General Safety Information for the Operator
WARNING Never rely on one heading source alone to navigate a vessel.

Always confirm the plausibility of the NAVIGAT 2100 heading and the
speed and position input data against all available aids to navigation.
WARNING Before using this system, operators must be appropriately trained and
familiar with the operating procedures and safety instructions contained
in this manual.
Keep system manuals in a well-known, readily available location.
WARNING Make sure that the NAVIGAT 2100 has completed the alignment before
using its heading as the reference for heading control systems, RADAR,
ECDIS, etc.
A magnetic heading source should be made active only in case of failure
of the gyrocompass(es).
CAUTION At each new alignment (restart) of the fiber-optic sensor, the current
speed and position data must be checked by the operator and confirmed
at the NAVIGAT 2100 CDU. Failure to confirm the input data will prevent
the system from entering the normal operational mode.
CAUTION A successful alignment is essential for the error-free operation of the

NAVIGAT 2100.
The system will immediately recognize if sensor measurements or exter-
nal data inputs fall outside the permitted ranges. However, inaccurate or
false data inputs (speed and/or position) within the permitted ranges can-
not be recognized.
Should the system perform an alignment using inaccurate speed and/or
position data, the basis of the heading calculation will be flawed.
As a result, erroneous heading values will be produced or the system
may raise a plausibility error. This may happen after a considerable time
of apparently flawless operation.
A new alignment using accurate speed and position inputs will be neces-
sary to recover from such a condition.
CAUTION In systems incorporating the heading management system / compass

monitor NAVITWIN, make sure that the NAVIGAT 2100 fully recovers
from the error when an alarm has been acknowledged remotely from the
NAVITWIN.
In certain cases, it may be necessary to take further action to return the
NAVIGAT 2100 to normal operation, e.g. it might be required to change
the speed or position data source or to initiate a new alignment (restart)
of the system.

NAVIGAT 2100 056294/H
Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Design and Main Features
The NAVIGAT 2100 Fiber-Optic Gyrocompass is a solid-state, fully elec-

tronic marine gyrocompass system, designed for integrated bridges and
advanced high-speed vessels.
As a gyrocompass, the system complies with IMO resolutions A.424(IX),

A.694(17) and A.821(19), and with EN ISO 8728.
The rate of turn output of the NAVIGAT 2100 complies with IMO resolu-
tion A.526(13).
The NAVIGAT 2100 has been type approved by the German Federal Mar-
itime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH), in accordance with the Marine
Equipment Directive (MED) 96/98/EC, as modified by Directive 2002/75/
EC, and to the High-Speed Craft Code.
The extremely short settling time (<30 minutes under static conditions,
<45 minutes at sea) will be of great advantage for fast ferries.
The high dynamic accuracy, coupled with the absence of north speed
error, much increases the safety, particularly that of high-speed craft at
high latitudes during frequent manoeuvres.
The fiber-optic gyrocompass may also be used as a sensor for stabilizer

systems, not only on merchant marine vessels but also on hydrofoils
and catamarans.
In addition to the fiber-optic sensor unit, a basic NAVIGAT 2100 system

comprises the interface and power supply unit (IPSU) and the control
and display unit (CDU). The IPSU provides a number of serial data inter-
faces to distribute heading, attitude and other data to analogue and dig-
ital display units and to external equipment such as heading control
systems, RADAR, ECDIS etc.
Rate of turn and X/Y rates or roll/pitch angles are also provided as ana-
logue signals.
Inputs are provided to receive speed and position data as well as mag-
netic heading data.
Design and Main Features 1-1

056294/H NAVIGAT 2100
1.2 Operating Principle

The north-seeking element used in the NAVIGAT 2100 system is the
fiber-optic sensor unit type 4913. The unit is a solid-state design with no
moving parts. Designed in strapdown technology, it is attached directly
to the vessel, eliminating the use of a gimbal system.
The unit contains three fiber-optic rate gyros, a dual-axis electrolytic

level sensor, a navigation processor unit and a power supply.
Figure 1-1: Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (Z axis)

fiber-optic sensor unit
(cover removed) Nav. Processor and Power Supply Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (X axis)
Dual-Axis Electrolytic Level Sensor Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (Y axis)
The three rate gyros are mounted at right angles to each other, and thus
measure the rotation of the system about the vessel-referenced X, Y and
Z axes. The electrolytic level sensor measures the inclination of the X
and Y axes relative to the horizontal.
This configuration is known as an „analytical platform“. From the vessel-

