Chapter 1. Installation and Registration 11

Installation of Equipment
INSTALLATION OF EQUIPMENT
Installation engineer has to work out an installation plan and submit it for the captain’s
approval.
The first thing you should do, is select a suitable place for the equipment installation,
taking into account Rules and Regulations of Classifications Societies. All the equipment
should be securely fastened.
Navi-Sailor System Cabling

Fig. 1 shows how to connect the Navi-Sailor 3000 ECDIS-I data and power cables.
The drawing provides a wiring diagram of MASTER-BACKUP network system
configuration. The diagram may vary with each individual system with its specific
set of components, but general connection principles should remain intact.

Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Console Installation
It is recommended that the NS console should be installed next to the main ship
radar so that the chart screen is visible from the steering wheel.
It is necessary to arrange power distribution in the console. It is recommended
that the console power switch should be used for switching to 220V AC output
from a UPS. Power inputs inside the console will be connected to the UPS output
via the power switch. The ship mains will be connected to the UPS input via
an external power switch.

Dongle Installation
After the computer has been mounted securely in its place, connect the dongle
to the computer’s printer port, as shown in the Fig. 3. See NAVI-SAILOR 3000
ECDIS-I/ECS-I (V. 4.00.10). TECHNICAL REFERENCE for dongle description.
The dongle should be connected to the printer port of a personal or industrial
computer before the software installation.
Fig. 3. Installation of the dongle
The NS will not operate unless the dongle is connected to the computer.
Network Installation
The figure below provides an example of 4 networked stations:
Fig. 4. Four networked NS stations
For the diagram on Fig. 4, admissible length of cables between the hub
and the computer should be:
• 100 m with grounding;

• 75 m without grounding.
If only two stations are networked, the hub may be spared.

Fig. 5. Connection of two NS station without hub
For the diagram on Fig. 5, admissible length of cables between two computers should be:
• 90–100 m if both computers are grounded with the same (common) earthing;
• 45–50 m without earthing.
Connection of stations should be carried out with a cross-over link cable, category TP5.
Fig. 6 shows a diagram for cross-over cable:
Fig. 6. Cross-over cable diagram
Sensor Connections
For the connection of the NS with navigational sensors, use double core screened
cable in the insulating shell, category TP5. The screen is connected to earthing on
the sensor side. Where the level of electromagnetic field is insignificant, “twisted pair”
type unscreened cable may be used. As the electric current in the cable does not
exceed 20 mA, the conductors’ cross section is of no importance. The maximum length
of the cable will depend on the type of interface and is shown for each specific sensor
in the appropriate connection schedule (see Annex A).
You should select a suitable connection schedule for each sensor. Annex A
contains schedules for connecting the NS to different navigational sensors.
Sensor connection schedules should be ticked off, if available. Otherwise, the installation
engineer should work out a new diagram, insert it into the document and send this
diagram to the Company so that the next edition of the NAVI-SAILOR 3000
ECDIS-I/ECS-I (V. 4.00.10). INSTALLATION GUIDE should include this modification.
The settings of sensor interface must be shown on the diagram.
The NS delivery set includes some of the required cables. These cables have
a connector on one end, which fits the computer port. When the company knows
the exact type of the jack the sensor, the second end of the cable terminates in
the appropriate connector. Otherwise, the second end of the cable
has a label explaining the purpose of each conductor.
Interface and power cables must be laid in cable routes, fixed and marked with labels.
See Annex B for more detailed information on the computer communication ports,
RS-232 standard, and some block diagrams.

