1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1.1 Hardware
MARIS ECDIS computers come in two variants:
- Stand-alone unit (Mk10).
- Split units (Mk4: HTC01 PC and Hatteland monitor).
Both variants have VGA output for a slave monitor, for example for Conning Display or
installed in the captain’s quarter, maximum cable length is 15 meters.
The Mk10 stand-alone unit has a 19” display and fits easily in any console, on a chart
table or on a pedestal bolted to the ship’s deck.
The Mk4 split units require more space, but is also more flexible as the monitor size can
be selected from 19 to 26 inches. Wide screen monitors are supported.
More information about the installation possibilities can be found in the chapters
Electrical drawings and Mechanical drawings.
The split solution requires a standard RS232 serial cable between the units. This cable
carries control signals for colour table, dimmer and audible alarm.
Fig. 1 Wiring between HTC01 PC and Hatteland Monitor
The video connection must be DVI for correct colour representation.

The VGA connection is intended for a slave monitor.

1.2 Single ECDIS
1.2.1 Minimum configuration

Important:
RJ45 loop-through network plug must be fitted to avoid network problems.
Fig. 2 Single ECDIS
1.2.2 Standard delivery

The standard delivery of single ECDIS includes:
- Stand-alone unit (MK10) or Split units (PC and Monitor) including 8 channels
NMEA interface (Moxa).
- Dongle, marked with unique ID.
- ECDIS installation CD.
- Application manager installation CD.
- Navtex installer CD.
- Ghost CD.
- Full collection of electronic charts CDs, ENC and/or AVCS.

Page 6 of 57
1.3 Dual ECDIS
1.3.1 Minimum configuration

This is the typical configuration on board most ships.
The system meets IMO minimum requirements for sailing paperless. Note that the
mandatory signals are hardwired to each computer. Should one fail the other will still be
fully functional. A network is added, so charts, routes etc. can be shared among the
computers. Additional sensors, for example AIS and ARPA, can be connected to the
free ports and also shared over the network.
Fig. 3 Dual ECDIS
1.3.2 Standard delivery

The standard delivery of dual ECDIS includes:
- Two Stand-alone units (MK10) or Split units (PC and Monitor), each unit
including 8 channels NMEA interface (Moxa).
- Two Dongles, marked with unique ID.
- ECDIS installation CD.
- Application manager installation CD.
- Navtex installer CD.
- Two Ghost CDs.
- Full collection of electronic charts CDs, ENC and/or AVCS.
- Two Installation kits. See Annex Installation kits for more information.
- One network switch.
Page 7 of 57
1.3.3 Dual ECDIS configuration with additional input and UPS
Fig. 4 Dual ECDIS with Mk10 stand-alone unit and Mk4 split unit solution
The standard delivery is completed with two UPS. See paragraph UPS for more
information.
AIS input: The AIS transponder sends a lot of information to the ECDIS,
especially in busy areas such as Singapore or Rotterdam. Therefore it is
important to connect the AIS to only one PC in order to avoid overloading of the
network.
In addition filtering of AIS targets must be set up in Sensor Monitor as described
in the paragraph AIS.
Page 8 of 57
1.3.4 Dual ECDIS configuration with MBA (MARIS Bridge Assistant)

MBA is the application in charge of communication with shore based databases, by e-
mail or direct Internet connection, if broadband is available on board.
MBA is used to order chart permits, receive weekly updates for the ENC or AVCS
collection and weather data.
Fig. 5 Dual ECDIS with MBA installed on Standalone PC
The standard delivery is completed with:

- MBA System (HTC01 PC and 19” Hatteland monitor is recommended).
- MBA installer CD.
- Installation kit: See Annex Installation kits for more information.
Page 9 of 57
1.4 Triple ECDIS

An extra ECDIS work station is added.
Should one fail, the system falls back to a fully functional dual ECDIS, which still meets
the IMO requirements. The ship is not forced to repair before leaving the harbour, but
can continue to the next convenient port of call.
Fig. 6 Triple ECDIS
Page 10 of 57
1.5 Full MARIS system
The Conning station displays in a graphical manner data from engine, rudder, thruster,
etc. – data that is available on the network. This is typically engine data from the VDR
and navigational data from the ECDIS.
The MBA system is used for chart ordering and updating, and is connected to the
ECDIS network and to the ship’s network.
The system is modular in nature, and can be extended in many ways, for example with
MARIS LOG4000 and/or VDS as shown below.
Thanks to the connection to the outside world remote maintenance is an option when
broadband is available on board, which greatly reduces the running service costs.
MARIS keeps a sharp eye on the modular functionality. A failing or malfunctioning work
station will not bring the whole system down and will not compromise safety of
navigation.
Fig. 7 Full MARIS system

