TRACKER 5380 Installation and Operation Manual

NAVMAN

Important
It is the owner’s sole responsibility to install and use the instrument in a manner that will
not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. The user of this product is solely
responsible for observing safe boating practices.
Global Positioning System: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US
Government which is solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The
GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS
equipment anywhere in the world including the TRACKER. Whilst the Navman TRACKER is a
precision navigation instrument, it can be misused or misinterpreted, which can result in its use
being unsafe. To reduce the risk of misusing or misinterpreting the TRACKER, the user must read
and understand all aspects of this Installation and Operation manual. We also suggest that the
user practice all operations using the built in simulator before using the TRACKER at sea.
Electronic Chart: The electronic chart used by the TRACKER is an aid to navigation and is
designed to supplement the use of official government charts not replace them. Only official
government charts supplemented by notices to mariners contain the information required for
safe and prudent navigation. Always supplement the information provided by the TRACKER
with other plotting sources such as observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass
bearings. Should the information not agree then the discrepancy must be resolved before
proceeding any further.
Fuel Computer: Fuel economy can alter drastically depending on the boat loading and sea
conditions. The fuel computer should not be the sole source of information concerning available
fuel onboard and the electronic information should be supplemented by visual or other checks
of the fuel load. This is necessary due to possible operator induced errors such as forgetting
to reset the fuel used when filling the tank, running the engine with the fuel computer not
switched on or other operator controlled actions that may render the device inaccurate. Always
ensure that adequate fuel is carried onboard for the intended trip plus a reserve to allow for
unforeseen circumstances.
NAVMAN NZ LIMITED DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY USE OF THIS PRODUCT IN A WAY THAT
MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS, DAMAGE OR THAT MAY VIOLATE THE LAW.
Governing Language: This statement, any instruction manuals, user guides and other
information relating to the product (Documentation) may be translated to, or has been
translated from, another language (Translation). In the event of any conflict between any

TRACKER 5380 Installation and Operation Manual

1 Introduction
1-1 Overview
The NAVMAN TRACKER 5380 is a compact,
rugged, highly integrated marine chartplotter. It
is easy to use and has a colour display. Complex
functions can be performed with a few key
presses, taking the hard work out of boating.

SmartCraft engine functions require a
SmartCraft system to be installed. For
information on using SmartCraft, see
the SmartCraft Gateway Installation and
Operation Manual.

This manual covers:

The TRACKER can send data to other
instruments, such as an autopilot, and
receive data from other instruments.

TRACKER 5380
Colour display, external GPS antenna.

For information on installing options, see
section 15-2.

TRACKER 5380i
Colour display, interrnal GPS antenna.

This manual describes how to install and
operate the TRACKER. Special terms are
explained in Appendix C. For maximum
benefit, please read this manual carefully
before installing and using the unit. For more
information on this instrument and other
Navman products, go to our website, www.
navman.com.

The available functions, displays and setup
menus depend on the optional sensors and
instruments that are installed:
Fuel functions require one or more
petrol/gasoline sensors to be installed.

1-2 Cleaning and maintenance
The TRACKER screen is covered by a proprietary
anti-reflection coating. To avoid damage,
clean the screen only with a damp cloth and
mild detergent when dirty or covered in sea
salt. Avoid abrasive cleaners, petrol or other
solvents. If a plug-in card gets dirty or wet,
clean it with a damp cloth or mild detergent.

To optimize performance, avoid walking on or
jamming cables and connectors.
Push the dust cover over the display when the
TRACKER is turned off.

1-3 Plug-in cards
C-MAP™ user cards are used to store
navigation data. Each user card expands
the TRACKER memory and allows the data
to be transferred to another TRACKER easily
(see section 14).

The TRACKER can use two kinds of plug-in card:
C-MAP™ chart cards have chart details
required for navigating in a particular
region. When a chart card is plugged in, the
extra details automatically appear on the
TRACKER chart display.
The TRACKER can use NT, NT+ and NT-MAX
cards.

