Weather application pre-requisites
Before you can use the weather application you need to:
•
Obtain a Sirius ID number. (For full details, see the Sirius Installation handbook.)
•
Customize a page set to include a weather application.
•
Specify the weather elements that you wish to display.
•
For the G-Series system to display weather data, it must be
connected to an SR100 Sirius Receiver which is supplying the
appropriate data.
•
For your vessel to be displayed and for weather reports to be
available at your position, you need a fix for your boat’s position
and be within range of Sirius satellites.

Auto mode: recommended
The scanner setup option lets you customize various aspects of the
scanner’s behavior.
In AUTO mode, the radar tunes itself automatically on all range
scales.
Dual range
This is the default mode and it is recommended that you leave the
tune function in auto mode to ensure that the radar receiver is
always tuned to receive the maximum signal.
If dual range is set to on, the system allows you to view two ranges
simultaneously in one window.
Short range gives you a maximum range of 3 nautical miles; long
range provides standard ranges.

Manual (MAN) mode
Radar alarms
If you do set the tune function to MANUAL, you will need to adjust it
about 10 minutes after you have turned on the radar, since the
required setting will change after the magnetron has warmed up.
For information about the radar-specific alarms you can configure,
see Alarm Setup Menu on page 194.
Note: Until you are familiar with interpreting the radar display, take
every opportunity to compare the radar display with your
physical surroundings. Note the location of boats, buoys and
coastal structures and their corresponding echoes on the
radar display. Practice harbor and coastal navigation during
daylight hours and in clear weather conditions.
Adjust the control to obtain the maximum signal strength (indicated
by the eight-step horizontal bar). If you cannot tune the radar successfully, refer to the Installation Guide.
Sea clutter curve
Adjust the system’s sensitivity to sea clutter. The steepest setting is
1 and the shallowest is 8. The default setting is 4.
Parking offset
The default parking offset is 0 degrees: the scanner aligns with the
pedestal, facing forwards.
With parking offset selected you can use the rotary controller to
adjust the parking offset from 0 to 358 degrees in steps of two
degrees.
This setting change is only available when the digital radar is set to
Off or Standby. The changes you make are applied at the end of the
next transmit cycle.
To open the radar setup menu
1. Make a radar application window active.
2. Press the MENU button.

Not all radar echoes are produced by valid targets. Spurious echoes may be caused by:

Chapter 11: Radar
•
Side lobes
Indirect echoes
•
Indirect echoes
•
Multiple echoes
•
Blind sectors
There are several types of indirect echoes, or ‘ghost’ images.
These sometimes have the appearance of true echoes, but in general they are intermittent and poorly defined.
•
Sea, rain or snow clutter
•
Interference
False echo
True echo
True echo
Through observation, practice, and experience, you can generally
detect these conditions very quickly and use the radar controls to
minimize them.
Passing
ship
Side lobe patterns are produced by small amounts of energy from
the transmitted pulses that are radiated outside the narrow main
beam.
The effects of side lobes are most noticeable with targets at short
range (normally below 3 nm) and with large objects. Side lobe echoes form either arcs on the radar screen similar to range rings, or a
series of echoes forming a broken arc.
False echo
Multiple echoes
Multiple echoes are uncommon but can occur if there is a large
object with a wide vertical surface at a comparatively short range.
The transmitted signal bounces between the object and your own
vessel, producing multiple echoes. The false echoes are displayed
beyond the range of the true target echo, but on the same bearing.

Side lobes
Obstructions such as funnels and masts near the radar antenna
can obstruct the radar beam and cause radar shadows or ‘blind
sectors’.
132
These returns sometimes appear as large hazy areas, depending
on the intensity of the rainfall or snow in the storm cell.
If the obstruction is relatively narrow, there will be a reduction of the
beam intensity, though not necessarily a complete cut-off. However,
with wider obstructions there can be a total loss of signal in the
shadow area. There might also be multiple echoes which extend
behind the obstruction.
Blind sector effects can normally be minimized by careful selection
of the scanner site prior to installation.
Sea clutter
D3967-4
Radar returns from waves around the vessel can clutter the centre
of the radar picture, making it difficult to detect real targets. Such
‘sea clutter’ usually appears as multiple echoes on the display at
short range, and the echoes are not repetitive or consistent in
position.
In high winds or extreme conditions, sea clutter can produce an
almost solid disc on a radar display.
Mutual radar interference
D3968-4
This can occur when two or more radar-equipped vessels are operating within range of each other. The interference usually appears
as a spiral of small dots from the display centre, and is most
marked at long ranges.
Rain or snow clutter
Radar detects rain and snow. Returns from storm areas and rain
squalls consist of countless small echoes which continually change
in size, intensity and position.

