TRACKER 5600 Installation and Operation Manual

NAVMAN

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.

6TRACKER 5600 Installation and Operation Manual

NAVMAN

1-2 Plug-in cards

1 Introduction

TRACKER chartplotters

NAVMAN’s TRACKER chartplotters are compact,

ruggedly built, highly integrated navigation instruments.

They have been designed to be easy to use. Complex

navigation functions can be performed with a few key

presses, taking the hard work out of navigation.

This manual covers the NAVMAN TRACKER 5600

chartplotter, which has a large, easy to read colour

display and uses an external GPS antenna.

The TRACKER has a built-in chart of the world,

suitable for route planning and general interest. To

see chart details for a region, plug in a C-MAP™ chart

card (an electronic chart).

The TRACKER receives information from the GPS

system and displays the boat’s position and speed.

The TRACKER can navigate to a point or can navigate

along a route. When the boat is navigating to one of

these points, the TRACKER displays course

information for the helmsman to follow.

The TRACKER can control an autopilot and can

display depth information from a depth sounder. With

an optional fuel kit, the TRACKER becomes a

sophisticated yet easy to use fuel computer. Navigation

data can be saved to a plug-in user card so that it can

be easily transferred to another NAVMAN chartplotter.

The TRACKER is part of the NAVMAN family of

instruments, which includes instruments for speed,

depth, wind and repeaters. These instruments can be

connected together to form an integrated data system

(see section 14).

For maximum benefit, please read this manual

carefully before installing and using the unit. Special

terms are explained in Appendix C.

Cleaning and maintenance

Caution should be used when cleaning the TRACKER,

and especially the screen of the TRACKER. Only use

a clean sponge or chamois soaked in fresh water and

mild detergent. Never use a dry cloth as this may drag

dried salt crystals across the screen resulting in

scratching. Do not use any form of abrasive cleaner,

solvent, petrol or other chemical cleaner.

Push the dust cover over the display when the

TRACKER is turned off.

1-1 Care

Plug-in cards

Handle plug-in cards carefully. Keep them in their

protective cases when not plugged into the TRACKER.

If a card gets dirty or wet, clean it with a damp cloth

or mild detergent.

Keep the card holder in place in the display unit at all

times to prevent moisture from entering the card

compartment.

The TRACKER can use two kinds of plug-in cards:

C-MAP™ chart card 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’s chart display.

C-MAP™ user cards are used to store navigation

data. Each user card expands the TRACKER’s

memory and allows the data to be transferred to

another TRACKER easily (see section 11).

Note: The older 5 volt cards are not supported.

When a card is inserted or removed it does not matter

if the TRACKER is turned on or off.

If Projected course is turned on, then the TRACKER

will display the projected position based on the

course over ground (COG), speed and a specified

time. To turn Projected course on and off and to set

the time, see section 13-2.

3-4 Projected course

Tracking records the boat’s position to memory at

regular intervals, which can be:

Time intervals.

Or distance intervals.

The track of where the boat has been can be

displayed on the chart. The TRACKER can display

one track while recording another.

To work with tracks, (see section 13-5).

The TRACKER can store five tracks:

Track 1 can hold up to 2000 points and is intended

to record the normal progress of the boat.

Tracks 2, 3, 4 and 5 can hold up to 500 points

each and are intended to record sections to be

retraced accurately, for example entering a

river mouth.

Tip: Record the tracks in good conditions.

When recording is on and the track becomes full

then recording continues and the oldest points in the

track are deleted. The maximum length of a track

depends on the selected track interval: a small

interval will give a shorter, more detailed track and a

long interval will give a longer, less detailed track, as

shown in these examples:

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.

GPS antennas

The TRACKER must be used with the external GPS

antenna supplied. The TRACKER has a sensitive

12-channel receiver built in, which tracks signals from

all satellites visible above the horizon and uses

measurements from all satellites more than 5° above

the horizon to calculate the position.

7 Satellites

DGPS

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

(16 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 about the

end of 2003. To enable WAAS and EGNOS

DGPS, (see section 13-3).

