PREFACE
Manta is designed to be flexible and expandable making it ideal for use in Integrated Bridge
Systems (IBS), as well as for standalone Radar Systems and Electronic Chart Display
Information Systems (ECDIS).
When used in standalone systems the Manta Display is dedicated for use as either a Radar
Display or as an ECDIS Display.
When used in Integrated Bridge Systems the Manta Display can be configured as a
networked Multi-Functional Display, which can be switched between different functions, e.g.
Radar, ECDIS or Conning Display, depending on the function required by the operator. This
allows a single display to control a number of functions, although only one function can be
accessed at any time.
Manta is designed so that, when required, the displays can be controlled from an Ergopod.
The operation, installation and maintenance of Manta is covered in the following manuals:
KH2024 - System Manual for the Manta Networked Multi-Functional Display. This
covers the operation, installation and maintenance of the Manta display when used as
a networked multi-functional display. The content of this manual is limited to the
functions specific to the networked multi-functional display, and does not cover
features common to the Radar and ECDIS Systems.

INTRODUCTION
1 This manual contains information on all the operational features of the Manta ECDIS.
The operational features that are active on individual systems may vary according to the
customer's requirements. Therefore, the displays on individual systems may not appear identical
to those shown in this manual. Where a particular feature is not active that feature and associated
facilities will not be displayed as a menu option in the Main and Chart Menus.
2 This chapter provides information on the ECDIS hardware, Chapter 2 provides physical
installation information, Chapter 3 provides Commissioning procedures and Chapter 4
provides Routine Maintenance Procedures.
3 KH3100, the ECDIS software user manual, which is bound with this manual, provides
the full operating procedures for the ECDIS software, and is applicable to all systems,
regardless of the hardware installation.
What is an ECDIS?
4 ECDIS stands for Electronic Chart Display and Information System. The Kelvin Hughes
ECDIS exceeds the minimum performance standards specified by the IMO allowing safe
and accurate navigation of the vessel using officially supplied electronic chart data.
5 Electronic charts are similar to the traditional navigation paper charts used by mariners
for hundreds of years. These electronic charts are displayed on a computer, and provide
all the information contained on a paper chart, but with additional features, such as for example,
the display of position information obtained from an electronic position sensor. These features
are described in more detail later on.
6 Due to lack of global vector data, the Kelvin Hughes ECDIS supports Raster and Vector
data as officially released by International Hydrographic Organisations.
Vector Data
7 Vectorised data (in the form of a large database) is the only type of data that can be
officially used to replace paper charts. Vector data is interactive, providing facilities for a
fully flexible display, interrogation to ensure safe passage and intelligent passage planning.
Raster Data
8 Raster data is effectively a photograph of a paper chart displayed on the screen. Raster
data is not currently considered a sufficient replacement for the paper chart.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
11 The optional Radar Interlay facility allows the Radar picture to be displayed on one
window together with the chart data.
12 The system is connected to positioning systems such as GPS and peripheral equipment
such as gyros, logs and autopilots.
13 An electronic copy of the User Manual for ECDIS Software (KH3100) can be accessed
via the Main Menu, refer to KH3100, which is bound with this manual. Selecting User
Manual from the Main Menu opens the on-screen User Manual.
NOTE: The User Manual is displayed within Adobe Acrobat Reader. Instructions on how to use
Adobe Acrobat can be found within the Adobe Acrobat Reader Help.
14 The Manta ECDIS Displays use flat screen technology and are available in three sizes
(17", 20" and 23"), with the option of desk mounting, console mounting, or flush console
mounting.
15 The Desk Mounted Displays have the controls built in to the display unit, whereas the
Console Mounted Displays are designed to be used in conjunction with a Remote
Trackerball (complete with three pushbuttons) and QWERTY keyboard.
16 The Manta ECDIS Displays are designed to be connected to an ECDIS Processor unit.
The ECDIS Processor unit includes operator controls and indicators and contains the
CD-ROM drive, which is used to load chart data onto the system.