Your position
may be a mountain several miles inland from the coastline. Although the coastline may be much nearer, it may not appear on
the radar until the vessel is closer to shore.
By default your boat is shown at the centre of the radar display and
your dead-ahead bearing is indicated by a vertical line known as
the Ship’s Heading Marker (SHM).
•
Some targets, such as buoys and small boats, can be difficult to
discern, because they do not present a consistent reflecting
surface as they bob about in the waves. Consequently, these
echoes tend to behave erratically on the radar screen.
•
Buoys and small boats often resemble each other, but boats
can often be distinguished by their motion.
•
Trees and shrubbery do not reflect radar. Thus, they can disguise the shape of nearby land.
Operation modes
The radar gives excellent results in one of the four preconfigured
operation modes under the GAIN softkey. Select the mode that
best suits your circumstances: attempting to make manual adjustments to the settings could degrade your image. (However, this
facility is available.)
11.5 Using waypoints with the radar
See page 140 for more information.
You can use waypoints in the radar application for navigation (just
like in the chart application), using the WPTS/MOB button.
Other vessels or objects
You can also edit waypoints from within the radar application.
On-screen targets may be large, small, bright or faint, depending
on the size of the object, its orientation and surface type.
For full details on using waypoints, see Chapter 4:Using Waypoints
on page 35 and Chapter 5:The Chart Application on page 43.
Remember that the strength of an object’s echo may not be proportional to the physical size of the object. For example, a nearby
object might produce an echo of the same strength as a more distant, but larger, object.
With experience, the approximate size of different objects can be
determined by the relative size and brightness of the echoes.
Factors affecting echo strength
•
The physical size of the reflecting object.
•
The material from which the object is made. Metallic surfaces
reflect signals better than non-metallic.
•
Vertical surfaces, like cliffs, reflect the radar signal better than
sloping surfaces, like sandbanks.
•
High coastlines and mountainous coastal regions can be observed at longer radar ranges. Therefore, the first sight of land

If you select a new course, the picture will reset to display the new
course upwards.
You can specify whether the boat is fixed in the centre of the window (0 offset) or offset by 1/3 or 2/3:
The reference used for Course-Up depends upon the information
available at a given time. The system prioritizes this information in
the following order:
Bearing from origin to destination (your intended course).
Locked heading from an Autopilot.
Bearing to waypoint.
Instantaneous heading.
If heading data becomes unavailable while in this mode a warning
message is displayed; the status bar puts Course-Up in brackets to
show it is suspended; and the radar uses 0° heading in relative
motion mode.
0 offset
2/ offset
The default vessel-offset value is zero.
When heading data becomes available again, Course-Up mode is
reinstated.
True Motion (TM)
When the motion mode is set to True, fixed radar targets maintain a
constant position and moving vessels (including your boat) travel in
true perspective to each other and to fixed landmasses on the
screen. As the boat’s position approaches the edge of the screen,
the radar picture is automatically reset to reveal the area ahead of
the boat.

Gain presets
Rain clutter
There are four preset gain modes to give you the best picture in different circumstances.
Harbor is the default mode. This setting takes account of land clutter so that smaller targets, like navigation buoys, are not lost.
Radar detects echoes from rain or snow. The strength of these echoes depends upon the altitude, range, density and size of the snow
flakes or rain droplets and appear on screen as countless small
echoes continuously changing size, intensity and position.
Coastal accounts for the slightly higher levels of sea clutter you
might encounter out of harbor and adjusts the radar display
accordingly.
Turning the RAIN clutter function on suppresses the bulk effect of
rain returns from around your boat, so that recognizing other
objects is easier.
Offshore automatically adjusts for high levels of sea clutter.
Sea clutter
Buoy is a special mode to enhance the detection of small objects
like mooring buoys. It is useful at ranges up to 3/4 nm.
Radar echoes from waves around your boat can clutter the centre
of the radar picture, making it difficult to detect real targets (see
page 131).
Manually adjusting gain
Adjusting the sea mode will reduce this clutter for up to 5 nautical
miles (depending on wave and sea conditions) from your boat. This
reduces sea echoes to intermittent small dots, while small targets
remain visible and persistent. Gain levels further from your boat
remain unchanged.
The gain function makes the radar picture clearer by changing the
sensitivity of radar reception.
•
For long ranges select a sensitivity level that gives a slight
speckle in the background. Setting the gain too low can cause
weak or small targets to disappear, however.
•
For shorter ranges reduce the gain slightly to reduce speckle
and improve target definition.
Note: If you control gain manually, check it each time you change
the range scale.
Super HD adjustments
You can generally use the default AUTO settings for best results,
but two manual controls allow you to explore Super HD’s
capabilities.
To manually adjust gain settings
1. Press the GAIN softkey.
2. Press the ADJUST softkey for the preset mode you are in.
3. Select manual on the GAIN softkey.
Antenna boost
This scales the effective antenna size. At zero, the effective
antenna size matches its actual size. At 95, the effective antenna
size is doubled.
The changes you make are applied to both the active window and
any other radar windows displaying this preset. Gain setting
changes are kept at system power-off.
Increasing effective antenna size has the effect of separating targets that appear merged at lower settings.
141
Chapter 11: Radar
In some circumstances, a larger effective scanner can be a drawback. In particular, if you are in a harbor or close to land, you may
see more detail than is useful.
For that reason, the AUTO settings for Harbor and Coastal modes
provide lower scale factors of about 30% and 60%.
Power boost
This adjusts effective transmit power. At zero, the radar operates at
its standard power (4kW or 12kW). At 90, the effective power is
increased by a factor of at least two.
Increasing power has the effect of making targets more distinct
from noise. For maximum benefit, reduce gain to prevent saturation
of strong targets.
The default power boost setting for all AUTO modes is 90.

