[S57LOAD] window

Chart cell number

[No Base Cell available]

[Update number is too low]

[SENC CONVERT] window

After loading all charts desired, the chart conversion (from ENC to SENC) automatically starts.

8.At this time, the message [No Base Cell available] and chart cell numbers are displayed in the [S57 LOAD] window. Then, place the cursor on the [OK] button and press the [SELECT] key.

The chart CD-ROM contains all chart data, but there are some areas which the base charts cell (last three digits of chart number : 000) are not installed in the ECDIS. These chart cell numbers are displayed.

9. If the message [Update number is too low] and chart cell numbers are displayed in the [S57 LOAD] window, place the cursor on the [OK] button and press the [SELECT] key

This message means that the ECDIS does not update older version charts contained in the CD-ROM.

For example, if the lower three digits of the chart numbers are 001 to 028, 001 - 015 are not updated (not used) and 016 - 028 are updated.

The chart cell numbers to be updated are displayed in the [Conversion list] on the [SENC CONVERT] window. The chart is updated cell by cell from the top of the list. After the conversion has been completed, the chart numbers disappear from the window. Further the color of a chart cell frame changes to green when conversion of the cell is completed. The conversion may take 4 - 5 hours, depending on the quantity of chart numbers installed.

Furuno 2100, 2105 manual

2105, 2100 specifications

Furuno, a leading manufacturer in marine electronics, has a reputation for producing high-quality navigation and communication equipment. Two notable products in their lineup are the Furuno 2100 and 2105, both of which are advanced radar systems designed to enhance maritime safety and efficiency. These systems offer a comprehensive suite of features that cater to the needs of both professional and recreational mariners.

The Furuno 2100 is a powerful radar system equipped with a high-resolution display that provides clear and detailed imagery of the surrounding environment. It utilizes Furuno's advanced pulse compression technology, which enables the system to detect small targets and threats even in cluttered conditions. The high-definition radar imagery offers mariners the ability to distinguish between various objects, greatly improving situational awareness.

In contrast, the Furuno 2105 builds upon the robust features of the 2100 while adding enhanced capabilities. One of the standout characteristics of the 2105 is its dual-range function, allowing operators to monitor two different radar ranges simultaneously. This feature is invaluable during navigation, as it permits mariners to keep track of both immediate surroundings and distant targets without the need for constant adjustments.

Another noteworthy technology in both models is Furuno's Automatic Target Plotting Aid (ATPA), which intelligently tracks moving targets and provides crucial information about their speed and course. This automated system significantly reduces the workload on the operator, allowing them to focus on navigation and other critical tasks.

Additionally, both radar systems boast excellent weather resistance and ruggedness, making them suitable for challenging maritime environments. The displays are designed to minimize glare and enhance visibility, ensuring that mariners can access crucial information at a glance, irrespective of lighting conditions.

Integration is another key feature of the Furuno 2100 and 2105. Both models can be easily connected to a variety of navigation systems, allowing for streamlined operation and data sharing. This interconnectivity enhances the functionality of onboard systems, creating a cohesive and efficient navigation experience.

In summary, the Furuno 2100 and 2105 radar systems are exceptional tools for enhancing maritime safety and operational efficiency. With features like high-resolution displays, dual-range capabilities, and advanced target tracking technology, these systems stand out as reliable choices for mariners seeking top-tier navigational support. Whether for professional or recreational use, the Furuno 2100 and 2105 continue to set standards in marine radar technology.