1.6 Serial interfaces, Moxa or SIS4000-Mk2
1.6.1 Hardware notes:

The ECDIS is sold in 2 configurations regarding sensors.
1. Minimum configuration with 4 sensor input, 4-channel Moxa.
2. Extended configuration with 8 sensor input, 8-channel Moxa or SIS4000-Mk2.
Moxa, PCI board module:

All Moxa channels have input/output configured for rs422.
Input to ECDIS is pin 3 and 4. Output from ECDIS is pin 1 and 2.
SIS4000-Mk2, network based module:

All channels are configured for rs422.
Channel 1 to 6 is input only, Baud rates 4800 or 9600, 8n1.
Channel 7 and 8 is input/output, Baud rates 1200 to 115200, 8n1.
The modules can be mixed in any combination, so the tables that follow are for general
cargo ships. Seismic vessels and other special purpose ships will most likely be
different.
Keep the standard when installing, stick to the tables as far as it will go.

1.6.5 General.
The Moxa module will be phased out and replaced by the SIS4000-Mk2. The benefit is
a reduced cost in material and installation. The fitting of the module is much more
flexible and it gives a nicer look with fewer cables and no plugs to solder.
When installing, bear in mind that every ECDIS must be able to run as a stand-alone
unit.
The SIS4000-Mk2 must be installed as a dedicated unit for the computer,

and NOT shared over the ECDIS network!
1.6.6 Installation, network.

The network cable must be terminated as a crossed cable (computer to computer).
1.6.7 Installation, power.

The SIS4000-Mk2 accepts 10-40 VDC.
From AC/DC power supply:

It is mandatory that the Ac power comes from the same source as for the computer.
From Emergency or Radio batteries:

Take the power from the same source that feeds the main navigational GPS.
1.6.8 Configuration.
Please read the Annex SIS4000-Mk2 installation and configuration.

2 ELECTRICAL
2.1 Installation kit

For each work station an installation kit is available. This kit contains approved
ToughCat network cable, approved power cable, power strips, cable ties and markers
and much more.
See Annex Installation kits for more information.
Note that the network cable requires special RJ45 connectors, which are also included.
Failure to use approved items may lead the class society or the flag state to
reject the installation and deny the final approval.
Do not get caught in the net – use the installation kit !
2.2 AC Power
MARIS standardize on 220VAC 50/60 Hz.
Plugs and power strips are in accordance with European standard.
On ships with 110VAC and specifically Japanese build ships with 100VAC, MARIS
recommends an UPS to be installed. Refer to the Annex More about UPS for the correct
types.
Power must be taken from the Navigational Equipment Switchboard or from the
Emergency Switchboard. Two (2) circuit breakers are needed, one for the monitoring
station and one for the planning station (IMO requirement).
Other items can be powered from the same source or from elsewhere.
Do NOT power the equipment from the Lighting Switchboard as it may not be
connected to the emergency diesel generator.
Powering from the Lighting Switchboard may lead the class society or the flag
state to reject the installation and deny the final approval.
2.3 UPS
MARIS ECDIS is certified to run without UPS as the ECDIS will start up from where it
left off. Nevertheless, it will greatly improve stability and protect against brownouts and
noise to add an UPS. The UPS used must be type approved. Read more about UPS in
the Annex.
2.4 DC Power
NMEA buffers must be powered from the radio battery or the emergency battery. In
other words, when connecting a GPS buffer take the power from the GPS source. The
buffers are protected by internal auto resettable fuses.
AC/DC power supplies connected to the nearest wall outlet is not accepted.
Use the power strips from the installation kit and take the power from the same
source as for the ECDIS computer.
Page 16 of 57
2.5 Buffers and EPFS

