1.1 Introduction and system familiarization
Congratulations on your purchase of
SIMRAD CA42/50/52 DGPS
ChartRadar with Echosounder
- a combination of the latest GPS
receiver technology with built-in differential receiver for accurate
positioning and prepared for SDGPS, plus: detailed cartography and
high performance radar and echosounder technology; all in a unique
slim-line design with a 10” ATFT (CA42), 14” TFT (CA50), or 15”
TFT (CA52) large LCD display in color.
The CA42/50/52 chart system
includes a built-in world chart for
rough planning and overview. The choice of chart system best suitable
for the CA42/50/52 was carefully singled out to be the
C-MAP NT+
mini cards.
The optional C-MAP cards are available world-wide at
your local Simrad dealer.
The echosounder system
with selectable frequencies will provide an
impression of Bottom expansion, VRM expansion, A-scope and white
line.
The radar system
with dual EBL and VRM markers, direct Quick-
range keys, off-center mode, etc. together with Dual radar feature …
two radar displays in one screen, one for short range and one for long
distance observations.
The Global Positioning System
is at this time and age the most
common system used for navigation and positioning all over the world.
Not only for maritime use, but also for land-based applications and
aviation. The satellite-based system has been developed and is operated
by the US Department of Defense in order to provide an accurate and
reliable service, which include a 24-hour global coverage. The GPS
system consists of approx. 24 satellites which orbit around the Earth at
an altitude of approx. 20,200 km. The satellites transmit perfectly
synchronized data. However, depending on the position, the signals will
reach the receiver at a slightly different time. By adding the measured
time difference to the known position of the satellites it is possible to
calculate the ship’s position to within a few meters.
