INTRODUCTION
NAVTEX is a method of transmitting navigational warnings and weather
forecasts from designated coast radio stations. All English language
transmissions are made on 518 kHz. Each station is allocated several time
‘slots’ during the day, when it is permitted to transmit; these are normally at
four hourly intervals. The only exceptions to this are gale warnings and
search and rescue messages, which may be transmitted at any time.
Reception of NAVTEX is normally limited to an area of 200 - 300 miles
radius around each transmitting station, although considerably greater
ranges are possible at night.
Subject to IMO approval, additional local language transmissions may be
made on 490 kHz.
The ICS NAV5plus has been designed to the latest European and
International specifications to provide up to date weather and navigation
warning information to commercial vessels. It meets IMO requirements
under GMDSS and is designed for simplicity of operation. It will provide
reliable printed information day after day within designated NAVTEX
coverage areas.
Installation is straightforward. Connect the ICS NAV5plus to a 12 or 24 volt
DC supply and connect a suitable antenna. Switch it on, and it will start
printing NAVTEX messages without further manual intervention. Note that if
there are only a couple of NAVTEX stations within range it may be several
hours before you receive the first message
If all stations and message types are left selected, the ICS NAV5plus may
overwhelm you with information. It can therefore be set up to print only
those stations and message categories you want to receive and which are
applicable to the area in which you are sailing.
Normally, routine messages are repeated at four hourly intervals. Provided
that the ICS NAV5plus is left running, repeated messages are not printed
again. The suppression of repeated messages stops three days (72 hours)
after the last transmission of the message.
Permanent installation of the ICS NAV5plus can be made with the
bulkhead-mounting bracket provided. Alternatively, the optional FMT-2
flush panel mounting kit, part number 913-24, may be purchased.
A NAVTEX antenna should be mounted where it is elevated clear of metal
objects in a location where it cannot easily be damaged.
Please read the installation section of the user guide thoroughly
before attempting installation of the ICS NAV5plus.

Notes:
Although the
and
keys are used to select which receiver is shown
on the display, it is important to realise that both receivers are actively
receiving signals all the time.
If messages are being transmitted at the same time on both channels, both
messages will be received and printed.
Messages from RX-B are identified separately on the printout.
Only messages from the 518 kHz receiver channel will be present on the
RS422 serial output.
NAVTEX Stations Setup Procedure
When the
key is pressed, the set up mode for the selected receiver will

SERIAL OUTPUT
The ICS NAV5plus has an EIA RS422A-compatible serial output which can
be used to connect the ICS NAV5plus to other equipment such as an
integrated bridge system or a PC running charting software.
The serial output operates all the time that the ICS NAV5plus is switched on
– there is no ON/OFF control for the serial output.
All correctly received NAVTEX messages from the 518 kHz receiver are
sent to the serial output. The station and message category settings for
printing within the ICS NAV5plus are ignored.
It is anticipated that the external equipment (e.g. a PC running charting
software) will have its own method of selecting stations and message
categories and as such ALL NAVTEX messages received by the ICS
NAV5plus will be output.
Note: Only messages from the 518 kHz receiver channel will be present on
the RS422 serial output.
Connecting to the Serial Output
Pin
Main Connector
Function
EIA-RS-422-A Output (TxA)
EIA-RS-422-A Output (TxB)
The RS422 output is ‘simplex’ which means that multiple receivers can be
connected to the ICS NAV5plus but the ICS NAV5plus is the only
transmitter.
The RS422 standard for connecting equipments specify that, for a short
cable with only one receiver, the cable may be unterminated. For longer
cables (20 metres or more) or installations with multiple receivers, a
termination resistor should be fitted at the far end of the cable run from the
ICS NAV5plus. The resistor value should be the ‘characteristic impedance’
of the cable, which typically is 100 to 120ohms. A ¼ W resistor is sufficient.
The cable used should be twisted pair 7/0.2 mm or similar.
Configuring the RS422 Receiver
The receiving device (a PC running charting software, or similar) needs to
be configured so that it can receive the NAVTEX messages output from the
ICS NAV5plus. Set up the RS422 receiver’s communication port as:
Baud rate 4800
8 data bits
1 stop bit
no parity
XON/XOFF
Connecting to an RS422 Device
If the receiver is an RS422 device then only 2 connections are required:
Pin
ICS NAV5plus
Connection
Output (Y)
Output (Z)
RS422 Receiver Connection
Input (A)
Input (B)
Note that, because receiver terminology varies between manufacturers, it
may be necessary to swap the two connections for the receiver to function
correctly. Don’t worry – you won’t damage the interface.
Connecting to a RS232 Device
If the receiver is a RS232 device, eg a computer serial (COM) port, then a
RS422 to RS232 converter is required.
A suitable converter is Amplicon ‘Model 485F9/485H9’, although any similar
product should be compatible. Be sure to follow the connection instructions
supplied with your converter.