Electronic Position Fixing System (EPFS).
An EPFS can be any navigation system, receiver or integrated navigation system,
having an IEC 61162 NMEA interface. On a Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention
ship the navigation system must meet IMO performance standards, being certified and
Wheel Mark approved.
In practice most EPFS systems are currently GPS. Other candidates are the Russian
GLONASS and the European Galileo.
Most ships carry two or more navigational GPS and they are typically heavily
overloaded. Add buffers to GPS, gyro and log.
Connect GPS1 to the monitoring station and GPS2 to the planning station.
The output norm from the GPS is traditionally NMEA0183.
It is advisable to change the norm to IEC and enable the IMO recommended
sentences GGA, GLL, GNS, DTM, ZDA, HDT, VBW and VTG.
These sentences are required by the ECDIS as a minimum configuration.
Disable other sentences in order to reduce traffic load on the output port.
The GPS must be capable of transmitting the above mentioned sentences and
must be Wheel Mark approved. Discard the GPS and install a new if these
requirements are not met.
Page 17 of 57
2.6 Cable run

Plan the installation and lay up the cables. Use existing cable ways and transitions as
far as it will go. New transitions must be made in accordance with good workmanship
and properly sealed (fire protection).
Fig. 8 Yes, accepted by class Fig. 9 No, rejected by class
Fig. 10 From hall of fame Fig. 11 From hall of shame
All cables in the installation kit are screened cables. Do not forget to make a proper
grounding of the cables and the computers. The ToughCat network cable is perfect for
connecting the sensors and has 4 individually screened pairs.
The RJ45 network plugs supplied will ground the cable when fitted.
In addition to the mandatory sensors lay up cables for other sensors. It is common
practice to connect AIS, ARPA X, Navtex, Echo sounder and Anemometer to the
monitoring station and other sensors to the planning stations. Because these sensors
are not mandatory the data can be distributed over the network to all computers.
Page 18 of 57
2.7 Connecting sensors

Two options are available depending on the customer’s choice.
1. Moxa PCI board with 4 or 8 channels.
The installation kit contains DB9 plugs for connection to the octopus cable from
the Moxa serial interface. The cable is labelled 1 to 8 corresponding to Windows
COM ports 3 to 10. The Moxa board is strapped for RS422.
Solder the DB9 plug to the sensor cable. Input to the ECDIS is pin 3 and 4.
Output from the ECDIS is pin 1 and 2, and is mainly used for remote control of
the AIS and for position input to the Navtex receiver.
2. SIS4000-Mk2 with 8 channels. Network based communication with the ECDIS
computer over the 2nd LAN adapter.
Read more about the installation and configuration in the Annex SIS4000-Mk2
installation and configuration.
Never use RS232!

This standard is not galvanic isolated and will ground the entire 24V net on the
ship and this may damage connected equipment.
RS232 is not allowed on a SOLAS ship and violates any type approval. Not only
violating the rule work, it is also bad engineering and installation practice, which
can result in loss of data and compromise safety of navigation.
Page 19 of 57
3 PREPARING THE COMPUTER FOR THE FIRST RUN
All computers must be set for the particular installation as no two ships or installations
are alike.
Start with the monitoring computer and then go through the others.
3.1 Factory default

All computers leave the factory with these settings:
Computer Workgroup IP-Address Subnet mask Gateway

Page 20 of 57
Important notes:
Computer names.
The suggested names must be changed to something descriptive, for example
Monitoring, Planning, Chart Table, Planning 1, MBA or Conning.
Workgroup name.
This workgroup name “MARIS” must NEVER be changed.
IP-address.
Addresses in the range 150 to 199 can be freely used.
Subnet number.
This number is marked X in the table and is in the range 1 to 3.
Set to 1 on systems connected to a MARIS VDR2000 or VDR2200 Mk1.
Set to 2 on systems not connected to a MARIS VDR.
Set to 3 on systems connected to a MARIS VDR2200 Mk2.
Consilium radars have 2 IP-addresses per radar. In this case increment the IP-
addresses by 5 instead of 1 to avoid conflicts.
3.4 Network connections

Open Control Panel/Network Connections.
Find the active connection and rename it to ECDIS network.
Rename the second network to Sensor network (this is for future use with SIS4000-Mk2
and other network based sensor modules).
Right click this connection and disable it, as it is unused for the moment being.
HTC01 has 4 connections, disable unused connections.
In general (and regardless of the computer model) all unused connections must be
disabled in order not to waste system resources.
3.5 Network activation

Run Windows Network Setup Wizard.
Make sure the workgroup name is set to MARIS and turn on File and Printer Sharing.
Finish the wizard.

