before the wheel over point (WOP) at which the WOP arrival flag is set in
the telegrams to the autopilot. This is normally set to 40 seconds.
Route Join Max Course Difference
73 If the difference between the current COG and the route leg bearing is greater than the
limit settrack control can not be started. This value is normally set to 30 degrees.
Must Acknowledge Before Turn
74 IEC62065 Track control, DNV and Lloyds certified vessels have a critical difference in
the required behaviour of the vessel at a waypoint.
75 If the operator does not acknowledge the turn, IEC62065 Track control and DNV require
that the turn still happens while Lloyds require that the vessel maintains its current
heading.
76 If checked and there is an unacknowledged Course Change alarm, the turn will not
happen and track control will be stopped (The Course Change alarm must be enabled).
This is currently required for Lloyds NAV1 certification. All other systems should have this item
unchecked.
Forwarding Distance
77 When following a route and the wheel over point at a turn is reached, the vessel is told to
turn. There is a delay before the required rate of turn is reached which means that the
vessel will overshoot. To compensate for this, the wheel over point is moved backwards along
the route by an amount sufficient for the turn to be steered accurately. The distance that the wheel
over point is moved is the forwarding distance.
78 The forwarding distance is dependent on the characteristics of the vessel, the vessel
speed and the rate of turn required for the turn though using a constant value of
forwarding distance can often be a good approximation.
79 By default, the ECDIS has a forwarding distance of zero metres set for all turns. If when
the ECDIS is controlling the autopilot the vessel overshoots the turn by an excessive
amount, the forwarding distance should be set. This should only be done by experienced
installation engineers.
NOTE: Incorrect setting of this value can cause erratic vessel behaviour when in track
control!
Page 3.22 Issue 4

KH 2052
Use Forwarding Distance During Turn
80 The EMRI autopilot requires the forwarding distance to be used during a turn to calculate
a course to steer and tangential bearing for a point along the turn arc ahead of ownship by
the forwarding distance. Other autopilots which use CTS during the turn may also benefit from
this though not the CPlath or Tokimec.

Do All Decoder Configuration
115 If the VDR has been configured to use one or more ‘Do All’ decoders the Do All Decoder
Configuration Page shown in figure 25 is displayed.
Figure 25 - Do All Decoder Configuration Page
116 ‘Do All’ decoders within the VDR are designed to decode a wide range of NMEA style
IEC61162-1 telegrams that have no standard decoders. Because the ‘Do All’ decoders
are so flexible they require a significant amount of configuration before they can be used. It is for
this reason that ‘Do All’ decoders should only be used if data from the device is required to be
displayed either in real-time or while in VDRReplay. If the data is only required to be logged
then it is recommended that the General decoder be used instead.
117 A ‘Do All’ telegram is divided into ‘fields’. Each field is separated by a comma (,). Fields
are numbered from zero, with zero being the field before the first comma. Hence the
Rolls-Royce Engine system field 0 will always be “$PRRS”. Subsequent data field’s numbers
can be determined by counting the number of commas that precede them. Data fields can be
manipulated by using the Amend Field, Add Field and Delete Field buttons. Data fields that
already exist are displayed in the list.
118 The Delete Field button will delete the currently selected field. A field is selected by
clicking on it in the list.
Issue 4 Page 3.35

KH 2052
119 The Amend Field button will allow the operator to change the attributes of the currently
selected field. The dialog opened depends on the type of field that is to be amended (see
below).
120 The Add Field button will add a new field to the list and will open the Do All Field
Selection dialog shown below.
Figure 26 - Data Field Selection Dialogue Box
121 Use this dialogue box to select the type of data field that is to be added. At present four
types of data field and a Status Field have been defined:
(1) Numerical Value. The Numerical Value data field is used for all fields that just
contain a value. Examples of numeric value data fields are percentages and
temperatures.
(2) Telegram Selector. A Telegram Selector Data Field is used when the value of a
data field determines the meaning of other fields. This could be by changing the
type of information in the other fields (e.g. the message number field Rolls Royce
telegrams) or by changing the source of the information (e.g. selection of which
thruster the following information is for). The Telegram Selector is like creating
several new ‘Do All’ decoders that are invoked depending on the value in the
Telegram Selector data field. Once a telegram selector has been created the only
other data fields that should be added to the root of the ‘Do All’ decoder are ones
that never change despite the value in the telegram selector data field.
(3) Bit Field . The Bit Field data field is used to decode special fields in which each
binary digit is used to represent the status of a switch, e.g. Rolls Royce status
words. This also includes values that could just be either 1 or 0.
(4) Status Field. The Status Field data field is used to decode fields in which
particular text indicates a particular status, e.g. position sensor operation mode.
This also includes values that could be either 1 or 0.
122 Each type of data field is configured by its own configuration dialog.
Page 3.36 Issue 4