There are certain conditions under which acquiring a target may
become difficult. Some of those conditions are:
OFF, 0.5 min, 1 min, 3 min, 6 min
•
The target echo is weak.
•
The target is very close to land, buoys or other large targets.
•
The target or your own ship is making rapid manoeuvres.
•
Choppy sea state conditions exist and the target is buried in excessive sea clutter or in deep swells.
•
Choppy sea state conditions exist yielding poor stability.
•
Inadequate heading data exists.
Symptoms of such conditions are that acquisition is difficult and the
MARPA vectors are unstable; the symbol wanders away from the
target, locks on to the wrong target or changes to a lost symbol
target.
If any of these conditions are present, acquisition and tracking may
need to be re-initiated or, in some cases be impossible to maintain.
Improving the quality of the heading data will reduce the effect of
the other conditions.

Each target tracked can be displayed with a CPA graphic which
shows the target vessel, course and speed (as a vector) and indicates the CPA. The calculated target data can also be shown on
your screen. Each target is continually assessed and an audible
alarm is sounded if a target becomes dangerous, or is lost.
MARPA targets
D6810_4
Effective MARPA operation is dependant on accurate own-ship’s
heading and speed. Speed Over Ground (SOG) and Course Over
Ground (COG) information are required to show true target course
and speed. The better the quality of the heading and speed data,
the better MARPA will perform. MARPA will function without SOG
and COG in relative mode. For the best heading data a Raymarine
SMART heading sensor or a gyro-stabilized autopilot is required.
Risk assessment
Each target is monitored to see if it will be within a certain distance
from your boat within a certain time. If so, the target is designated
as dangerous and an audible warning is sounded along with an onscreen warning being shown. The target symbol changes to the
dangerous target symbol and flashes to indicate that it is a dangerous target. Pressing the appropriate soft key will silence the alarm
and remove the warning.
Closest point of approach
Closest point-of-approach (CPA) graphics show vectors for your
vessel and a selected target. (A vector is a line showing a predicted
course.) Vector length varies with speed (settings can be changed
in the MARPA Setup Menu).
If a target is lost, either because the MARPA software has lost contact with it, or because it has moved out of range, an audible alarm
is sounded and an on-screen warning appears. The on-screen
symbol will change to the target lost symbol. Pressing the appropriate soft key will silence the alarm and remove the on-screen
warning and the target lost symbol.

The Automatic Identification System (AIS) provides safety features when you are at sea.
On the G-Series system, AIS is overlaid on a chart or radar widow. It provides:
•
Heading, speed and rate of turn data for nearby AIS-equipped vessels.
•
A ‘safe zone’ around your boat.
•
Alarms and safety messages.