3.7 Share folders.
Important: If the whole C drive is shared then unshare it.
Share the folders Charts and ECDIS_UserData for full read/write access.
3.8 Test the network

Verify that all computers in the network can see each other, shared folders and the files.
3.9 The final touch

Turn off Windows Firewall, Automatic Updates and Antivirus Protection.
Open Security Center and disable the alerts.
By now the system is fully functional and the installation and configuration of the MARIS
programs can be done.
Page 23 of 57
4 INSTALLING MARIS APPLICATIONS

The computers come with preinstalled software. Check the versions and update if
needed. An update can be done on top of the existing version and will not overwrite
configurations or user data.
Tips.
Create a folder “MARIS programs” on the desktop. Share the folder.
Copy all installation files (ECDIS900, PC Radar, Navtex and Application Manager) to
that folder. This will enable the crew to reinstall failing programs should the need arise
later.
4.1 ECDIS900
Close all running programs and start the ECDIS900 installation program. Follow
instructions on screen, accept default settings and pay attention to these steps:
Type of computer.
Select Mk6, Mk10 or Other if you are working with a split installation such as Hatteland
HTC01 and Hatteland monitor. The selection here loads the correct colour table for the
monitor in use or loads a standard colour table.
Screen dimensions.
Key in actual values. Incorrect settings will give incorrect aspect ratio, and circles on the
chart will appear as ovals. This is important on wide-screen monitors.
Manufacturer Model Width in mm Height in mm

Hatteland JH 19T14 MMD 376 301
MARIS MK6 407 305
MARIS MK10 375 302
Lenovo X201 262 164
Lenovo X40 245 185
Lenovo X60 252 186
During installation answer NO to a restart, and the program continues to install the C-
Map runtime library. This module must be installed, because it is part of the ECDIS900
program regardless of you are using C-Map or not.
Restart the computer when the installer finishes.
You can also check and change the values in the Registry, keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MARIS\MARIS ECDIS 900\ScreenHeightMm and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MARIS\MARIS ECDIS 900\ScreenWidthMm.
Page 24 of 57
Install passwords.
Double right click the blue title bar, select “System Protection”.
Enter mayday911 as administrator password and 1234 as user password.
If not accepted because another password is present, then proceed as above and enter
ECDISADMIN in the field ‘Type Old Password’.
All passwords are case sensitive.
Select Monitoring or Planning station.

Double right click the blue title bar, select “System Protection” and set the computer as
either monitoring (master) or planning (slave). Only one master is allowed, but several
slaves can be configured.
4.2 Sensor Monitor

This program is installed as part of the ECDIS900 package.
Sensor Monitor is the keystone in the MARIS system and takes care of the data flow on
the network, to and from the sensors, computers and programs.
This chapter describes how to configure the most commonly used sensors, NMEA0183,
AIS Transponder and Display Controller. For other sensors or for a more detailed
explanation please read the Sensor Monitor User Manual.
General settings.
• Turn on checksum for all sensors (depress the button “Check Checksum”).
• Do not use sensor data routing except for input to the VDR or PAYS.
• Turn off Immediate Data Forward if no PcRadar is installed.
• Verify Network Mode is selected. There is no communication to/from other
computers, if Sensor Monitor runs in Local Mode.
• If the vessel is equipped with a MARIS VDR then connect the AIS sensor to the
VDR and one of the ECDIS computers. Go to the AIS sensor in the VDR and
enable AIS Target Table filter with 24 NM range and 250 targets.
Turn OFF Target Sending by placing a tick mark in the box, forcing the AIS
sensor into receive-only mode. More than one active connection in the system
generates a lot of network traffic and may overload the computers.
• Enable AIS Target Table filter with 24 NM range and 250 targets in the ECDIS
computer.
Display controller Mk6 or Mk10.

Verify correct Display Controller is installed. Select port COM1. System specific colour
table is loaded automatically. The sensor also controls the alarm sound on the Mk10,
check that ECDIS alarms give an audible sound from the monitoring computer.
Note, old versions of Mk6 do not have the Backlight Controller board installed, thus the
sensor can be omitted.
Display controller Hatteland HTC01 and Hatteland monitor.