Navtex Installation
General Recommendations
The Transas Navtex receiver should be placed and installed on the ship by using
the drawings developed by the ship design bureau, in accordance with the Transas
Navtex receiver outline and assembly drawings and general electrical circuit of
the Transas Navtex receiver (wiring diagram for the connection of units and power
supply to the Transas Navtex receiver).
When selecting a place for the Transas Navtex receiver, the following requirements
should be met:
• the receiving module of the Transas Navtex receiver should be installed

in a room where the following conditions should be observed:
– absence of vapours, alkali and other chemical agents, or of the bilge waters;
– proper lighting during the servicing, or arrangements should be made to enable
the connection of a portable lamp;
– proper access to the front and rear parts should be provided (product/system
name) to enable maintenance, routine maintenance and replacement.
• the distance to and location of the Transas Navtex receiver module should
ensure access to other ship systems for maintenance, routine maintenance,
and replacement;
• the Transas Navtex receiver module does not require any additional shock
absorption.
It is essential that the Transas Navtex receiver should not be used without appropriate
earthing to the ship hull. The use of this unit without appropriate earthing is prohibited.
Please ascertain in advance that there is no voltage on the earthing. It is not allowed
to ground the Transas Navtex receiver onto the engine unit, as this may cause
damage to the receiver unit. In case of failure to observe the earthing rules, all
the warranty obligations are cancelled.
The correctness of the antenna earthing has as much effect on the quality of the received
signal as its position.
A steel or aluminium ship hull, even if coated or painted, ensures the best possible
earthing.
The best place for earthing on the sailing ships is on the keel bolt.
The shipyard or the boat manufacturer can also give proper recommendations.
Power Supply
• Use the low voltage power cable only which is supplied with the device;
• Check that the connection is correct:
– red – plus;
– black – minus.
• You should add a 250 mA fuse type M to the power line.
If the fuse burns during the installation, check if the cable connection is correct
before replacing the fuse.
• Use 250 mA fuses only. Other fuses may lead to a damage of the unit.
The guarantee does not cover damages caused to the Navtex antenna due
to use of incorrect connection.

Transas can not be held liable for damage caused to the Navtex antenna or ship power
supply. Any liability resulting from such damage will not be covered by Transas either.
Antenna
The signal quality of every sort of receiver is depending very much on the antenna
position. Pay extra attention to the place where the antenna is supposed to be
installed. This place should be as far away from any electric waves effect as possible.
The antenna installation should be performed as high as possible on the ship mast to
ensure the broadest possible range. The antenna cable may be extended to up to
15 m without loss of signal quality.
The signal quality and the best antenna position may be tested easily by means
of a regular MF pocket radio. The procedure will be described in the attachment.
Installation Procedure
The Navtex receiver operates with 12V DC power supply. The procedure detailed
below, should be followed carefully:
• outdoor installation – antenna and cables;

• indoor installation – connection to power and computer.
Outdoor Installation
The best signal quality will be achieved if the antenna is installed on deck with
the distance of at least 5 m to any unit which may interfere, such as engine ignition,
generators, radars, and radio transmitters.
The antenna should be fixed either with plastic clamps, any other clamp of similar
size, or on the mounting flange at the bottom side of the antenna.
Additional mounting equipment may be ordered separately.
Pay special attention to the following recommendations:
• the antenna should be by all means installed vertically;

• the upper half of the antenna body shall not be screened by any metal parts,
as it will affect the signal quality.
Indoor Installation
Remember about the cable length to the computer and the power supply when choosing
the place of installation.
Prepare the power supply:

+12 Volt: connect to the red power input cable.
Minus: connect to the black power input cable.
Connect the black cable (0V/GND) to the ship power supply (minus/GND).
Check one more time that the power cable is connected correctly to the 12 V.
Connect the power cable to the ship power supply (plus).
Connect the 9-pin plug to the serial port of your computer.
Check the electrical installation one more time.
Switch ON the power supply to the Navtex.
Installation of the Navtex receiver has now been completed.

