General Safety Information for the Operator

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.

General Safety Information for Service Personnel

Safety information relating to system configuration, maintenance, serv-
icing and troubleshooting is presented in the respective chapters.

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.

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.

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.

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.

2.2 External control devices

Depending on the installation, external devices may be present to
remotely control certain functions of the NAVIKNOT 600 SE:

• The audible alarm at the NAVIKNOT 600 SE may be muted from a

remote device, e.g. a central alarm panel.
• External pushbuttons may be used to adjust the display brightness.
• If connected to a central dimming facility, the NAVIKNOT 600 SE may
receive dimming commands via a serial data connection.
• An external selector switch may be used to activate or de-activate
the double-ended ferry mode. In this mode, the NAVIKNOT 600 SE
displays and transmits all speeds with the sign reversed.

2.3 Power-up Sequence

The individual components of the NAVIKNOT system are not equipped
with power switches. All devices power up simultaneously, as soon as
supply power is applied to the system.

Upon power up, the startup routine is executed:

The startup screen is shown and a

system test sequence is executed.

A status line at the bottom of the

screen indicates the progress and
results of the following tests:
NAVIKNOT RAM test
NN.NN
I/O test

2.5 Requesting Master Control

In cases where more than one CDU is installed, only one of these is
assigned master control while all others will operate as remote units.

Only from the master, the operator can access the operating and service
menus, acknowledge alarms and scroll through the alarm list.

Remote CDUs permanently display speed and distance. The only keys
functional at a remote CDU are the DIM-/DIM+ keys to adjust the bright-
ness level, the UP and DOWN keys to scroll through the main display
pages and the MASTER key, which requests master control to be trans-
ferred to this CDU.

To request master control at a remote CDU:

REMOTE Press the MASTER key.

Master control is transferred and
the mode indication changes from
“REMOTE” to “MASTER”.

MASTER

Note Master control can only be requested from a CDU which is currently
operating as remote unit.
The current master cannot actively transfer control to a remote CDU.
Any remote CDU may request master control at any time, i.e. control
requests cannot be refused by the current master.

2.6 Adjusting the display brightness

2.7 Optional Functions

The following functions may be available if the system is equipped with
the respective external controls and configured accordingly.

Muting Alarms Remotely

On alarm, actuate the mute control at a remote device (e.g. a central

alarm panel). The audible alarm is muted.

Note A remotely muted alarm remains in the pending (unacknowledged) state.

The alarm is indicated as pending in the sidebar until the alarm is
acknowledged at the NAVIKNOT 600 SE or the cause of the alarm is elim-
inated.

Resetting/Acknowledging a Central Watch Alarm

If connected to a central watch alarm facility ('dead man alarm'), the

NAVIKNOT 600 SE will automatically reset the watch alarm timer when-
ever a key is pressed on the unit.

Should a watch alarm be given, press any key at the NAVIKNOT 600 SE
to acknowledge the alarm and reset the watch alarm timer.

External Dimming

If external DIM+/DIM- pushbuttons are installed, these operate in parallel

with the builtin DIM+/DIM- keys.

For future applications, the NAVIKNOT 600 SE also possesses an input

for serial data dimming commands from a central dimming facility.

Activating Double-Ended Ferry Mode

In certain installations, a switch may be installed to activate or de-acti-

vate the double-ended ferry mode. If this mode is active, all speeds are
displayed and transmitted with their sign reversed.

Note In most installations where the double-ended ferry mode is used, it will
be automatically activated via a general take-over system which transfers
control between the forward and aft steering positions.

Chapter 4: Scheduled Maintenance

4.1 Maintenance by Shipboard Personnel

Electronics Unit, CDU and Antenna Unit

The electronic components of the NAVIKNOT 600 SE system are solid-

state devices and contain no consumable parts. Therefore, no set main-
tenance schedule is required.