referenced sensor measurements and the external speed and position
inputs, the navigation processor derives the direction of true North,
using a complex Kalman filter algorithm.
To initialize the Kalman filter parameters, a so-called alignment is per-

formed when the system starts up. During the align phase and during
normal operation, the system continuously and simultaneously per-
forms two essential tasks which make it north-seeking, namely horizon-
tation and North orientation.
At power-up, the system establishes

a virtual plane, fixed in space, the
so-called inertial plane.
1-2 Operating Principle

NAVIGAT 2100 056294/H
Evaluating the data from the elec-

trolytic level sensor, the system is
able to determine how the inertial
plane would have to be tilted to
bring it into the horizontal at the
vessel’s location.
Through transformation of the
measured rates, the system is also
able to determine how the vessel’s
movements and the earth’s rotation
act on the virtual horizontal plane.
Evaluating the data from the exter-

nal speed and position inputs, the
system is able to calculate the com-
ponent of the earth’s rotation which
acts upon the virtual horizontal
plane and thus knows the rate at
which the plane must be tilted to
always keep it horizontal on the
rotating earth’s surface.
Through evaluating the plane’s

movements over time, it is also pos-
sible to determine the direction of
true North. This is accomplished by
mathematically rotating the plane
until its North-South axis will not tilt
due to the earth’s rotation.
As the tasks of horizontation and North orientation are performed con-

tinuously, the NAVIGAT 2100 is not subject to loss of accuracy due to
drift effects, that occur in other inertial navigation systems used e.g. in
aviation, which merely sum up changes of attitude over time.
Operating Principle 1-3

056294/H NAVIGAT 2100
1.3 Example System Configurations
Standalone Gyrocompass/TMC System
In a standalone system, the NAVIGAT 2100 displays heading and atti-

tude data from the fiber-optic sensor unit.
If a fluxgate sensor, type 4863, or an electronic magnetic compass is

installed, the NAVIGAT 2100 applies magnetic variation and distributes
magnetic heading data to external equipment (TMC function).
The heading diff. alarm function permits to monitor the difference
between the gyro and magnetic heading sources.
In case of failure of the gyrocompass, the magnetic heading source may
be activated to provide an emergency heading reference for repeaters
and other peripheral equipment.

1-4 Example System Configurations

NAVIGAT 2100 056294/H
Standard Dual NAVIGAT 2100 Gyrocompass/TMC System
The system shown in Figure 1-3 below is the standard configuration for
a dual NAVIGAT 2100 gyrocompass system.
In addition to the two NAVIGAT 2100 compasses, this system comprises

the NAVITWIN IV heading management system and the Switch-Over
Unit Type 4932.
By selecting the active heading source at the NAVITWIN IV, the operator
determines which compasses’ data is distributed via the Switch-Over
Unit to external equipment, such as heading control systems, RADAR,
compass repeaters etc.
The heading diff. alarm function permits to monitor the difference

between any two of the available heading sources.
The off heading alarm function permits to monitor the difference
between the actual heading from the active source and the set heading
order, as received from a heading control system or entered manually.
Alarms generated locally by a NAVIGAT gyrocompass are indicated and

may be acknowledged at the NAVITWIN IV.
In turn, the NAVITWIN IV transmits system-wide operational settings
and setup parameters to the NAVIGAT gyrocompasses.
The available heading sources, the current source selection and the hdg.
diff. threshold are also indicated at both gyrocompasses.
If a magnetic heading source is installed, NAVIGAT 2100 applies mag-

netic variation and distributes the data to external equipment (TMC
function). In case of failure of the gyrocompasses, the magnetic heading
source may be activated to provide an emergency heading reference for
repeaters and other peripheral equipment.

Chapter 2: Operation
2.1 Operating Conditions

As a solid state device, the NAVIGAT 2100 is not subject to the mechani-
cally induced errors which occur in conventional gyrocompasses.
However, because the heading is determined mathematically from the

sensor measurements and from external data, the inputs to the system
must lie within certain ranges.
The specified system accuracies will be attained if the following limits

for internal (sensed) and external data are not exceeded:
• Roll and pitch angles: ± 20°.