In Simulate mode, the TRACKER ignores data
from the GPS antenna and other transducers
and sensors and the TRACKER generates this
data itself. Otherwise, the TRACKER functions
normally.
There are two simulate modes:

Normal: Allows a user to become familiar
with the TRACKER off the water.

Demo: Simulates a boat moving along
a route and automatically displays different
TRACKER functions.
To start and stop Simulate mode, and for more
information, see section 14-12. In simulate
mode, Simulate or Demo flashes at the
bottom of the display.
Warning: Never have Simulate mode on

3 Navigation: Chart
The chart display shows the chart, the boat’s position course and navigation data.

3-1 Overview of navigating
The TRACKER has two ways of navigating, going straight to a point or following a route.

3-1-1 Navigating to a point
D
When the TRACKER is navigating to a point, the
chart and highway displays show navigation
data:
A

The boat position .

The destination point marked with a circle.

The boat’s plotted course to the
destination.

D Two CDI lines, parallel to the boat’s plotted
course, which indicate the maximum
expected deviation from the plotted
course.

If the TRACKER has no autopilot, steer the boat
manually:

use the boat position and destination on
the chart or highway displays

or use navigation data displayed on the
data header (see section 2-8-2)

or use COG and BRG on the compass (see
section 2-8-3).

For more information, see appendix C.
If the TRACKER is connected to an autopilot, the
TRACKER will send data to the autopilot to steer
the boat to the destination. Start the autopilot
before starting to navigate to the point.

Note:
1

If the XTE alarm is enabled, an alarm will
sound if the boat deviates too much from
its intended course (see section 14-7).

If the arrival radius alarm is enabled, then
an alarm will sound to show that the boat
has reached the destination (see section
14-7).

3-1-2 Going to a waypoint or to a point on the chart
A waypoint is a position that you can set on the
TRACKER chart, for example a fishing spot or a
point on a route (see section 5).

GPS worldwide navigation
The US Government operates the GPS system.
Twenty-four satellites orbit the earth and
broadcast position and time signals. The
positions of these satellites are constantly
changing. The GPS receiver analyses the
signals from the closest satellites and
calculates exactly where it is on earth. This is
called the GPS position.
The accuracy of the GPS position is typically
better than 10 m (33 ft) for 95% of the time. A
GPS antenna can receive signals from the GPS
satellites when it is almost anywhere on earth.

transmitters that broadcast correction
signals that can be received by a special
receiver on the boat. Differential beacons
are usually only installed near ports and
important waterways, and each beacon
has a limited range. The accuracy of the
corrected GPS position is typically better
than 2 to 5 m (6 to 16 ft).

GPS receiver

A DGPS system uses correction signals to
remove some of the errors in the GPS position.
The TRACKER can use one of two types of
DGPS system:
WAAS and EGNOS DGPS
WAAS and EGNOS are two satellite based
DGPS systems. The correction signals are
broadcast by satellites and are received by
the TRACKER’s standard GPS antenna. The
accuracy of the corrected GPS position is
typically better than 5 m (15 ft) for 95% of
the time.

WAAS covers all of the USA and most of
Canada. EGNOS will cover most of Western
Europe when it becomes operational.

NAVMAN

Navman GPS units have a sensitive 12-channel
receiver, which tracks signals from all GPS
satellites visible above the horizon and uses
measurements from all satellites more than 5°
above the horizon to calculate the position.
Each time a GPS receiver is turned on, it
normally takes about 50 seconds before
it outputs the first position. Under some
circumstances it will take up to two minutes
or longer.

10-3 Fuel consumption curves
A fuel consumption curve is a powerful tool for assessing your boat performance in different
conditions and for helping you to run at the most economical speed for the conditions. Fuel
consumption curves require engine RPM, which requires SmartCraft to be installed.

10-3-1 Making a fuel consumption curve
Making a fuel consumption curve requires
running the boat in a straight line through the
engine’s full RPM range for about 15 minutes.

