SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
1 .O General
Congratulations on selecting Raytheons’ NAV 398 for Loran-C/GPS navigation aboard your vessel. We are sure you will enjoy using this ultra modern,
full function, and compact navigation system. The NAV 398, with its’ large
STN LCD display, excellant graphics, on-sceen prompts, and oversized soft
silicon keys, provide simple operations to guide you through the various
navigation functions. From the moment you turn on the NAV 398, you will
be surprised at how easy it can be to use this Loran-C or GPS Navigator.
The NAV 398 is a feature-packed Navigator that operates with inputs from
the Raynav 508 or 508A Loran-C sensors, or with the Raystar 108 8-Channel
GPS sensor, or with both sensors together. One key press gives you quick
access to either navigation system.
The NAV unit includes storage for up to 500 waypoints and 10 route plans
in the NAV unit’s internal memories. The[m[ key stores your present
position as a waypoint instantly with a single key press. The[E[(ManOverboard) key not only stores an instant position with one key press, but
activates a special display to steer you back to the MOB location. A special
Dynamic CD1 display provides a 3-D effect for steering to destinations in
the route; even showing turns in the route and waypoints along the way.

1.1 About This Manual
The purpose of this manual is
to provide you with the most
important information for obtaining the best operation and
performance from your NAV
unit. Please take the necessary
time to read the various sections.

INTRODUCTION

l-l

In the event that you are using a Loran-C Navigator for the first time, please
refer to the Raynav 508/508~ Loran-C Sensor instruction manual for basic
loran information. The Introduction section of the 508 manual includes a
listing of common Loran C Terminology used with loran.
If your NAV398 is using the RAYSTAR 108 GPS Sensor, the Raystar 108
instruction manual includes a general description of the GPS system which
may also be helpful. The Raystar 108 GPS sensor is compatible with
Raytheon’s Differential Beacon Receiver. If you have added the DGPS
Receiver to your system, a simple explanation of the US Coast Guard’s
DGPS system is included in that manual for your reference.
Section 2 of this manual contains important information concerning the
installation of your new NAV unit. Although the typical installation might
seem straightforward and simple, we highly recommend that this section be
read completely and the guidelines for installation be closely followed to
assure a more trouble free and efficient operation of your new unit.
Section 3 covers the Operations of the NAV 398 and is intended to get you

thoroughly familiar with the unit’s controls and display formats. The NAV
398 uses many on-screen prompts to help guide you through operations and
logical key operations, which should be easy to remember.
The best way to learn about your NAV 398 is to dive right in. You can’t
damage the unit by randomly pressing the keys, so don’t be afraid to
experiment. If at any time the results appear confusing, just press the pl
key and start again.
Section 4 contains technical information concerning some basic care and

maintenance for your unit. In the event that the unit should ever require
repairs, it is recommended that these services be provided by an Authorized
Raytheon repair facility or by the Raytheon Factory Service Center.
Before proceeding to install this unit, please take a few moments to fill out
the warranty registration card located behind the front cover of this manual.

INSTALLATION
2.0 General
Although your NAV 398 is designed to the highest levels of quality and
performance, it can best attain those standards only when it has been properly
installed. This section provides the user with practical guidelines to assist in
the planning and the installation of the NAV 398 aboard your vessel.
2.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Use care when unpacking the unit from its shipping carton to prevent
damage to the contents. It is also good practice to save the carton and interior
packing material until the unit has been installed on the vessel. The original
packing material should be used in the unlikely event that it is necessary to
return the unit to the factory.

