General Safety Information for the Operator
General Safety Information for Service Personnel
Safety information relating to system configuration, maintenance, serv-
icing and troubleshooting is presented in the respective chapters.
CAUTION
In the “Manual” mode of operation, the NAVIKNOT 600 SE transmits
valid output signals and data to the receiving equipment connected.
The function of the “Manual” mode is to maintain normal operation of
speed receivers such as gyrocompasses, RADAR, ARPA etc., in case of
failure of the log sensor.
When operating the NAVIKNOT 600 SE in the “Manual” mode, make
sure that ship’s crew are aware of the fact that speed and distance infor-
mation from the log is not valid.
Operating the NAVIKNOT 600 SE in “Manual” mode may severely affect
the proper function of all equipment which depends on accurate speed
and/or distance data.
CAUTION
The NAVIKNOT 600 SE is type approved as a speed and distance meas-
uring equipment only.
While the satellite PCB contained in the NAVIKNOT 600 SE electronics
unit produces position, heading and rate of turn data, these data are to
be regarded internal and may not be used for navigation purposes. The
data outputs on the satellite PCB may not be connected to external equip-
ment.
Under no circumstances may the NAVIKNOT 600 SE be used as a substi-
tute for mandatory equipment such as compasses or position receivers.

Design and Main Features 1-1
Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Design and Main Features
The NAVIKNOT 600 SE is a compact solid-state microprocessor control-
led system to determine a vessel’s longitudinal and transverse speeds
and distance travelled over ground as well as longitudinal speed and
distance travelled through the water.
The system complies with IMO resolutions A. 824(19) and A.694(17) and
with EN/IEC standards 61023, 61162 and 60945. The NAVIKNOT 600 SE
has been type-approved by Germanischer Lloyd, in accordance with the
Maritime Equipment Directive 2002/75/EC and assigned certificate
no. 44958-07 Lux.
In accordance with the mutual recognition agreement (MRA), USCG
approval no. 165.10/EC 0801/4477207has been granted.
A basic system consists of the NAVIKNOT 600 SE Electronics Unit, a
Control and Display Unit (CDU), a satellite antenna unit and an EM (elec-
tromagnetic) speed sensor with the Preamplifier E, type 2863. Up to
three additional remote CDUs may be connected to the electronics unit.

1-2 Design and Main Features
Data Outputs
Serial speed and distance data is provided in the NMEA 0183 format at
six RS-422 outputs. These are divided into two groups of three outputs
each, which may be configured independently to suit the receiving
equipment.
Analogue speed signals are provided at one voltage and one current
output. The mapping of actual speeds to corresponding output values is
configured for each output independently.
The distance travelled is also provided as a pulse signal at six contact
closure outputs. These are divided into three groups of three, two and
one output respectively, which may be configured independently to pro-
vide 10, 100, 200, 400 or 20000 pulses per nautical mile.

NAVIKNOT 600 SE 056349/C
Operating Principle 1-3
1.2 Operating Principle
To determine the longitudinal and transverse ground speeds, the sys-
tem makes use of a self-contained satellite sensing system, consisting of
the satellite PCB with two GPS receivers inside the electronics unit and
the antenna unit connected to it.
The satellite PCB combines the data from the GPS receivers with data
from built-in rate gyros to determine the vessel’s heading, velocity,
course, and attitude. While the heading is referenced to the vessel’s
fore-and-aft line, the velocity and course represent the vessel’s motion
vector, i.e. the magnitude and direction of its motion over ground.
The sensed data are sent to the processing PCB inside the electronics
unit, which resolves the velocity data into the vessel-referenced longitu-
dinal and transverse ground speeds.
The speed vectors combined with the sensed rate of turn data are used
to discern between translational and rotational movements of the ves-
sel. These are used to determine the bow and stern transverse speeds
shown on the “docking display” page.
To determine the longitudinal water speed, the system utilizes the elec-
tromagnetic principle.
The EM sensor generates a magnetic field around itself when an AC cur-
rent is applied to its excitation coil. The ship’s motion through the water
gives rise to an electrical field (E) perpendicular to the magnetic field (B)
and the ship’s motion (V). The resulting signal is picked up by the sensor
electrodes and passed on to the preamplifier. The preamplifier converts
the sensed (“raw”) speed to a digital format (NAVIKNOT protocol) and
transmits it to the electronics unit.
Figure 1-2:
sensed and calculated
speeds and directions
The electronics unit transmits all speed data to receiving external equip-
ment and to the connected CDUs. From the longitudinal ground and
water speeds, the electronics unit also calculates the distances travelled
and maintains the total and daily mile counters for both the ground and
water distances.