• Turn rates, around all axes: ± 20°/s.
• Acceleration, along all axes: ± 10 m/s².
• Max. speed: ±75 kn.
• Latitude: between 75° S and 75° N.
• Accuracy of speed input: ±1.0 kn, update rate between 1 and 16 Hz.
The system will continue to operate with reduced accuracies within the
following maximum limits:
• Roll angle: ± 90°.

• Pitch angle ± 60°.
• Turn rates, around all axes: ± 90°/s.
• Latitude: between 85° S and 85° N.
To perform a successful alignment, the following additional require-

ments are to be met:
• The vessel must not be permanently inclined to one side (listing or

heeling) by more than 10°.
• The latitude input at the start of the align phase must be accurate to
within ± 0.3°.
CAUTION A successful alignment is essential for the error-free operation of the

NAVIGAT 2100.
The system will immediately recognize if sensor measurements or exter-
nal data inputs fall outside the permitted ranges. However, inaccurate or
false data inputs (speed and/or position) within the permitted ranges can-
not be recognized.
Should the system perform an alignment using inaccurate speed and/or
position data, the basis of the heading calculation will be flawed.
As a result, erroneous heading values will be produced or the system
may raise a plausibility error. This may happen after a considerable time
of apparently flawless operation.
A new alignment using accurate speed and position inputs will be neces-
sary to recover from such a condition.

2.3 External control devices

Depending on the installation, external devices may be present which
remotely control certain functions of the NAVIGAT 2100:
• An external device may be used to select the “active” source, i.e. the
heading reference to be distributed to compass repeaters, heading
control system, RADAR, ECDIS etc.).
• An external selector switch may be used to reverse the heading
(apply a 180° offset to the heading data) e.g. for operation in double-
ended ferries.
• The audible alarm at the NAVIGAT 2100 the may be muted from a
remote device, e.g. a central alarm panel.

The NAVIGAT 2100 is not equipped with a power switch. The system
powers up as soon as supply power is applied.
1. Upon power up, the system test is executed:

A startup screen is shown.
A status line at the bottom of the
screen indicates the progress
and results of the following
tests:
- RAM test
- I/O test

system, the required manual settings for the speed and position inputs
must be entered at the NAVITWIN.
CAUTION At each new alignment (restart) of the fiber-optic sensor, the current
speed and position data must be checked by the operator and confirmed
at the NAVIGAT 2100 CDU. Failure to confirm the input data will prevent
the system from entering the normal operational mode.
2-4 Startup/Align Procedure

NAVIGAT 2100 056294/H

2.5 Selecting the active heading source

The operator may select one of the available heading sources as the
“active” source, i.e. the heading reference to be distributed to compass
repeaters, heading control system, RADAR, ECDIS etc.).
The currently active heading source is indicated by a bold frame around

its display and a pair of arrow symbols next to the source’s name.
To change the active heading

Note The active heading source can be changed in a manual steering mode
only. In automatic steering modes, source selection is disabled and an
error beep will be given when a source selector key is pressed.
If the system is configured for source selection from an external device,
the selector keys are disabled and an error beep is given when the oper-
ator attempts to select the source locally at the NAVIGAT 2100.
WARNING Make sure that the NAVIGAT 2100 has completed the alignment before

2.7 Optional Functions

The following functions may be available if the system is equipped with
the respective external controls and configured accordingly.
Muting Alarms Remotely
On alarm, actuate the mute control at a remote device (e.g. a central

alarm panel). The audible alarm is muted.
Note A remotely muted alarm remains in the pending (unacknowledged) state.

The alarm is indicated as pending in the alarm window until the alarm is
acknowledged at the NAVIGAT 2100 or the cause of the alarm is elimi-
nated.
Reversing the Heading Display (180° offset)
To reverse the heading display, e.g. for operation on double-ended fer-

ries, activate the 180° offset function at the associated external control.
Note The heading display may be reversed automatically in some installa-

tions, e.g. when control is centrally transferred between fore and aft
steering stands.
Resetting/Acknowledging a Central Watch Alarm
If connected to a central watch alarm facility ('dead man alarm'), the

NAVIGAT 2100 will automatically reset the watch alarm timer whenever
a key is pressed on the unit.
Should a watch alarm be given, pressing any key at the NAVIGAT 2100
will acknowledge the alarm and reset the watch alarm timer.
Selecting the Rate of Turn Damping Time Constant
Two time constants are available to damp the analogue rate of turn out-
put signal. If an external control switch or pushbutton is installed, the
operator may select between „high“ and „low“ damping.
Note The damping is applied to the analogue rate of turn output only. Serial
rate of turn data and the value displayed at the CDU are not damped.