The satellite antenna unit should regularly be checked visually to detect

any signs of mechanical damage or wear and to make sure it is still
aligned correctly to the vessel’s fore and aft axis.

The CDU front plate should be kept clean and the system’s cables and
connectors should regularly be checked visually to detect any signs of
damage or deterioration.

CAUTION The CDU front plate is made of clear polycarbonate.

Do not clean the front plate with organic solvents, acetone or any other
substance which could damage or discolor plastic.
Use only water and soap or a mild detergent to clean the front plate.

EM-Log Sensor Maintenance

Depending on the type of EM-sensor installed, certain maintenance pro-

cedures are to be carried out at regular intervals, such as cleaning of the
sensor head and lubrication/overhaul of the sea valve, if applicable.

The recommended maintenance schedule and procedures are described

in the installation, maintenance and service instructions for the respec-
tive sensor. The following documents apply:
– Sensor NF: document no. 002829-0125-001;
– Sensor FNF I: document no. 004040-0125-001;
– Sensor FNF II: document no. 004120-0125-001;

5.1 Mechanical Installation

Antenna Unit

The antenna unit consists of a bow and stern GPS antenna mounted on
a beam-shaped support. The arrow on the support must point either
ahead or to the port side. The chosen orientation must be entered in the
GPS setup menu during system configuration. Possible misalignment of
up to ±9.9° may be electronically compensated for in the setup menu.

Figure 5-1: forward port

antenna unit
alignment

The location of the antenna must provide an unobstructed view of the

sky. It should be clear of reflections from masts, out of the path of the
radar beam, and out of the range of any object that may shadow or
interfere with the reception of GPS signals.

The antenna support may be mounted directly onto the mounting sur-
face or on a pedestal. The required mounting material is contained in
the installation kit 4302244, included with the antenna.

When installing the antenna unit, the cable assembly must be connected
to the cables from the bow and stern antenna. After connecting the
cables, secure them to the support with the wire clips and seal the cable
connections with the self-fusing tape provided.

CAUTION Do not shorten or lengthen the antenna cables. The antennas’ output
gain is matched to the cable length of 15 or 50 m respectively.
Antenna unit 73513 may only be used with the 15 m cables supplied.
Antenna unit 73514 may only be used with the 50 m cables supplied.

Note The installation kit contains connectors intended for use of the satellite
PCB in the NAVISTAR satellite compass system. These are not required
in the NAVIKNOT 600 SE system, at the electronics unit is delivered
prewired with all internal connections between the satellite and process-
ing PCBs being installed at the factory.
Likewise, installation drawings referring to other parts than the antenna
unit are not relevant in conjunction with the NAVIKNOT 600 SE system.

EM-Log Sensor and Preamplifier

Details of the installation of the EM-log sensor and the preamplifier E

are contained in the installation, maintenance and service instructions
and the dimension/installation drawing for the respective sensor and
preamplifier E. The following documents apply:
– Sensor NF: document no. 002829-0125-001;
– Sensor FNF I: document no. 004040-0125-001;
– Sensor FNF II: document no. 004120-0125-001;
– Sensor FNF III: document no. 004874-0125-001.
In general, field service will attend a vessel after the sensor has been
installed mechanically by the shipyard or, in case of the sensor NF, after
the hull fittings have been installed. In most cases, the vessel will be
afloat at this point in time.
The preamplifier may be installed at the same time as the sensor or
later, together with the other electronic components of the
NAVIKNOT 600 SE system.

Electronics Unit

The electronics unit is to be installed at a protected location. In most

cases, it will be mounted in the vicinity of the master CDU.

The electronics unit is to be attached to a level surface with four M6

screws (or nuts and bolts). For the dimensions of the housing, refer to
drawing 5004-0112-01.

The electronics unit may be deck-mounted only and must face in either
the forward, aft, port or starboard direction, relative to the vessel’s fore-
and-aft line, to an accuracy within ±5°.