12.1 Background
The following information can be transmitted by a Class A AIS
system:
AIS broadcasts information between vessels and shore-based stations on VHF frequencies in the maritime band. This information is
used to provide fast, automatic and accurate collision-avoidance
data. AIS augments the radar application. It can operate in radar
blind spots and can detect smaller (AIS-equipped) vessels than
radar can.
AIS does not replace radar, because it is unable to detect land or
navigation beacons.
•
Static data: ship name, type, MMSI number, call sign, IMO
number, length, beam and GPS antenna location.
•
Voyage data: draft, cargo, destination, ETA, other relevant
information.
•
Dynamic data: time, position, COG, SOG, gyro heading, rate of
turn, navigational status.
•
Dynamic reports: speed and status.
•
Messages: alarm and safety.
12.2 System requirements
WARNING
To use AIS, you need:
Product installation
•
AIS unit: either a receive-only or full transceiver device.
Smaller vessels do not have to be fitted with AIS, and
although it is mandatory for larger commercial vessels to
use AIS, do not assume that they all do. Always exercise
due prudence and judgement.
•
VHF antenna
AIS complements radar, it is not a radar substitute.
For the NMEA port that communicates with the AIS transceiver
unit, specify a baud rate of 38,400 (see page 188).
12.3 System settings
Classes of AIS data
12.4 AIS setup
AIS data is defined as Class A or Class B. The sending and receiving of Class A data is compulsory for larger vessels. You will
therefore be able to view all larger vessels on your AIS display.
The AIS Layer Setup Menu allows you to:
•
Select target types displayed (ALL or DANGEROUS).
•
Switch AIS safety messages on or off.
•
View the list of active AIS alarms.
Not all AIS receivers will decode all information and not all of the
Class A vessels input all of the required AIS data. For example,
some inexpensive AIS Class B receivers do not decode and output
the ship’s name, IMO number and vessel data.
To display the AIS Layer Setup Menu
Class B data is applicable to smaller vessels and is not compulsory.
Do not assume that your AIS will display data for all smaller vessels
in your area.
1. Ensure the AIS LAYER is set to ON (see Using AIS, below).
2. Press the MENU button.
3. Select AIS Layer Setup.

12.9 Safe zones
The AIS list provides collision-avoidance data for the highlighted
target:
A safe zone is a circular area about your vessel. If another vessel
enters this area, the G-Series system considers it dangerous. The
perimeter of the zone is displayed on the radar and chart window
as a red ring.
The AIS safe zone uses the same criteria as MARPA and will deem
a target dangerous if it comes within a specified distance of your
vessel (closest point of approach, or CPA) within a specified time
(time to closest point of approach, or TCPA). The CPA and TCPA
are calculated using COG/SOG and position from the AIS target.

2. Select Video Setup Menu.
3. Press OK.
The G-Series system is supplied with S-Video cabling but you can
also use composite video devices. Video processing is handled by
a GVM400: each of these devices provides four inputs. The total
number of video inputs available depends upon your system
configuration.
13.3 Using composite video on input 1
The system can handle multiple video inputs, and you can cycle
through the attached devices to stay updated on each view.
By default, the system allows for one S-Video input (input 1) and
three composite video inputs (inputs 2-4). If you want to use input 1
for composite video, you need to change the video input settings.
You can also adjust the brightness, contrast, color and aspect ratio
of the image, adjust audio volume, and set a video window to display a mirror image of the feed (see page 167).
To change video input settings
13.2 Setting up the video application
1. Open the Video Setup Menu.
2. Select Composite.
3. Press OK.
Before you can use the video application, you may need to configure a page set to include a video application window. For
information about how to do that, see page 25.
13.4 Setting a name for the video feed
At installation, the video module (GVM400) or modules attached to
your system, along with any video input devices, were named. You
can change these names if you wish.
By default, the video sources are labelled ‘Comp1’ to ‘Comp3’ and
‘S-Video’. You can change these labels to make them more
descriptive, for example: ’engine room’, ‘stern’, or ‘bow’. You can
also rename each video controller module (GVM).

pointing at.
Unless a video cycle is running, you can make changes to the
aspect ratio, contrast, color and brightness settings in the video
application.
You can specify the length of time each feed is displayed for. By
default the cycle period is 10 seconds but you can change this
(from 1 to 99 seconds) if required.
Mirror image
Setting up a video window to display a mirror-image of the video
feed can be useful if you have, for example, a rear-facing camera
linked to a forward-facing display.
While a video cycle is running, you cannot change the aspect ratio,
contrast, brightness or color levels of the video image.
To set up a video cycle
Aspect ratio
1. Open the Video Setup Menu.
2. Select Cycle 1 and the name of the input you want to set as the
first view in the cycle.
3. Repeat this process for each successive input in the cycle.
4. To exclude an input from the cycle, switch its status to NONE.
The video application automatically detects the appropriate aspect
ratio for each input source. If an image appears distorted
(squashed or stretched), you can override the automatic setting to
choose the appropriate aspect ratio manually.