17 The Manta displays can be controlled from an Ergopod, if required. However, as the
Ergopod does not have a keyboard the functions available are limited.
NOTE: Early versions of the hardware are different to those shown in the following illustrations,
in that the SYS FAIL indicator is not fitted to early versions.
18 The Desk Top Display comprises a plastic moulding, which houses a flat screen LCD
display, trackerball and tactile feel compact keyboard. The Desk Top ECDIS Display

46 The Manta ECDIS displays are designed to be connected to the ECDIS Processor unit
(VDR-A20). As the ECDIS Processor unit only has serial interfaces, analogue interfaces
are connected to the ECDIS Processor unit via Data Interface Units (DIUs) (VDR-A4).
47 The Manta display is a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) flat screen display with associated
interface and control circuitry. The Manta display may contain an integral trackerball
and keyboard (desk top mounted) or a remote trackerball and keyboard (console and flush
console mounted). The interfaces to the ECDIS Processor Unit are:
49 The Desk Top Display comprises a plastic moulding, which houses a flat screen LCD
display, trackerball and tactile feel compact keyboard. The external electrical interface is
accessible from the back of the display via a detachable rear cover. The terminations for the
insulation cables are located at the bottom of the LCD flat panel assembly. The cables are EMC
clamped at the cable entrance of the display housing.
50 The Display Units utilise a daylight/dimmable colour high definition LCD Flat Screen
display mounted in landscape orientation. The display is designed for daylight and night
viewing by means of a dimmable backlight. The display types are:
51 The Console Mounted Display comprises a plastic bezel moulding, fitted around the flat
screen display. The bezel is hinged at the bottom to allow the display to be tilted forward
enabling front access for maintenance purposes. The display can also lift off its hinges, if
required.
52 The Flush Mounted Console Display has a flat metal bezel surround and is designed to fit
flush with the console. It is not hinged and has to be unscrewed from the console for
maintenance purposes.
53 The Console and Flush Console Mounted Displays utilise a daylight/dimmable colour
high definition LCD Flat Screen display mounted in the landscape position. The display
is designed for daylight and night viewing by means of a dimmable backlight. The display types
are:
54 The terminations for the insulation cables are located at the bottom of the LCD flat panel
assembly.
55 The ECDIS Processor Unit takes the incoming signals from the ship's sensors and
processes them for use within the ECDIS system. It can also receive a radar input from
the ship's navigation radar, which is processed to provide a radar interlay with the chart.
Facilities are provided to allow data to be transferred between ECDIS Processors using a data
link and for connection to an ethernet network for transferring data to other systems, e.g. Route
Planning Terminals. Provision is made to interface two relay isolated external alarms.
56 The ECDIS Processor is provided with 16 serial inputs/outputs. Two inputs/outputs are
configurable as NMEA, RS232 or RS422 interfaces. The remaining 14 inputs/outputs
are configured as NMEA or RS232 interfaces only.
57 Where a DIU is used to process incoming data, it is connected to the ECDIS Processor via
one of the serial inputs/outputs. The DIU is powered from the ECDIS Processor. The
DIU allows a variety of analogue input interfaces to be interfaced to the ECDIS Processor unit.
58 Where a Central Alarm Interface Unit is used to provide relay isolated external alarm, it
is connected to one of the serial inputs/outputs. The Central Alarm Interface Unit is
powered from the ECDIS Processor.
59 The radar input consists of radar real time video, sync pulses and azimuth and heading
line pulses. These are processed in the ECDIS Processor unit to provide radar video for
interlay on the charts.
60 The unit is fitted with a Floppy Disk Drive and CD-ROM Drive which can be used to load
data on the system and a hard disk drive which stores the ECDIS program.
61 The ECDIS Processor Unit operates from the ship’s 110 V/220 V mains. Built-in standby
batteries are provided to ensure power is maintained in the event of mains failure, in order
to shutdown ECDIS in an orderly manner. Power supplies to the DIU are derived from the
ECDIS Processor.

