QUICK START

You will find this product extremely easy to operate.

• Follow the installation guidelines

• Re-check the cable connections

• Apply power

• Switch on the ICS NAV5plus

• The ICS NAV5plus will now print NAVTEX messages

INTRODUCTION

NAVTEX is a method of transmitting navigational warnings and weather

forecasts from designated coast radio stations. All English language

transmissions are made on 518 kHz. Each station is allocated several time

‘slots’ during the day, when it is permitted to transmit; these are normally at

four hourly intervals. The only exceptions to this are gale warnings and

search and rescue messages, which may be transmitted at any time.

Reception of NAVTEX is normally limited to an area of 200 — 300 miles

radius around each transmitting station, although considerably greater

ranges are possible at night.

Subject to IMO approval, additional local language transmissions may be

made on 490 kHz.

The ICS NAV5plus has been designed to the latest European and

International specifications to provide up to date weather and navigation

warning information to commercial vessels. It meets IMO requirements

under GMDSS and is designed for simplicity of operation. It will provide

reliable printed information day after day within designated NAVTEX

coverage areas.

Installation is straightforward. Connect the ICS NAV5plus to a 12 or 24 volt

DC supply and connect a suitable antenna. Switch it on, and it will start

printing NAVTEX messages without further manual intervention. Note that if

there are only a couple of NAVTEX stations within range it may be several

hours before you receive the first message

If all stations and message types are left selected, the ICS NAV5plus may

overwhelm you with information. It can therefore be set up to print only

those stations and message categories you want to receive and which are

applicable to the area in which you are sailing.

Normally, routine messages are repeated at four hourly intervals. Provided

that the ICS NAV5plus is left running, repeated messages are not printed

again. The suppression of repeated messages stops three days (72 hours)

after the last transmission of the message.

Permanent installation of the ICS NAV5plus can be made with the

bulkhead-mounting bracket provided. Alternatively, the optional FMT-2

flush panel mounting kit, part number 913-24, may be purchased.

A NAVTEX antenna should be mounted where it is elevated clear of metal

objects in a location where it cannot easily be damaged.

Please read the installation section of the user guide thoroughly

before attempting installation of the ICS NAV5plus.

DUAL CHANNEL OPERATION

The ICS NAV5plus is a dual channel receiver.

The and keys on the keypad are used to switch the LCD display

between RX-A (the standard 518 kHz receiver) and RX-B (the 490 kHz

second receiver ).

The LAST MSG display shows the identity number of the last message

received on that receiver and the two-dot signal indicator will flash if there is

a signal being received from that receiver.

• Pressing and will display the corresponding information for the

other receiver.

Notes:

Although the and keys are used to select which receiver is shown

on the display, it is important to realise that both receivers are actively

receiving signals all the time.

If messages are being transmitted at the same time on both channels, both

messages will be received and printed.

Messages from RX-B are identified separately on the printout.

Only messages from the 518 kHz receiver channel will be present on the

RS422 serial output.

NAVTEX Stations Setup Procedure

When the key is pressed, the set up mode for the selected receiver will

be started. This enables the stations and message types required for that

receiver to be set. The two receivers are set up independently.

Station selection is displayed first:

Press followed by either the or the buttons, one push of either

button will select, a second push will deselect.

Deselected stations are indicated by a ‘dash’ (–).

Each NAVTEX transmitting station has its own identifying letter. A list of

these can be found in the NAVTEX Station Designations table section of

this manual (Appendix 1).

If you do not know which stations cover your area, start by leaving them all

stations selected. You will soon find which stations are relevant to you.

SYSTEM ALARMS

Audible Alarms

The alarm signal within the ICS NAV5plus will sound under the following

circumstances:—

• INCORRECT KEY PRESSED

• PAPER OUT

• LOW BATTERY ( Power supply voltage is less than 9V DC)

• VITAL NAVTEX MESSAGE

Remove the cause of the alarm and then press the key to stop the

alarm.

