1. INTRODUCTION
NAVTEX is a method of transmitting navigational warnings and weather forecasts
from designated coast radio stations. All English language transmissions are
made on 518 kHz. Each station is allocated several time ‘slots’ during the day,
when it is permitted to transmit; these are normally at four hourly intervals. The
only exceptions to this are gale warnings and search and rescue messages,
which may be transmitted at any time.

Reception of NAVTEX is normally limited to an area of 200 - 300 miles radius


around each transmitting station, although considerably greater ranges are
possible at night.

Subject to IMO approval, additional local language transmissions may be made


on 490 kHz and on 4209.5 kHz.

The NAV-7 has been designed to the latest European and International
specifications to provide up to date weather and marine safety information to
commercial vessels. It meets IMO requirements under GMDSS and is designed
for simplicity of operation. It will display reliable information day after day within
designated NAVTEX coverage areas.

Installation is straightforward. Connect the NAV-7 to a 12 or 24 volt DC supply


and connect a suitable antenna. Switch it on, and it will start displaying and
storing NAVTEX messages without further manual intervention. Note that if there
are only a couple of NAVTEX stations within range it may be several hours before
the first message is received.

If you are within an area where you are able to receive from many NAVTEX
stations (particularly at night), the NAV-7 may overwhelm you with information. It
can therefore be set up to display only those stations and message categories
you want to receive and which are applicable to the area in which you are sailing.

Normally, routine messages are repeated at four hourly intervals. Provided that
the NAV-7 is left running, repeated messages are not displayed more than once.
Each message is retained for three days (72 hours) after its last reception before
being automatically deleted, unless the message has been marked as locked.

Permanent installation of the NAV-7 can be made with either the bulkhead-
mounting bracket or the flush panel mounting kit provided.

The NAV-7 has been designed to meet the requirements of IMO MSC.148 (77)
and IEC 61097-6 (Ed 2.0).

The NAV-7 contains 3 receiver channels, one each tuned to 490 kHz, 518 kHz
and 4209.5 kHz. The NAV-7 will receive on all 3 frequencies simultaneously in
those parts of the world where transmissions are available (refer to Appendix I
and to the McMurdo website at www.mcmurdo.co.uk for latest information).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine


Commercial in confidence 35-506 Iss 1

The NAV-7 can be setup to filter out stations and/or message categories that are not
required by the User.

The NAV-7 is capable of being connected to an Integrated Bridge System (IBS),


transferring NAVTEX messages to other navigational aids if required. Note that the
IBS must be compliant with the serial port requirements of IEC61097-6 (Ed 2.0).

The NAV-7 will accept UTC time & date information from the IBS port if available.
UTC time & date will be used to timestamp received NAVTEX messages.

1.1. Scope
This manual provides the instructions to enable routine and emergency servicing of
the NAVTEX equipment listed below. This manual represents the original equipment
manufacturer’s (OEM) service documentation applicable to these products.

1.2. Applicability
This manual applies to the following NAVTEX equipment:

• McMurdo NAV-7 Part number 35-850-001

1.3. Servicing equipment


The following tools and equipment is required to carry out the servicing detailed in
this procedure.

Equipment:
Active antenna (ACT-1)
Power supply (12-24V)

Handtools:
Calibrated torque driver (40-50cNm) with attachments:
5mm A/F socket
Small cross-headed screwdriver

Antistatic precautions
The electronics section of the NAV-7 is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD)
which can cause immediate or hidden long term damage. It is important that the PCB
is only handled under suitable antistatic conditions.
Ideally, a fully grounded workstation, which has conductive
surfaces to avoid the build up of static charge, should be
used.
As a minimum, the operator must be connected to a good
earth point through a resistance of 1Mohm. This is usually
achieved by wearing a suitable wrist strap.

4. FAULT FINDING

4.1. NAVTEX Update — Optimising Reception


OPTIMISING NAVTEX RECEPTION
When sailing within a published NAVTEX service area, reception coverage can
extend as far as 200 - 300 nautical miles. If the NAVTEX signal has to cross land to
any significant extent, attenuation may occur and this can reduce the reception range
to as little as 50 miles. Range can increase significantly at night; it can sometimes
extend to as much as 1000 miles. Some NAVTEX stations reduce transmitter power
at night to avoid overlap of signals into other sea areas.