63 The Data Interface Unit (DIU) (VDR-A4) provides interfacing between the ECDIS
Processor Unit and analogue inputs. The DIU consists of a small unit which is software
configurable to accept the variety of analogue signals found on ships. It communicates with the
ECDIS Processor Unit through a serial NMEA 0183 link. It also receives configuration data
through the serial link.
64 The DIU is powered by +12 V DC nominal (9.8 V to 13.2 V) from the ECDIS Processor
Unit. The +12 V is isolated from the chassis and all inputs and outputs.
65 The DIU provides a pulse interface input e.g. for pulse logs and 16 differential analogue
channels individually configurable as:
(1) Voltage.
(2) Current.
(3) Contact Closures.
(4) A group of four inputs may be configured to interface to analogue gyro systems
(90:1 and above).
66 The DIU is configured in hardware via jumpers and DIP-switches and from the ECDIS
Processor using setup software.
67 Various voltage ranges are selectable and 4 to 20 mA and point closure. The analogue
levels are sampled and the values output via RS232 proprietary NMEA messages.
68 The differential inputs are individually tolerant to a common mode offset of ±100 V (with
respect to Ground).

ECDIS system has been restarted. The radar settings take effect when the overlay is
switched off then on (refer to paragraph 40).
SETTING-UP DEVICES
11 The Devices tab is used to install devices from a list of pre-defined devices, and for each
installed device:
(1) From ECDIS Settings box, select the Devices tab. The box shown in Figure 1 is
displayed.
(2) Select the device from the list of available devices as follows:
(a) Move the cursor over the required device and press the left-hand
pushbutton; the device is highlighted.
(b) Move the cursor over the Activate button and press the left-hand
pushbutton; the device name is transferred from the list of Available

the selected data bit appears in the Data Bits field.
(g) Position the cursor over the Stop Bits field and press the left-hand
pushbutton; a list of stop bit options appears to the right of the device list.
(h) Move the cursor to the required option and press the left-hand pushbutton;
the selected stop bit appears in the Stop Bits field.
(i) Position the cursor over the Parity field and press the left-hand pushbutton;
a list of parity options appears to the right of the device list.
(j) Move the cursor to the required option and press the left-hand pushbutton;
the selected parity appears in the Parity field.
13 Repeat paragraph12 for all devices forming the installation.
SETTING-UP TELEGRAMS
14 The Telegrams tab is used to activate/de-activate input and output messages for the
installed devices. Telegram settings are preset for most installations; only experienced
users should alter telegram settings.
15 The ‘Telegram’, ‘TimeOut’, ‘Check’ and ‘Active’ fields can be edited in this set-up tab.
All other fields are fixed. The ECDIS will only interpret messages that are active.
Messages that are not required should be set to inactive, to prevent unwanted alarms from being
generated.
16 To set the NMEA Input message for an input device proceed as follows:
17 From ECDIS Settings box, select the NMEA Input Telegram tab. The box shown in
Figure 2 is displayed (only the telegrams for Active Devices are shown).
Telegram
18 This field is used to set the message header that is recognised. If 3 characters are used,
they are matched with the standard IEC61162-1 sentence formatter. Any other number
of characters are matched with characters after the initial $ sign.
19 E.g. The Atlas DOLOG (dual axis log) sends $VBVBW,...and $PKVBW,... telegrams.
The second of these is a proprietary telegram and should not be decoded. If the
‘Telegram’ field is set to ‘VBW’, both telegrams are decoded and alarms are generated. If the
‘Telegram’ field is set to ‘VBVBW’, only the $VBVBW,... Telegram is decoded and no
unwanted alarms are generated.
TimeOut
20 This field sets the time (in milliseconds) after which if the telegram message has not been
received, a ‘Serial Message Timeout’ alarm is raised.
NOTE: If the value is set to Zero, the timeout will not occur.
