13. ADVANCED SETTINGS

The Advanced Setup menu allows customization of many GPS functions, Alarms and NMEA interfacing.

1.Press [MENU]. Move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight SETUP MENU and press [ENT].

2.Move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight ADVANCED SETUP and press [ENT] or move the ShuttlePoint knob to the right.

While in this menu you will see many selections which are described in the next sections.

13.0INPUT/OUTPUT (NMEA)

The CPF180i has 1 NMEA input and 2 NMEA outputs and the CPF300i has 3 inputs and 3 output connections.

These ports may be set up to receive and output the following.

·NMEA-0183 - NMEA devices set to 4800 Baud (default setting)

·C-Com - C-Weather refer to Section 15

·Radar - Sitex optional Radar refer to Radar Owner’s Manual

·AIS38400 - AIS Receiver, refer to Section 14

·Mobilarm - Mobil-arm receiver, refer to Section 16

·Disabled - allow the port to be disabled.

NOTE

When a port is configured, both the input and output have the same setting.

Radar is Port 1 is set to Radar, both the input and output wires are set to Sitex proprietary Radar sentences. This means other devices should not be connected to the input or output wires.

13.1NAVIGATE

The Navigate Menu allows customization of the Coordinate System (Loran TD's), Map Datum, Map Orientation Resolution (angle the vessel has to change before the chart is redrawn) and Static Navigation. See the following table

Coordinate System

: Selections are:

 

a. TD: Loran TD (see the following Par. 13.1.0)

 

b. UTM: Universal Transverse Mercator Grid

 

c. ddd mm.mmm:Degrees Minutes and Thousands of Minutes

 

d. ddd mm.mm: Degrees Minutes and Hundredths of Minutes

 

e. ddd mm.ss: Degrees Minutes and Seconds (default)

Map Datum

: Allows selection of Map Datums. The default Datum is WGS84 as C-MAP BY JEPPESEN

 

cartography has been compiled using the WGS84 Datum. A datum is a mathematical

 

model of the Earth which approximates the shape of the Earth, and enables calculations

 

such as position and area to be carried out in a consistent and accurate manner.

Map Orientation Resolution: Sets the angle the vessel has to change before the chart is redrawn. The default setting is 30 degrees. Example: if the vessel is heading 000T at a speed of 25 Knots, the display will redraw:

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.