18 TRACKER 5600 Installation and Operation Manual

NAVMAN

Differential beacon DGPS

Differential beacons are land based radio

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).

To use differential beacon DGPS, the

TRACKER must be installed with an external

DGPS antenna, such as the NAVMAN DGPS 1

(see section 15-3).

Startup

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.

The satellite display has information about the GPS

satellites and GPS position.

To go to the satellite display, press DISP and select

13-2 Chart setup

Rotation

The options for chart rotation are:

North up

: North is always at the top of the

chart display.

Track up

: The chart is rotated so that the boat

direction is to the top of the display. This option

is useful for navigating narrow harbours or

rivers. The TRACKER asks for a course

deviation; this is how much the boat direction

needs to change to make the chart redraw.

Tip: If the chart redraws too frequently,

increase the course deviation setting.

Course up

: This option is only available if the

boat is navigating to a destination. The chart is

rotated so that the plotted course to the

destination is vertical.

Projected course

The TRACKER can estimate the course after a given

time, based on the current speed and heading (see

section 3-4). The options are 2 minutes, 10 minutes,

30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or Off.

CDI Scale

The CDI Scale is described in Appendix C, CDI. The

options are 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 10.0

distance units.

Plotter mode

Occasionally it is desirable to use a chart scale which

is not available on a chart card. Examples are:

To zoom in to a small scale to track very small

boat movements.

If there is no detailed chart for an area, for

example when crossing an ocean.

Plotter mode

, then if the chart zooms to a

scale which is not available, the TRACKER will enter

plotter mode and will only display the boat position

and track (if enabled). Chart and map information

will no longer be displayed and the display is white

with black crosshatch lines.

For normal use, turn

Plotter mode

Off

Map datum and map shift

Satellite derived positions on the TRACKER are

based on a worldwide reference (datum) known as

WGS84. Most paper charts are based on WGS84.

However, some paper charts are not based on

WGS84, which results in an offset between a position

on the TRACKER and the same position plotted on

the paper chart.

To match the TRACKER’s positions with a local chart

that is not based on WGS84:

Either select

Map datum

and select the datum

for the local chart. See Appendix A for a list of

the available datums. WGS84 is the default

datum, and the datum most commonly used on

paper charts.

Or, if the correct datum is not available, retain

the WGS84 datum and apply a map shift (see

below).

Map shift

Map shift is a correction applied to the TRACKER’s

positions so that they match a chart’s positions.

Warning: Map shift is for eliminating minor

offsets. It should not be used if the correct datum

is available. Use map shift with caution: incorrect

application will cause incorrect boat positions.

Set map shift

1 Move the boat to a known point on the chart,

for example a marina berth.

2 In the Chart setup menu, select

Map shift

3 Move the cursor to the position on the chart

where the boat actually is.

4 Press ENT to set the new map shift. The boat

will now be displayed at its actual location.

Clear map shift

Clearing the map shift removes any map shift from

the TRACKER’s positions.

1 In the Chart setup menu, select

Map shift

2 Press MENU and select

Clear

Waypoints

Controls how waypoints are displayed on the chart.

The options are:

Hide all

: No waypoints are displayed.

Show all

: All waypoints are displayed.

Selected

: Waypoints with their display option

set to Icon or I+N (Icon and Name) are

displayed (see section 9).

Chart display options

The other chart setup options allow an extensive

range of chart card features to be shown. Configure

the most useful display format.

Note:

Bathymetric Lines and soundings

Chart cards contain a large amount of spot sounding

and depth contour data. This can be selectively

displayed by turning Bathymetric Lines and Spot

Soundings on, then selecting the range to display

with Bath and Sndgs Min and Max.

Attention Areas

Areas of importance, such as restricted anchorages

and shallow areas, are highlighted as Attention Areas.

GPS Source

Disable or enable the TRACKER’s internal GPS

receiver. Disable this if a non-standard GPS antenna

that sends NMEA data is installed.

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.

WAAS covers all of the USA and most of Canada.

EGNOS will cover most of Western Europe when it

becomes operational about the end of 2003.

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).

The options are:

: displays attention area boundaries and

information icons .

Off

: does not display attention area boundaries

or information icons .