Visible Alarms

The visible alarms will show on the LCD under the following

circumstances:—

• PAPER OUT

• LOW BATTERY ( Power supply voltage is less than 9V DC)

• VITAL NAVTEX MESSAGE

Remove the cause of the alarm and then press the key to stop the

alarm.

SERIAL OUTPUT

The ICS NAV5plus has an EIA RS422A-compatible serial output which can

be used to connect the ICS NAV5plus to other equipment such as an

integrated bridge system or a PC running charting software.

The serial output operates all the time that the ICS NAV5plus is switched on

– there is no ON/OFF control for the serial output.

All correctly received NAVTEX messages from the 518 kHz receiver are

sent to the serial output. The station and message category settings for

printing within the ICS NAV5plus are ignored.

It is anticipated that the external equipment (e.g. a PC running charting

software) will have its own method of selecting stations and message

categories and as such ALL NAVTEX messages received by the ICS

NAV5plus will be output.

Note: Only messages from the 518 kHz receiver channel will be present on

the RS422 serial output.

Connecting to the Serial Output

Main Connector

Pin Function

3 EIA-RS-422-A Output (TxA)

4 EIA-RS-422-A Output (TxB)

The RS422 output is ‘simplex’ which means that multiple receivers can be

connected to the ICS NAV5plus but the ICS NAV5plus is the only

transmitter.

The RS422 standard for connecting equipments specify that, for a short

cable with only one receiver, the cable may be unterminated. For longer

cables (20 metres or more) or installations with multiple receivers, a

termination resistor should be fitted at the far end of the cable run from the

ICS NAV5plus. The resistor value should be the ‘characteristic impedance’

of the cable, which typically is 100 to 120ohms. A ¼ W resistor is sufficient.

The cable used should be twisted pair 7/0.2 mm or similar.

Configuring the RS422 Receiver

The receiving device (a PC running charting software, or similar) needs to

be configured so that it can receive the NAVTEX messages output from the

ICS NAV5plus. Set up the RS422 receiver’s communication port as:

Baud rate 4800

8 data bits

1 stop bit

no parity

XON/XOFF

Connecting to an RS422 Device

If the receiver is an RS422 device then only 2 connections are required:

Pin ICS NAV5plus

Connection RS422 Receiver Connection

3 Output (Y) Input (A)

4 Output (Z) Input (B)

Note that, because receiver terminology varies between manufacturers, it

may be necessary to swap the two connections for the receiver to function

correctly. Don’t worry – you won’t damage the interface.

Connecting to a RS232 Device

If the receiver is a RS232 device, eg a computer serial (COM) port, then a

RS422 to RS232 converter is required.

A suitable converter is Amplicon ‘Model 485F9/485H9’, although any similar

product should be compatible. Be sure to follow the connection instructions

supplied with your converter.

TEARING OFF A PRINTOUT

Use a gentle up or downward and sideways motion to tear the paper at the

exit point of the ICS NAV5plus case.

Warning: DO NOT PULL THE PAPER THROUGH THE PRINTER AS

THIS ACTION MAY DAMAGE THE PRINTER MECHANISM

Always use the paper feed button to feed the paper clear of the

mechanism.

PAPER LOADING

The ICS NAV5plus is supplied with one roll of paper fitted. At the end of this

paper roll the ICS NAV5plus will sound an alarm and printing will stop.

Early warning that the paper is about to run out is given by red stripes on

the paper.

Should the paper run out in the middle of a message, information will not be

lost provided that the ICS NAV5plus is not switched off whilst the paper roll

is replaced.

Ensure that proper anti-static procedures are applied when installing or

servicing the ICS NAV5plus and also when replacing the paper roll. Take

care to discharge any static that you may be carrying by touching exposed

metalwork on the case prior to replacing the paper roll.

