CP33 Introduction and safety summary
Chapter 1-1
1.1 Introduction and system familiarization
Congratulations on your purchase of
SIMRAD CP33 Chartplotter
- a com-
bination of the latest GPS and SDGPS receiver technology and optional built-
in differential receiver for accurate positioning, plus: detailed cartography
- all in a unique slim-line design with a bright 6” TFT color or monochrome
display.
The
CP33 chart system
includes a built-in world chart for rough planning and
overview. The choice of chart system best suitable for the CP33 was carefully
singled out to be the C-MAP NT+ mini cards. The optional C-MAP charts are
available world-wide at your local Simrad dealer.
The
Global Positioning System
is at this time and age the most common
system used for navigation and positioning all over the world. Not only for
maritime use, but also for land-based applications and aviation. The satellite-
based system has been developed and is operated by the US Department of
Defense in order to provide an accurate and reliable service, which include a
24-hour global coverage.
The GPS system consists of approx. 24 satellites which orbit around the Earth
at an altitude of approx. 20,200 km.
The satellites transmit perfectly synchronized data. However, depending on
the position, the signals will reach the receiver at a slightly different time. By
adding the measured time difference to the known position of the satellites it is
possible to calculate the ship’s position to within a few meters.
DS33 Dual Station
for the CP33 is available with a 6” bright TFT color or
monochrome display. The main unit and the dual station are identical in
design and operation.
How to use this manual?
It is a good idea if you make yourself familiar with the key functions, menu
structure and rotation of pages (screens) described in chapter 2 before you
start out, and then proceed with section 2.7 Initial start-up. For quick location
of a certain term, please check the “Glossary of terms” and the “Index” at the
back of the manual. Also, “How to get started” further on in this chapter will
give you a quick introduction to some of the features you have access to in
your new chatplotter.
