ESeries Networked Display Reference Manual
WARNING:Fishfinder sounder module
Removing the transducer cable from the rear of the fishfinder
sounder module whilst it is switched on can cause sparks. Only
remove the transducer cable after power has been switched off.
Ensure that the sounder module is mounted where it is well
ventilated and in an area free from flammable vapors.
CAUTION: Water Ingress
To prevent the ingress of water and consequent damage to the display,
ensure that the chart card door is firmly closed. This can be confirmed by an
audible click.
CAUTION: CompactFlash Cards
• Removing the CompactFlash card whilst information is being written to
or read from it may cause damage to the card and loss of all data. Use the
proper procedure detailed on page 20 to remove the card.
• Only one CompactFlash card per display can be used at any one time.
• Do not save data (waypoints, routes etc.) to a Navionics card as the charts
may be overwritten. When archiving use a different CompactFlash card.
• DO NOT use a metallic instrument such as a screwdriver or pliers to help you
remove a card, as doing this can cause irreparable damage.
CAUTION: Global Positioning System Antenna
Do not connect or disconnect the GPS antenna from the display unit whilst
power is switched on. Doing this may result in irreparable damage.
CAUTION: UV Light
To provide protection against the damaging effects of UV light, it is advisable
to replace the sun cover provided when the display is not in use.
CAUTION: Cleaning the display
Take care when cleaning the display, to avoid damaging it:
(1) Do NOT wipe the display screen with a dry cloth, as this could scratch
the screen coating.
(2) Do NOT use acid, ammonia based or abrasive products.

2.7 Using CompactFlash cards
Cautions
CAUTION: CompactFlash Card Installation
When installing CompactFlash cards ensure that the card is fitted the correct
way around. DO NOT try to force the card into position as this may result in
irreparable damage to the card.
CAUTION: Water Ingress
To prevent the ingress of water and consequent damage to the display,
ensure that the chart card door is firmly closed at all times. This can be
confirmed by an audible click.
CAUTION: Card Removal
DO NOT use a metallic instrument such as a screwdriver or pliers to help you
remove a card, as doing this can cause irreparable damage.
CAUTION: Card writing
CompactFlash cards can be damaged if they are removed from the unit
during either a read or write operation. A warning is displayed during write
operations. The unit is continually reading the card. It is therefore essential
that before removing the card you follow the correct procedure to stop
access to the card.
What are CompactFlash cards used for?
CompactFlash cards enable you to get the most from your display. Their uses include:
• Detailed cartographic information
Obtain detailed cartographic information of the area that you navigate using Nav
ionics® chart cards. To check the current availability of Navionics chart card types,
please visit www.navionics.com or www.navionics.it.
The amount of cartographic detail shown varies for different areas and for differ
ent scales. The chart scale in use is indicated in the status bar  the number repre
sents the distance in nautical miles from the top of the chart window to the
bottom of the chart window.
• Archiving
To archive waypoints, routes and tracks.
• Saving
To save waypoint, route and track data for use by other equipment e.g. a PC.
You can remove and insert cards while a chart is displayed provided that you follow the
correct procedure (see page 20). The chart information is retained onscreen until the
chartplotter redraws the screen; for example, when you pan outside the current area,
or use the RANGE button to change the chart scale.
Note: In a networked system, cartographic data is available to any ESeries display
connected on the SeaTalk High Speed network. However, the ARCHIVE and TRANSFER
functions only operate with the card inserted in the display at which you are working.
20

Managing data
This section explains how you can manage the data contained in your ESeries and
includes the following:
• Writing/retrieving to a CF card.
• Erasing information from a card.
• Erasing information from your system.
• Transferring information to/from a PC.
• Password protection.
Writing/retrieving data to a CompactFlash card
Your display can save up to 1,200 waypoints, 150 routes and 10 tracks in data base
lists. Once this number is reached you will need to archive data to a CompactFlash card
for safekeeping or retrieval at a later date. Alternatively, you can transfer data to
another instrument or PC using SeaTalkhs or NMEA. When navigation is active, you can
also receive waypoints, routes and tracks from a PC, other SeaTalkhs, SeaTalk and
NMEA instruments (see page 25).
Note: In a networked ESeries system, you archive to and retrieve data from the Com
pactFlash card in the display on which you are working.