Note: In some early chart cards the information icons

are inactive.

Depth area limits

The depth area limits control the chart water colours

Static Navigation

The displayed speed and course become erratic

when the boat stops. Turn Static navigation On to

display speed and course as zero when the boat is

stopped.

Position, Speed and Course Filter

Waves and wind cause the boat position, 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.

Set the Position, 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).

for different depths. There are three water colours:

Surface to Depth area limit 1:

Shallow water colour.

13-6 Trip log(s)

Fuel Cal

Without calibration the error in fuel measurements

can be up to ± 10%. Calibration can reduce the error

substantially. For twin engine installations calibration

of each transducer is required.

Calibrating the fuel transducer requires accurate

measurement of the fuel used. This is easiest with a

small portable tank. It should be noted that due to air

pockets, it is very difficult to fill underfloor tanks to

the same level twice. At least 15 litres (4 US gallons)

should be used to ensure an accurate calibration.

(The more fuel used, the more accurate the

calibration will be.) Each transducer in a twin engine

installation must be calibrated separately. This may

be done at the same time with two portable tanks, or

at different times using one tank at a time.

The procedure is:

1 Select

Clear Used

to set Used to zero.

2 Connect the measurement tank(s) to the

engine(s) via the fuel transducer(s).

3 Run the engine(s) at normal cruising speed until

at least 15 litres (4 US gallons) is indicated

(30 litres [8 US gallons] for twin engines).

4 Check the actual amount of fuel used per

engine. The easiest way to do this is to refill

the tank(s) to the original level(s) and record

the value(s) shown on the fuel dispenser.

5 Select

Fuel Cal

. The amount of fuel that the

TRACKER has measured is displayed.

Change the number to the actual fuel amount

used. (Repeat for the other engine in a twin

engine installation).

Flow Filter

Normally engines do not draw fuel from the tank at a

steady rate. To give a stable fuel flow reading, the

TRACKER calculates the flow values by taking several

measurements and averaging them. The flow filter

sets the period over which the fuel flow is averaged,

and can be set from 1 to 180 seconds or Off.

Set the flow filter to the lowest value which give a

stable flow. Usually a value of 10 to 15 seconds will

give a satisfactory result for carburettor engines. Fuel

injected engines may require a larger value.

This setting affects the Flow rate and Economy

displays. It does not affect the fuel used measurement.

For displaying the trip log(s) on the data header, see

section 3-1-8.

Press MENU twice, then select Trip to display the

trip.

Selecting Reset trip dist or Reset total dist then

pressing ENTER resets each to zero.

14 Systems of several instruments

Several NAVMAN instruments can be connected

together to share data. There are two ways of

connecting instruments together, NavBus or NMEA.

NavBus

NavBus is a NAVMAN proprietary system that allows

systems of multiple instruments to be built using a

single set of transducers. When instruments are

connected by NavBus:

If the units, alarms or calibration are changed

in one instrument, then the values will

automatically change in all other instruments

of the same type.

Each instrument can be assigned to a group of

instruments (see section 13-8). If the backlight

is changed in an instrument in group 1, 2, 3 or

4 then the backlight will automatically change

in the other instruments in the same group.

If the backlight is changed in an instrument in

group 0 then no other instruments are affected.

If an alarm sounds, mute it by clearing the

alarm on any instrument which can display that

alarm.

NavBus and the TRACKER

The TRACKER can display data (e.g. depth,

speed, log and wind) from NAVMAN’s 3100

series instruments when connected.

NMEA

NMEA is an industry standard, but is not as flexible

as NavBus as it requires dedicated connections

between instruments. The TRACKER can:

Receive and display depth data.

Receive data from a GPS antenna.

Send GPS position and other navigation data

to an autopilot or other instrument.

Local offset

The difference between local time and UTC (GMT).

Change local offset when daylight saving time starts

and ends. The range is 0 to ± 13 hours, in 30 minute

steps.

13-10 Time setup

Time format

The options are 24 hour or 12 hour.

boat builder or marine engineer.

Display unit

1 Find a suitable location for the display unit:

There are two mounting arrangements:

Flush mounting requires a solid panel

with access behind for wiring and mounting

screws.