Testing of the Antenna Position by Using an MF Radio

You can check the best antenna position with a regular MF pocket radio prior
to the installation. First make sure that all the equipment which may cause
interference to the Navtex receiver is switched ON.
Adjust your MF radio to the lowest MF frequency of about 540 kHz which is usually
at the very left of the display. The radio antenna should be in contact with and be
held at a 90º angle to the bar which the Navtex antenna should be fixed to.
A loud buzzer tone or rattling is an evidence of strong interference. Use your MF radio
to look for a more suitable place without interference.
RIB Installation
ATTENTION!
Check that technical characteristics of the connected equipment match characteristics
of the RIB Input\Output signals specified in NAVI-SAILOR 3000 ECDIS-I/ECS-I
(V. 4.00.10). TECHNICAL REFERENCE in the paragraph Interface Capabilities of
the Radar Integrator Board.
Cabling
Cables are run and installed in accordance with the cabling schedules (see Annex C).
The LF-box is connected with the PCI board by means of a standard computer cable
with a common screen and DB25 connectors on both ends. Connection of cable
cores with the connector contacts is identical on both sides.
External communication lines to the LF-box are connected by means of screw terminals.
Any types of cables with a wire cross section of up to 1.5 mm2 can be used. In case of
considerable length of external cables, a screened cable is recommended.
HF-box is connected with the PCI board by means of a standard category 5 screened
cable used in Ethernet 10/100 Mbit networks. The cable contains 4 twisted pairs within
the common screen and has RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Connection of cable cores
with the connector contacts is identical on both sides.
Cables of this type are produced within 2–60 m range of lengths. A non-standard length
cable can be assembled by using special tools manufactured by companies like AMP,
Molex and others. Assembly is carried out in accordance with the manual delivered
with the tool. In doing this, it is necessary to arrange the twisted pairs in the connector
as recommended. Only the screened cable and appropriate connectors should be used.
The maximum cable length is 100 m, however it would be preferable to limit the cable
length to 30 m if a high quality radar signal is to be obtained.
External lines to the HF-box are connected by means of coaxial cables with BNC
connectors (plug). If the connection is made to the already existing matched coaxial
line (internal matching in the HF-box is turned off), a tap cable to the HF-box should
have a minimum length (preferably not more than 1 m). With the matching turned
on, however, the maximum length of the cable is determined by the characteristics
of the cable used and may be several hundred metres.

Directions on the Splicing of Category 5 Cable for RJ-45 Connection

Baring of category 5 cable with four twisted pairs is carried out with a special
HT-501 type tool.
The cable is bared for the length of 14 mm from the end of the cable. When baring
the cable, be careful not to cut off the cable screen lead-out (the screening foil is
removed together with the insulation).
Before laying the wires, set the appropriate fixtures on the cable, including RJ-45
connection screen.
The laying of wires in both RJ-45 connectors is identical to that in the standard
“patch” cable.

2. Orange/White Video -
3. White/Green Ground
4. Blue/White Trigger +
5. White/Blue Trigger -
6. Green/White LED
7. White/Brown -12 V
8. Brown/White +12 V
Before putting on the screen on RJ-45 connector, turn the cable screen lead-out
by 180 degrees so that it is under the squeezed part of RJ-45 connector screen.
Cut off the surplus of the cable screen lead-out.
Having completed operations on the laying of the cable lead-outs and the screening
lead-out and having put on the screen on RJ-45 connector, crimp RJ-45 connection.
For crimping, use a special Molex 69008-1100 type tool designed for the screened
cable with four twisted pairs.
Check cable making by means of RJ-45 link tester.
RIB Hardware Settings

Open the LF-box and set the jumpers as required in accordance with the table below.
It is recommended that jumpers should be set where there are gyro’s stepper outputs
and (or) log’s optoisolated outputs with logic “0” levels – from 1,5 V up to 3 V. After
the setting of jumpers and connection of external lines to the LF-box, close the LF-box.
Name of the signal Jumper

LOG+, LOG J5
CMPSR+, CMPSR J4
CMPS1+, CMPS1 J3
CMPS2+, CMPS2 J2
CMPS3+, CMPS3 J1
Open the HF-box. Use switches to turn on/off the matching of “Video” and “Trigger” lines.

ATTENTION!
After the installation and setting of radar parameters, level of “Video” and “Trigger”
signals should be set (see paragraph Radar Integrator Installation of this
document).
Connect external lines to the HF-box.