KH 2052
123 The Numerical Value Configuration Dialogue box is as follows:

124 All that needs to be configured is the name of the data field and its number as described
above.
125 The Telegram Selector Configuration Dialogue box is as follows
Figure 28 - Telegram Selector Configuration Dialogue Box
126 The name of the data field and its number need to be entered in the same way as for the
Numeric Value Configuration. Each possible value that the data field can have must be
entered into the Telegram ID list.
127 The field number in the telegram configuration field can be a sequence of numbers
separated by commas. This is used when a sequence of multiple field packets need to be
d e c o d e d . A n e x a mp l e of t h i s i s t h e N a u t i El e c t r o n i c s d o o r s t a t u s p a c k e t
($WDXTR,H,D4,0,D7,0,D11,1*3C). In this telegram a description of the door (D1,D2 etc) is
followed by a door status. Instead of having to enter telegram data fields (one for each field that
could contain a door description) the same data field is used in several positions. This is done by
entering 2,4,6,8,10 etc in the data field number field.

BACK-UP OF USER CREATED CHARTS, MAPS AND ROUTES
190 The hard drive restoration procedure will have to be implemented in the unlikely event of
a hard drive, or ECDIS program failure. Restoring all partitions, or data partitions, will
erase any user created notes, routes and maps. It is therefore recommended that these notes,
routes and maps are backed-up to floppy disk on a regular basis. This can be done from the
ECDIS (See KH3100) or by using the RegBackup utility.
Issue 4 Page 3.67

KH 2052
RegBackup Utility
191 The RegBackup utility can be used to create a back-up of the ECDIS Settings, Routes,
Maps and Chart Permits, for use when upgrading software or to restore the Hard drive
following failure.
192 Back-ups can be created as follows:
(1) Exit from ECDIS and run RegBackup, either from the desktop or from the
restoration CD. The RegBackup dialogue box will be displayed, as shown in
Figure 61.
Figure 61 - RegBackup Dialogue Box
(2) Either insert a floppy disk into the floppy disk drive or other media such as a
memory stick in the USB port, and click on the Backup Data To Disk button. If
media other than a floppy disk is used, a dialog will be displayed to enable the
user to select the location of the backup media.
(3) If the media has insufficient space for all the data, prompts will be displayed
requesting other media on which to continue.
(4) When the back-up is complete, remove the media and label them with the vessel
name, date and disk number and store them in a safe place on board.
(5) Make a copy of the back-up media and return them to Kelvin Hughes.
NOTE: Before upgrading the ECDIS software, use RegBackup and implement the back-up
procedure described above to ensure that the most recent data, routes, etc. are
stored.

KH 2052
RESTORING DATA FROM BACK-UP FLOPPY DISK
193 To restore the saved ECDIS settings, routes, maps and chart permits from the back-up
media:
(1) Restart the ECDIS system and exit from ECDIS.

(2) Run RegBackup from the desktop (or from the ECDIS Restoration CD).
(3) Put the ECDIS Restoration CD into the CD-ROM Drive and click on ‘Restore
Data from ECDIS Restoration CD’ button.
(4) Insert either the first back-up floppy disk in the floppy disk drive or other media
in the appropriate port and click on ‘Restore Data from Backup Disk’ button. If
media other than a floppy disk is used, a dialog will be displayed to enable the
user to select the location of the backup data on the media.
(5) If the back-up is contained on more than one floppy disk, insert the next floppy
disk when a message box appears stating that a file can't be found.
(6) When the restoration of data is complete, click on the CLOSE button and restart
the system.