19.1 Cautions
Card removal
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.
Only remove the card while the CF Card Removal message is displayed. This is opened through the setup menu, documented
below. Once the message is closed, the card should no longer be
removed
If you try to remove a card without accessing the setup menu, a
blue screen and warning message is displayed and the unit must
be restarted.
Water Ingress
To prevent the ingress of water and consequent damage to
the unit, ensure that the chart card door is firmly closed at
all times. This can be confirmed by an audible click.
To insert a CompactFlash card
1. Check that you are using the correct type of card (see Important
Information, at the beginning of this manual).
2. Open the chart card door.
3. Insert the card with the lip of the card facing inwards. It should
position easily. If it does not, DO NOT force it but check the
direction in which the lip is facing.
4. Gently press the card home.
5. To prevent the ingress of water and consequent damage, close
the chart card door and press firmly until it clicks.
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.
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.
To remove a CompactFlash card with the unit powered
up
1. Press the MENU button to open the system Setup menu.
2. Select Remove CF Card.
3. When you see the message telling you it is safe to do so,
remove the card. Do not remove a card until you see the
pop-up saying it is safe to do. Otherwise you could lose
data.
4. Open the chart card door.
5. Grip the card and pull to remove it from its slot.
6. To prevent water damage, close the chart card door and press
firmly until it clicks.
7. Press OK.
Note: Raymarine recommends the use of SanDisk Standard
Compact Flash memory for reliability.
19.2 Card insertion and removal
You can remove and insert cards while a chart is displayed provided that you follow the correct procedure. Chart information is
retained on-screen 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.
To remove a CompactFlash card with the unit powered
down
Cartographic data is available on any monitor.
1. Open the chart card door.
G-Series Reference Manual

2. Grip the card and pull to remove it from its slot.
3. To prevent water damage, close the chart card door and press
firmly until it clicks.
If your selection is already found to exist on the system, a warning
message appears and the softkey labels change to give you the
options of retrieving as new, replacing the data or cancelling the
retrieving process.
19.3 Saving and retrieving data
To erase information from a CF card
The system can save up to 3000 waypoints, 150 routes and 15
tracks in database lists. Once this number is reached, you need to
archive data to a CompactFlash card for safe-keeping 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 199).
Insert the appropriate card.
Press the DATA button.
Press the ARCHIVE AND TRANSFER softkey.
Press the ERASE FROM CARD softkey.
Select the list you want to remove data from.
Define the data to be deleted.
Press YES to confirm
19.4 Sending and receiving data from a
personal computer
Raymarine strongly recommend that you save data to a separate
CompactFlash card and not to a Navionics card containing
cartography.
To save data to a CF card
You can transfer and retrieve waypoints or routes to and from
another instrument or PC using NMEA or SeaTalkhs.

20.1 Maintenance procedures
Routine checks
At regular intervals, carry out the following servicing procedures:
Carry out the following tasks on a regular basis:
•
Routine checks.
•
•
Cleaning the Display.
Examine all cables for signs of damage, such as chafing, cuts
or nicks.
•
Check that all cables are securely connected.
Do not attempt any other servicing procedures.
Cleaning the display
Servicing and Safety
Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
the correct cleaning procedure may damage your display
window and invalidate your warranty.
Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorized
Raymarine service technicians. They will ensure that service
procedures and any replacement parts used will not affect
performance. There are no user serviceable parts in any
Raymarine product.
•
Some products generate high voltages, so never handle the
cables or connectors when power is being supplied to the
equipment.
•
When powered on, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical
equipment to interact with one another, with a consequent
adverse effect on operation. In order to minimize these effects
and enable you to get the best possible performance from your
Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the installations
manual, to enable you to ensure minimum interaction between
different items of equipment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
•
Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest
Raymarine dealer. We use such information to improve our
quality standards.
•
In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the
equipment from being affected by external influences. Generally this will not damage the display, but it can lead to spurious
re-setting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.
•
At the end of the useful working life of this product, it should
disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Window coating
A coating is applied to the plastic window of your display. This
makes it water repellent and prevents glare. To avoid damaging this
coating, the recommended cleaning procedure must be followed.
Recommended cleaning procedure
1. Power off the Display.
2. Rinse the window with fresh water, to remove all dirty particles
and salt deposits.
3. Allow the window to dry naturally.
Do not use any abrasive materials including a dry cloth.
Do not use any cleaning solutions, polishes or sprays.
Do not use a jet wash.
D9203
•
4. If any smears remain, very gently wipe the window with a clean
microfiber cleaning cloth (provided with the Display or available
from opticians).