For your first curve, choose a calm day with
light wind and little current; have a typical load
and a freshly cleaned hull. Then you can make
fuel consumption curves for different boat,
weather or sea conditions. Compare these
with your first curve to see how your boat’s
performance changes with conditions.

The TRACKER then asks you to set the
throttle to achieve a target RPM. For a twin
engine boat set both engines to about the
target RPM. When the engine RPMs are
correct, the Target RPM box will turn green.

Map datum
TRACKER GPS positions are based on a worldwide reference (datum)
known as WGS 84. Most paper charts are based on WGS 84. However,
some paper charts are based on other datums In these cases, the
latitude and longitude coordinates of objects on the TRACKER chart
display are different to the latitude and longitude coordinates of these
objects on the paper chart. This applies to all objects, such as the boat,
waypoints, tracks, lines of latitude and longitude and cartographic
features such as land, rocks, buoys and depth contours.
Use Map datum to select the TRACKER map datum to match the
datum of the paper chart. Then, the latitude and longitude coordinates
of objects displayed on the TRACKER will change to match the
corresponding coordinates on the paper chart.

erratic. Static navigation is a number, and the
options are:
•

0.01 to 99.9:If the boat speed is slower
than this, the speed is displayed as zero and
the course stays unchanged.

•

0(Off): The calculated speed and course

Speed and Course Filter
GPS Source
•

Internal: Use the internal GPS antenna
(TRACKER 5380i) or the external GPS
antenna supplied (TRACKER 5380) (see
section 15-5).

•

NMEA: Use an external GPS or DGPS source
connected via NMEA (see section 15-9).

•

NavBus: Use an external GPS or DGPS
source connected via NavBus (see section
15-8).

Waves and wind cause the boat speed and
course to fluctuate slightly. To give stable
readings, the TRACKER calculates these
values by taking several measurements and
averaging them.
A lower value averages measurements
over a shorter period of time. This gives
the most accurate value but has the most
fluctuations.
A higher value averages measurements
over a longer period of time. This gives the
most stable value but will ignore some true
speed changes.

DGPS Source
Enables or disables the satellite based DGPS
correction (see section 7). The options are
None or WAAS/EGNOS. Do not enable
WAAS/EGNOS outside their coverage areas
or the accuracy of the position might be
degraded.

Set the Speed and Course filters to the lowest
values which give stable readings. The range of
each filter is 1 to 60 seconds or Off (0).

WAAS covers all of the USA and most of
Canada. To use WAAS, the GPS antenna must
have a clear view of the sky towards the
equator. EGNOS will cover most of Western
Europe when it becomes operational.

Restart GPS
Restarts the internal GPS receiver for servicing
or troubleshooting. The GPS receiver takes
up to three minutes to restart. The satellite
display shows the status of the GPS receiver
(see section 7). Restart the GPS if the receiver
has not been used for some time and is taking a
long time to get a GPS fix.

Setup menu is displayed, then select Fuel:

Twin engine installations require each fuel
transducer to be calibrated. This can be done
at the same time with two portable tanks or at
different times using one portable tank.
Calibrating the fuel transducer(s) requires
accurate measurement of the fuel
consumption. This is best done using a small
portable tank. At least 4 gallons (15 litres) of
fuel should be used to ensure an accurate
calibration.
It is often very difficult to fill underfloor tanks
to the same level twice due to air pockets, so
the more fuel used, the more accurate the
calibration.
To calibrate the fuel transducer(s), perform the
following steps:

Warning: Fuel consumption can change
drastically depending upon the boat
loading and the sea conditions. Always carry
adequate fuel for the journey, plus a reserve.

1. Record the level of the fuel in the tank(s).
2. Connect the portable tank(s) to the engine
through the fuel transducer(s).
3. Run the engine at normal cruising speed
until at least 4 gallons (15 litres) of fuel has
been used per engine.
4. Check the actual amount of fuel used per
engine by refilling the portable tank(s) to
the original level and noting the reading(s)
from the fuel dispenser’s gauge.
5. Select Fuel. Use the cursor keys to
change the reading for each engine to
match that on the fuel dispenser’s gauge.
6. Press

when the reading is correct.