Check
21 This field is used to select the level of checking applied to input messages. The levels of
checking to be applied are:
(1) STRICT w h e n s e t t o t h i s l e v e l , t h e me s s a g e ( s ) M U S T
comply with IEC61162-1.
(2) RELAXED w h e n s e t t o t h i s l e v e l , me s s a g e s w h i c h a r e n o t
strictly compliant with IEC61162-1, but which are still safe to use, are decoded.
22 Move the cursor over the ‘Check’ field for the required input message and press the
left-hand pushbutton; the field highlights. An option box to set the check level to
Strict/Relaxed the message appears below the list of device messages.
Active
23 Move the cursor over the ‘Active’ field for the required input message and press the
left-hand pushbutton; the field highlights. An option box to Activate/De-activate the
message appears below the list of device messages.
NOTE: Only one position message should be active for each position sensor.
26 This can be used to reduce the processor workload for high rate telegrams. Set to the time
in milliseconds for which telegrams of the same type should be ignored after the receipt
of one of those telegrams.
27 Only the ‘Talker ID’, ‘Output Rate’ and ‘Active’ fields can be edited in this set-up tab.
All other fields are fixed. The ECDIS will only output messages that are active.
28 To set the NMEA Output message for an output device proceed as follows:
29 With the Devices tab selected, click on the NMEA Output Telegrams tab with the
left-hand pushbutton. The box shown in Figure 3 is displayed (only the telegrams for
Active devices are shown).
Talker ID
30 This field sets the IEC61162-1 talker ID of the output telegrams sent. They should not be
adjusted, unless required.
Output Rate
(1) Move the cursor over the Output Rate field for the required output message and
press the left-hand pushbutton; the Output Rate field highlights.
32 Enter the required output rate (in milliseconds) for the message, using the keyboard.
Active
33 Move the cursor over the ‘Active’ field for the required output message and press the
left-hand pushbutton; the field highlights. An option box to Activate/De-activate the
message appears below the list of device messages.
36 This tab is used to set Ownship’s parameters, e.g. length overall, beam width, antenna
offsets, Radar offsets, type of position used, etc.
NOTE: Antenna Offsets MUST be entered accurately for the position to be calculated correctly.
(1) Select the Ship Setup tab; the box shown in Figure 4 is displayed.
(2) Enter the vessel name in the Vessel Name field using the keyboard. This name
does not appear when the ECDIS is running, but may be used on print-outs.
(3) Move the cursor to the Sensors area and select the required Heading, Log, Depth
and Time sensors from the drop down list associated with each.
(4) Move the cursor to the Own Ship’s Parameters area and enter Length Overall and
Beam Width using the keyboard. These set the size and shape of the ship’s outline
used on charts.
(5) Enter Bow to Con and Centre to Con using the keyboard. These specify where on
the vessel the conning position is located - the conning position is the position to
which all positions are referenced.
NOTE: Centre to Con measurements to Port and Starboard are positive and negative
respectively.
(6) Move the cursor to the Antenna Offsets area. Select the sensor to be offset from
the drop down list associated with Sensor Name.
(7) Enter the Bow and Centre to Antenna (Ant) position. These specify the position
of the Antenna, so that a position received from satellite by the antenna may be
offset by the ECDIS, to the conning position. This provides an accurate ship
position as shown on the display.
(8) Repeat steps (6) and (7) for each sensor.
38 When the Radar Interlay tab is selected the box shown in Figure 5 is displayed.
39 To enable or disable the Radar Interlay function, click on the Enable Radar Interlay box.
If a RIP card is not fitted, the Radar Interlay function should be disabled.
40 Before commencing adjustment, ensure that the ECDIS is running with radar interlay
displayed. When adjustments have been made, radar interlay should be turned off, then
on again, for the new settings to take effect.
41 The Radar Position Slider is used to align the radar picture with Ownship’s conning
position, as shown in Figure 7.
CD-2731
UNCORRECTED CORRECTED
42 The Trails Position slider is used to align the radar trails (dark green)with the radar image
(light green), as shown in Figure 6.