Background electrical noise in a marina, the presence of high cliffs and the masts of
surrounding vessels can all contribute to poorer NAVTEX reception when in harbour
rather than at sea.

To ensure the best reception possible, always mount the NAVTEX antenna in a
location that is free of other electrical equipment. Take care to avoid locations that
are close to wind generators, battery chargers, shore power transformers and any
associated electrical power wiring. If there is any doubt regarding the suitability of a
proposed sensor location, first make a temporary test installation to confirm that the
reception performance meets requirements before committing time and effort to a full
sensor installation that may later have to be changed.

System Grounding
It is necessary to install a grounding connection; to increase the sensitivity of the
system and hence the range of reception, Ensure that the 1/8th” spade terminal
ground pin at the of the NAV-7 is connected to a good electrical ground. This should
be the ship’s hull or can either be a specially installed ground plate, or the keel bolts
on a non-encapsulated keel or bonded hull skin fitting. Use a minimum cable size of
at least 1.5 mm2.
You may need to read the installation guyidlines for the antenna being used to
ensure correct grounding requirements.
Note that connection to an inappropriate or electrically noisy ground point can
sometimes give unpredictable results and may even reduce overall reception
performance. Consequently, do not make a new ground connection and assume that
it will make things better; always check that reception is better before committing to
that connection.

Isolating sources of on board interference:


• Wait until the next scheduled transmission time of a distant station (100 miles
or more away).
• Use the monitor facility on the receiver options page to view received
messages as they are received.
• Turn off all sources of AC power usage, battery chargers, inverters, generators
and shore power
• Note any improvement to the average reception error rate

NAV-7 Service Manual Page 23

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine


Commercial in confidence 35-506 Iss 1

• Turn on all sources of AC power usage, one at a time, noting any increase in
reception errors

Reception errors may also be caused by close proximity of DC-powered equipment.


In this case repeat the above test but include all DC-powered instruments on board
as well.

Should any item be proven to have a significant negative effect on reception consult
a qualified marine electrician for advice.

4.2. Fault location

Reception poor
Is there 12V on the antenna TNC connector ?
NO - check that it's enabled in s/w
Are the VCOs set to correct frequency ?
NO – see receiver set up and correct the VCO DAC values

Strange banding / stripes / artifacts on the LCD


1. Check the flat flexi cable between the LCD and the display PCB - replace if
necessary
2. Swap the LCD module
3. Swap the display PCB

Does not start up


1. Is there s/w in the unit? Try to re-load the software
2. Does the red LED flash? If not swap the display PCB

Backlight failed
1. Check for trapped Cold cathode fluorescent light (CCFL) wires
2. Swap the LCD module
3. Swap the display PCB.

4.3. Service Bulletin 08


Subject: Configuration of data ports
Reference: Connection to ECDIS/IBS/ECS for Iss 0.1.1
software
The NAV-7 can be set up to output standard NAVTEX messages for latest ECDIS/IBS systems or to
output plain text characters for older systems.

There are 2 RS422 ports on the rear of the NAV-7:


9 way D-type referred to as NMEA and printer port
15 way D-type referred to as Power and IBS port
Please see the user appendix for pin numbers etc.

It is recommended that the ports are set up as per the port names: Printer port for printer, IBS port for
ECDIS.
It is also recommended that the external GPS is connected to the Printer port.
The power is supplied to the IBS port.

Note: The RXA/RXB connections are not configurable except for speed – the NAV-7 will only respond
to messages as per IEC61097-6 Ed2.

However both ports can be set up to output either plain text print data or IEC61097-6 Ed 2 NAVTEX
(IBS) messages (NRX etc).

The ports are set up in SET UP MODE: SERIAL OPTIONS.


Example 1: If the NAV-7 needs to be connected to an older style IBS that does not handle NAVTEX
messages.
Set the NMEA Port speed as required. Set the printer width as required.
Set Printer port to NMEA: this sends the printer data to the NMEA/Printer port.
Example 2: If the NAV-7 needs to be connected to a second bridge system (that does handle NAVTEX
messages).
Set the equipment to the same baud rate as already selected for the first IBS.
Set Bridge port to NMEA: this sends the IBS data to the NMEA/Printer port.

The plain text print data is sent when print is requested by the operator or if a new message is
received.

Both ports can also be set up to send alarm messages (ALR).