Note: If the fuel calibration options appear
to give erroneous readings after a while,
first check that the fuel sensor has been
installed correctly according to the installation
instructions supplied with it, then see
Appendix B - Troubleshooting.
Flow filter
Most engines do not draw fuel from the tank at
a steady rate. To give a stable fuel flow reading,
the TRACKER calculates the flow value(s) by
taking several measurements and averaging
them. Use the Flow filter to set the period over
which the fuel flow is averaged.

SmartCraft fuel sensors are factory calibrated
and should never need recalibrating.
Calibrating Navman petrol/gasoline sensors
gives more accurate fuel values.

NAVMAN

TRACKER 5380 Installation and Operation Manual

Speed source

The Flow filter can be set from 0 to 30
seconds. Use the lowest value which gives a
stable flow. Usually a value of 5 to 10 seconds
will give a satisfactory result for two-stroke
carburettor engines. Fuel injected or fourstroke engines may require a larger value.

If both paddlewheel sensor and GPS speeds are
available, select the source of speed readings
for fuel calculations. If there is a current or tide,
these speeds and the fuel calculation results
will be different.

This setting affects the Fuel flow and
Fuel economy reading on the Fuel
display but it does not affect the Fuel used
reading.

Water speed: Use paddlewheel sensor
speed (boat speed through the water). This
gives a more accurate value for Economy.
GPS: Use GPS speed (boat speed relative
to land). This gives a more accurate value
for Range.

Appendix B - Troubleshooting
This troubleshooting guide is written with
the assumption that the user has read and
understood the relevant sections in this
manual.
It is possible in many cases to solve difficulties
without having to send the display unit back to
the manufacturer for repair. Please follow this
troubleshooting section before contacting the
nearest NAVMAN dealer.

correctly and is waterproof. Users who service
the product themselves will void the warranty.
Repairs to the product may only be carried out
by a service centre approved by NAVMAN. If the
product must be sent into a service centre for
repair, it is essential to send in the transducer(s)
at the same time.
More information can be found on our Website:
www.navman.com.

There are no user serviceable parts. Specialized
methods and testing equipment are required
to ensure that the display unit is reassembled

B-1 General Problems
1-1 The TRACKER won’t turn on:
a

The TRACKER is designed to operate on a
12 volt battery system, where the voltage
may vary from 10 to 16 volts. If an excessive
voltage is supplied, a fuse will be tripped,
turning the display unit off. Check the fuse.
Check that the power cable connector
at the back of the display unit is securely
plugged in and the collar is locked in place.
The collar must be secure for watertight
connection.
Measure the battery voltage while the
battery is under load - turn on some
lights, radio or other electrical equipment
connected to the battery. If the voltage is
less than 10 volts:
-

the battery terminals or wiring on the
terminals may be corroded.

the battery may not be charging
correctly or may need replacing.

Check for corrosion on the power cable
connector and clean or replace if required.

Check fuses that are placed in line with the
power cable. A fuse can be blown despite
appearing to be good or the fuse may be
corroded. Test the fuse or replace it with a
fuse known to be good.

1-2 The TRACKER won’t turn off:
The TRACKER may have been wired for
Auto power. In this case, the TRACKER
cannot be turned off while the ignition
power is on (see section 2-3).
1-3 If the TRACKER beeps when turned on but
nothing is displayed:
The TRACKER may be operating, but the
backlight settings may have been set too
low (see section 2-4).
1-4 The wrong language is displayed:
See section 14-1.

Inspect the power cable from end to end
for damage such as cuts, breaks, squashed
or trapped sections.

Ensure that the red wire is connected to the
positive battery terminal and the black wire
to the negative battery terminal. If wired for
the Auto Power option, ensure the yellow
wire is connected to the ignition circuit.
Also check the boat’s main switch circuit
(see section 15-4).