UNCORRECTED CORRECTED
CD-2732
43 The rest of the information on the Radar Interlay tab refers to a specific radar transceiver.
If a Kelvin Hughes Radar Interswitch Unit (RIU) is connected select each transceiver in
turn and adjust the settings appropriately. If a single transceiver is connected (i.e. no RIU) select
Single Tx and adjust the settings as appropriate.
Sync Delay
44 The sync Delay slider is used to adjust the representation of straight lines on the radar
display, i.e., if a known straight line, e.g. a nearby quay, appears distorted on the radar
display, the sync delay may be adjusted to remove the distortion.
Preset Gain
45 The Preset Gain slider is used to adjust the gain applied to the radar picture.
NOTE: Fine tuning of the gain is carried using the gain control in the ECDIS program.
46 The preset gain should be set so that maximum noise is applied, without flooding the
picture, when the main gain in the ECDIS program is set to 60.
Sea Rate
47 The Sea Rate slider is used to adjust the behaviour of sea clutter control.
48 The Peak Sync slider is used to set the threshold at which the RIP PCB recognises that a
sync pulse is present. Adjust the slider control until the NO SYNC message disappears.
49 The Peak Video slider is used to set the threshold at which the RIP PCB recognises that a
video signal is present. Adjust the slider control until the NO VIDEO message
disappears.
50 The Heading Line Skew slider is used to compensate for mis-alignment of the radar
turning mechanism.
(1) Select a stationary target which can be seen by the eye and which paints an echo
on the screen.
(2) Take a compass bearing of the target, and compare this with the bearing of the
echo paint on the display. Note the degree and direction of any discrepancy.
52 Adjust the slider to compensate for the any discrepancy noted in paragraph 51.
NOTE: Each of the settings detailed in paragraphs 45 to 50 can be changed by either using the
slider or by typing in a value.
53 When the Log Gyro Monitor tab is selected the box shown in Figure 8 is displayed.
54 Select the log scale factor to reflect the type of log fitted in the installation, as follows:
(1) Move the cursor over the arrow of the Log Scale Factor drop down list and click
to reveal the list.
(2) Select either 100, 200 or 400 pulses per mile from the list, as required.
55 Select the gyro scale factor to reflect the type of gyro fitted in the installation, as follows:
(1) Move the cursor over the arrow of the Gyro Scale Factor drop down list and click
to reveal the list.
(2) Select either 360:1, 180:1, 90:1, 45:1 or 36:1 pulses per mile from the list, as
required.
Watchdog Time
56 This is the time interval which the system fail watchdog waits for before activating the
system fail lamp. Under normal operation, the system watchdog timer is reset at regular
intervals so the system fail lamp does not light. A setting of 8 seconds is recommended.
57 The backlight and contrast settings should be set up as shown in the table below.
Monitor Size
58 The screen width and screen height define the visible display area. This in turn is used in
calculations of chart scale. Examples are given for the standard Kelvin Hughes ECDIS
monitors, any other monitors must have their values measured and entered.
SERIAL DIAGNOSTICS
59 When the Serial Diagnostics tab is selected the box shown in Figure 9 is displayed. The
Serial Diagnostics tab is used to test the serial link between ports.
(1) Move the cursor over the Output Port drop down list and select the required
output port.
(2) Enter the baud rate in the settings box.
(3) Move the cursor over the Input Port drop down list and select the required input
port.
(4) Enter the baud rate in the settings box.
(5) Click on the Update button, for both Output and Input ports, with the left-hand
pushbutton.
(6) Enter a test message using the keyboard.
(7) Click on the Send button with the left-hand pushbutton.
(8) To clear the message click on the Clear button with the left-hand pushbutton.
NOTE: Serial ports already used by the ECDIS cannot be tested while the ECDIS is running.
61 The Serial Diagnostics facility can be used with a loop-back, to test an output from one
port to an input on another port.
