[. . . ] The Locked Heading page is displayed, as shown below. This page shows both the locked heading and the current heading. The steering bargraph allows you to see at a glance in which direction and how far you are straying from the locked heading, and take corrective action. If you wish to change the locked heading, you can use the Ù or Ú keys to increase or decrease its value. Press DEPTH to return to the previous Depth Chapter page, or press the SPEED or NAV key to display a different main page. For further information, refer to the "Locked Heading" section at the end of Chapter 6. D3064-1 24 RAYDATA Installation and Operation Handbook 3. 8 Man Overboard (MOB) If your RayData is connected via SeaTalk to other instruments with the facility to handle "man overboard" (MOB) calculations, you can send and cancel MOB warnings. Note that no waypoint data will be sent by the RayData. Sending an MOB Warning To send an MOB warning, press the DEPTH and SPEED keys together, as indicated by the MOB label on the RayData front panel. An audible alarm sounds (unless this has been disabled using the Setup option, as described in Chapter 4). If there is no MOB Master instrument on your SeaTalk system, the RayData screen will display the message "MOB NOT AVAILABLE". If an MOB Master on the SeaTalk system responds, the audible alarm stops and an MOB page such as the following is displayed: This shows the location and distance of the MOB point you need to steer towards, together with a steering bargraph. It is a special version of the Waypoint/Bearing/Distance page (see page 56). The MOB page is also displayed if a SeaTalk MOB message is received from other instruments. Note: Certain models of Raymarine chart plotters will respond to an MOB warning from the RayData, and track to the MOB location, but will not return the data for the RayData to display. The message "MOB NOT AVAILABLE" will be displayed until you cancel the MOB. D3071-1 Chapter 3: Getting Started 25 Cancelling an MOB Warning To cancel an MOB warning, press and hold the DEPTH and SPEED keys for one second. The MOB information is cleared and the display reverts to the Waypoint/Bearing/Distance page. The MOB warning will also be cancelled if an appropriate message is received from another instrument via the SeaTalk connection. 3. 9 Key Functions The five keys have the following main functions: · NAV (POWER) is used to: - Turn the RayData on and off - Access the Nav Chapter of display pages, if the RayData is receiving navigation data via the SeaTalk and/or NMEA connection · DEPTH (LIGHTS) is used to: - Access the Depth Chapter of display pages, which include depth and temperature displays and alarm controls - Control the lighting and contrast level for the screen, and the lighting level for the keys · SPEED is used to: - Access the Speed Chapter of display pages, which include speed and log displays - In combination with DEPTH, send/cancel an MOB warning · Ú and Ù are used as follows: - Ù to move forwards through the available sub-pages, increase a value, or move forwards through setup options - Ú to move backwards through the available sub-pages, decrease a value, or scroll backwards through setup options Ú and Ù together to perform operations such as lock/unlock the heading, reset a value or make a selection The key functions, including the combination key-press functions, are detailed in the table in Appendix A. 26 RAYDATA Installation and Operation Handbook Chapter 4: Setup and Calibration 27 Chapter 4: Setup and Calibration 4. 1 Introduction This chapter explains how to set up the defaults for your RayData. These control the way in which information is displayed on the RayData, such as the numerical units used and the time format. If you change any of these, the new defaults will remain set, even if the power is disconnected, unless you perform a factory reset as described in Chapter 7. You should set up and calibrate your RayData as soon as possible after installation. Changing the defaults at a later date may have unexpected results: for example, if you change the distance units from nautical miles to kilometres after travelling 50nm, the log recording the total distance travelled will then read 50km. This chapter covers the following topics: · Using the Setup pages · Setup options · Speed calibration Note: As it leaves the factory, the RayData is set to Master for depth, speed and temperature data: that is, it is set up to receive data from directly connected speed and depth transducers (or, if there are no directly-connected transducers, from NMEA). If the RayData is being used as a Repeater for SeaTalk depth, speed and temperature data, you must specify this in the setup procedure, otherwise this data will not be displayed. Note: When repeating speed and depth information from NMEA, the calibration values, alarms and depth offset have no effect. 28 RAYDATA Installation and Operation Handbook 4. 2 Using the Setup Pages To access the Setup pages, press NAV and Ù together. [. . . ] When running cables, consider the following: · Avoid running cables through bilges, and secure any coiled lengths at regular intervals. · Avoid running cables close to fluorescent lights, engines, radio transmitting equipment etc. · Check cabling for chafing or damage to outer casing, replace where necessary and re-secure.
