XTE Alarm

: Alerts when the vessel is deviating from a defined course. Available selections: 0.00 to

 

 

9.99NM.

 

Depth Alarm

: Alerts when the received depth Value from the optional FF520 50/200kHz BLACK BOX

 

 

FISH FINDER or Depth Finder inputting NMEA data into the GPS Chart Plotter is lower than

 

 

the selected value. Available selections: 0000 to 3000 FT.

 

Anchor Alarm

: Alerts when the ships moves off a selected locations by a selected distance. Available

 

 

selections: 0.00 to 9.99NM.

 

Audible Alarm

: Enables or disables the alarm beep.

 

Grounding Alarm

: This function looks ahead of the vessels heading to see if a potential danger exists. When

 

 

the Grounding Alarm is enabled the GPS Chart Plotter will draw a triangle in front of the vessel

 

 

on the Chart page showing the area that is being searched as shown below. The depth and

 

 

range (distance) of the area the GPS Chart Plotter looks ahead for a shallow area can be set

 

 

using this function.

Grounding Alarm Range : This function allows setting the distance of the grounding alarm zone (the length of the sector to be detected) among the 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 Nm selections. When a depth or any of the searched objects is found in the scanned area, a tick marker is printed on the relative box in the Grounding Alarm Report page to identify which dangerous objects have been currently detected.

Grounding Alarm Report: This function allows displaying a report of the dangerous objects currently detected.

The following warning appears when the Grounding Alarm is enabled:

NOTES

The Grounding Alarm function only operates with the new NT+/MAX C-CARDs. It also affects the speed of the redraw of the screen. If this function is not used it may be disabled.

When any of the objects checked are found for the first time, the GPS Chart Plotter shows a pop up window to alert the user of the possible danger. The name of each new dangerous object found is reported in the warning window. In the Grounding Alarm Report page the relative item has a tick marker next to it, to identify the dangerous object currently detected. If in the next search cycle the same objects are found again, the alarm window will not be shown. Instead, if in the next searches the objects found before are no longer detected, their relevant item in the Grounding Alarm Report page is cleared (note that in this case, if the same object type is found again later, the Alarm will be shown). The GPS Chart Plotter shows an icon on the charts that identifies when a Grounding Alarm is detected.

The built-in Simulator function allows you to become proficient in the use of the GPS Chart Plotter.

Simulation Mode

: Three selections:

 

a. Off - turn the simulation mode off

 

b. On - enable the simulator mode, where the speed and course are adjusted by

 

entering in values in the Course and Speed selection discussed later in this table.

 

c. Route - this selection allows you to navigate to a saved route.

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.
