2. GETTING STARTED
2.0 INSTALLING THE CHART PLOTTER
The CP1150C can be bracket mounted or flush mounted. If you decide to overhead
bracket mount the CP150C, STANDARD HORIZON offers a overhead mounting
bracket part number RR150003CP that will be needed for this installation.
For Flush mounting, please use the template and hardware supplied.
Figure 2.0 - Installing/removing chart plotter
Figure 2.0a - Optional overhead mounting bracket

Page 12 GPS Chart 150C
2.1 INSTALLING THE ANTENNA
Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky. Ensure there are
no major obstructions or fixtures in the immediate proximity to the antenna. The
antenna relies on direct “line of sight” satellite reception. If you are unsure that the
chosen location is suitable it may be advisable to mount the antenna in a temporary
manner to verify correct operation. The thread used on the antenna (1 inch, 14 TPI)
is an industry standard thread used on a wide range of mounting brackets, including
the swivel joints commonly used for angled surfaces. However due to the manufac-
turing process of these mounting brackets you may see that there is some slop when
tightening down the antenna to the bracket. This is of no concern however as the
antenna must be tightened until the antenna stops rotating on the antenna mounting
bracket.
The antenna design also allows for easy flush mounting.
1. Drilla¾inchholeinanareathatwasverifiedtoreceivesatellitesignalswell.
2. Unscrew the base of the antenna and remove the gasket.
3. Thread the cable though the hole and route to the plotter.
4. Apply a small coat of RTV to the underside of the antenna where the model
number sticker is located.
5. Insert the shaft of the antenna into the hole.
Figure 2.1 - GPS Antenna
2.2 CONNECTING POWER
Before making connections to the chart plotter, check for the correct voltage (10-18V
dc), the correct polarity and be sure the 2A fuse is wired in series on the Black wire.
Connecting the fuse in the black wire protects the NMEA data output wires from
becoming damaged if they are accidentally touched to the red wire (+battery
connection). If the other wires are not used or if the installer is aware of this the fuse
may be used on the red wire from the chart plotter.

2.3 OPTIONAL C-MAP NT+CARTOGRAPHY
STANDARD HORIZON has taken advantage of C-MAP’s experience with professio-
nalnavigation,byallowingtheuseoftherefinedandimprovedcartographycalledNT+.
The new cartography of NT+makes creative use of colors, patterns and icons to
increasethefamiliarityandusabilityof the much larger coverage database of NT+.NT+
is supplied by C-MAP in four sizes Local, Standard, Wide and SuperWide. For
convenience the older NT and the NT+are both compatible with all STANDARD
HORIZON chart plotters. Contact C-MAP USA at [phone] or visit www.c-
map.com for further information on NT+.
2.4 INSERTING THE C-CARD
Hold the card by the long inclined side so that you can see the C-MAP label.
Figure 2.4 - Inserting C-CARD (I)

2.11 ADJUSTING THE TIME
The time information supplied by the GPS satellites is in Universal Time Coordinates
(UTC or Greenwich England Mean Time). To change the chart plotter to read the
correct time, first you must figure out the offset and if it is daylight savings time. For
example on the West coast of the United States or Pacific Standard Time the offset
needed would be –08:00 or –07:00 for daylight savings time, Eastern Standard Time
–05:00 or –04:00 for daylight savings time.
To change press “MENU” + GENERAL SETUP + “ENTER” + TIME REFERENCE
+ “ENTER”, select +00:00, change the number for the desired offset.
Figure 2.11 - Adjusting Time
NOTE
This map is for time offsets in standard time. For daylight saving time subtract one
hour from the offset time shown.
