1.1
The Dataline-X System
The Dataline-X System, as its name implies, uses a single cable to carry both power and data around the vessel to each instrument. This is done using a
NMEA 0183 serial digital communication link, which is an established industry standard. Because of this, instruments from other manufacturers may be interfaced to the Dataline-X System - assuming that they have a NMEA output or input.
This User Guide describes the Navigation System Repeater digital display, known as Dataline-X WAYPOINT+, used within the Dataline-X System.
The Dataline-X WAYPOINT+ provides the user with a sophisticated repeater, able to display the navigational data available from the Shipmate RS5700, 5800 and 5900 GPS and control the Dataline Multi-Chart plotter. It can also be used as a straight forward repeater to a stand-alone GPS/Decca/Loran receiver. In many cases, the WAYPOINT+ will calculate the data for these displays, even if it is not directly present in the Radio Navigator’s output. Man Overboard displays show how to return to the incident position.

2.1
General Description
The LCD display is generally controlled by the three oval buttons. These buttons move up, down, or sideways through the groups of display screens that are available.
2.1.1 The LCD Display
The LCD is divided into three sections, known as sub-screens. The top two sections are the main display, while the smaller, lower, section shows additional data. All data is described by legends located to their left. In addition, there are a number of general information legends.
2.1.2 The Buttons
The word below the button (in white) indicates the main function for that button.
The word below the button (in grey) indicates an additional function which can only be selected when that button is used in conjunction with the round button. Both must be pressed together.
For some functions, such as setting the display backlighting with the round button, the button must be held for greater than 3 seconds.
When a function has been selected, a BEEP will be heard to confirm correct operation.
Figure 2.1 - The Buttons
The main navigational displays are arranged in groups under each of the three oval keys - Position, Waypoint and Navigate. The user cycles round each group by repeatedly pressing the key concerned. When moving to a new group, the first display shown will be the last one accessed in that group.
2.2
Powering Up
When powering up the instrument, it will beep, the pointer will move to the top of the display, and will show all the LCD segments for approximately half a second.
Page 9
Operation Part 2
The display will then show the current position if it is available. If not, it will display ‘NO POS’ and the number of GPS satellites being targeted (if appropriate).
Figure 2.2 - The Display on Power Up
2.3
The ‘Position’ Display
Each successive push of the POSITION button will cause the display to indicate the following:
Present Position and Time
Course and Speed Over Ground and Time
Tidal Set and Drift and Time
Present Position and Time
Select as required.
Notes:
1. Time is only available if the GPS System is being used. It is corrected from Universal Co-Ordinated Time (UTC) to local time by an offset. (See Part 4 for details).
2. If the Navigator outputs Tidal Set and Drift data, then this is shown.
However, it can be calculated from the Course and Speed Over
Ground, the Heading, and the Boat Speed, if all this data is available.
3. Bearings are to Magnetic or True North as selected. ‘MAG’ or ‘TRUE’ is shown to indicate which. (See Part 4 for selection).
Page 10
Part 2 Operation
2.4.1 Position Lost Alarm
If a valid position fix is not received by the WAYPOINT+ for 60 seconds, or it receives a ‘Lost Fix’ message. It will sound an alarm for 10 seconds and display
‘POS LOST’. The phrase ‘NO POS’ will then be shown, instead of the Position display, until a valid position has been received. Any data which can be considered valid without a position fix will still be available.
If the WAYPOINT+ is connected to a GPS, and the NMEA data for the number of satellites that are being tracked is being received, then the number of satellites will also be displayed, as will the time, if this is available. At least three satellites are required for a fix.
2.4
The ‘Waypoint+’ Displays
Each successive push of the WAYPOINT button will cause the display to indicate the following:
Wpt ID, Wpt Bearing, Course Over Ground and Wpt Distance
→
Wpt ID, Wpt Bearing, Time to Go and Wpt Distance
→
Wpt ID, Wpt Bearing, VMG to Wpt and Wpt Distance
Wpt ID, Wpt Bearing, Course Over Ground and Wpt Distance
→
Select as required.
Notes:
1. The Waypoint ID will show the first 4 characters at the selected / current destination. e.g. 99 will show ‘WP99’, or 1000 will show
‘1000’. NEEDLES will show ‘NEED’.
2. Bearings are to Magnetic or True North as selected. ‘MAG’ or ‘TRUE’ is shown to indicate which. (See Part 4 for set-up.)
3. The data will be from Rhumb Line or Great Circle calculations as selected. ‘RL’ or ‘GC’ is shown to indicate which. (See Part 4 for setup.)
4. Time To Go is displayed up to 99 hours, 59 minutes. Longer times are shown as ‘99:59’. If the vessel is moving away from the
Waypoint, the display will show (----’.)