Console Mounting

3x1 CDU (main or remote)

To mount a NAVIKNOT 3x1 CDU directly in a console panel (without con-
sole frame), a panel cutout is required as shown in drawing 5002-0112-
02 (see Appendix). Suitable fasteners for console mounting are pro-
vided in the installation kit 22596, included with the CDU.

A backward clearance of approx. 120 mm from the mounting surface is

required for the connector cable and plug.

2x1 CDU (remote)

To mount a 2x1 CDU directly in a console panel (without console frame),
a panel cutout is required as shown in drawing 5001-0112-02 (see
Appendix). Suitable fasteners for console mounting are provided in the
installation kit 22724, included with the CDU.

A backward clearance of approx. 100 mm from the mounting surface is

required to protect the connector cable from being bent too strongly at
the cable gland.

Console Frame Versions

When ordered factory-assembled in a console frame, the CDU is already

fastened to the frame. The required cutouts for standard 3x1 and 2x 1
frames are shown in drawings 0031-0112-02 and 0021-0112-02 respec-
tively (see Appendix).

If a custom frame is delivered, installation-specific dimensional draw-

ings for the frame and cutout will be provided with the equipment.

Units in Housing with Bracket

The CDUs in housing with bracket are shown in dimensional drawings

5002-0112-02 and 5003-0112-002 respectively (see Appendix). The
mounting brackets carry four holes of 5.3 mm dia. for fixing the bracket
to any plane surface, such as a console panel, wall or ceiling. The
required fasteners are to be provided by the shipyard or installer.

Connector Cables

The NAVIKNOT CDU connector cables terminate into a 7-wire pigtail for
direct connection to the terminals at the Electronics Unit or to separate
terminal blocks.

If required, separate terminal block is to be provided by the shipyard or

installer.
The installer must make sure that the ends of cable sheaths are firmly
secured to the vessel structure with tie-wraps or other suitable means,
so that the individual wires are free from tension at the terminals.

5.2 Electrical Installation

Preamplifier E, Type 2863, AC Power Configuration

The preamplifier is delivered prewired for connection to 230VAC. If the

amplifier is required to operate on 115 VAC, it must be reconfigured
accordingly.
Details of the AC power configuration are described in the applicable
installation, maintenance and service instructions for the sensor.

Wiring Up the System

DANGER When the AC supply power is switched on, live voltages are present at
certain terminals and tracks on the preamplifier PCB.
When wiring up the preamplifier, make sure the AC power supply is
switched off and safeguarded against accidental switching-on.

CAUTION When wiring up the system, make sure that the power supply for the
NAVIKNOT system is switched off and is safeguarded against accidental
switching-on.

CAUTION Components on the devices’ PCBs are sensitive to static discharge.

Take the necessary precautions to prevent electrostatic discharges.

Wire up the system according to the connection diagrams and other rel-
evant documents provided.

If installation-specific connection diagrams have been provided for a

given system, these supersede any connection information contained in
standard connection diagrams.

If wiring up according to standard connection diagrams, make sure

beforehand that all data and signals to receive from or transmit to exter-
nal equipment comply to the NAVIKNOT Electronics Unit interface spec-
ification, 5004-0120-001.

CDU Service Setup – Parameters

CDU ID

Sets the CDU’s local ID.

The ID serves to identify the individual CDUs in systems where one or
more remote CDUs are installed. The electronics unit uses the ID to keep
track of which CDU is currently assigned master command.

Setting: 0–9
Select an ID between “1” and “9” if more than one CDU is
installed. A given ID may only be assigned to one CDU
within the system.
In a single-CDU system, select ID “0”.

Dimming

Group ID

Assigns the CDU to a dim group.

The ID setting is only effective if dimming commands are read from the
proprietary NMEA sentence $PPLAI.

Setting: 00 – 99
Select an ID between “01” and “09” to assign the CDU to
the respective dim group.
Selecting ID “00” lets the CDU accept any dim command
received, regardless of group assignment.

