The FURUNO Model 1933C is an integrated navigation system. The
system integrates radar, differential global positioning system (DGPS), a
chart plotter, depth sounder, and a fluxgate compass. The system is
commercially available from FURUNO Electric Company as the NavNet®
system and is referred to by the USCG as the Scalable Integrated
Navigation System (SINS). The SINS package is the standard navigation
system onboard the USCG 25-ft RB-S, 41-ft UTB and the 47-ft MLB.
This job aid was prepared by Performance Systems Branch, Boat Forces
Center, and BM "A" School staff at TRACEN Yorktown, VA. Special
thanks go out to the Performance Technology Center for their pre-design
analysis work.

SINS DISPLAY UNIT CONTROLS
O
Ov ve er rv vi ie ew w
The radar, video plotter, depth sounder, and chart systems are
operated with the controls of the display unit (figure 1) and the remote
controller.
Ten keys are labeled, and they provide the function shown on their
labels. The five soft keys provide various functions according to the
current operating mode. The [ENTER] knob mainly functions to
register selections on the menu and adjust the electronic bearing line
(EBL), variable range marker (VRM), and gain.
The trackball’s main function is to move the cursor across the screen.
When you correctly execute an operation, the unit generates a beep.
Invalid operation causes the unit to emit three beeps.

To hide or show the soft keys, press the [HIDE/SHOW] key. Each press of the key shows preset soft keys, user function keys, or turns off navigation
information (at the top of the screen).
Trackball:
The trackball functions to shift the cursor (figure 3), and is used for measurement of range and bearing to a location (radar) and latitude and longitude
position (plotter). Roll the trackball to shift the cursor. The cursor moves in the direction of trackball rotation.

Each boat type has a different breaker panel configuration to energize the system’s electrical circuit. Once the circuit is energized, complete the following
steps:
Energize SINS unit on your vessel by energizing the DGPS Circuit Breakers on
the vessel. A beep will sound and the unit will proceed automatically in its startup
performance test check.
Note: DGPS GP-37 must be turned on first BEFORE the Furuno NavNet is
turned on.
Press DGPS/Heading Sensor [POWER] key.
Note: A beep will sound and the unit will proceed automatically in its startup
performance test check.
Press the [POWER/BRILL] key to turn the unit on.
Note: The first time you turn on the power (or any time the power is applied after
a memory reset) you are asked if you want to start in the simulation mode which
provides simulated operation of the equipment. Push the [ENTER] knob to start
the simulation mode, or press the [CLEAR] key to start normal operation.
Note: A beep sounds and the equipment proceeds in the sequence shown
below, displaying product information, startup test results, and the chart usage
disclaimer. The startup test will check the internal ROM, RAM, internal battery
and backup data functions for proper operation and display the results for each
as OK or NG (No Good). If NG appears, an appropriate message appears on the
screen. For any NG, try to press any key to go to the chart disclaimer screen,
and then perform the diagnostic test. The magnetron takes from 1-2 minutes and
30 seconds (depending or radar model) to warm up before the radar can be
operated. The time remaining to complete the warm up of the magnetron is
counted down and displayed at the center of the display screen. You may press
any key at the chart disclaimer screen to show the last-used display feature or
wait several seconds to let the equipment do it for you.
Press Fathometer RD-30 [POWER] key.
Note: A beep will sound and unit will proceed automatically in its startup
performance test check.