Verify correct Display Controller is installed (Hatteland Display Ctl).
Select port COM2. The sensor also controls the alarm sound, check that ECDIS alarms
give an audible sound from the monitor. Check that colours look right. If not, then check
the connection of the serial cable between the units and make a factory reset of the
monitor.
Page 25 of 57
Every monitor comes with its own unique colour table, which Sensor Monitor downloads
and installs. If this does not happen either the cable is missing or connected to the
wrong port or the configuration is wrong. You can always force a download by deleting
the sensor and creating it again.
NMEA0183 sensor.
The sensor is used for almost all connected equipment such as GPS, gyro, log, ARPA,
wind, echo sounder etc. Try this sensor first. If it does not work then select one of the
dedicated sensors.
AIS Transponder sensor.

Remote control from the ECDIS is possible, but is per default turned off.
If the master wants that function enabled then place a tick mark in the box ‘Send data to
the transponder’ and connect the output from the sensor to the AIS for two-way data.
4.3 Ship specific settings.

All ship specific settings must be entered from the monitoring ECDIS. From here they
are distributed to the other computers on the network. Here is a list of very important
settings that must be done on every installation.
Ship Properties, tabsheet General and Voyage.
If the function ‘Send data to the transponder’ is enabled in the AIS sensor, the AIS can
be remotely controlled from here. If disabled all fields are read-only data from the AIS.
Ship Properties, tabsheet Shape/GPS-Radar.
Adjust GPS antenna position until the ship is perfectly aligned alongside the quay.
Select another GPS sensor and repeat the adjustment. Continue until all GPS sensors
have been set correctly (every GPS has its own correction table).
Also set radar and conning positions.
Ship Properties, tabsheet Shape/F-Distance.
Set Pivot Point Distance and F-Distance table to match the actual parameters obtained
during the sea trial. These values are used to calculate XTD and wheel-over point for
track steering.
Ship Properties, tabsheet AIS.
Click the button Update Ship Library.
Safety depth.
Right click on the chart and select Chart settings. Click tabsheet Technical. Fill in the
actual parameters.
Options, tabsheet Route.
Adjust default values for Turning Radius and Speed.
Lock settings!
Double right click the blue title bar, select “System Protection”.
Click the button Lock ECDIS Settings.

4.4 Navtex
Connect the Navtex receiver data output (not printer output) to a free serial port on any
ECDIS computer. It is common practice to connect to the monitoring computer, but very
often it is simpler to connect to the planning computer at the chart table.
Reset the Navtex receiver to factory defaults. Set up the Navtex receiver to receive all
messages from all stations and to send everything to the data output port.
The ECDIS computer that is physically connected to the Navtex receiver runs as the
Navtex Master. Install Navtex Server and Navtex Inbox software on that computer.
Accept default settings, but select NMEA extension.
The other computers in the network run as Navtex Slaves.

Install Inbox only, do NOT install the Server. Accept default settings, but select NMEA
extension.
Restart; verify that Sensor Monitor and ECDIS900 are running.
4.4.1 Navtex Master configuration.

1. On the desktop’s process line right-click the Server icon and then click Open
Server Dialog.
2. The Server is running.
Click Options/Port Settings. Select the serial port to where the Navtex receiver is
physically connected. Set baud rate to 4800, Parameters to 8,n,1. Click Ok.
Note: Sensor Monitor is not used for Navtex input.
3. Select Options.
Verify that there is a tick mark in Use NMEA Extensions.
Remove all other tick marks and check that something is rolling in.
This depends of the receiver in use, these examples are from a JRC NCR333:
$CRALR, (list of possible errors - normally flagged V for not active).
$CRNRX, (list of received messages, line by line).
BLABLABLA…, (message in plain text).
If it looks like Chinese the signal is inverted. Swap the wires. The data must be
clearly readable and in plain text.
Look for the NRX message. We need this one in order to continue.
All Ok? Then turn off the terminal window by clicking Options/Pause terminal.
4. Click Options/Position Settings.
Select Accept The Position From Sensor Monitor. Click Ok. Note that the Server
title bar has changed and now shows your current position and navarea.
Tick Send Position To Receiver.
5. Click Options/Expiry.
Select Enable Auto Check and set it to 3 days.
6. Make sure the Server is running by clicking Actions and verify that you have a
tick mark at Start. Then minimize the Server.
This concludes the Server setup.
7. Open the Inbox program.

