Important Notice

Keep this manual in a safe place where you can access it quickly.
Manual
This Manual must be passed to a new owner of the HIS-70A when it is
Handling transferred.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) consists of a total 24 GPS satellites that orbit the earth,
enabling you to determine your position anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, if you can receive
satellite signals. During actual navigation, carefully compare the position data with all available
navigation sources such as Loran C, Decca, other navigators, charts, visual navigation, depth, water
temperature and others. It is your responsibility to make navigation judgments.

DGPS Operation Note :

Your position can be improved by DGPS correction. However, when you are communicating with other
ships, you may use a DGPS corrected position but they may not. Make your position source known
during communication.

The Electronic Chart :

Only official authorized charts and notices to mariners contain all the information needed for the safety
of navigation and, as always remember, the user is responsible for their prudent use.

 HIS-70A System
Welcome
The HIS-70A System opens a new chapter of performance and integration in vessel navigation system
display and management. Whether you are a Cruiser or Sport fisherman or both, HIS-70A gives you
the information you need.

CAUTION
The HIS-70A is Color LCD Charting Systems employs the latest in proven technology to provide
accurate navigation information. The Plotter functions of the HIS-70A are totally dependent upon the
capability of the navigation source to provide accurate position information. This device is only an aid
to navigation. It should be used in conjunction with all other navigation accuracy. For safety, always
resolve any uncertainty before continuing navigation.

CAUTION
Electronic charts in AUQA are derived from geographical data – including official government charts –
which we believe to be accurate. They are neither verified nor approved by Hydrographic Authorities.
Electronic charts in HIS-70A are designed only to ease and speed navigation calculations and so must
not be relied upon as a primary source of navigation information, but rather a backup to the use of
official government charts and prudent navigation habits.
There is no direct relationship between the color of water areas and their depth. The navigator shall
always query the area for depth information and use the official paper chart.

CAUTION
The performance of LCD displays are degraded by continuous direct exposure to ultraviolet rays.
Locate your HIS-70A Display away from direct sunlight. When not in use. Keep the display covered.

DISPLAY BREAKAGE WARNING

The LCD display module contains a liquid. If the display is broken and the liquid contacts your skin,
wash it off immediately in running water for 15 minutes. If the liquid contacts your eyes, immediately
flush your eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Contact a physician if any abnormal symptom is
experienced.

GETTING STARTED

This getting Started section will help you become acquainted with the displays and the front panel
keyboard functions of your HIS-70A System. This section is intended to demonstrate the main
functions and basic operation of your HIS-70A System. More detailed procedures may be found in the
Operation section.

HIS-70A has built-in simulators which present realistic displays of cartography, GPS and Sounder.

Note: Sounder option is required is required to use the sounder simulator. Simulators are interactive so
the front panel keyboard can be used to browse through menus and change setting in the same
manner as actual operation. The internal simulators allow HIS-70A to operate without having
transducers or remote sensors connected. However, it is necessary to connect the power cable to 12
to 24 Vdc power source. Please refer to Power Connection in the installation section.

If HIS-70A is already installed on your vessel, simulators are still useful doe familiarity with displays
and practice with operating procedures.

 Introduction
How AIS Works
The marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a location and vessel information reporting system.
It allows vessels equipped with AIS to automatically and dynamically share and regularly update their
position, speed, course and other information such as vessel identity with similarly equipped craft.
Position is derived from a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) network and communication
between vessels is by Very High Frequency (VHF) digital transmissions. A sophisticated and automatic
method of time sharing the radio channel is used to ensure that even where a large number of vessels
are in one location, blocking of individual transmissions is minimised, any degradation of the expected
position reporting interval is indicated to the user and even if the unit suffers extreme channel overload
conditions it will always recover to normal operation.

AIS Classes
There are two classes of AIS unit fitted to vessels, Class A and Class B. In addition AIS base stations
may be employed by the Coastguard, port authorities and other authorised bodies. AIS units acting as
aids to navigation (A to Ns) can also be fitted to fixed and floating navigation markers such as channel
markers and buoys.
Class A units are a mandatory fit under the safety of life at sea (SOLAS) convention to vessels above
300 gross tons or which carry more than 11 passengers in International waters. Many other
commercial vessels and some leisure craft also fit Class A units.
Class B units are currently not a mandatory fit but authorities in several parts of the world are
considering this. Class B units are designed for fitting in vessels which do not fall into the mandatory
Class A fit category.

The SVS-300 is a Class B unit

Information Transmitted and Received
A Class A unit will transmit its IMO number (if known), MMSI, Call sign and Name, length and beam,
ship type, time, course over ground (COG), speed over ground (SOG), heading, navigational status,
rate of turn, draught, cargo type, destination and safety related messages via a short message service
(SMS) facility. Message lengths are variable with static and voyage related information being
transmitted less often.