5.3 Initial System Configuration

To make the system fully functional, the configuration parameters must
be set to the required values in the Service Setup 1. Additionally, the
applicable standard operational settings should be entered in the Man-
ual Settings menu.
To configure the system:
1. Check that the wiring has been carried out completely. All devices
connected to data or signal in- and outputs should be operative.
2. Energize the system at the vessel's switch and fuse unit.
A startup message is displayed and the initial selftest is executed.
3. Go to the Service Setup 1.
4. Set the required system type and heading reference selection set-
tings.
5. In dual or triple gyro systems, assign the required compass ID. In
single gyro systems, assign ID 1.
6. Select the required data formats for all devices connected to the data
inputs. Disable unused heading source inputs.
7. Select the required protocol settings for all data outputs and the
applicable standard for the NMEA outputs.
8. If required, set the parameters for the analogue outputs, the status
in- and outputs and the rudder angle feedback inputs.
To finalize the installation:
1. Set the operational parameters the Manual Settings menu to suita-

ble values. Wherever possible, automatic data input should be
selected in preference of manual input.
2. Enter the current date and time in the User Setup menu.
3. After configuration, function-check the system with all connected
equipment in operation. Use the test mode in the Service Setup 1 to
check the heading output to serial and 6 step/° repeaters and the ana-
logue rate of turn output.
4. To bring the NAVIGAT 2100 into working order, the existing align-
ment, roll and pitch errors must now be determined and the error
correction applied as described under "Alignment, Roll and Pitch
Error Correction" below.
5. If a magnetic heading source is connected to the NAVIGAT 2100, the
magnetic compass calibration procedure should be carried out dur-
ing a sea trial, as described under "Magnetic Compass Calibration"
below.

5.4 Alignment, Roll and Pitch Error Correction

In order to obtain correct heading, roll and pitch data, the existing mis-
alignment (i.e. the angular difference between the compass’ and the
vessel’s X, Y, and Z axes) must be determined and the required correc-
tions applied. All corrections are carried out electronically by setting the
correction values in the Service Setup 1.
Alignment error (heading error) is 0° if the long sides of the sensor hous-
ing run exactly parallel to the vessel‘s fore-and-aft axis (X axis) and the
„ahead“ marking on top of the housing points towards the bow.
Roll and pitch error are 0° if the sensor mounting surface lies exactly
parallel to a plane through the vessel’s X and Y axes.

Alignment, Roll and Pitch Error Correction 5-5

056294/H NAVIGAT 2100
Correction Procedure
1. Determine the existing alignment error by comparing the heading

displayed by the NAVIGAT 2100 with the vessel's true heading. The
true heading must be known to an accuracy of at least 0.5°.
CAUTION The NAVIGAT 2100 must have successfully completed the align phase
with correct position and speed input before the existing alignment, roll
and pitch errors are determined.
If bearing repeaters are used to determine the true heading, these must
be properly aligned to the vessel's center line.
2. In the Service Setup 1, select the correction value sub-menu.

If the fiber-optic sensor is connected to heading source input 1, call
up the Sensor 1 correction values.
If the fiber-optic sensor is connected to heading source input 2, call
up the Sensor 2 correction values.
SERVICE SETUP 1 3. Enter the required alignment
ALIGN ERR CORR HDG 1:+000.00˚
ROLL ERROR CORR. 1: +00.00˚ error correction value. The cor-
PITCH ERROR CORR. 1: +00.00˚ rection value equals the align-
ment error with the sign
reversed.
Example:
The vessel’s true heading is 123.0°, the compass displays 123.4°,
he required correction value is thus –0.4°.
Note After correction of the alignment error, the compass is to display the ves-
sel's true heading to an accuracy of at least 0.7° secant latitude.
4. When the required alignment error has been entered, determine the
existing roll and pitch errors by comparing the roll and pitch angles
displayed by the NAVIGAT 2100 with a known reference.
5. Enter the required roll and pitch error correction values in the Serv-
ice Setup 1. As with the alignment error correction value, the
required value equals the existing error with the sign reversed.