Click Tools/Options/Position Settings. Select Accept The Position From Sensor
Monitor. Click Ok.
Page 27 of 57
9. Click Tools/Options/Mailbase Path.
Click Browse and point to C:\Program Files\MARIS\Navtex\InBox. Click Ok.
This concludes the Inbox setup.
10. Share the folder C:\Program Files\MARIS\Navtex\InBox for full read/write access.
Sharing is needed in order to allow the other computers on the network to read
incoming messages.
11. Open ECDIS900 and check that incoming messages will close the Navtex book
on the acknowledge panel. A red Navtex book is also dropped at the ship’s
present position, or at the position of interest. This function can be turned on/off
in the box. Read the information by clicking the Navtex book on the acknowledge
panel or by r-clicking the icon on the chart.
4.4.2 Navtex Slave configuration.

1. Click My Computer/Tools/Map network drive…
Click Browse… and select the InBox folder on the ECDIS computer running
Navtex Server.
Place a tick mark in Reconnect at Logon. Click Finish.
You have now a direct access to this remote folder over the network.
Close all open windows, click My Computer again and verify that the remote
Inbox folder is listed under Network Drives.
2. On Navtex Inbox click Tools/Options/Position Settings. Select Accept The
Position From Sensor Monitor. Click Ok.
3. Click Tools/Options/Mailbase Path. Click Browse and select the network drive
you have just created in step 1. Click Ok.
This is crucial. If you do not point to the shared network folder on the computer
running Navtex Server nothing will show up.
This concludes the slave setup.

4.5 Radar overlay, version 4.1 and 4.2.

The radar overlay option consists of a PCI board, a breakout terminal block and a
connecting cable. Fit the terminal block on a DIN-rail. Connect the radar as shown in the
figures below. Only the most common radar types with single ended outputs, Furuno
and JRC, are listed here.
The PCI board is strapped for single ended radar and needs no configuration for
Furuno. JRC is different – see the figure and the text. For other radar types please read
the PC Radar Kit manual.
Fig. 13 Furuno FAR-2xxx radar
Page 29 of 57
Fig. 14 JRC JMA-9xxx
JRC radars have open collector outputs on Azimuth and Heading Marker. Fit pull-up
resistors as shown in the figure, or set the jumpers on the board as shown in the PC
Radar Kit manual.
Note:
It is extremely important to connect all ground pins
2, 3, 6, 11, 19 and Frame Ground
on the breakout terminal to the ship’s hull and to ground the chassis of the
ECDIS computer!
Improper grounding will impair or inhibit configuration and operation
of the radar overlay.
4.5.1 Install PC Radar Kit.

For ECDIS Radar Overlay do not install Radar2008 Client and Sensor Monitor.
Install Basic Applications, Documentation and Configure PC Radar Kit.
4.5.2 Setup and configuration.

Start Sensor Monitor. Verify it is in network mode.
Start the radar, 6NM.
Start Target Manager. Verify gyro, gps and log are detected. These signals come from
Sensor Monitor.
Start Extractor (VarpPci.exe). Click the unnamed button in the right side and select
Sensors Output. Verify gyro, gps and log are detected.
Page 30 of 57
Click Adjust Sync, click Universal Single Ended.

Set Azimuth Count (JRC = 2048, Furuno = 360, Kelvin Hughes = 90) and click Apply as
Actual.
Set Sync and Azimuth thresholds to 0 and click Set.
A value of 0 means auto detection. Watch Azimuth, Sync, PRF and RPM, they must be
stable and have reasonable values.
If this does not work, then set the threshold values manually.
The table AdjustETS may be handy, see next page. Try to find min and max values and
then select the middle value.
Note: The Heading Marker must be set manually; it is too slow for auto detection.
Do not proceed before Sync, Azimuth, PRF and RPM are stable on all radar ranges.
Failure to do so will lead to an unstable and useless radar overlay.
Click Show/Hide (starts PPI), Oscilloscope (starts A-scope) and Adjust Video and then
Auto Calibration.
On the window opened by Show/Hide tick Draw and untick DrawTrgts.
You can now watch the radar video being adjusted.
If Auto Calibration does not present an optimum image, then you need to do the settings
manually. Read the manual first to get a basic understanding.
The grass level must be kept as low as possible to prevent system overload by plotting
only noise. At the same time the main bang and the strongest echoes must have an
amplitude of 90-95 pct.
Watch the oscilloscope and the PPI when adjusting.
Start ECDIS900 and enable radar overlay.

