Page 3CPV350Congratulations on you purchase of the CPV350C GPS Chart Plotter with VHF FM MarineTransceiver!Whether this is your first GPS chartplotter, or if you have other STANDARD HORIZONequipment, the STANDARD HORIZON organization is committed to ensuring your enjoy-ment of this GPS chartplotter. STANDARD HORIZON technical support personnel standbehind every product we sell, and our Product Support team invites you to contact us shouldyou require technical advice or assistance, at 800/767-2450.CLEANING PROCEDURE FOR THE CHARTPLOTTER SCREENCleaning of the chartplotter screen is a very important and must be done carefully.Since the surface  is covered by a antireflective coating, the procedure for cleaningall the surfaces can be performed using the following procedure: You need a softtissue or towel and a cleaning spray (Windex) containing Isopropanol (a normalspray cleaner sold for a PC screen, for example PolaClear by Polaroid). Fold thetissue or lens tissue into a triangular shape, moisten the tip and use the index fingerbehind a corner to move the tissue across the surface, in overlapping side to sidestrokes. If the tissue is too wet, a noticeable wet film will be left in its path and youwill need to repeat the process. If too dry, the tissue won’t glide easily, and maydamage the surface.CAUTION  The GPS chartplotter is designed for maritime use. Please give attention to avoidwater intrusion into the C-MAP NT+/MAX C-CARD cartridge holder.  Extensive exposure to heat may result in damage to the GPS chartplotter.  The GPS chartplotter contains dangerous high voltage circuits which only expe-rienced technicians can handle.  STANDARD HORIZON will not be liable for errors contained herein, or forincidental or consequential damages in connection with the performance or useof this material.

Page 15CPV350Figure 2.5 CPV350 Rear Panel2.3.1 VHF AntennaABOUT VHF RADIOThe radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with someshore stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band providescommunications over distances that are essentially “line of sight” (VHF signals do not travelwell through objects such as buildings, hills or trees). Actual transmission range dependsmuch more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter.On a fixed mount 25W radio transmission expected distances could be greater than 15miles.2.3.2 Selecting a Marine VHF AntennaMarine antennas are made to radiate signals equally in all horizontal directions, but notstraight up. The objective of a marine antenna is to enhance the signal toward the horizon.The degree to which this is accomplished is called the antenna’s gain. It is measured indecibels (dB) and is one of the major factors in choosing an antenna. In terms of effectiveradiated power (ERP), antennas are rated on the basis of how much gain they have overa theoretical antenna with zero gain. A 3-foot, 3dB gain antenna represents twice as muchgain over the imaginary antenna. Typically a 3-foot 3dB gain stainless steel whip is used ona sailboat mast. The longer 8-foot 6dB fiberglass whip is primarily used on powerboats thatrequire the additional gain.1523467

Coaxial cable is specified by its diameter and construction. For runs lessthan 20 feet, RG-58/U, about 1/4 inch in diameter is a good choice. For runs over 20 feetbut less than 50 feet, the larger RG-8X should be used for cable runs over 50 feet RG213should be used. For installation of the connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figurebelow. Figure 2.4.0 Installing the VHF antenna To get your coax cable through a fitting andinto your boat's interior, you may have to cut off the end plug and reattach it later. You cando this if you follow the directions that come with the connector. Be sure to make goodsoldered connections.Figure 2.4.0 Installing the VHF antennaTo get your coax cable through a fitting and into your boat’s interior, you may haveto cut off the end plug and reattach it later.

Page 21CPV3502.4 GPS ANTENNA2.4.0 Mounting the GPS WAAS Smart AntennaThe CPV350 is supplied with a 12 Channel GPS WAAS Smart antenna. This antenna isdesigned to be mounted on a base, installed on an extension or even flush mounted.Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky and is not located within3 FT of Radar or other transmitting antenna. Ensure there are no major obstructions orfixtures in the immediate proximity to the antenna. The antenna relies on direct “line of sight”satellite reception. If you are unsure of the chosen location, temporarily mount the antennain the desired location to verify correct operation. If mounted close to Radar, and after theGPS chartplotter has a fix, turn on the Caps on RADAR to ensure the GPS chartplotter holdsthe fix (use the GPS Status Page).2.4.1 Mounting on a PoleThe thread used on the antenna is an industry standard (1 inch 14TPI) used on a wide rangeof mounting brackets. Due to the manufacturing process of these mounting brackets youmay see some slop when tightening down the antenna to the bracket. This is no concernhowever as the antenna must be tightened until the antenna stops rotating.NOTEThe antenna cable can be cut and spliced to ease installation. Care must be taken whenreconnecting the antenna cable to protect from water and corrosion.2.4.2 Flush MountingNOTEBefore drilling holes, it is recommended the antenna be positioned where the location is plannedto be drilled, cable connected to the CPV350 and the CPV350 turned on to ensure a GPS fix isreceived.1. Remove the threaded base from the antenna dome.2. To ease installation a flush mounting template for the antenna has been included.3. Apply the mounting template sticker to the area that was verified for GPS reception.4. Then, drill out the 0.63” (16 mm) and 0.16” (4 mm) holes, and remove the template.5. Insert the cable into the 0.63” (16 mm) hole and route to the CPV350.6. Apply a small amount or RTV to the under side of the antenna.7. Place the antenna and then screw it into place using the screws. In some cases thescrew may not be long enough, if this happens simply apply more RTV to the undersideof the antenna to glue it into place.

To change the GPS chartplotter to read the correcttime, first you must figure out the offset and if it is daylight savings time. For example on theWest coast of the United States or Pacific Standard Time the offset needed would be –08:00or –07:00 for daylight savings time, Eastern Standard Time –05:00 or –04:00 for daylightsavings time.Figure 6.2 - Adjusting TimeNOTEThis map shows offset for standard time.