you purchase the FMT-2 flush mounting kit option, part 913-24.
Full fitting instructions are included in the FMT-2 flush mounting kit.
Warning: Do not mount the ICS NAV5plus in a position where sea spray
can reach it, or where it may be exposed to direct sunlight
16
Electrical Connections
A connection must be made to a 12 or 24 V DC supply via a circuit breaker
capable of supplying at least 2 amps. Connection should be to the ships
radio battery and be in accordance with GMDSS requirements.
•
Connections are made directly to the screw terminals on the ICS
NAV5plus mating connector at the rear of the unit using the 1m length
cable provided.
•
Use cable ties to restrain the wiring, and so prevent it becoming
weakened by vibration. The connecting cables should be restrained by
securing them to the rear of the ICS NAV5plus bracket, or to adjacent
metalwork.
Safety Warning
The ICS NAV5plus has been designed and manufactured to be
completely safe when used in accordance with the instructions
given in this manual. To ensure that the complete installation is
safe, it is essential that a fuse or circuit breaker is installed in the
supply cable as described in the Installation Section of this
manual.
The ICS NAV5plus is supplied with a DC power cable and an inline Type ‘T’ 2.5 amp fuse. It is essential that this fuse is included
in the installation.
To ensure the best possible protection of the ICS NAV5plus from
static electricity or nearby lighting strikes, the pre-fitted green
grounding wire (connected to the safety earth stud) must be
connected to a nearby (hull) electrical grounding point.

18
Selecting a Suitable Antenna
The ICS NAV5plus receives transmissions on two frequencies. 518 kHz
transmissions are in International English; 490 kHz tranmissions may be in
a local language.
To receive on both frequencies the ICS NAV5plus must be used with a
broadband antenna that covers both 518 kHz and 490 kHz.
Only one antenna can be connected to the ICS NAV5plus, either to the
passive antenna input or to the active antenna input.
Several different antenna types are recommended for the ICS NAV5plus.
The best option will depend upon the receive frequencies required and the
ease of installation.
Antenna
ANT/w
Choice of Antenna
490 kHz
NAV-ANT/w *
NAV-ACTIVE *
Whip antenna with 50 ohm match
Long wire with 50 ohm match
* recommended options
518 kHz
The ICS NAV5plus must be used with a low impedance 50 Ω antenna
or an antenna with a 50 Ω matching network.
A ‘mis-matched’ or ‘high impedance’ whip or wire antenna should not be
used or the operational range of NAVTEX reception will be greatly reduced.
•
If a ‘Wire’ or ‘long whip’ antenna is used with the ICS NAV5plus it must
be fitted with a 50 Ω matching transformer.
19
Important
NAVTEX antennas must be mounted clear of obstructions and at least
0.5 metres away from other antennas.
Ensure that they cannot be snagged by mooring warps or running
rigging or engulfed by green water.
Antennas should always be mounted vertically.
Installation of a NAVTEX Antenna
The NAVTEX antenna should be mounted vertically, in an elevated
position. Metal, rigging or other antennas must not be located in the 'NO
GO cone' surrounding the upper part.
Keep this area clear
20
Installation procedure: NAV-ANT/w & NAV-ACTIVE, NAVCABLE, NAV-CLAMP/a
Start the antenna cable installation from the ICS NAV5plus (lower) end first.
Where the cable passes through bulkheads or decks, waterproof deck
glands should be installed. Securely fasten the cable against vibration using
plastic cable tie wraps.