Bracket mounting requires a panel for

mounting the bracket. The bracket can be

rotated and tilted.

Choose a location that is easily seen and not

exposed to the direct sun or water. If possible,

mount the display unit in front of the navigator

or to the left of the navigator because the LCD

display is more readable from these positions.

Keep the unit away from any source of

electrical signals or noise.

2 For flush mounting:

i Cut a hole in the bulkhead for the display

unit using the flush mount template.

ii Drill four holes for the mounting studs

using the flush mount template.

iii Screw the four studs into the brass inserts

in the back of the display unit.

iv Sit the display unit in place and fit the

washers and nuts to the studs.

For bracket mounting:

i Hold the bracket in place and mark the

screw holes.

ii Drill the screw holes and screw the bracket

in place with the screws provided. Do not

overtighten the screws or the display unit

might not rotate.

Do not fit the display unit yet.

GPS antenna

1 Find a suitable location for the antenna:

Mount the antenna with a good view of the sky

and horizon. The view should not be blocked

by large parts of the superstructure.

The unit can be under glass, perspex,

fibreglass or fabric, but not under metal or

wood.

Mount the antenna away from any source

of electrical signals or noise. Do not mount

the antenna within 2 m (6 ft) of a radio

transmitter antenna or within 0.5 m (20") of

the plane of a radar antenna.

Do not fit the antenna too high, such as up

a mast, or rocking will cause errors in

speed and bearing.

Do not mount the antenna where it can be

used as a hand hold, where it will interfere

with the operation of the boat or where it

might be submerged.

The maximum antenna cable length is

15 m (49 ft).

If a location might not be suitable, follow the

installation instructions below but mount the

antenna and antenna cable temporarily,

without drilling any fixing holes. If the system

does not work properly, change the antenna

location until it works properly. Then install the

antenna and cable permanently.

2 Fit antenna in place.

3 Run the cable between the antenna and the

display unit:

Keep the cable away from sources of

electrical signals or noise.

Do not cut the antenna cable; if necessary,

fit one 5 m (16 ft) extension cable.

Do not crush or pinch the antenna cable.

Secure the cable at regular intervals.

Optional fuel kit

Fit the fuel kit following the instructions that come

with the kit.

Installation of a DGPS antenna

In areas where satellite differential (WAAS/EGNOS)

is not available an optional combined GPS/DGPS

antenna may be connected for enhanced accuracy

when in range of conventional land based differential

beacons. Please contact the nearest NAVMAN dealer

for further information.

Power/data cable for display unit

Wire the cable as shown on the next page.

Note:

The unit requires 12 V DC power. This power

supply must be protected with a fuse or circuit

breaker of between 2 and 3 A. If it does not have

this, fit a 2 A fuse in the power supply line.

To enable auto power (see section 2-1),

connect the yellow Power/data cable wire to

the positive power supply as shown.

To disable auto power, leave the wire

disconnected; make sure it can not touch any

other conductor.

If the external beepers and lights require more

than 200 mA DC total, fit a relay.

For information on how to connect NavBus, refer

to the NavBus Installation and Operation manual.

Setup and test

1 Remove the dust covers from the connectors.

2 Plug the eight way connectors into their

sockets on the back of the display unit:

Match the colour on the end of the

connector to the colour of the nut on the

socket.

Hold the plug against the socket and rotate

the plug until it slides into the socket.

Lock the plug in place by pushing the

locking collar towards the socket and

turning it a quarter turn clockwise.

Nothing will be damaged if a cable is plugged

into the wrong socket by mistake.

3 If the unit has an external GPS antenna:

Plug the gold connector into its socket on

the back of the display unit.

Hand tighten the locking collar clockwise -

do not overtighten.

4 If the display unit is bracket mounted:

Appendix B - Troubleshooting

This troubleshooting guide assumes that you have

read and understood this manual.

It is possible in many cases to solve difficulties

without having to send the unit back to the

manufacturer for repair. Please follow this

troubleshooting section before contacting the

nearest NAVMAN dealer.