Install the PCI board in a Vacant Computer Slot, connect the Cables between
the Modules.

The R4 Display shall be connected to an emergency power source. If connected
to a battery, power calculations must be made for the battery capacity. For power
consumption, see paragraph 2.7 of the R4-AIS SHIPBORNE CLASS A TRANSPONDER
SYSTEM. INSTALLATION MANUAL document. The R4 Display is designed to operate
on 24 V DC. To avoid power and voltage drops in the feed line, it is important that
sufficient size of cable is used. Install according to paragraph 2.7.1 of the R4-AIS
SHIPBORNE CLASS A TRANSPONDER SYSTEM. INSTALLATION MANUAL document.
R4 Transponder Unit
Location
When mounting the R4 Transponder, please consider the following:
• mount the unit on a wall or on top of a bench;

• the temperature and humidity should be moderate and stable: +15 ºC to +35 ºC
(operating temperature: -15 ºC to +55 ºC);
• select a location away from excessive heat sources;
• avoid areas where there are a high flow of humid salt air;
• avoid high levels of vibrations and shocks;
• ensure that there is enough airflow to avoid high ambient temperatures;
• the unit can affect magnetic compasses. Use a minimum of 0.2 m to nearest
magnetic compass;
• install the R4 Transponder as close as possible to VHF/GPS antennae
to minimise cable lengths.
Clearance Area
Leave a clearance around the R4 Transponder to facilitate service and installation.
See recommended clearance area in paragraph 2.11 of the R4-AIS SHIPBORNE
Cabling
Use the cables included, one power supply and one for data cable for connection to
interfacing equipment such as Display, sensors, etc. For wiring details, see paragraph
2.7.2 of the R4-AIS SHIPBORNE CLASS A TRANSPONDER SYSTEM. INSTALLATION
MANUAL document.
Connect the VHF, GPS antennae, NS, and navigational sensors to the R4 Transponder.

Power Supply
The R4 Transponder shall be connected to an emergency power source. If connected
to a battery, power calculations must be made for the battery capacity. For power
consumption, see paragraph 3.11 of the R4-AIS SHIPBORNE CLASS A
TRANSPONDER SYSTEM. INSTALLATION MANUAL document. The R4 Transponder is
designed to operate on 24 V DC. The nominal power used is 16 W in receiving mode
and maximum power needed is approx. 55 W while transmitting. The R4 Transponder
shall be externally fused (slow blow fuse) with a 4 Amperes fuse. To avoid power
and voltage drops in the feed line, it is important that sufficient size of cable is used.

TRANSPONDER SYSTEM. INSTALLATION MANUAL document.
Transponder Status LED’s

The green LED indicates that power is applied to the R4 Transponder.
A flashing yellow LED indicates that the R4 Transponder is receiving data.
A flashing red LED indicates that the R4 Transponder is transmitting on the radio
link (transmission starts approximately 1 minute after power on).
AIS Alarm Unit

It is required that the alarm output (relay) is connected to an audible alarm device or
the ship’s alarm system, if available. Alternatively, the ship’s BIIT alarm system may
use the alarm messages output on the AIS Presentation Interface (PI). Provided
the alarm system is AIS compatible. The AIS Alarm Relay is mounted either on a DIN
mounting rail or direct on the wall. Wire connections according to paragraph 2.3 of
the R4-AIS SHIPBORNE CLASS A TRANSPONDER SYSTEM. INSTALLATION MANUAL
document.
VHF Antenna Installation

The R4 Transponder shall be connected to a VHF antenna.
The R4-A1S Shipborne Class A Transponder System, like any other shipborne
transceiver operating in the VHF maritime band, may cause interference to a ship’s
VHF radiotelephone. Because AIS is a digital system, this interference may occur as
a periodic (e.g. every 20 second) soft clicking sound on a ship’s radiotelephone.
This effect may become more noticeable when the VHF radiotelephone antenna
is located close to the AIS VHF antenna, and when the radiotelephone is operating
on channels near the AIS operating channels (e.g. channels 27, 28, and 86).
Attention should be paid to the location and installation of different antennae in order
to obtain the best possible efficiency. Special attention should be paid to
the installation of mandatory antennae like the AIS antennae.
So, installing the AIS VHF antenna is also a crucial part of the system installation.
How and where you install your AIS VHF antenna and cable can greatly affect
its efficiency.