5.5 Magnetic Compass Calibration

Ideally, the magnetic heading displayed at the NAVIGAT 2100 would
exactly match the indication of the steering magnetic compass (at a
mag. variation of 0.0°).
In practice, however, deviations will occur between the steering mag-
netic compass heading and the heading data transmitted by a fluxgate
sensor or an electronic compass, as displayed at the NAVIGAT 2100.
The NAVIGAT 2100 automatically corrects such deviations if a calibra-

tion table has been stored and calibration is activated in the User Setup.
Note If magnetic heading is received from an already calibrated source, such

as a NAVITWIN, NAVIPILOT or a self-calibrating electronic compass, cal-
ibration at the NAVIGAT 2100 is not required and must be disabled.
CAUTION The magnetic heading calibration corrects deviations due to the com-
bined effects of the magnetic environment, the particular sensor being
used and the receiving circuitry inside the NAVIGAT 2100 IPSU.
Therefore, a new calibration must be carried out when:
- the steering magnetic compass is exchanged or newly adjusted,
- the magnetic heading sensor is exchanged and,
- if a fluxgate sensor is used, when the IPSU is exchanged.
It is strongly disapproved to use a true heading source, e.g. a gyrocom-

pass, as the calibration reference.
Also, it should not be attempted to correct residual deviations of a prop-
erly adjusted magnetic compass by means of the calibration table.
Calibration Procedure
The magnetic heading calibration is a two-step procedure.
First, the existing deviations between the indication of the steering mag-
netic compass and the magnetic heading displayed at the
NAVIGAT 2100 are determined. This requires that the vessel is swung
very slowly through a full circle so that for each 10° of magnetic com-
pass heading (0, 10, ... , 350°) the corresponding display value is
obtained.
Then, the resultant correction values are calculated and entered in the
magnetic heading calibration table at the NAVIGAT 2100. The calibration
table stores up to 50 entries (’cal. no.s’), each of which assigns a correc-
tion value to a given magnetic heading (0, 10, ... , 350°).
CAUTION The magnetic compass used as the calibration reference must be prop-
erly installed and adjusted.
The procedure should be carried out in calm seas only.
Magnetic Compass Calibration 5-7

056294/H NAVIGAT 2100
Determining magnetic heading correction values
1. Make sure that the magnetic variation is set to 0.0° in the Manual
Settings menu.
2. Make sure that the calibration is disabled (setting ’OFF’ selected in
the User Setup / Magn. Cal. Tab.)
3. Select a manual steering mode.
4. Commence a continuous, very slow and steady turn. The vessel
must be swung through one full circle (360°) at least.
5. While the vessel is turning, com-

pare the indication at the steer-
MAGN ing magnetic compass with the
COMP 000.8 magnetic heading values shown
on the NAVIGAT 2100 display.
At every full 10° of steering
magnetic compass heading (0°,
10°, ... , 350°), note the display
value.

speed log; if the active log is a pulse log and the input con-
tact is open, a speed log failure alarm is given.
Stat. Hdg. +180°

The port is used to reverse the heading displays and data
outputs (e.g. for use in double-ended ferries); when the
input contact is closed, an offset of 180° is applied to all
headings.

056294/H NAVIGAT 2100
Gen. Alarm Setup
Selects in which cases the “General Alarm” relay is actuated.
Settings: On all alarms

The relay is actuated whenever an alarm condition exists.
On fatal alarms
The relay is actuated only in case of fatal alarms. A fatal
alarm condition exists when the gyrocompass can no longer
provide its own heading data. Loss of external data and the
heading difference alarm are non-fatal alarm conditions.
Protocol Type
Selects the conformance level for NMEA outputs
Settings: IEC 61162-1

NMEA outputs conform strictly to IEC 61162-1. Proprietary
output sentences start with “$P”, followed by the manufac-
turer’s mnemonic code “PLA” and a single letter designating
the type of data transmitted, e.g. “$PPLAN...”.
NMEA 0183
NMEA outputs use the older format for proprietary output
sentences, starting with $PP, followed by a three-letter sen-
tence formatter, e.g. “$PPNSD...”.
Heading Output Source
Sets the gyro heading source for serial data heading outputs
Settings: INT HDG ONLY