5. If the Navigator outputs Time To Go data, then this is shown.
However, it can be calculated from the Speed Over Ground, Course
Over Ground, Waypoint Distance and Waypoint Bearing, if required.
Page 11
Operation Part 2
2.4.1 Waypoint Arrival Alarms
When the vessel approaches the Waypoint, an alarm will sound for 10 seconds.
If the waypoint arrival circle is entered, then ‘Arr’ is shown, while if the waypoint is passed, then ‘PASS’ is shown.
Note: If the Navigator does not output a waypoint arrival or pass message, then the WAYPOINT+ will sound a Waypoint Pass alarm when the vessel reaches a point where the Waypoint is at 90
°
to the past Track.
2.4.2 Destination Waypoint Advance
Press the WAYPOINT and - buttons together. The GPS or Plotter will now advance to the next waypoint in the route, and the WAYPOINT+ will display the bearing to this waypoint.
Notes:
1. This function is only available if the WAYPOINT+ is connected to a compatible Dataline or Shipmate GPS or Chart Plotter.
2. This function will only work if the system is in Navigate mode, and when not already heading towards the final waypoint in the current route.
2.5
The ‘Navigate’ Displays
Each successive push of the NAVIGATE button will cause the display to indicate the following:
Waypoint ID, Waypoint Bearing, Cross Track Error,
Direction to Steer, and Waypoint Distance
→
Velocity Made Good to Waypoint, Slip
(Cross Track Velocity), and Waypoint Distance
Heading to Steer, Cross Track Error, Direction to Steer, and Waypoint Distance
→
→
Waypoint ID, Waypoint Bearing, Cross Track Error,
Direction to Steer, and Waypoint Distance
Select as required.
Page 12
Part 2 Operation
Notes:
1. If the WAYPOINT+ is connected to a compatible Dataline or
Shipmate GPS or Chart Plotter, a route is set up and the system is not in Navigate mode, then pressing the NAVIGATE button will cause Navigate mode to be entered, heading for the first waypoint in the route.
2. If the WAYPOINT+ is connected to a compatible Dataline or
Shipmate GPS and a route is not set up, then pressing the
NAVIGATE button will give a long ‘error’ beep.
3. Velocity Made Good (VMG) is defined as the speed at which the vessel is approaching the selected Waypoint. If the vessel is actually moving away from the Waypoint, VMG is shown as being negative.
Slip is the rate at which the vessel is moving at 90 ° to the Velocity
Made Good. It is shown as a speed in knots, together with an arrow to indicate the direction of movement, to port or starboard.
4. If the Slip is zero, then the vessel is headed directly towards the
Waypoint.
5. The Cross Track Error direction to steer is the direction to steer in order to regain the original track. This may not be the direction to steer directly to the waypoint, but may be important for safety reasons; for instance, if the track passes close to shoals, or a restricted area. This is the opposite direction to the direction of the
Cross Track Error eg. if off track to the left, then the direction to steer is to the right.
6. The Heading to Steer shows the Magnetic Heading to Steer directly to the Waypoint, allowing for tide and leeway.
7. As it is a Magnetic Compass steering display the Heading to Steer is
ALWAYS
shown relative to Magnetic north, even when the
WAYPOINT+ has been set-up to display True bearings.
8. When the WAYPOINT+ is receiving valid navigation data (Cross
Track Error), ‘NAV’ will be shown on the display to indicate that the system is in Navigate mode.
2.5.1 Ending Navigate Mode
Press the NAVIGATE and - buttons together. The GPS or Plotter will now end
Navigate mode.
Page 13
Operation Part 2
Notes:
1. This function is only available if the WAYPOINT+ is connected to a compatible Dataline or Shipmate GPS or Chart Plotter.
2. This function will only work if the system is in Navigate mode.
2.6
Man Overboard Mode
The WAYPOINT+ Man Overboard Mode can be used to provide directions back to a position.
Press the POSITION and - buttons together. The WAYPOINT+ will now enter
Man Overboard Mode, and show the MOB position. ‘MOB’ will flash to show the unit is in Man Overboard Mode.
While in Man Overboard Mode, each of the three oval buttons show one set of data, as below:
‘Position’ Button = Man Overboard Position and present time.
‘Waypoint’ Button = Bearing to MOB, Course Over Ground, and
Distance to MOB.
‘Navigate’ Button = Bearing to MOB, Estimated Time To Go, and
Distance to MOB.
To leave Man Overboard Mode and return to normal operation, press the
POSITION and - buttons together.
Notes:
1. Tidal Set and Drift are NOT taken into account, and any tide or current will sweep the Man Overboard away from the WAYPOINT+
MOB position.