There are no user serviceable parts. Specialised

methods and testing equipment are required to

ensure that the unit is reassembled correctly and is

waterproof. Repairs to the unit must only be carried

out by a service centre approved by Navman NZ

Limited. Users who service the TRACKER

themselves will void the warranty.

When contacting a NAVMAN dealer for service, quote

the software version number and date which is given

on the about display (see section 12).

More information can be found on our Website:

www.navman.com

Department of Defence may introduce a

deliberate and changing error in the GPS

positions of up to 300 m (1000 ft).

7 TRACKER position different from same

position on local charts:

a TRACKER in simulate mode. Turn simulate

mode off (see section 13-10).

b Incorrect chart datum. Select the correct chart

datum (see section 13-2).

c Map shift has been applied wrongly. Clear map shift,

then reapply if necessary (see section 13-2).

8 Can not see boat on chart:

Press ESC to switch to centre on boat mode

(see section 3-1-1).

9 The time or date on satellite display is wrong

or off:

a No GPS fix.

b In simulate mode. Turn simulate mode off (see

section 13-10).

c Local time offset is wrong (see section 13-9).

The Local Time Offset must be changed when

daylight saving time starts or ends.

b Fuel functions not enabled. Set Num Engines

to 1 or 2 (see section 13-4).

c Cables not connected or plugged into wrong

sockets in display unit. Match the plug colours.

13 Fuel Used or Remaining seem wrong:

a The engine has been run while the TRACKER

is turned off and it has not recorded the fuel

use. Wire the auto power option (see section

15-3).

b Fuel may be surging back and forward through

a transducer in rough seas. Try installing a one

way valve between the fuel transducer and the

fuel tank.

TRACKER 5600 Installation and Operation Manual

NAVMAN

c Tank Full or Set Remaining has not been set

every refuelling.

d When refuelling, air pockets may have

prevented the tank filling completely.

e Fuel transducers wear out over time and

should be replaced every 5000 litres

(1316 US gallons) of fuel as a guide.

14 No or low fuel flow reading:

a Check the fuel cable connectors are securely

plugged in and the locking ring is locked in

place.

b Clogged fuel transducer. To clean a

transducer, remove it from the line and gently

blow through it in the opposite direction to the

fuel flow. Fit a fuel filter before the transducer.

c Inspect the fuel cable(s) for damage.

d Dirty fuel filter.

e Fuel transducer has been exposed to

excessive heat or vibration.

Navigation data

The boat is sailing from the start to the destination and has moved off the plotted course from the start to the

destination.

BRG Bearing to Destination Bearing to the destination from the boat.

+BRG Bearing to cursor Bearing to cursor from boat (cursor mode, see section 3-1-1)

CDI Course Deviation Indicator When the boat is navigating to a point, the chart and highway displays

show a parallel line on either side of the plotted course. These two

lines are called the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) lines. The distance

from the plotted course to a CDI line is the CDI scale.

Set the CDI scale (see section 13-2) to the maximum distance that the

boat should deviate from the plotted course. The chart and highway

displays show the CDI lines, which are like a highway over the water

where the boat will move. The displays show how far the boat has

deviated from the plotted course and if the boat is approaching a CDI

line. If the XTE alarm is enabled (see section 13-6) an alarm will sound

if the boat reaches a CDI line.

COG Course Over Ground Direction in which the boat is moving over the ground.

CTS Course To Steer Optimum course to steer to return to the plotted course.

DTG Distance To Go Distance from the boat to the destination.

ETA Expected Time of Arrival At the destination, assuming that SOG and COG remain constant.

+RNG Range to cursor Distance from boat to cursor (cursor mode, see section 3-1-1)

SOG Speed Over Ground Current boat speed over the ground. This is not necessarily the same

as the boat speed through the water nor the speed at which it is

approaching the destination.

STR Steering The difference between COG and CTS.

TTG Time To Go The estimated time to reach the destination.

XTE Cross Track Error The distance from the boat to the nearest point of the plotted course.

XTE may have a letter: R means steer to the right to return to the plotted

course, L means steer to the left.

VMG Velocity Made Good The speed at which the boat is approaching the destination.