2.2.1 Choosing a Location
When choosing the location to mount the NAV Display unit, please consider
the following criteria for the site:
l The best location to provide ease of operation and viewing of the unit.
l The best location to provide protection from the elements of the
environment. Even though the NAV 398 is designed to meet the toughest
USCG waterproofing specifications, common sense dictates that it
should be mounted, whenever possible, so that it is not exposed to the
direct effects of salt spray or the hot sun.
l The best location with the most separation from sources of interference.

required. When using the Trim Ring Kit, add 3/4” to the width and height
clearance dimensions.
CAUTION
Make sure there are no hidden electrical wires or other items behind the
desired location before proceeding. Check to see that free access for mounting and cabling is available.
2.Using the dimensions for the cutout hole shown,
draw the pattern for the cutout hole on the console.
3. Drill two l/2” pilot holes inside the cutout guide
area at diagonal corners.
4. Using an appropriate saw, cut along the outside
of the cutout line.
5. Remove the yoke knobs and the yoke and the rubber spacers from the
cabinet. If using the Flush Mount Kit verify that the unit fits correctly into
the cutout. If using the Trim Ring Kit, attach the Trim Ring, then test fit into
the cutout. It may be necessary to notch out some clearance in the cutout to
pass the trim ring hardware through the panel.
7. Complete the installation of the DC power cable, data output, and sensor
wiring into the console as per section 2.4 of this chapter. Be sure to allow
some slack in the cables for service to the equipment when necessary.
8. Connect all cables to the unit rear panel.
9. Insert the NAV unit into the panel. Use a flat washer, locking washer,
and nut on each stud and secure to the console. In some cases you may prefer
to apply a light coat of RTV sealant around the cutout to seal the console.
2.3 Electrical Connections
The standard connections which are
normally made to enable the NAV 398
to operate are the ship’s DC power, to
either a Raynav 508 or 508A Loran-C
sensor or to a Raystar 108 GPS sensor
or both. The NAV unit can also supply
NMEA data to other equipments. The
next sections discuss how to make
these connections.

2.3.1 Power Input
The NAV 398 is intended for use on vessels with 12 VDC power systems
and can operate as long as the DC supply is maintained between 10 and 16
volts. The DC power system can be “negative” ground or have both positive
and negative supply lines “floating” above ground. The NAV 398 is not

intended for use on pas itiv,a” pround ve&
A 6 foot cable assembly containing wiring for the DC power and Data
Output is supplied with your display unit and in many cases will be adequate
to reach near the source of the 12 VDC power.
For best noise immunity
from other shipboard electronics, if possible, avoid
grouping the power connections on the same circuit
breaker with radar, radio, or
echo sounder power leads.
The NAV unit’s wiring
should be kept separate as
much as possible from other
devices.

Power Cable Wiring Diagram

Although the NAV unit’s power consumption is typically less than 5 watts,
if the power leads need to be extended more than 10 feet, the wire size of the
leads should be increased accordingly to minimize line losses. For cable runs
of 20 - 35 feet #12 AWG wire is recommended.
1 OBSERVE PROPER POLARITY! 1
The RED wire should be connected to the POSITIVE (+) sauce terminal;
the BLACK wire should be connected to the NEGATIVE (-) source
terminal If the power leads are accidentally reversed, the in-line fuse will
blow. If this happens, recheck the polarity of the connections with a voltmeter
(VOM) and, if necessary, reverse the leads for proper connection. Replace
the fuse.
2.3.2 Sensor Connections
The sensor units used with the NAV 398 normally obtain their 12VDC
operating power input from the NAV unit and, when the NAV unit has been
turned ON, the sensors can then proceed to locate and track signals and

INSTALLATION 2-5

provide ship’s L/L position data on their own
without other input requirements.
In a typical installation, the 6-pin GPS sensor
connector is plugged directly into the jack labeled
“GPS” on the rear of the cabinet. The 5 Pin plug
of the Loran-C sensor is connected to the jack
labeled “LORAN”.
‘SZ

If you are using the Raystar 108 GPS sensor
together with the DGPS Beacon Receiver, the “Y”
cable lead marked “Display” plugs into the GPS
jack.
2.3.3 Interface to External Navaids
The Power cable assembly (shown in the figure) includes two wires which
can provide an output of NMEA 0183 formatted data or SeaT&data for
other navigational equipment such as radars, auto-pilots, video sounders, and
plotters. Since the NAV unit outputs one data or the other, the same
connections are used for either NMEA or SeaTalk data. The wires are
marked and colored as follows:
YELLOW = DATA+
GREEN
= DATA The NAV 398 may supply NMEA 0183 data for up to three external
equipments. Navaid devices connected to this output can receive the following NMEA 0 183 sentences:
If LORAN Sensor is in use:
GLL, GTD, RMA, RMB, VTG, APA, APB, BWC.