Start Configure PC Radar Kit.
Adjust Trigger Delay and Heading Marker until the radar image aligns perfectly with the
chart.
Trigger Delay range is 0-4096, a good starting value is around 1000.
If you need a negative value to align correctly, you are using the wrong edge of the
trigger pulse. Go back to trigger configuration and change the setting.
Almost the same goes for the Heading Marker – or radar image orientation.
If it is way off, the HM is not positive going or vice versa. You are using the wrong edge
of the HM pulse. Go back to HM configuration and change the setting.
Most JRC radars have positive HM and most Furuno radars have negative HM.
Example:
A starboard misalignment of 3 deg is entered as 3.
A port misalignment of 3 deg is entered as 357.
After each change press Apply and Send To Extractor.
Configuration files can be found here:

4.8 Burning ghost disk.

By now you have a fully functional system with all software installed and configured.
The only thing remaining is the charts installation.
It is advisable to burn the ghost disk before installing the charts in order to minimize the
amount of data.
The ghost disk is an important one. It contains an exact image of the hard disk and may
very well be the last resort to recover from disaster, such as a failing hard disk.
Tips.
In order to reduce the size of data delete unnecessary files and restore points and
empty the recycle bin. If a utility program is installed to do the task, remember to
uninstall it before ghosting!
Only Norton Ghost 2003 is to be used.

As recording media DVDs are recommended.
4.9 Navigator’s nightmare – where is my data?

Yes, better safe than sorry.
Backup regularly your data by selecting Options/Backup. Data can be stored locally on
the hard disk or DVD drive, to an external USB drive or over the network to another
computer.

8.3 C-Map chart installation

C-Map charts are copy protected by dongles. 3 options are available:
1. eToken Pro Dongle (Legacy, old device).
2. eToken Pro Dongle (Java, new device).
3. No Hardware Protection (Software based dongle).
It is strictly necessary to use the correct option during installation in order to get eToken
and license properly installed.
The installation is done in 2 main steps:

• MARIS ECDIS installation, including Sentinel dongle driver.
• C-Map installation, eToken runtime first and then C-Map SDK runtime.
Page 49 of 57

8.4 More about UPS

The UPS is manufactured in two types.
• The change-over type.
• The always-on type.
The change-over type.

The change-over type has one advantage – it is cheap. That’s it.
It is manufactured in large quantities and the quality and stability are often doubtful.
Typically there are no supervisory circuits for battery condition.
If the power line is stable, as in your office, this type can be a candidate. When running
on a stable power line the power goes straight through the box. It is exactly like
powering your computer from the wall outlet.
In case the power disappears, a mechanical relay will operate and connect the output to
the inverter. The inverter is started, powered from the battery, and now supplies power
to the computer.
This takes time as a mechanical relay is involved, and for a short while there is no
supply to the computer.
The question of survival is entirely up to the design of the connected computer, as the
build-in capacitors must supply power for this period. If insufficient, the computer will
malfunction.
Running computers on a change-over type on ships is doomed to go wrong, because

there is no noise filtering, no protection of brownouts and no protection against drifting
frequency.
Figure 1 Block diagram of a change-over type UPS.
Page 53 of 57
The always-on type.

The always-on type has one disadvantage – it is expensive.
That said, the rest is just what we need.
A power line with fluctuating voltage or frequency and filled with noise is not a problem.
The output is a stable sinus curve; noise free 220 Vac on 50 or 60 Hz. The UPS can
even convert (and will do) frequencies in the range 40-70 HZ to 50 or 60 Hz, depending
on the setup. This is important on ships with propeller shaft generators.
Brownouts are dealt with in the same manner, and because no mechanical parts are
involved, there will be no power interruptions whatsoever.
Supervisory circuits for battery condition and operation are standard, and the battery will
even be tested under full load periodically without any need of operator intervention.
A worn-out battery will raise acoustic and visual alarms.
Figure 2 Block diagram of an always-on type UPS.
Two versions of the always-on type are available from MARIS, DnV approved.