 Installation

GPS Antenna
The GPS antenna used must be of the active type (i.e. it should incorporate an LNA) and must be
suitable for marine shipboard applications (index of protection, ruggedness, means of mounting, etc.).
An antenna should be selected with a gain (in dB) depending on the length of cable between the
antenna and the AIS unit; after subtraction of cable and connector losses, a minimum total gain of 25
dB should be available at the SAS SERIES unit GPS antenna connector.
The GPS antenna to be used for AIS use must be a dedicated antenna, i.e. not shared with any other

GPS receiver.
Installation of the GPS antenna is critical for the performance of the built in GPS receiver which is
used for timing of the transmitted time slots and for the supply of navigational information should the
main navigational GPS fail. We strongly recommend that:
The GPS antenna is mounted in an elevated position and free of shadow effect from the ship’s
superstructure
The GPS antenna has a free view through 360 degrees with a vertical angle of 5 to 90 degrees above
the horizon.
As the received GPS signal is very sensitive to noise and interference generated by other onboard
transmitters, ensure that the GNSS antenna is placed as far away as possible from radar, Inmarsat
and Iridium transmitters and ensure the GPS antenna is free from direct view of the radar and the
Inmarsat beam.
It is also important that the MF/HF and other VHF transmitter antennas are kept as far away as
possible from the GNSS antenna. It is good practice never to install a GNSS antenna within a radius of
5 meters from these antennas.

VHF antenna
The VHF antenna employed for AIS use:
Must be a dedicated antenna, i.e. not shared with any other VHF transmitter/receiver.
Must be suitable for marine shipboard applications (index of protection, ruggedness, means of
mounting, etc.)
Should be omni-directional and vertically polarised with unity gain (0 dB) with a bandwidth sufficient to
maintain VSWR <1.5 over the frequency range 156 – 163 MHz. As a minimum the 3dB bandwidth
must cover the two AIS channels and the DSC Channel.
Should be mounted with at least a two metre vertical separation distance from any other VHF antenna
used for speech or DSC communication.
VHF Antenna Connection
Connecting a badly mismatched VHF antenna, leaving the VHF antenna port disconnected, or

shorting the VHF antenna port will activate the VSWR alarm, cause the unit to stop sending position
reports or cause damage to the transponder.
Radio Frequency Exposure
To meet the requirements for Radio Frequency Exposure it is necessary to install the VHF antenna
correctly and operate the AIS equipment according to the instructions.
The VHF antenna must be mounted at a minimum distance (vertical separation) of 3 metres from the
head of any person standing on deck in order to meet international safety directives on Maximum

- 45 -
 Installation
Permissible Exposure (MPE) / Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
Where no suitable structure exists to achieve a 3 metre vertical separation then the antenna base
must be mounted at least 1 metre above the head of any person within range, all persons should stay
outside the 3-metre safety radius and if practical a grounded RF shield should be interposed between
people and the antenna.
Failure to adhere to these limits could expose persons within the 3 metre radius to RF radiation in
excess of the MPE / SAR limits.

HIS-70A brings expandable display technology to your bridge or navigation station. A careful
installation will assure maximum benefit from HIS-70A integrated features.

Display Unit Location

Select a location for your HIS-70A display unit that provides easy viewing from all likely operator’s
positions. The display unit is designed to be mounted on either a console or from an overhead surface.
The HIS-70A display is also designed for flush mounting using six threaded holes on the rear panel.
Locate the display in an area with protection from the elements and avoid direct sunlight on the
viewing window. Also, consider access to the rear panel of the unit for connecting power and cables to
the various remote sensors. The mounting surface must be flat and solid to support the unit and
prevent vibration. There should be access to the inside of the surface to permit through bolt fastening
for the mounting bracket.

Display Unit Installation

Temporarily install the mounting bracket on the Genesis display unit and place the unit at the selected
location.

CAUTION
The HIS-70A display unit is unstable when the mounting bracket is not secured. Hold the unit in
place at all times.

Check the suitability of the location and make any adjustments. When all is satisfactory, use the holes
in the mounting bracket as a guide and mark the holes locations on the mounting surface.

- 46 -
 Installation
Drill a 1/4 in. diameter hole at each marked location. Mount the HIS-70A display bracket using bolts
through the mounting surface. Place large flat washers on the opposite side of the mounting surface
from the bracket and then install lock washers and nuts. Tighten securely.

