(RefPntExt:) = The position of any external positioning device (GPS Antenna) used as primary position source. (RefPntInt:) = The position of the GPS Antenna (fallback device in case primary source is disabled). After antenna installation, the distance from the sides must be measured and input. Either the distance from the vessel's bow (a) or the stern (b) and starboard (d) and backboard (c) are required. A vessel with the following dimensions: Length: Beam: Input: 100m 20m A90C5 - then press Enter or B10D15 - then press Enter A90 B10 C5 D15m Result: RefPtExt: The NAUTICAST automatically calculates the missing distances (a) or (b) and (c) or (d) - based on the vessel's length and beam. Note: When receiving position data from large vessels, it should be considered that the position refers to the antenna mounting point upon the vessel. To ensure accurate navigation, the antenna reference points (see Other Vessels Details) should be taken into consideration when determining the vessels position. User Manual 51 Y1-03-0207 Rev. A Also, the electronic chart display in use should be programmed to consider the antenna reference points. Traffic images are represented in true distances only when all displayed targets, including own vessel, are working with AIS position information, which considers Antenna reference points. Sample: Display: CallSign = D11233 ShipName = M/V TUGELA Length = 20m Beam = 30m RefPointExt = A170 B30 C15 D15m (location of the external GPS antenna) RefPointInT = A170 B30 C9 D11m (location of the internal GPS antenna) ShipType = Tug With the up/down keys you may move from line to line and input the correct data. The last line "ShipType:" must be selected by actuating the left/right keys out of the pool of all possible types. Actuate "Enter " Special is the setting of the GPS antenna position: The first settings which have to be entered are Length and Beam of the ship in meters. Next step: enter 2 values more per location to specify the distance from the bow and from the side. A = the distance from bow to the antenna B= the distance from the antenna to the stern C = the distance from the port side to the antenna D = the distance from the antenna to the starboard side Example: Length =200m, A = 160m, Beam = 30m, D = 15m Move with Up/down keys to the Length line. Type 30, actuate "Enter " RefPtExt and RefPtInt both show "N/A" now. Only one of the length values A or B must be entered and one of the width values C or D. For our example in the RefPtExt ­ line type as follows: A160D15 (without spaces) Actuate "Enter " The full line as shown will be displayed: RefPtExt: A160 B40 C15 D15m B and C are calculated by the AIS. Do the same with the RefPtInt ­ line Actuate soft key "Save" Display: Data Saved User Manual 52 Y1-03-0207 Rev.