Central Dim Offset

Sets a local offset for the brightness level.

Setting: -7 – +7
Select an offset as required to match the brightness of the
CDU to that of other equipment controlled through the same
dim command device.
Offsets below 0 decrease, offsets above 0 increase the
CDU’s overall brightness by the corresponding number of
brightness levels. However, the offset will not alter the
brightness beyond the min. and max levels respectively.
The factory default for the offset is 0.

Dim Values (min. through max.)

Maps the ordered brightness setting as read from the serial dim com-
mand to the NAVIKNOT 600 SE’s nine discrete brightness levels.

Settings: 00 – 99

For each brightness level, set the smallest intensity order at

which the level should be active. If the order received is
smaller than the set value, brightness is reduced to the next
lower level.

Relay Speed Limit

Sets the lower and/or upper switching thresholds for the speed limit
relay output.

The speed limit relay output provides a status signal to external equip-
ment, to indicate that the actual speed has exceeded or fallen below a
set threshold. This signal may be e.g. for speed-dependent rudder angle
limiting or similar applications.

The switching behaviour of the limit relay is determined by the com-

bined settings of two values, the minimum (lower threshold) and the
maximum (upper threshold) value:

MIN If only a minimum threshold value

is set and active, the relay is
relay ON relay OFF
attracted at speeds below and
released at speeds above the
speed threshold value.

MAX If only a maximum threshold value

is set and active, the relay is
relay OFF relay ON
attracted at speeds above and
released at speeds below the
speed threshold value.

If both a minimum and a maximum

MIN MAX threshold value are set and active,
the relay is released at speeds
relay OFF relay ON relay OFF
below the min. value, attracted at
speeds in-between both values and
speed released again at speeds above the
max. threshold.

If the max. threshold is set to a

Heading Selection

Configures the heading sources available to the satellite PCB.

The currently active source provides the heading sent from the satellite
PCB to the NAVIKNOT 600 SE electronics unit.

Only the GPS source may be made active, i.e. the satellite PCB must
always determine the vessel’s heading internally from the two GPS
receivers’ signals.

The MAG and EXT source options are not applicable in the
NAVIKNOT 600 SE system.

Settings: GPS
The GPS source must be enabled, i.e. set to ON at all times.

The GPS source will be activated automatically, if no other

source is enabled.

MAG
The MAG source must be disabled, i.e. set to OFF at all

Heading Offsets

Sets the correction values (“deltas”) to compensate for existing offsets

of the heading sources relative to the vessel’s fore-and-aft line.

As only the GPS source is used within the NAVIKNOT 600 SE system, a
delta value must be entered for the GPS source only. This compensates
for misalignment of the GPS antenna support with the vessel’s fore-and-
aft line

Settings: GPS
delta (correction value): -9.9 – +9.9°

Determine the existing misalignment by comparing the GPS

heading as shown on the setup page with the true heading
from the vessel’s heading reference (e.g. the gyrocompass).

Enter the required delta to match the GPS heading with the
heading reference. The correction is effective immediately,
so that the GPS heading displayed on screen should now
exactly match with the reference.

Chapter 7: EM Sensor Calibration

Once the NAVIKNOT 600 SE system has been installed and the basic
configuration carried out, the EM sensor must be calibrated to make
sure that the system’s water speed and distance outputs meet the speci-
fied accuracy.

7.1 Sensor Sensitivity Setting

Upon installation or exchange of the EM sensor, the sensor’s sensitivity
value must be stored in the NAVIKNOT 600 SE electronics unit.

Sensitivity is a characteristic property of the individual sensor installed

and is noted on a label attached to the sensor. It is also recorded in the
delivery documents for the given sensor.

The sensitivity value is a dimensionless number for the ratio between

the sensor’s return signal and the nominal standard of 180 μVAC/kn.
Typical values for EM sensors range from 0.7 to 1.14.