2. If the WAYPOINT+ is connected to a compatible Dataline or
Shipmate GPS or Chart Plotter, then the GPS or Chart Plotter will enter or leave MOB Mode under control of the WAYPOINT+. The
WAYPOINT+ will also enter or leave MOB Mode under control of the
GPS or Chart Plotter.

2.7
To Set Display Backlighting
1. Press the - button and hold. The display backlighting will change from 0 to level 7, then level 6, then level 5, and so on to level 0. If the button is still held, the level will then increase back to 7 again.
2. At the desired display backlighting, release the - button. This will set the lighting on ALL displays on the Dataline-X system, which are in the same Lighting Bank. The Dataline-X system has two lighting banks, so that the internal lighting on a power boat may be set differently to that on the flybridge, or the cockpit lighting may be set differently to the chart table or mast display lighting on a yacht. All displays are supplied set to bank 1. (See Part 4 for the bank set-up information.).
Note: On some Dataline Systems (not Dataline-X) only lighting levels 0, 3, 5 and
7 are available
2.8
Demonstration Mode
The Demonstration Mode allows the user to familiarize himself/herself with all the functions of the instrument with the device removed from the system.
Demonstration software within the instrument produces realistic values for the display.
A +12V power supply will be required to be connected as follows:
To enter the Demonstration Mode, press the - button whilst applying power to the instrument.
To leave the Demonstration Mode, switch off and re-apply power.
Notes:
0V to the BLACK (far right) terminal.
+12V to the RED (far left) terminal.
1. The display will leave demonstration mode if any data is received.
2. The display can be set to automatically enter 'Shop’ demonstration mode every time it is powered up. (See Part 4 for further details.)

3.1
General
The instrument head is fully waterproof and can, therefore, be installed on deck or below. The connections should be protected from water penetration and should, if possible, allow rear access to remove the desiccant pack, if required. The position selected should, in the first instance, meet the requirements of the helmsman, or crew.
The selected surface for the instrument head must be flat and even to within
0.5 mm.
Before installation, note the Serial Number of the unit and keep it in a safe place.
Page 16
Figure 3.1 - Installation
Part 3 Installation
3.2
Installation
1. Carefully position the self-adhesive template provided on the surface where the instrument is to be mounted.
2. Drill a small pilot hole first, and then check the location on the other side of the panel or bulkhead to confirm suitability.
3. Open out the pilot hole to 50 mm (2 ins.) using a cutter in a handheld brace, or electric drill.
1. Drill the four fixing holes using a 2.5 mm (3.32 ins.) drill.
Figure 3.2 - Mounting Details (Not To Scale)
2. The instrument should next be wired into the system. The wiring should be carried out as in the ‘Choosing the Cable Routes’ and
‘Securing the Cable’ Sections below.
a. If the instrument is being connected to a Dataline-X system, then connect it to the Dataline wire. This can normally be done simply by using the ‘Dataplug’ connector and cable supplied to connect the display to the Databox or to any adjacent display.
Page 17
Installation Part 3
If the cable routing cannot be made with the Dataplug connector attached, then simply disconnect it from the cable. The cable may then be run through holes of down to 6 mm (0.25 ins.) diameter before reconnecting the Dataplug connector, making sure that the colours are correctly wired to the terminals. The correct positions for the different coloured wires are shown on the rear label of the instrument.
b. If the instrument is being connected directly to a Dataline Chart or Multi-Chart Chart Plotter, then the connections are as below:
Red = +12V Power In (Fused 1A).
White = Chart I/O Cable Yellow.
Brown = Chart I/O Cable White.
Green = Chart I/O Cable Green AND Grey.
Black = 0V Power In.
c. If the instrument is being connected to another instrument system then the connections are as below:
Red = +12V Power In (Fused 1A).
White = NMEA Signal In (A / + / Positive).
Brown = Not Connected
Green = NMEA Reference In (B / - / Negative).
Black = 0V Power In.
Figure 3.3 - Electrical Connections
6. Check that the instrument functions correctly.
7. Temporarily disconnect the Dataplug connectors and coat the terminals and wires with silicone grease or petroleum jelly. These products will not harm the instrument.
Page 18
Part 3 Installation
8. Make sure the ‘dovetail’ lugs are free from grease and securely located into the rear of the instrument when replacing the
Dataplugs.
9. Secure the instrument using the four, No 4 self-tapping screws provided. Ensure that the sealing gasket is correctly located.
10. Replace the front cover, the installation of the instrument is complete.
CAUTIONS
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN FIXING SCREWS.
DO NOT USE SEALING COMPOUND ON THE
INSTRUMENT BACK.