Serial data heading outputs transmit the “own” (internal
fiber-optic sensor) gyro heading always, regardless of which
source is currently selected as the active heading reference.
This is the recommended setting for standalone systems as

well as for standard dual/triple gyro systems using the
Switch-Over Unit to distribute the compasses’ data to exter-
nal equipment.
INT/EXT HDG
Serial data heading outputs transmit either the internal or
the external gyro heading, depending on which source is
currently selected as the active heading reference.
In case magnetic heading is made the active reference, the
outputs will continue to transmit gyro heading from the pre-
viously active gyro source.
This setting is required in non-standard systems which use

the NAVIGAT 2100 IPSU to distribute multiple compasses’
data to external equipment.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting
7.1 General Troubleshooting Instructions

The NAVIGAT 2100 is a complex electronic system. In case of malfunc-
tion, it would neither be practical nor economical to carry out trouble-
shooting and servicing in the field down to the level of individual circuit
components.
Unless instructed otherwise by Sperry Marine engineering, field service
personnel should limit troubleshooting to:
• Visual inspection of mechanical components, PCBs and wiring.

• Continuity checks of wiring connections.
• Checks for short circuit or overload conditions and for reversed
polarity of the DC supply power.
• Checks of the on-board supply voltages and of I/O signals and data.
The presence of voltages, signals and data is indicated by diagnostic
LEDs on the PCBs. Exact voltage levels must be checked with a volt-
meter. The data content on serial I/O lines must be checked with the
aid of suitable analyzing tools, such as PC-based protocol interpret-
ers or terminal programs.
The NAVIGAT 2100 IPSU contains two PCBs, the interface PCB and the
processor PCB (mounted onto the interface PCB).
When components on the IPSU interface and/or processor PCB, other
than socketed ICs, are assumed to cause malfunction, the complete
IPSU is to be exchanged. If malfunction is definitely confined to the
processor PCB, the board may be exchanged separately.
When components inside the CDU, other than socketed ICs, are
assumed to cause malfunction, the complete CDU is to be exchanged.
DANGER When the NAVIGAT 2100 IPSU AC supply power is switched on, live
voltages are present at the AC input terminal block (TB 9) the line filter
(FL1), and at the power transformer’s terminal block (TB10).
When troubleshooting the system under power, do not touch any of
these parts or any of the electronic circuitry.

are touched.
When servicing the device without the back cover installed, do not touch
the CDU PCB while power is applied to the board.
CAUTION The fiber-optic sensor, type 4913, is not serviceable in the field.
Defective sensor units must be returned to Sperry Marine for exchange.
The sensor carries a tamper seal. Breaking this seal voids the warranty.
CAUTION The NAVIGAT 2100 system contains electrostatic sensitive components.

When troubleshooting the IPSU or CDU, take precautions to prevent elec-
trostatic discharge. Avoid touching any of the electronic circuitry.

Chapter 8: Corrective Maintenance
CAUTION The fiber-optic sensor, type 4913, is not serviceable.

Defective sensor units must be returned to Sperry Marine for exchange.
The sensor carries a tamper seal. Breaking this seal voids the warranty.
The NAVIGAT 2100 ISPU and CDU are generally not field-serviceable on
the component level. Defective devices must be sent back to Sperry
Marine for repair.
Corrective maintenance procedures which may be performed by field

service personnel are the exchange of the system software in the IPSU
and CDU and the replacement of socketed ICs in these devices.
DANGER When the ISPU AC supply power is switched on, live voltages are
present at the AC input terminal block (TB 9) the line filter (FL1), and at
the power transformer’s terminal block (TB10).
When carrying out maintenance work, make sure the IPSU AC power
supply is switched off and safeguarded against accidental switching-on.

are touched.
CAUTION The NAVIGAT 2100 contains electrostatic sensitive components.