Antenna Location
Location of the mandatory AIS VHF antenna should be carefully considered. Digital
communication is more sensitive than analogue/voice communication to interference
created by reflections in obstructions like masts and booms. It may be necessary
to relocate the VHF radiotelephone antenna to minimise the interference effects.
Installing the VHF antenna for AIS on a vessel is a compromise between the
following items:
• Antenna type;
• Antenna separation;
• Clear view of the horizon;
• Antenna height.
Antenna Type
The AIS VHF antenna should have omni directional vertical polarisation providing
of 3 to 5 dB gain.
Antenna Separation
The AIS transponders are using simplex channels at frequencies on the high side
of the marine mobile band (AIS channel A = 2087 (161.975 MHz) and AIS channel
B = 2088 (162.025 MHz)). These channels are close to the duplex channels used
for shore to ship marine communication. The AIS VHF antenna should be separated
as much as possible from the voice VHF installations used for main communication
to avoid unnecessary interference.
There should not be more than one antenna on the same level. The AIS VHF
antenna should be mounted directly above or below the ship’s primary VHF
radiotelephone antenna, with no horizontal separation and with a minimum
of 2 meters vertical separation. If it is located on the same level as other antennae,
the distance apart should be at least 10 meters.
The AIS VHF antenna should be installed safely away from interfering high-power
radiating sources like radar and other transmitting radio antennae, preferably at
least 3 meters away from and out of the transmitting beam.
Clear View of the Horizon

The AIS VHF antenna should be placed in an elevated position that is as free as
possible with a minimum of 2 meters in horizontal direction from constructions made
of conductive materials. The antenna should not be installed close to any large
vertical obstruction. The objective for the AIS VHF antenna is to see the horizon
freely through 360 degrees.
Antenna Height
The AIS is using VHF radio frequencies, which propagation characteristics are
close to line of sight. The higher antenna location is, the longer the range will be.
Cabling
The cable should be kept as short as possible to minimise attenuation of the signal.
Double shielded coaxial cable equal or better than RG214 is recommended to
minimise the effects from electromagnetic interference from high power lines, radar
or other radio transmitter cables (see Appendix A. 4 VHF – Cable Selector of
the R4-AIS SHIPBORNE CLASS A TRANSPONDER SYSTEM. INSTALLATION MANUAL
document).

Cable Mounting
Coaxial cables should be installed in separate signal cable channels/tubes and at
least 10 cm away from power supply cables. Crossing of cables should be done at
right angles (90°).
Coaxial cables should not be exposed to sharp bends, which may lead to a change
of the characteristic impedance of the cable. The minimum bending radius should be
5 times the cable’s diameter.
All outdoor installed connectors should be weatherproofed, e.g. with shrink tubing,
watertight seal tape or butyl rubber tape and plastic tape sealing, to protect against
water penetration into the antenna cable.
Secure the cable properly close to the cable ends.
Grounding
Coaxial down-leads must be grounded. The coaxial shielding screen should be
connected to ground at one end.
GPS Antenna Installation