DO NOT USE WD40 OR ANY SOLVENT ON ANY PART
OF THE INSTRUMENT.
3.3
Choosing the Cable Routes
After you have decided on the system and started to mount the components of the Dataline-X System, the next step in the installation process is to route the cables between the various parts of the system and to the power supply. When routing the cables, choose the most direct paths while avoiding the following hazards:
• Sharp bends or kinks in the cable
• Hot surfaces (exhaust manifolds or cooking equipment)
• Rotating or reciprocating equipment
•
Sharp or abrasive surfaces
•
Door and window jambs
•
Corrosive fluids or gases
3.4
Securing the Cable
After the ideal cable routing has been established, use tie-wraps, ‘P’ - clips or other fixings to secure the cables along the routings.
Notes:
Page 19
Installation Part 3
1. Install protection for the cable jackets where the cables pass through bulkheads, or past sharp edges. This will prevent the cables from chafing.
2. Secure the cable near to the terminals for strain relieving.
3. Secure the cable ends with enough slack to allow for easy connection.
4. Cut any spare wire ends to an appropriate length.

Navigation Calculations Appendix B
The WAYPOINT+ calculates some data and will calculate others, if sufficient information is available. The following are calculated internally if they are not present in the received NMEA messages:
Bearing to Waypoint
Distance to Waypoint
Velocity Made Good
Time To Go to Waypoint
Note: The Velocity Made Good and Time To Go are calculated from the present position directly to the Waypoint and not from a fixed Track.
Therefore, the Waypoint pass line (used as a definition of arrival at a
Waypoint) is a line through the Waypoint at 90
°
to the present Bearing to the Waypoint, and not 90
°
to the defined Track. The VMG and Time
To Go are, therefore, slightly different from those displayed on the
CHART, Dataline GPS or any stand-alone navigation receiver.
The following are calculated internally, provided that the relevant data is being received.
Set
Drift
Heading To Steer
Slip
The Cross Track Error, and Origin Waypoints
The Cross Track Error is the distance that the vessel is off the Track defined as the straight line drawn between the Origin Waypoint and the destination
Waypoint. The Origin Waypoint is the previous Waypoint in a ‘LIST’ or ‘PLAN’ being used. Note, however, that when entering the Navigate mode, the vessel’s present position is taken as the starting point and that, therefore, this position is effectively the Origin.
The Cross Track Error MUST, obviously, be zero at the moment that the
Navigate mode is selected.
Page 40
Appendix B Navigation Calculations
Heading and Boat Speed, Set and Drift, COG and SOG
The Heading and Boat Speed are rarely the same as the Speed and Course
Over the Ground. The difference between these two vectors is displayed as Set and Drift and, therefore, includes Leeway and tidal stream. The WAYPOINT+ calculates that data using a vector triangle, exactly as the user would construct by hand on a chart.
Note: The WAYPOINT+ Set and Drift is NOT the same as the tidal Set and
Drift because, as explained above, it includes the effect of Leeway due to wind speed/direction and its influence on the vessel. It is not possible to separate the tidal Set and Drift from Leeway unless additional information is made available.
Estimated Time to Go, Pass Lines and Waypoint Arrival Circles
The WAYPOINT+ calculates the Time To Go to the Next Waypoint by extending the Course Over the Ground until it crosses the Pass Line for that
Waypoint. It calculates the time to cover that distance at the present Speed
Over the Ground.
The Pass line is defined as the line that passes through the Waypoint position at 90 ° to the Track from the vessel’s position to the Waypoint concerned. Thus the Arrival Alarm will sound before the Time To Go has elapsed, assuming that the user has set up a Waypoint Alarm radius.
Page 41
Navigation Calculations Appendix B
Velocity Made Good and Slip
The WAYPOINT+ calculates the Velocity Made Good to the Waypoint and slip using a set of vectors. The Velocity Made Good is defined as the component of the Speed Over the Ground, which is in the direction of the destination
Waypoint Bearing.
Slip is the component of Speed Over the Ground at 90 ° to the straight line drawn from the present position to the destination Waypoint. Slip is, therefore, the Cross Track Velocity or the rate at which the vessel is slipping off the Track.
Page 42
Appendix B Navigation Calculations
Heading to Steer
The WAYPOINT+ uses the Speed and Course Over the Ground, Heading and
Boat Speed to calculate the correct Heading to take the vessel directly to the next destination Waypoint, and, therefore, takes into account both tidal
Set/Drift and Leeway.
Note: Large course changes will change the Heading To Steer as will changes in the tide or leeway, caused by re-trimming the boat or changes in wind strength/direction. Therefore, the displayed Heading To Steer should be viewed regularly.