Raymarine strongly recommend therefore that you regularly backup your waypoints,
routes and tracks to a CF memory card.
2.9 Operating a networked ESeries Display
What does a networked system do?
If you have connected two or more ESeries Displays (via either a crossover coupler or
SeaTalk High Speed Network Switch), data is transferred across the network enabling
you to input, view and maintain applications and data across all your Displays
irrespective of the Display from which the data originated (excepting Video Input).
To ensure that the latest data i.e. SeaTalk data and waypoints, routes and tracks
databases is available at all displays, the system needs one display to be designated as
the data master.
Controlling a network
System data including usercreated databases are managed by the data master. The
display that has been installed and nominated as the master, should always be
switched on (preferably first). The master display will copy its database to all other
Displays that are switched on, each time it detects a change.
If the system does not detect a master, either because it is not switched on or because
a master has not been selected, an alarm will sound and you will be prompted to select
a master display.
Note: The data master copies its database to all other displays in the system. To pre
vent loss of data when adding displays, or changing the master, ensure that you select
the appropriate display as the master. You can archive the database onto a Compact
Flash card and retrieve it later.
Changing the master display
On the display that you wish to nominate as the master:
1. Display the System Setup menu:
Setup
MENU
Radar Setup...
GPS Status...
Compass Setup...

Enter System Setup
2. Select the System Integration then Data Master option:

Functions only affecting the display in use
The majority of functions, settings, additions and changes that you perform on a single
Display are ‘seen’ by all other Displays connected to your network. There are however
some local settings that will only affect the individual display on which you are
working.
These local settings are summarized as follows:
• Page set  selecting a set, name and applications configuration.
• Power on/off key (including Day/night setting).
• The ACTIVE window.
• The displayed panel in the digital data or engine monitoring application.
• Radar and Fishfinder presentation settings.
• Radar VRMs, EBLs and Wakes.
• Chart presentation settings when the Chart View is set to LOCAL.
• Show/hide waypoints, routes or tracks.
• Fishfinder Setup Menu options (top half of menu only).
• Video, Databar and Display Setup Menus.
• Databar on/off and configuration.
• Ruler settings.

Emergencies and warnings
You can use your ESeries display to mark the position of a man overboard or to sound
an alarm when a particular situation occurs e.g when a depth limit is reached, a
specified period of time has elapsed etc.

D6652-3
2.10
ESeries Networked Display Reference Manual
If you lose a person or object overboard, and need to return to the location, you should
use the Man Overboard (MOB) function immediately. The MOB function can be used
whilst any application is in use and is activated by either pressing and holding the
WPTS/MOB key for three seconds, or by a MOB message being received from other
equipment on the SeaTalk system.
When a MOB is activated the following is initiated automatically:
• Alarm  the MOB alarm is triggered (Morse  every 30 seconds)
• Waypoint  a MOB waypoint is placed at your current position.
• Positional information  the bearing, range and vessel position are displayed in
the data bar. These are calculated according to the MOB data type set in the System
SetUp (see page 228). Assuming that your boat and the MOB are subject to the
same tide and wind effects, dead reckoning normally gives a more accurate course.
• Radar range change  if radar is transmitting, the system changes the radar
range to 1/8 nm.
• Active navigation is suspended  Navigation to any active waypoint is sus
pended and any existing navigation function is cancelled. No further GOTO or route
functions are selectable whilst the MOB function is active.
• Autorange motion mode  If radar/chart synchronisation is set to OFF (see
page 84), the chart application changes the motion mode to Autorange. This dis
plays the largest possible scale of chart that will include both the target waypoint
(MOB symbol) and your onscreen vessel.
• Other equipment  other Raymarine equipment acknowledges the MOB.
• Current position to MOB position  as your vessel moves away from the MOB
position, a dotted line is displayed from your current position to the MOB position.
Note: To obtain a MOB position, you need either position data from a GPS (or equiva
lent device) or heading and speed data.