The R4 Transponder shall be connected to a standard type active GPS antenna.
Attention should be paid to the location and installation of the different antennae
on the ship in order to obtain the best possible efficiency. Special attention should
be paid to the installation of mandatory antennae like the AIS antennae.
So, installation of the GPS antenna is a crucial part of the system installation. How and
where you install your GPS antenna and cable will greatly affect its sensing efficiency.
Antenna Location
The GPS antenna must be installed where it has a clear view of the sky. The objective
is to see the horizon freely through 360 degrees with a vertical observation of 5 to 90
degrees above the horizon. Small diameter obstructions, such as masts and booms,
do not seriously degrade signal reception, but such objects must not eclipse more than
a few degrees of any given bearing.
Locate the GPS antenna at least 3 meters away from and out of the transmitting
beam of high-power transmitters such as S-Band Radar (typically, ±15° horizontally
from the array’s centre point) and/or Inmarsat systems (A, B, C, or M; typically, ±10°
from the array’s centre point in any of the possible transmitting directions).
Locate the GPS antenna at least 3 meters away of a HF or VHF radios or their
antennae. This includes the ship’s own AIS VHF antenna if it is designed and
installed separately.
Cabling
To achieve optimum performance, the gain of the GPS antenna built-in pre-amplifier
shall match the cable attenuation. The resulting installation gain (pre-amplifier gain –
cable attenuation) shall be within 0 to 10 dB.
Double shielded coaxial cable is recommended. The coaxial cable should be routed
directly between the GPS antenna and the R4 Transponder GPS connector in order
to reduce electromagnetic interference effects. The cable should not be installed
close to high-power lines, such as radar, or radio-transmitter lines or the AIS VHF
antenna cable. A separation of one meter or more is recommended to avoid
interference due to RF-coupling. Crossing of antenna cables should be done
at 90 degrees to minimise magnetic field coupling.

Recommendations on cable types and lengths can be found in Appendix A.

5 – GPS Cable Selector of the R4-AIS SHIPBORNE CLASS A TRANSPONDER
SYSTEM. INSTALLATION MANUAL document supplied by SAAB.
Cable Mounting
Coaxial cables should be installed in separate signal cable channels/tubes and at
least 10 cm away from power supply cables. Crossing of cables should be done at
right angles (90º).
Coaxial cables should not be exposed to sharp bends, which may lead to a change
of the characteristic impedance of the cable. The minimum bending radius should be
5 times the cable’s diameter.
All outdoor installed connectors should be weatherproofed, e.g. with shrink tubing,
watertight seal tape or butyl rubber tape and plastic tape sealing, to protect against
water penetration into the antenna cable.
Secure the cable properly near the cable ends.
Grounding
Coaxial down-leads must be used for all receiving antennae, and the coaxial
shielding screen should be connected to ground at one end.

Installing MOXA CP-114 PCI Board

The BIOS automatically assigns the IRQ number and I/O addresses for the
MOXA CP-114 PCI board. Hence, it is a must to have the board plugged first before
installing the software driver. After this, simply install the control board into the PC
and then connect the connection cable:
1. Power off the PC.
ATTENTION!
Make sure your system is switched off before you start installing any board. If you
don’t, you may risk damaging your system and the board.
2. Remove the slot cover bracket if present.

3. Plug the MOXA CP-114 PCI control board firmly into a free 4-th or 3-rd 32-bit PCI slot.
4. Fasten the holding screw to fix the control board in place.
5. Connect the fan-out cable (DB37 to DB9 × 4).

6. Power on the PC, and the BIOS will automatically set the IRQ and I/O address.
Note: Each board must occupy one unique IRQ and four 8-byte I/O addresses,
which are assigned automatically by the BIOS. However, you can select
a free IRQ number manually via the PC’s BIOS setup for the PCI slot, but
normally this method is not available for the I/O address. The possible IRQ
numbers are 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, and 15. The possible I/O addresses
are from 0x0000 to 0xFFFF.
7. Proceed with the software installation detailed in Chapter 3.

WAGO Module Installation

General
WAGO I/O Modules
WAGO I/O Set of Modules used in NS system, includes the following parts:
1. MODBUS – the module is intended for communication of the set of WAGO I/O
Modules with the Working Station by means of RS-232 protocol. Baud rate
recommended for use in NS – 9600.
2. Relay Output Module – the connected load is switched via the digital output
(relay contacts) from the control system. The internal system voltage is used
to trigger the relay. A LED shows the switched status of the relay.
The module is a 2-channel, 4-conductor device and actuators with a ground
(earth) wire may be directly connected to the module.
3. Digital Input Module – the module receives control signals from digital field
devices (sensors, etc.). Each input module has a noise-rejection filter. This filter
is available with different time constants. An opto-coupler is used for electrical
isolation between the bus and the field side.
4. End Module – the module completes the internal data circuit and ensures
correct data flow. One is required for each buscoupler.
All modules forming the above set must be mounted on the DIN rail to provide
the common grounding contact.
Cabling of the WAGO I/O Modules

