19.0.2 Cartridges

To check the C-CARD and its connector.

Internal Data Base Test

To test the WorldWideBackground.

C-CARD Test

To test the C-CARD. There are the possible situations:

1.if there is a C-CARD inserted in the slot and there is not a malfunction, the name of the C-CARD zone and the message "OK" are shown.

2.if there is a C-CARD inserted in the slot, but it is a defective C-CARD, the name of the C-CARD zone and the message "Faulty" are shown.

3.if there is not any C-CARD inserted in the slot, the message "not present" is shown.

4.if there is a User C-CARD inserted in the slot, the message USER C-CARD is shown.

C-CARD Connector

Indicates if there is a malfunction in the connector.

19.0.3 Serial Ports

If you are having problems receiving data from the position-finding instrument, this test should help determine the problem.

Change Parameters

To change the parameters of the serial interface. This menu allows to select the Port (Signal Source) between PORT 1, PORT 2, PORT 3 (PORT4 and PORT 5 ONLY FOR CPF300I); the Baud Rate between 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 38400, 115200; the Data Bits (Word Length) between 7 or 8, the Parity between even, odd or none, the Stop Bits between 1 or 2. Default settings are: Port = PORT 2, Baud Rate = 4800, Data Bits = 8, Parity = none, Stop Bits = 1.

Input Data Display

To allow the GPS Chart Plotter to act as a computer terminal and display the incoming data exactly as it is received.

If the data displayed on the screen are unrecognizable, you may have selected the wrong input parameters for your particular receiver, for example, Baud Rate 9600 instead of Baud Rate 4800. Check your receiver manual to be sure that you have selected the proper parameter. If the screen is blank, you may have a broken connection, and no data is being received or you may have connected the device to the other input port.

Use [ZOOM IN] to stop (or continue after pause) data displaying, [ENT] to show data in hex or ASCII mode (normal or small) and [CLR] to exit.

Loop-Back Test

This is a special test done during the production phase to check the serial ports integrity. A special connector is required.

CPF180I, CPF300I specifications

The Standard Horizon CPF300i and CPF180i are two advanced marine chart plotters designed to enhance the navigation experience for both recreational and professional boaters. These units combine cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features, making them a popular choice among marine enthusiasts.

The Standard Horizon CPF300i is equipped with a bright 10.4-inch display that ensures excellent visibility even in direct sunlight. It features a high-resolution color screen that presents detailed cartographic information clearly. The unit integrates advanced GPS technology, providing precise positioning that is crucial for navigating complex waterways. Additionally, it comes with built-in Wi-Fi, enabling users to share their data and download updates easily.

One key feature of the CPF300i is its capability to support multiple chart formats, including C-MAP and Navionics. This flexibility allows users to select the cartography that best suits their needs, ensuring they have access to the most up-to-date navigational information available. The CPF300i also supports radar overlay and fish finder integration, making it an excellent tool for fishing and safe navigation in various conditions.

On the other hand, the CPF180i offers a slightly smaller 7-inch display but does not compromise on functionality. This model is perfect for smaller vessels, maintaining a compact form factor while delivering essential navigational features. The CPF180i also incorporates GPS functionality, ensuring accurate positioning and helping mariners stay on course. Its intuitive user interface allows for easy operation, making it accessible even to less experienced users.

Both models feature a built-in AIS (Automatic Identification System) that increases safety by displaying the positions of nearby vessels. The AIS integration allows users to monitor traffic in busy waterways and avoid potential collisions. Additionally, both units support NMEA 2000 connectivity, enabling integration with other onboard systems such as engine data and autopilot control.

In summary, the Standard Horizon CPF300i and CPF180i are equipped with high-resolution displays, robust GPS technology, and multiple chart support. The CPF300i, with its larger screen and advanced features, is ideal for those needing comprehensive navigation solutions, while the CPF180i caters to users looking for a compact and efficient unit. Together, they represent a significant advancement in marine navigation technology, providing boaters with the tools they need to enhance their on-water experience.