Silencing a MOB
To temporarily silence the alarm from a MOB, press any key on any instrument on the
SeaTalk system. After approximately 10 seconds the alarm will sound once more if the
state of MOB is still active.
Silencing an alarm will not deactivate or clear the MOB state.
Clearing a MOB
To clear a MOB and its data:
Press and hold
for 4 seconds
D8231_1
WPTS
MOB
Once cleared, your chart and radar
applications will return to the motion
mode that applied prior to the MOB
alarm and the GOTO and route functions
will once more be available.
Note: Alternately if you have a MOB key
pad fitted, press and hold the MOB key.
Alarms
You get warning of a hazard or a particular situation via inbuilt alarms which are
generated for the system as a whole or for individual applications. When an alarm
sounds, a message box is displayed explaining the cause of the alarm.
You can specify what alarms will operate and the parameters within which they will
sound, via the Alarm Setup Menu (see page 232).
Cancelling alarms
Display alarms
By pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE soft key, the alarm is silenced and any message box is
cleared. If the alarm has been generated by the chartplotter, the appropriate action is
taken. For example, following an arrival alarm, the next route leg is activated.
Please note:
• Although you can change the configuration of the arrival alarm, it cannot be turned
off.
• To cancel a MOB alarm, press and hold the WPTS/MOB until the MOB symbol dis
appears from the screen.
• If an anchor alarm is silenced, but the alarm condition persists, the alarm is
repeated every 30 seconds
External alarms
If an instrument that is connected to the display on SeaTalk generates alarms, these
will sound on your ESeries display accompanied by a popup message box. You can
cancel these alarms by pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE soft key. The alarm will be
silenced, but no other action will be taken by the ESeries display.

Chapter 3: Working with Waypoints
This chapter gives details of how to place, edit, manage and navigate to a waypoint.
What is a waypoint?
A waypoint is a position marked on a chart, radar or fishfinder window to indicate a
site (for fishing, diving etc.) or as a place to navigate to. By default, all waypoints are
indicated on screen by a waypoint symbol  x. This symbol can however be changed if
you wish. You can also select an alternative symbol to be used as the default for newly
created waypoints.
Waypoint symbols
D8696_1
3.1
Note: For details of how to change the symbol, please refer to page 39.
Waypoints are a core feature of the Eseries display. They can be created in any
application and are displayed on the radar, chart and fishfinder windows. A series of
waypoints can be combined together to form a route. If you have networked several E
Series Displays, any waypoints that are created on one display are ‘seen’ by all the
other displays.
The details of all waypoints, irrespective of the application they were created in, are
stored in a dedicated waypoint list which will hold up to 1200 waypoints. All waypoints
are by default, placed in the MY WAYPOINTS group. If required, you can create new
groups and change the default group. If necessary, waypoints can be archived to a
CompactFlash card or transferred to another NMEA compatible instrument. If the
system receives an active waypoint over SeaTalk or NMEA, it is displayed but cannot be
edited.
If required, you can prevent access to, modification and sight of your waypoint and

How are waypoints represented?
Waypoints on 2D Chart and Radar windows
On 2D chart and radar windows, a waypoint is represented when it is both active
(displayed in a box) and inactive (no box) i.e.
Default waypoint
Active waypoint
Alternative symbol
D8694_1
Waypoint 1
Waypoints on 3D Chart and CDI windows
D8698_1
On 3D chart and CDI windows, a waypoint is represented only when it is active
(displayed in a box).
Waypoints on Fishfinder windows
When a waypoint is created it is represented on fishfinder windows, by a vertical line
labelled WPT. This symbology cannot be changed.

Placing a waypoint
A waypoint can be placed at:
• The cursor position.
• Your vessel’s position.
• At a position of your choosing (using lat/lon or Loran TD coordinates between 80
N/S).
When you are placing a waypoint, you can either accept the default or customize its
details. For more information see page 38.
Once a waypoint has been placed, you can view its details and edit them (if necessary).
For more information, see page 37 and page 38.

Navigating to a waypoint
This section explains how to start and stop navigating to a waypoint. When you
navigate to a waypoint or to the cursor position, the data is sent on NMEA 0183 and
SeaTalk and can be used by an autopilot, if connected. For more information on
navigation, see page 64.
Start navigating to a waypoint
D8285_1
You can navigate to a waypoint using the cursor, via the
WPTS MOB button or by selecting the GOTO option.
Once navigation is active, the waypoint symbol is
surrounded by a box and a dashed line appears between
your boat and the waypoint.
If required you can display navigation details for the
active waypoint in the data bar (see page 224).

unboxed state and the dashed line between your boat and the waypoint is removed.
Viewing waypoint information
You can view the details of any waypoint that you have placed, by either selecting it
with the cursor (in radar and chart windows) or by selecting it on the waypoint list.
Once you are viewing a waypoint’s details, a variety of editing and managing options
are available.
You can also display navigation details for the active waypoint in the data bar (see
page 224).