62 To test an Output:
(1) Move the cursor over the Output Port drop down list and select the required
output port.
(2) Enter the baud rate in the settings box.
(3) Click on the Update button, for Output ports, with the left-hand pushbutton.
(4) Enter a test message using the keyboard.
(5) Click on Send.
63 To test an Input:
(1) Move the cursor over the Input Port drop down list and select the required input
port.
(2) Enter the baud rate in the settings box.
(3) Click on the Update button, for Input ports, with the left-hand pushbutton.
(4) Enter a test message using the keyboard.
(5) If the link is O.K. the test message appears, as shown in Figure 10.
TRACK CONTROL
64 When the Track Control tab is selected the box shown in Figure 11 is displayed. The
Track Control tab is used to set up parameters used in Route Planning and Autopilot
Track Control.
66 These parameters are used when checking if a route is valid for Track Control.
67 The maximum safe rate of turn that the vessel can maintain while under track control.
68 The maximum safe speed that the vessel is capable of maintaining during track control.
70 Some autopilots require a minimum time on a leg to allow for a Course change (WOP
arrival) alarm. Most autopilots use a value of 0 seconds. The CPlath Nautopilot ADII
autopilot requires 40 seconds.
71 This is the time before the wheel over point (WOP) at which the WOP arrival flag is set in
the telegrams to the autopilot. This is normally set to 40 seconds.
72 If the difference between the current COG and the route leg bearing is greater than the
limit settrack control can not be started. This value is normally set to 30 degrees.
73 IEC62065 Track control, DNV and Lloyds certified vessels have a critical difference in
the required behaviour of the vessel at a waypoint.
74 If the operator does not acknowledge the turn, IEC62065 Track control and DNV require
that the turn still happens while Lloyds require that the vessel maintains its current
heading.
75 If checked and there is an unacknowledged Course Change alarm, the turn will not
happen and track control will be stopped (The Course Change alarm must be enabled).
This is currently required for Lloyds NAV1 certification. All other systems should have this item
unchecked.
Forwarding Distance
76 When following a route and the wheel over point at a turn is reached, the vessel is told to
turn. There is a delay before the required rate of turn is reached which means that the
vessel will overshoot. To compensate for this, the wheel over point is moved backwards along
the route by an amount sufficient for the turn to be steered accurately. The distance that the wheel
over point is moved is the forwarding distance.
77 The forwarding distance is dependent on the characteristics of the vessel, the vessel
speed and the rate of turn required for the turn though using a constant value of
forwarding distance can often be a good approximation.
78 By default, the ECDIS has a forwarding distance of zero metres set for all turns. If when
the ECDIS is controlling the autopilot the vessel overshoots the turn by an excessive
amount, the forwarding distance should be set. This should only be done by experienced
installation engineers.
NOTE: Incorrect setting of this value can cause erratic vessel behaviour when in track
control!
79 The EMRI autopilot requires the forwarding distance to be used during a turn to calculate
a course to steer and tangential bearing for a point along the turn arc ahead of ownship by
the forwarding distance. Other autopilots which use CTS during the turn may also benefit from
this though not the CPlath or Tokimec.
ERROR LOG
REMOTE UPDATE
82 The hard drive restoration procedure will have to be implemented in the unlikely event of
a hard drive, or ECDIS program failure. Restoring all partitions, or data partitions, will
erase any user created notes, routes and maps. It is therefore recommended that these notes,
routes and maps are backed-up to floppy disk on a regular basis. This can be done from the
ECDIS (See KH3100 paragraph 173) or by using the RegBackup utility.
RegBackup Utility
83 The RegBackup utility can be used to create a back-up of the ECDIS Settings, Routes,
Maps and Chart Permits, for use when upgrading software or to restore the Hard drive
following failure.
(1) Exit from ECDIS and run RegBackup, either from the desktop or from the
restoration CD. The RegBackup dialogue box will be displayed, as shown in
Figure 12.