Install the display unit into the mounting bracket. Check alignment and operation of the pivots and
security of the mounting. Make any adjustments necessary to prevent binding and assure even
meshing of the pivot locking washers. It is advised to remove the display unit and store it in a safe
place to prevent damage during the rest of the installation process.

- Power Connection

Power is supplied to the HIS-70A System through a connector on the rear panel of the display unit.
Route the power cable from the HIS-70A location to the ship’s power distribution panel.
Connect the black wire to a battery negative (-) terminal of the power panel.
Connect the white wire to a fused battery positive (+) terminal of the power panel ( 12 to 24 Vdc
nominal). If a fused terminal is not available, install an in-line fuse holder.

- 47 -
 Reference

- Care and Cleaning

Your HIS-70A is made to withstand marine elements but a little care ensures a trouble free life.
Accumulations of salt and sand, if not removed, will eventually mar the finish. No solvents or harsh
cleaners should be used. The display unit may be wiped down with a damp cloth while avoiding the
display window. Be careful not to scratch the display window surface. Gently remove any sand or other
grit particles before cleaning the display window. The display window should be cleaned only with
wateaqs0r and a clean soft cloth using very light pressure.

 GPS
For centuries, sailors haven en searching for a reliable and precise method of travelling the world’s
waterways. From celestial navigating to the modern navigation techniques as Loran, Decca navigator,
Omega or Transit Satnav, each system has had its problems with weather, range and reliability.
Without doubt, the “Global Positioning System”, or GPS for short, is the most significant advance in
navigation: it fives the navigator a position 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in any weather condition.
GPS is a satellite based navigation system which provides suitably equipped users with accurate
position, velocity and time data. Originally the GPS, developed by the U.S. Department of Defense,
was conceived for military purposes, but now it is used in a host of civilian applications.
GPS navigation uses satellite signals to determine your position in relation to a set of satellites orbiting
the earth. The GPS constellation of satellites continuously send radio signals, containing the precise
position for each satellite back to earth. By knowing the position of 3 or 4 satellites and calculating
various time differences between transmitted signals, the GPS receiver can determine its present
position anywhere on earth, and thanks to continuous updates, calculate speed and course
information.

HOW GPS WORKS

Currently, the GPS constellation consists of 26 orbiting satellites (including 3 spares), but this number
will increase in the future.
The GPS receiver computes an accurate position by calculating the distance to the GPS satellites that
orbit the earth. Signals are required from 3 satellites for two dimensional (2D) position calculation
whilst 4 satellites are required for three dimensional (3D) position calculation.
As mentioned earlier, GPS satellites are not geostationary, but they are orbiting the earth as illustrated
on the following figure:

[The GPS constellation]

Note that position is repeatedly fixed through the following three steps while any 3 satellites are in line
of sight.
The position calculation procedure is indicated in the following three steps:

1. GPS satellites continuously transmit their own precise orbital data and the GPS receiver computes
their locations by receiving this data.

- 49 -
 GPS

2. In this receiving process, the GPS receiver measures very accurate distances to the satellites, using
the "Spread Spectrum Modulation" method. Excellence in GPS's position-fixing accuracy is mainly
due to this technology.
3. When the satellite locations and their distances are known, the GPS receiver fixes its own position
by triangulation:

[The GPS position calculation]

As illustrated in the previous figure, the position is calculated as the meeting point of three
spheres which are drawn around the three satellites with diameters d1, d2 and d3.

Position Fixing Accuracy: HDOP

The GPS fix accuracy is due to the locations of 3 satellites in the sky. High accuracy is obtainable
when the satellites are widely scattered in the sky; on the
contrary, accuracy is reduced when the satellites have gathered in a narrow space. In the following
figure, in both cases it is possible to obtain the GPS fix, but in the left case the accuracy will be higher
than the right:

[HDOP]

The index for position-fixing accuracy is called HDOP ("Horizontal Dilution Of Precision"). The smaller
the HDop value, the more accurately the position can be fixed.

The installation of the GPS ANT.

The GPS ANT must be installed at the highest area of the boat and the easiest place to catch the
signal from the satellites. If there are obstacles around the GPS ANT, it isn't able to catch all signals.
The receiving time would be longer or the receiving power would be weaker. Please, follow the
instruction for your installation.
1. Keep from a metal.
2. Over 4m away from a MF/HF ANT, VHF or HF whip ANT.
3. Over 1.5m upper away from MF/HF ANT.
4. Over 1m away from a receiving ANT.
5. Don't put the GPS ANT into the range of radar's beam. (Range: 30°～40°)
6. Over 1m away from the scanner of the radar.
7. Over 5m away from the ANT of the inmarsat.
8. Over 3m away form the ANT of the roof.
9. Over 2m away from the engine.