Note When checking the effect of the sensitivity setting, bear in mind that the
value does not equal the gain applied but, rather, its reciprocal. Thus, for
example, a sensitivity value of 0.8 multiplies the raw speed by 1.25, while
a value of 1.25 multiplies it by 0.8.

To set the sensitivity value:

7.2 Sensor Calibration

To minimize the deviation between the vessel’s actual water speed and
the speed displayed and transmitted, the NAVIKNOT 600 SE stores sen-
sor-specific calibration data in a so-called calibration table.

The calibration table holds up to 21 entries, so-called calibration points,

each of which consist of an uncalibrated and a corresponding true water
speed value. The entries holding the lowest and highest uncalibrated
speed value determine the range over which calibration is effective.

Note To calibrate speeds astern, at least one calibration point with a negative
uncalibrated speed value must be stored. Otherwise, calibration is effec-
tive for speeds ahead only.

The effects of setting calibration points (i.e. adding entries to the calibra-
tion table) at different states of calibration are illustrated below.

056349/C NAVIKNOT 600 SE

Zero Point Calibration

Before any entries for non-zero speeds are stored in the calibration table
or calibration trial runs are conducted, the zero point calibration should
be carried out.

The “zero point” refers to the calibration table entry which holds the
uncalibrated (“raw“) speed value corresponding to a true water speed of
zero knots. Two methods are available to calibrate the zero point: man-
ual and auto.

Note Both the manual and the automatic zero point calibration require that the
vessel is stationary.

Manual Entry

The manual entry method permits zero point calibration in waters which
are not free of current. However, the longitudinal component of the cur-
rent must be known and it must be small enough to regard the sensor as
operating near zero speed.

To carry out the manual zero-point calibration:

1. Go to page 2 of the Service Setup;

select the Calibration | Zero Point | Man Calibration sub-menu.
Three values are shown, the true speed, the uncalibrated speed and
the calibration value (i.e. the difference of the two speeds).
The uncalibrated speed is the raw speed value as currently received
from the EM sensor (not editable).
The objective of the calibration is now to alter the calibration value
until the displayed true speed value matches the known actual water
speed.
Thus, in waters free of current, the displayed true speed value must
be brought to zero; in the presence of current, the true speed value
must be made equal to the known longitudinal component of the
current.

value until the displayed
MAN CALIBRATION true speed exactly

CAL VALUE -00.4
3. Press ENTER to confirm
the setting and leave the
manual calibration sub-
menu.

Note When the manual entry is stored, the true speed entered is automatically
subtracted from both the uncalibrated and true speed values.
Thus, the entry written to the table will always contain the uncalibrated
value corresponding to a true speed of zero knots.

NAVIKNOT 600 SE 056349/C

Automatic Entry

With the automatic entry method, the required zero point setting is
determined automatically. Automatic entry may only be used when the
vessel is stationary in waters free of current, i.e., if the actual water
speed is known to be zero.

To carry out the automatic zero-point calibration:

1. Go to page 2 of the Service Setup;

select the Calibration | Zero Point | Auto Calibration sub-menu.
As with the manual entry method, the true speed, the uncalibrated
speed and the calibration value are shown.
However, the true speed value is fixed to zero knots and cannot be
adjusted by the operator. The uncalibrated speed is the raw speed
value as currently received from the EM sensor, thus the calibration
value will be equal to the uncalibrated speed with the sign reversed.

Calibration by Trial Runs

Calibration by trial runs is the recommended method to calibrate the

EM-sensor in the NAVIKNOT 600 SE. system. The procedure resembles
the familiar “milepost run”, but permits any known distance to be taken
as the length of a run.

The known distance may be given by the distance between sidebearings

to prominent landmarks. The regular procedure in this case is to start
and stop the run clock exactly at the points in time when the landmarks
are sighted athwartships.
However, as the NAVIKNOT 600 SE obtains the vessel’s current position
from the sattelite PCB, it is equally acceptable to start the run clock at a
given point in time and to stop it as soon as a distance of at least one
mile has been traversed.