(2) Insert a floppy disk into the floppy disk drive and click on the Backup Data To
Floppy Disk button.
(3) If one floppy disk has insufficient space for all the data, prompts will be displayed
requesting another floppy disk on which to continue.
(4) When the back-up is complete, remove the floppy disks and label them with the
vessel name, date and disk number and store them in a safe place on board.
(5) Make a copy of the back-up floppy disks and return them to Kelvin Hughes.
NOTE: Before upgrading the ECDIS software, use RegBackup and implement the back-up
procedure described above to ensure that the most recent data, routes, etc. are
stored.
85 The following procedures should only be carried out in the event that the system will no
longer boot-up, or the ECDIS program will not run.
(1) Insert the Restore Boot floppy disk in the floppy drive.
(2) Restart the ECDIS.
(3) When the message PLEASE INSERT ECDIS RESTORATION CD appears,
insert the restoration CD into the CD drive and then press any key. The following
is displayed:
(4) Before proceeding with the restoration procedure note that there is a Warning
message associated with each option. These warnings are detailed in the
following sub-paragraphs. Choose the required option and observe the
associated warning. The restore operation may be exited by pressing ‘C’.
(a) When ‘W’ is pressed the following is displayed:
NOTE: This option will lose all Ownship and interface settings. These settings can be restored
from the back-up floppy disks. Back-ups are created using the RegBackup utility, as
described in paragraph 84.
(b) Selecting ‘N’ returns the user to the option screen, selecting ‘Y’ initiates
the restoration process.
(c) When ‘E’ is pressed the following is displayed:
(d) Selecting ‘N’ returns the user to the option screen, selecting ‘Y’ initiates
the restoration process.
(e) When ‘D’ is pressed the following is displayed:
(f) Selecting ‘N’ returns the user to the option screen, selecting ‘Y’ initiates
the restoration process.
(g) When ‘A’ is pressed the following is displayed:
NOTE: This option will lose all Ownship and interface settings. These settings can be restored
from the back-up floppy disks. Back-ups are created using the RegBackup utility, as
described in paragraph 84.
(h) Selecting ‘N’ returns the user to the option screen, selecting ‘Y’ initiates
the restoration process.
(5) After the time interval specified in the warning message for the chosen option,
the screen will display the following message:

CHAPTER 4
MAINTENANCE
INTRODUCTION
1 This Chapter provides Maintenance information for the Manta ECDIS displays. The
Chapter is divided into three parts
WARNING
2 The following paragraphs outline the basic maintenance and fault finding procedures
which can be implemented by the operator. The fault finding/repair philosophy is limited
to checking cable connections and changing fuses.
MAINTENANCE
Preventive Maintenance
3 Preventive Maintenance comprises keeping the equipment clean, particularly the screen,
console cabinets and filters. External surfaces should be cleaned with a soft,
non-abrasive cloth, moistened in a mild soap solution.
4 Screens are to be checked and cleaned regularly, using an approved screen cleaner.
Diagnostic Maintenance
6 The following procedures provide diagnostic maintenance information for the Manta
ECDIS Flat Screen Displays.
System Faults
7 System fault conditions appear in the bottom right-hand corner of the display. System
Fault conditions include:
Gyro Fail
Log Fail
Depth Fail
Position Fail
(1) Check that the position information from the GPS, or position sensing
equipment, is accurate.
(2) If the position sensing equipment is provided with a switch to enable/disable
serially transmitted data, check that message type GGA or GLL, is enabled.
(3) Check that the position sensor is set to NMEA 0183.
(4) Check that the diagnostic LED on the Input Interface PCB is flashing. If the LED
is extinguished there is no data input to the PCB.
(5) If the fault cannot be rectified, refer to Kelvin Hughes.
Corrective Maintenance
WARNING
CAUTION
Fuse Replacement
13 The locations of the fuses in the ECDIS Processor unit are shown in Figure 1. The
following fuses are supplied:
18 Restore the power supply to the ECDIS Display and check that the display is operating
correctly.