The sample cabling scheme of the WAGO I/O Modules is presented below.
The set of modules is mounted on the DIN rail. The arrows are pointing the contacts

SPOS Weather Module Installation

General
The work of SPOS Weather Module is based on the SPOS program, allowing
to request, receive and visualize the weather forecasts onboard the ship as
well as to perform necessary voyage calculation taking the weather conditions
in consideration. Two data sources are used by SPOS: five-day forecast and built-in
climatic database. In the case of the forecasts absence, the database is used
for voyage planning.
The climatic database covers the globe from 75° N to 60° S; the coverage
of the forecasts includes the entire Earth surface. The data from both sources
are represented in regular graticule sizing 2.5° × 2.5° for five standard regions:
North Atlantic, South Atlantic, Indian Ocean, North Pacific and South Pacific.
Delivery of the weather forecasts by means of available e-mail is performed twice
a day: at 09.00 UTC and 21.00 UTC. The following weather parameters are included:
surface atmospheric pressure; wind speed and direction (referred to 10 meters height);
wind waves period and direction; swell period and direction; surface current (optional).
The SPOS program is used as an autonomous application on the Workstations
with the NS systems installed. Integration of the SPOS application into the NS
systems is carried out by means of the routes exchange. The SPOS is capable
to read, to process and to visualize the routes created in NS as well as to export
its own routes into the NS folder Routes. In this case, the NS system can completely
process these routes as the usual ones.
Manufacturer’s description of the SPOS program SPOS MANUAL & REFERENCE GUIDE
is enclosed in the Transas MNS CD. To view the manual, insert the Transas MNS CD into
the disc tray. Select VIEW DOCUMENTATION item from the Main menu, then press “SPOS”

ANNEX B
Additional Information
on Sensor Connections
This annex contains more detailed information
on computer’s serial ports and RS-232 standard.

СOM Ports and RS-232C Standard
СOM PORTS AND RS-232C STANDARD

For the connection of sensor, use the computer's COM ports. Most of the computers
are known to have 2 standard ports (СOM1 and СOM2), but can also use various
extension devices: СОМ3 and СОМ4, DIGI-Board, MOXA boards, etc.
СОМ ports transmit and receive data asynchronously in a serial format.
The drawing shows the code of “1” (symbol 031Н) in a serial format. MSB is most
significant bit, LSB is least significant bit.
In the case in question, the format parameters are as follows:
Word length is 8 bits (may be 5–8 bits).

Parity check is off (Parity None), may be Odd, Even, None.
Stop bit – 1, may be 1 or 2.
The Baud rate is determined by the internal sync pulse frequency.

This rate is set via the software facilities by dividing the clock frequency
of UART chip (e.g., 16550 А). In this case, the following values are obtained:
110, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200.
There are several communication (interface) standards using the serial data format.
The most common of them are the following: RS-232C, RS-422A, and RS-423A,
RS-485. The drawing below shows the connection diagrams corresponding to these
standards.
Annex B. Additional Information on Sensor Connections 213

Personal computers of IBM PC use RS-232C standard for their COM ports.
This standard describes the control signals of the interface, data transmission,
electrical interface, and types of connectors. In RS-232C, the signal is transmitted
relative to the common wire – diagram earthing. The logical unit at the receiver input
corresponds to the voltage within -12...-3 V range. For the control signals, this status
is called OFF, for the data, this status is called MARK. Logic zero corresponds to
the voltage within +3...+12 V range. For the control signals, this status is called ON,
for the data, it is called SPACE.
Between -3...+3 B levels there is insensitivity zone providing the receiver’s

hysteresis. The signal levels at the transmitter output should be within -12...-5 V
and +5...+12 V ranges. The potential difference between the earth on the diagrams
should not exceed 2 V; otherwise, the data will be incorrect.
Connection and disconnection of interface cables should be carried out with
the power supply off.
RS-232C standard specifies the following set of signals:
• RxD – received signals (port input);

