FORWORD
A Word to the Owner of the
KP-32
Congratulations on your choice of the KP-32 GPS
Navigator.
For over 10 years ONWA has enjoyed an
enviable reputation for innovative and dependable
marine electronics equipment.
Your navigator is designed and constructed to
meet the rigorous demands of the marine
environment. However, no machine can perform
its intended function unless installed, operated
and maintained properly. Please carefully read
and follow the recommended procedures for
installation, operation, and maintenance.
We would appreciate hearing from you, the end-
user, about whether we are achieving our
purposes.
Thank you for considering and purchasing
ONWA equipment.
Features
The KP-32 is a totally integrated GPS receiver
and video plotter, and mainly consists of a display
unit and an antenna unit.
The high sensitivity GPS receiver tracks up to
13 satellites (12 GPS, 1 WAAS or EGNOS or
MSAS) simultaneously.
The main features of the KP-32 are
WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS capability.
Storage for 999 waypoints and 50 routes and
2,500 track points.
Alarms: Arrival/Anchor Watch, XTE (Cross-
track Error), Trip, Odometer, Time, and
Speed.
Man overboard feature records position at
time of man overboard and provides
continuous updates of range and bearing
when navigating to the MOB position.
Bright 95 x 63 mm LCD with adjustable
contrast and brilliance.
Autopilot (option) may be connected, and
steering data output to the autopilot.
Unique Highway display provides a graphic
presentation of ship's progress toward a
waypoint.
User displays definable by operator.
Waypoint and route data can be uploaded
from a PC and downloaded to a PC.

WHAT IS SBAS
An SBAS provider furnishes GPS signal corrections to SBAS users, for even better position accuracy,
typically better than three meters. WAAS, available in North America, MSAS (Multi-Functional
Satellite Augmentation System) for Japan and EGNOS (Euro Geostationary Navigation Overlay
Service) for Europe, those are the provider in the worldwide SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation
System) navigation system. All providers will be compatible with one another, thus providing
seamless position fixes to SBAS users

1.2 Turning On and Off Power
Turning on the power
Note:
Press the [DIM/PWR] key. The unit beeps and
then starts up with the last-used display mode.
The example screens shown in this
manual may not match the screens you see on
your display. The screen you see depends on
your system configuration and equipment
settings.
Your equipment takes about 90 seconds to find
its position when turned on for the very first time.
Thereafter it typically takes about 12 seconds.
The equipment shows receiver status indication
at the top left-hand corner in most display modes.
The table below shows these indications and
their meanings.
Receiver status indications

position accuracy and is the distribution pattern
of satellites used in position fixing. Generally,
the smaller the figure the better the position
accuracy.

2. PLOTTER DISPLAY OVERVIEW
2.1 Choosing the Display Range
You may choose the display range on the plotter
and highway displays. The horizontal range in the
plotter display is available among 0.02 (40 yd),
0.05 (101 yd), 0.1 (202 yd), 0.2 (405 yd), 0.5, 1, 2,
5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 and 320 nautical miles.
(Nautical mile is the default unit of display range.
Display range may also be shown in kilometers
or miles. Ranges shorter than the 0.5 nm are also
shown in yards or meters on the plotter display.)
The horizontal range in the highway display is
available among 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16
nautical miles.
1. Press the [MENU] key. The zoom, ship
centering window appears.
Note: SHIP TO CENTER does not appear

3. Use (increase) or (decrease) to choose
range desired.
4. Press the [ENT] key to close the zoom, ship
centering window.
Use the cursor pad to shift the cursor. The cursor
moves in the direction of the arrow or diagonal
pressed on the cursor pad.
Cursor state determines what data is shown on the
display.
Cursor position is displayed in latitude and
longitude at the bottom of the plotter display
when the cursor is on. The range and bearing
from own ship to the cursor appear at the left-
hand side of the display.

2.4 Centering Own Ship's Position
The display can be shifted on the plotter display.
Operate the cursor pad to place the cursor at an
edge of the screen. The display shifts in the
direction opposite to cursor pad operation.
When own ship tracks off the plotter display, the
own ship mark is automatically returned to the
screen center. You can also return it manually as
follows:
1. Press the [MENU] key.
2. Choose SHIP TO CENTER .
3. Press the [ENT] key.
2.5 Changing Track Plotting
Interval, Stopping Plotting
To trace the ship's track, the ship's position is
stored into the memory at an interval of distance
or according to display range. For distance, a
shorter interval provides better reconstruction of
the track, but the storage time of the track is
reduced. When the track memory becomes full,
the oldest track is erased to make room for the
latest.
1. Press the [MENU] key once or twice to

3. WAYPOINTS (MARKS)
3.1 Entering Waypoints
In navigation terminology a waypoint is a
particular location on a voyage, whether it be a
starting, intermediate or destination waypoint.
Your unit can store 999 waypoints. Waypoints
can be entered on the plotter display three ways:
at cursor position, at own ship's position, and
from the waypoint list.
1. Use the cursor pad to place the cursor on the
location desired for a waypoint.
2. Press the [ENT] key. The following window
appears.
Entering a waypoint with the cursor
Waypoint name entry window
3. The cursor is on the second line of the display.
This is where you may enter waypoint name,
which may consist of six alphanumeric
characters. The number shown is the youngest
empty waypoint number. If you would rather
have the unit register the waypoint under that
number, and you do not need to change mark
shape or enter a comment, press the [ENT]
key twice to register the waypoint and finish.
To enter XAIMAN as the waypoint name, for
example, do the following:
a) Press or to display X.
b) Press to move the cursor one place and
then press or to display A.
c) Press to move the cursor one place and
then press or to display I.
d Press to move the cursor one place and