TRACKER 5380 Installation and Operation Manual

B-2 GPS navigation problems
2-1 No GPS fix or long time to get fix at
startup:

2-6 Autopilot not responding to TRACKER; no
NMEA output:

May occur occasionally if the antenna
does not have a clear view of the sky. The
satellite positions are constantly changing.

NMEA output disabled or the required NMEA
sentences are not turned on. Check NMEA
settings (see section 17-10).

Antenna cable not connected to display
unit.

Check that the instrument is connected
correctly.

Restart the GPS (see section 14-3).

2-7 No DGPS fix or loss of DGPS fix:

2-2 TRACKER GPS position different from true
position by more than 10 m (33 ft):
a

TRACKER in simulate mode. Turn simulate
mode off (see section 14-12).

The normal error in GPS position will
exceed 10 m (33 ft) for about 5% of the
time.

Under special circumstances the US
Department of Defence may introduce a
deliberate and changing error in the GPS
positions of up to 300 m (1000 ft).

To receive a DGPS fix, WAAS/EGNOS must
be enabled or an optional DGPS antenna
fitted (see section 7).

With WAAS/EGNOS: Boat out of coverage
area (see section 7).

With WAAS: GPS antenna does not have
a clear view of the horizon towards the
equator.

With beacon DGPS: boat out of range of a
DGPS beacon.

2-3 TRACKER position different from same
position on local charts:
a

TRACKER in simulate mode. Turn simulate
mode off (see section 14-12).

Incorrect chart datum. Select the correct
chart datum (see section 14-2).

Map shift has been applied wrongly. Clear map
shift, then reapply if necessary (see section
14-2).

2-4 Can not see boat on chart:
Press
to switch to centre on boat
mode (see section 3-2-1).
2-5 The time or date on satellite display is
wrong or off:
a

No GPS fix.

In simulate mode. Turn simulate mode off
(see section 14-12).

Local time offset is wrong (see section
14-11). The Local Time Offset must be
changed when daylight saving time starts
or ends.

B-3 Fuel consumption problems
Note: For the TRACKER to measure fuel
consumption, the optional fuel flow kit must be
fitted.

3-3 A twin engine installation shows only one
flow rate:
a

3-1 Fuel used or remaining seem inaccurate:
TRACKER is not wired for auto power (see
section 15-4).
b

In rough seas, fuel may surge back and
forth through the fuel transducer, resulting
in incorrect readings. Try installing a
one-way valve between the fuel transducer
and the fuel tank.

The Set remaining fuel value must
be reset after every refuelling (see section
10-1).

The fuel tank may not refill to the same
capacity each time due to air pockets. This is
particularly noticable with underfloor tanks.

Fuel transducers wear out over time and
should be replaced after every 5000 litres
of fuel.

3-2 Flow indicates no fuel or low fuel:
a

Check that the number of engines is set to
1 (see section 14-4).

Check that the fuel cable connectors are
securely plugged in and the collar is locked
in place. The collar must be locked in place
to give a watertight connection.

A fuel transducer may be clogged. If so,
remove the transducer from the fuel line
and gently blow through it in the opposite
direction to the fuel flow.

Check that the number of engines is set to
2 (see section 14-4).

3-4 Erratic Fuel Flow readings:
a

The fuel flow transducer may have been
mounted too close to the fuel pump or may
be subject to excessive vibration. Refer to
the installation instructions supplied with
the fuel transducer.

Check for leaks in the fuel line or in the fuel
pickup in the tank.

The Flow filter value is not suitable for
the engine. Check that the value is not set
to zero, then try increasing the value until a
steady flow rate is shown (see section 14-4).

3-5 There is no reading for fuel economy:
a

The boat must be travelling through the
water to generate an Economy reading.

Check that the paddlewheel on the
transducer is spinning freely and that the
two magnets in the paddlewheel are still
in place.

A fuel filter between the fuel transducer
and the fuel tank must be installed as per
the fuel installation guide. Failure to do so
will void the warranty.
d

Inspect the fuel cable from end to end for
damage such as cuts, breaks, trapped or
squashed sections.

Check that the fuel filter is clean.