• TxD – transmitted data (port output);
• RTS – request for transmission (port output);
• CTS – confirmation of transmission (port input);
• DTR – data terminal ready (port output);
• DSR – data set ready (port input);
• CD – carrier detected (port input);
• RI – call ring indicator (port input);
• GND – signal earth (connected to the PC casing).
DB9P and DB25P are used as the PC COM port connectors.

The numbers of contacts are given in the table below:
Connection DB25 Name of the signal Connection DB9

2 TxD 3
3 RxD 2
4 RTS 7
5 CTS 8
6 DSR 6
7 GND 5
8 CD 1
20 DTR 4
22 RI 9
To enable the data exchange between the receiver and the transmitter, it is necessary
to set the identical parameters (length of a symbol, parity check, number of stop bits,
and the rate of reception/transmission) for the receiver and the transmitter.
For the control of data exchange between the receiver and transmitter (Flow Control),
the following protocols are used: hardware and software (XON/XOFF).
The hardware control uses RTS-CTS, DTR-DSR signals.
The software control of the exchange uses special codes controlling the data flow.
XOFF (13H) symbol informs the transmitter that the receiver cannot receive
the data. XON (11H) symbol informs the transmitter that the receiver is ready
for the data reception.
CОМ ports use the computer resources: input/output and interrupt line addresses.
The standard purpose of the resources is as follows:
I/O INTERRUPT
СОМ1 3F8 4
СОМ2 2F8 3
СОМ3 3E8 4 (unsuitable for the NS)
СОМ4 2E8 3 (unsuitable for the NS)

Matching of Sensors with the СОМ Ports
MATCHING OF SENSORS WITH THE СОМ PORTS

National Maritime Electronics Association, USA, has issued recommendations, which
have lately become the standard for the data exchange between the marine devices.
NMEA 0183 v. 2.1 standard has been included in IEC 61162-1 standard,
and is the principal standard for the use of sensors by the Navi-Sailor systems.
Data is transmitted serially in the form of ASCII code character lines. The parameters
of the serial code are as follows:
• Baud rate: 4800;

• Word length: 8;
• Parity: None;
• Stop bit: 1.
NMEA 0183 sentence (line) looks as follows:
$GPGLL,5927.14,N,10815.36,W,123823.50,A*62<CR><LF>
The instruments are classified in the transmitters (Talker) and receivers (Listener).
The Talker and Listener should be connected via an opto isolator.
GPS receivers, radars, echo sounders, gyro compasses, logs, transponders, autopilots,
digitisers, wind sensors, temperatures sensors, LEICA binoculars, and other devices
can be connected to the Navi-Sailor system if they have NMEA 0183 interface.
Apart from RS-232 standard, the serial data format is used by RS-422A, RS-423A
standards, CURRENT LOOP, and the instrument manufacturers use these standards
for the transmission of NMEA 0183 data.
The drawing below shows the connection corresponding to RS-422A interface.
Standard СОМ port receivers cannot receive RS-423A data, whilst RS-422A,
with the sensor and computer having the common earthing, will have a signal
short-circuited to the earth. As a result, many sensors cannot be connected
to the СОМ port directly, without converters.
Transas recommends to use opto isolator converters in its navigation systems,
which can receive RS-422A, RS 423A, RS-232 signals in the COM ports (one
optoisolator type), as well as current loop signals (another type of optoisolators).
The power supply voltage for both types of optoisolators is taken from RTS and DTR
signals. Signals set, via software facilities, the following status: RTS = OFF
(-12 В), DTR = ON (+12 В), which allows the RxD signal to be received within
the range of 6 V to +6 V corresponding to RS-232C requirements.