Generally, for each correction value to be determined, a two way trial

run should be carried out, i.e. the same known distance “l” should be
traversed in opposite directions (runs A and B). This will make the
effects of drift due to wind and current cancel out each other automati-
cally. Only when no wind and current are present, a one way trial run
may be carried out.

The first two or one way trial run should be carried out at maximum sea
speed, to define the upper limit of the calibrated range. Additional trial
runs may be carried out later at lower speeds to improve the accuracy
within the calibrated range.

Two Way Trial Run

Note During a two way trial run, the vessel’s heading during runs A and B
should ideally be parallel to the direction of the effective drift, as the drift
component perpendicular to the heading cannot be compensated for.

To carry out a two way trial run:

1. Bring the vessel on the required course for the approach to run A.
2. Approach the run with the speed (engine rev.s) at which the calibra-
tion is to be carried out. Keep the heading and speed steady.

One Way Trial Run

Note In a one way trial run, any drift due to wind and/or current will adversely
affect the calibration. Conducting a one way trial run in the presence of
drift, may degrade instead of improve the speed accuracy.

To carry out a one way trial run:

1. Bring the vessel on the required course for the approach to the run.
2. Approach the run with the speed (engine rev.s) at which the calibra-
tion is to be carried out. Keep the heading and speed steady.
3. Go to page 2 of the Service Setup and select the Calibration | One
Way Trial Run sub-menu.
The run clock is shown, indicating 00:00 s run time and the uncali-
brated water speed as received from the EM sensor.

Chapter 8: Troubleshooting

8.1 Electronics Unit and CDU(s)

The NAVIKNOT 600 SE electronics unit and the CDU are complex elec-
tronic devices. In case of malfunction, it would neither be practical nor
economical to carry out troubleshooting and servicing in the field down
to the level of individual circuit components.

Unless instructed otherwise by Sperry Marine engineering, field service

personnel should limit troubleshooting to the basic checks given below.

• For the electronics unit:

– Visual inspection of mechanical components, the processor and
satellite PCBs and wiring.
– Continuity checks of wiring connections.
– Checks for short circuit or overload conditions or reversed polar-
ity of the external supply powers.
– Checks of the on-board supply voltages and I/O signals and data.
The presence of voltages, signals and data is indicated by diag-
nostic LEDs on the PCB.
Exact voltage levels must be checked with a voltmeter.
The data content on serial I/O lines must be checked with the aid
of suitable analyzing tools, such as PC-based protocol interpret-
ers or terminal programs.
When components on the processor PCB, other than socketed ICs or
the exchangeable system software flashboard, are assumed to cause
malfunction, the complete PCB, Stock No. 20692, is to be exchanged.
When malfunction of the satellite PCB is assumed, the complete
PCB, Stock No. 20711 is to be exchanged.
If malfunction of the electronics unit cannot be tracked down to one
of the PCBs, the electronics unit as a whole is to be exchanged.
• For the CDU(s):
– Visual inspection of mechanical components and wiring.
– Continuity checks of wiring connections at the terminals or termi-
nal block to which the 6-wire CDU connection cable is fastened.
– Checks for the presence and correct polarity of the external sup-
ply power.
The CDU is not field-serviceable and should not be opened for trou-
bleshooting purposes. Defective CDUs must be sent back to Sperry
Marine for repair.

8.2 EM Sensor and Preamplifier

Malfunction of the EM sensor, resulting in a “Sensor1 Failure” alarm
being given, may be caused by a mechanical or electrical defect in the
sensor or by a defective preamplifier. As the preamplifier contains no
built-in test circuitry, only a basic electrical check is possible in the field.