When servicing the NAVIGAT 2100, take precautions to prevent electro-
static discharge. Avoid touching any of the electronic circuitry.
8.1 Exchanging the IPSU Software (System Software)

The ISPU software is contained in the flash-memory chip, IC 9, stock no.
26565, on the processor PCB. This is the „system software“ referred to
when Sperry Marine announces new software releases for the
NAVIGAT 2100.
Note
The stock number of the pre-programmed software IC, 26565, remains
identical through all software releases. The IC’s revision identifier indi-
cates which software release it has been programmed with. Unless
specified otherwise upon ordering, Sperry Marine will deliver the IC pre-
programmed with the latest official software release.
CAUTION It cannot be guaranteed that parameter settings in the User and Setup
menus and the entries made in the Magnetic Compass Calibration table
are left intact during an exchange of the system software.
Before exchanging the flash-memory chip, IC 9, record all parameter set-
tings to be able to re-enter them manually, if required.
Exchanging the IPSU Software (System Software) 8-1

056294/H NAVIGAT 2100
Exchanging the flash-memory IC
Note The flash-memory IC is a 32-pin PLCC chip. A suitable extractor tool is

required to remove the IC from its socket.
Verify that a new flash-memory IC, stock no. 26565, containing software
4902-1090-00 with the required revision identifier and release date has
been obtained.
1. At the running system, take notes of the current settings in the Man-
ual Settings, User and Service Setup menus. Check that the settings
have been entered correctly into the setup tables in the appendix of
this manual. If necessary, correct and amend the tables.
2. Power down the system.
Make sure that both the main and backup supplies are switched off
and safeguarded against accidental switching-on.
3. Remove the cover from the IPSU housing.
4. Remove the currently installed flash-memory IC (IC 9) from its socket
on the processor PCB.
5. Insert the new flash-memory IC into the socket.
6. Re-attach the cover to the IPSU housing.
7. Power up the system.
8. Re-enter all settings in the Manual Settings, User and Service Setup
menus, as noted in the setup tables in the appendix of this manual.
8.2 Exchanging the CDU Software

The CDU operating software controls the display and communication
functions for the CDU. In most cases it will not be necessary to exchange
the CDU software when Sperry Marine announces a new system soft-
ware release for the NAVIGAT 2100.
The NAVIGAT 2100 CDU keeps two separate copies of its operating soft-
ware, one in an onboard flash memory and the other on the exchangea-
ble software flashboard 20685.
The CDU always boots up from the onboard memory. Should, at power-
up, a different software version be found on the flashboard than is cur-
rently stored onboard, the software from the flashboard is automatically
copied to the onboard memory and the CDU is restarted.
This allows both to upgrade to newer and to downgrade to previous

releases by simply exchanging the flashboard.
8-2 Exchanging the CDU Software

NAVIGAT 2100 056294/H
Exchanging the flashboard
1. Disconnect the 50-pin plug connector from the back of the CDU.
2. In case of a console or frame-mounted device, unmount the CDU

from the console and remove the back cover.
In case of a device in housing with bracket, unscrew the back cover
and remove the CDU insert from the housing.
3. Place the CDU insert face-down on a flat, clean surface.
4. Carefully remove the plastic pin

which secures the flashboard to
the main PCB.
5. Pull the old flashboard out of its
socket, making sure to touch it
at the edges only.
6. Insert the new flashboard into

the socket.
7. Secure the flashboard with the
plastic pin.
8. In case of a console or frame-mounted device, re-attach the back

cover and mount the CDU in the console.
In case of a device in housing with bracket, insert the CDU in the
housing and screw on the back cover.
9. Reconnect and secure the 50-pin plug connector to the back of the
housing.
If the NAVIGAT 2100 system was left under power, the CDU starts up
automatically. Otherwise, power up the NAVIGAT 2100 system.
10. The CDU shows a blank display

at maximum brightness for sev-
eral minutes. This indicates that
the software is being down-
loaded from the flashboard to
the onboard memory.
CAUTION Do not disconnect the CDU or otherwise interrupt the startup process
after an exchange of the flashboard.
Exchanging the CDU Software 8-3

056294/H NAVIGAT 2100
11. When the software download is

complete, the CDU automati-
cally restarts.

8.3 Replacing Socketed ICs

While all socketed ICs may be easily exchanged, it will mostly be impos-
sible for field service personnel to trace back malfunction of the system
to the failure of a given IC, such as an UART or PAL.
In case of failure of an RS-422 serial data output, however, the reason is

mostly a defective driver IC. The RS-422 serial data outputs use standard
quadruple RS-422 line drivers (MC3487), available from Sperry Marine
under stock no. 46485.