• To remove the remaining paper, open the paper loading door. Push a

top corner of the door to release the locking door catch

• Tear off the paper where it enters the printer mechanism

• Remove the old paper roll

• Remove the plastic spindle from inside the paper roll

• Press the paper feed button to feed the remaining paper through

the printer mechanism

Warning: DO NOT PULL THE PAPER THROUGH THE PRINTER AS

THIS ACTION MAY DAMAGE THE PRINTER MECHANISM

• Place the new roll onto the spindle with the paper emerging from the

top of the roll pointing towards you

• Mount the new roll and spindle onto the roll bracket

• Insert the paper into the slot at the base of the printer mechanism, and

feed it in as far as it will go

It is important that the edge of the new paper roll is cut straight and

that the paper is dry. Use scissors to prepare a clean straight paper

edge.

• Check that the paper is inserted so that the heat sensitive surface is

uppermost as the paper exits the printer

• Check that the paper roll is correctly aligned with the print mechanism

as shown below

CORRECT INCORRECT

Press the paper feed button until the paper appears through the door

exit

ICS NAV5plus System Overview

NAVTEX

ANTENNA

Mechanical Mounting using U-Bracket Supplied

The standard bulkhead mounting U-Bracket can be used to mount the ICS

NAV5plus above or below a horizontal (or near horizontal) surface.

• Use the U-bracket as a template to mark out the 4 fixing holes on

the mounting surface.

• Drill 4 off fixing pilot holes (1/8 inch / 2.5 mm diameter for

hardwood, or 3/32 inch / 3mm diameter for softwood or plywood).

• Use the No.10 S/S pozidrive screws supplied to attach the U-

Bracket to the mounting surface.

• Use the two 25 mm diameter rubber washers supplied between the

U-Bracket and the ICS NAV5plus case.

• Make the necessary electrical connections to the rear of the ICS

NAV5plus.

• Ensure that the two handwheel knobs are inserted through the

bracket and rubber washers on each end of the ICS NAV5plus.

• Hand tighten the knobs.

Mechanical Mounting using the Optional Flush Mount Kit

If the ICS NAV5plus is to be mounted through a flat panel, it is advised that

you purchase the FMT-2 flush mounting kit option, part 913-24.

Full fitting instructions are included in the FMT-2 flush mounting kit.

Warning: Do not mount the ICS NAV5plus in a position where sea spray

can reach it, or where it may be exposed to direct sunlight

Electrical Connections

A connection must be made to a 12 or 24 V DC supply via a circuit breaker

capable of supplying at least 2 amps. Connection should be to the ships

radio battery and be in accordance with GMDSS requirements.

• Connections are made directly to the screw terminals on the ICS

NAV5plus mating connector at the rear of the unit using the 1m length

cable provided.

• Use cable ties to restrain the wiring, and so prevent it becoming

weakened by vibration. The connecting cables should be restrained by

securing them to the rear of the ICS NAV5plus bracket, or to adjacent

metalwork.

Safety Warning

The ICS NAV5plus has been designed and manufactured to be

completely safe when used in accordance with the instructions

given in this manual. To ensure that the complete installation is

safe, it is essential that a fuse or circuit breaker is installed in the

supply cable as described in the Installation Section of this

manual.

The ICS NAV5plus is supplied with a DC power cable and an in-

line Type ‘T’ 2.5 amp fuse. It is essential that this fuse is included

in the installation.

To ensure the best possible protection of the ICS NAV5plus from

static electricity or nearby lighting strikes, the pre-fitted green

grounding wire (connected to the safety earth stud) must be

connected to a nearby (hull) electrical grounding point.

• The auxiliary alarm contact is capable of switching up to 24 V DC at up

to 2 A. The contacts are not connected to any internal voltages

• The power supply input is isolated from the case and antenna. It must

remain within the range 10.8 – 32 V DC at all times.

Selecting a Suitable Antenna

The ICS NAV5plus receives transmissions on two frequencies. 518 kHz

transmissions are in International English; 490 kHz tranmissions may be in

a local language.