Ensure that any cable joints are well secured and waterproofed using selfamalgamating (rubber) tape.
22
Active Antenna Installation
McMurdo recommend the NAV-ACTIVE 905.05, an active NAVTEX
antenna with PL socket and 1 inch nut fixing.
The ICS NAV5plus provides a regulated 9 V DC 100 mA output to provide
power for an active antenna. Check that your active antenna is compatible
with this power output. If it is not, then an external power supply interface
will be required. Your antenna supplier should be able to provide this.
If you use an external power supply interface then you must connect the RF
output from the interface to the ICS NAV5plus passive antenna input rather
than the active antenna input.
Securely mount the active antenna to a vertical surface or pole, route the
connecting cable though to the ICS NAV5plus using cable glands to pass
though bulkheads as required.
Connect the active antenna output coaxial cable centre core to Antenna
Connector Terminal 1 and the coaxial screen to Terminal 2.
Passive Antenna Installation
Connect the passive antenna output coaxial cable centre core to Antenna
Connector Terminal 6 and the coaxial screen to Terminal 5
Dual Antenna Installation
A dual antenna installation is NOT possible.
NAVTEX AC Power Supply Unit
Consult the installation instructions packed with the power supply.
An additional ground wire may be connected between the green safety
earth wire on the ICS NAV5plus and the ground terminal on the NAVTEX
Power Supply Unit.

Notes :
The first three lines of this print out are simply a test of the printer.
The ROMDATE and ROM lines change in line with product development.
The DISPLAY line tests the LCD display module.
The RAM and CPU lines test the memory and central processor.
The RXA-I and RXA-Q lines test the two signal paths in the 518 kHz radio
receiver.
The RXB-I and RXB-Q lines test the two signal paths in the 490 kHz radio
receiver.
The PAPER SENSOR tests whether the unit can recognise the presence of
paper in the roll holder.
The HEAD RESISTANCE letter is for service use only, and should match
the head resistance mark on the printer assembly.
This self-test is carried out automatically each time the unit is switched on,
but the results are not reported unless a fault is detected.
Three beeps mark the progress of this test.
As an additional receiver confidence test, the ICS NAV5plus also flashes
two small squares at the right hand side of the display whenever it is
receiving a NAVTEX signal, even if the message is not selected for printing.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Check that :• The antenna is mounted vertically, and is sited clear of obstructions
• The vessel is operating within the coverage area of a NAVTEX
transmitter
• The NAVTEX station(s) selected are transmitting, two small squares at
the right hand side of the ICS NAV5plus display show whenever a
NAVTEX signal is received
• The required NAVTEX station and message categories have not been
de-selected in the ICS NAV5plus set-up menu
Antenna
Check that the antenna is clear of obstructions and has not suffered
external damage. Check that the antenna cable is not damaged.
Receiver
Perform a system self test - refer to Self Test section for details.
• At scheduled transmission time, look for two small squares at the right
hand side of the ICS NAV5plus display; these flash whenever a
NAVTEX signal is received.
Printer
If there is no sign of life from the printer after power up and a printer fault is
shown on the LCD display, check that there is no paper jammed in the
printer.
• If the printer operates but nothing is printed, check that the paper roll is
of a type recommended by ICS and that the ‘heat sensitive side’ of the
paper is uppermost (as that paper exits the door, test with a ‘hot’ item).
Paper Out
•
In the case of a “Paper Out” alarm, replace the paper roll
•
If the paper has not run out, check that the paper roll is fitted correctly
26
Default Reset
Use the Default Reset to reset the ICS NAV5plus to the factory default
settings. This sets all NAVTEX stations and message categories to on.
• Turn the unit off
• Hold down the alarm silence button
while pushing the
power button
• The ICS NAV5plus will sound a bleep, and load default settings
Self Test
Run the ICS NAV5plus self test, refer to ‘self test’ section for details.
Should any item on the self test fail, turn the ICS NAV5plus off and on again
and repeat the system self test. Should any item on the self test list fail a
second time, contact your supplier for advice or call the McMurdo Technical
Help Line for assistance.

Printer Jam
Mishandling of the paper when installing a new paper roll can sometimes
cause the printer to jam.
If the moving printer head is allowed to catch the edge of the paper roll the
printer mechanism may stall. This will result in a ‘printer fault’ being
reported by the unit (alarm : ‘bleep-bleep’, ‘bleep-bleep’, ‘bleep-bleep’).
This condition may be avoided by first ensuring that the new paper roll has
a flat, cleanly cut edge.
•
Consult the ‘Paper Loading’ instructions for details of the paper load
procedure
Should a paper jam occur, do not pull on the paper or try to force the printer
head sideways as such action may cause damage to the printer and may
invalidate your warranty.
Clearing a Paper Jam
As the procedure to clear a ‘stalled printer’ involves disassembly of the
main unit it is recommended that this should only be attempted by
authorised service personnel.
In the first instance :
Contact the dealer who supplied your unit for further instructions.
If you are still not satisfied contact the McMurdo Electronics Technical
Helpline for assistance.