If GPS Sensor is in use:
GLL, RMC, RMB, VTG, APA, APB, HSC, BWC.

When SeaTalk data is used, the NAV unit provides: magnetic variation,
COG, Cross-Track error, Lat./Long, GPS status data (including HDOP, fix
status), SOG, waypoint #, bearing, and distance, Arrival alarm, and MOB
signals to the SeaTalk bus.
External navigation equipment requiring NMEA 0183 data inputs normally obtain their required data via connection to the NAV 398 data output (
yellow & green ) wires. However, some users may wish to operate the GPS
(or Loran) sensor unit directly with other navigational equipment capable of

accepting position data in the NMEA format. Please refer to the Raystar 108
or Raynav 508/508A instruction manuals for details on making this type of
interconnection.
Data Input
One feature of the NAV398 is to transfer the waypoint and route memory
contents of the internal memory to external computer files and to re-load the
memory from the computer.
Downloading of files occurs through the Data Output connections (Green
and Yellow wires). To Upload files into the NAV unit the Data Input wires
of the power cable assembly should be used. Make connections as follows:
DATAIN + = WHITE
DATA IN - = BROWN
The data Input must be in the NMEA 0 183 format using the WPL and RTE
sentences.
2.3.4 Ground Connection
One important need in any installation is to obtain the cleanest, noise-free
signals possible, for measuring and calculating your position. Part of this
requirement can be met by assuring a proper connection from your NAV unit
to the ship’s ground system. The ground system provides both a completion
of the signal path for the sensor and a drain for noise sources.
There are two separate wires labeled “GROUND” in the cable assembly.
Both the WHITE and BROWN wires should be connected to the nearest
connection point of the ship’s Rl? ground system.
Normally, on a steel hull boat, a good clean connection to the ship’s hull
makes a sufficient ground. On Fiberglas or wood hull vessels, connection to
a ground plate or to the engine block or other bonded groundwork should
provide acceptable grounding.

SECTION3
OPERATION
3.1 General
This chapter provides instructions for the operation of your new NAV 398
LCD NAVigator unit.
We think you will find the operation of the NAV 398 to be easy and
straightforward. The approach to take in becoming familiar with it’s operation is one of relaxed confidence. The unit is quite “user friendly” and relies
on screen prompting to guide you through the operations and set-up menus.
As you progress through the operating section, take time to practice each
function of your NAV398. Study the illustrations and repeat operations, if
necessary, until you have become comfortable and confident. Time spent in
becoming familiar with the unit will strengthen your knowledge, confidence,
and skill in using this full-featured NAVigator where it counts....afloat.
Thank you for selecting one of
Raytheon’s fine NAVigation products.
Great care and effort has been put into
providing you with a useful, attractive _
design. We are sure it will provide
many years of valuable NAVigation
data and trouble free operation.
3.2 The Keyboard
The NAV 398 is designed for simple
operation, but if you should ever become confused over which display you
are on or, if you get lost while performing various operations or entries,usually pressing the -1
will always
key return you to the Position display
or the familiar Main menu.
One other item to remember about the keyboard is that a “valid” or correct
key press is confirmed by a single audio “beep” tone, while if an invalid or
wrong key is pressed, a series of multiple “beeps” will be heard. If this
happens, just check the screen again and pick the proper key operation.

OPERATION 3-1

The keyboard consists of 15 silicon rubber keys. Some of the keys carry
dual labels such as(ormkeys and are normally used to enter the
main operations of the NAV unit. The numeric operation of the key is used
once vou have entered the main oueration. Notice that some keys such as
1-1 and/morJMENUJ have only one label and perform only one
operation when depressed. When Menus are on screen, th$%%& IGoTo/7)
and thdE[ keys are softkeys used to activate selections on the menus.