The applicable troubleshooting procedures are described in the installa-

tion, maintenance and service instructions for the respective sensor. The
following documents apply:
– Sensor NF: document no. 002829-0125-001;
– Sensor FNF I: document no. 004040-0125-001;
– Sensor FNF II: document no. 004120-0125-001;
– Sensor FNF III: document no. 004874-0125-001.

Chapter 9: Corrective Maintenance

The NAVIKNOT 600 SE CDU, the PCBs inside the electronics unit and the
EM-Log preamplifier are generally not field-serviceable on the compo-
nent level. Defective devices must be sent back to Sperry Marine for
repair.

The only corrective maintenance procedures which may be performed

by field service personnel are the exchange of the system software in
the electronics unit and the replacement of the RS-422 output drivers
and the pulse output relays.

CAUTION The NAVIKNOT 600 SE electronics unit contains electrostatic sensitive

components.

Electrostatic discharge may permanently damage components.

When servicing the electronics unit, take precautions to prevent electro-

static discharge. Avoid touching any of the electronic circuitry.

9.1 Exchanging the System Software

Downloading Software from the Flashboard

The NAVIKNOT 600 SE electronics unit keeps two separate copies of the
system software, one in an onboard flash memory and the other on the
exchangeable software flashboard 20705.

The system always boots up from the onboard memory. Should, at

power-up, a different software version be found on the flashboard than
is currently stored onboard, the software from the flashboard is auto-
matically copied to the onboard memory and the system is restarted.

This allows both to upgrade to newer and to downgrade to previous

releases by simply exchanging the flashboard.

CAUTION It cannot be guaranteed that parameters settings in the User and Setup
menus and the currently active manual settings are left intact during the
software download.
Before exchanging the flashboard, record all settings to be able to re-
enter them manually, if required.

Exchanging the System Software 9-1

056349/C NAVIKNOT 600 SE

Exchanging the Flashboard

1. Power down the NAVIKNOT 600 SE system.

2. Open the electronics unit and locate the old flashboard in its socket
(J7) on the PCB.

3. Carefully remove the plastic pin

which secures the flashboard to
the PCB.
4. Pull the old flashboard out of the
socket, making sure to touch it
at the edges only.

5. Insert the new flashboard into

the socket.
6. Secure the flashboard with the
plastic pin.

7. Power-up the NAVIKNOT 600 SE system.

8. The electronics unit will recognize the new flashboard and download
the updated software to the onboard memory.

9. The CDU shows the “waiting for

main unit” message for several
minutes while the software is
downloaded. During the down-
load, the LEDs CR 6, 7 and 22 on
the electronics unit PCB will
NAVIKNOT flash in sequence.
NN.NN
Upon completion of the down-
WAITING FOR MAIN UNIT
load, the system automatically
restarts.

CAUTION Do not disconnect power or otherwise interrupt the power-up process

after an exchange of the flashboard.

9-2 Exchanging the System Software

NAVIKNOT 600 SE 056349/C

Uploading Software via the Service Interface

The system software may also be uploaded from a PC or laptop via the
RS-232 service interface on the electronics unit PCB.

At the time of writing of this manual, however, an upload program for

field service use is not yet available. Sperry Marine will issue an official
Service Bulletin as soon as such a program becomes available.

9.2 Replacing RS-422 Output Driver ICs

The RS-422 output drivers, ICs 2 and 16, are socketed 16-pin DIL chips. If
failure or malfunction of RS-422 outputs is attributed to a defective
driver IC, the respective chip can easily be replaced against a new one.

The driver ICs are standard quadruple RS-422 line drivers (MC3487),
available from Sperry Marine Hamburg under part no. 46485.

9.3 Replacing Pulse Output Relays

The pulse output relays, ICs 14, 15, 17, 18, 23 and 24, are socketed solid
state relays in a 6-pin DIL package.
If failure of a pulse output is attributed to a defective relay, the respec-
tive component can easily be replaced against a new one.

The pulse relays are photocoupler photo relays (TLP 598G), available
from Sperry Marine Hamburg under part no. 42842.