To receive on both frequencies the ICS NAV5plus must be used with a

broadband antenna that covers both 518 kHz and 490 kHz.

Only one antenna can be connected to the ICS NAV5plus, either to the

passive antenna input or to the active antenna input.

Several different antenna types are recommended for the ICS NAV5plus.

The best option will depend upon the receive frequencies required and the

ease of installation.

Choice of Antenna

Antenna 490 kHz 518 kHz

ANT/w 99

NAV-ANT/w * 99

NAV-ACTIVE * 99

Whip antenna with 50 ohm match 99

Long wire with 50 ohm match 99

* recommended options

The ICS NAV5plus must be used with a low impedance 50 Ω antenna

or an antenna with a 50 Ω matching network.

A ‘mis-matched’ or ‘high impedance’ whip or wire antenna should not be

used or the operational range of NAVTEX reception will be greatly reduced.

• If a ‘Wire’ or ‘long whip’ antenna is used with the ICS NAV5plus it must

be fitted with a 50 Ω matching transformer.

Important

NAVTEX antennas must be mounted clear of obstructions and at least

0.5 metres away from other antennas.

Ensure that they cannot be snagged by mooring warps or running

rigging or engulfed by green water.

Antennas should always be mounted vertically.

Installation of a NAVTEX Antenna

The NAVTEX antenna should be mounted vertically, in an elevated

position. Metal, rigging or other antennas must not be located in the ‘NO

GO cone’ surrounding the upper part.

Keep this area clear

Installation procedure: NAV-ANT/w & NAV-ACTIVE, NAV-

CABLE, NAV-CLAMP/a

Start the antenna cable installation from the ICS NAV5plus (lower) end first.

Where the cable passes through bulkheads or decks, waterproof deck

glands should be installed. Securely fasten the cable against vibration using

plastic cable tie wraps.

NAV-CABLE assembly detail

ICS NAV5plus connection

If required, the NAV-CABLE may be extended with 50 ohm coaxial cable

and connectors. The maximum cable length should not exceed 100m.

Ensure that any cable joints are well secured and waterproofed using self-

amalgamating (rubber) tape.

Active Antenna Installation

McMurdo recommend the NAV-ACTIVE 905.05, an active NAVTEX

antenna with PL socket and 1 inch nut fixing.

The ICS NAV5plus provides a regulated 9 V DC 100 mA output to provide

power for an active antenna. Check that your active antenna is compatible

with this power output. If it is not, then an external power supply interface

will be required. Your antenna supplier should be able to provide this.

If you use an external power supply interface then you must connect the RF

output from the interface to the ICS NAV5plus passive antenna input rather

than the active antenna input.

Securely mount the active antenna to a vertical surface or pole, route the

connecting cable though to the ICS NAV5plus using cable glands to pass

though bulkheads as required.

Connect the active antenna output coaxial cable centre core to Antenna

Connector Terminal 1 and the coaxial screen to Terminal 2.

Passive Antenna Installation

Connect the passive antenna output coaxial cable centre core to Antenna

Connector Terminal 6 and the coaxial screen to Terminal 5

Dual Antenna Installation

A dual antenna installation is NOT possible.

NAVTEX AC Power Supply Unit

Consult the installation instructions packed with the power supply.

An additional ground wire may be connected between the green safety

earth wire on the ICS NAV5plus and the ground terminal on the NAVTEX

Power Supply Unit.

SELF TEST

If you have any doubts as to whether the ICS NAV5plus is working correctly

run the self-test.

‘Self Test’ is selected by holding down the feed button while the ICS

NAV5plus is switched on using the power button.

The ICS NAV5plus will print out the test results and then start normal

operation.

If all tests are passed, a printout will appear as shown:

The RXA-I and RXA-Q lines test the two signal paths in the 518 kHz radio

receiver.

The RXB-I and RXB-Q lines test the two signal paths in the 490 kHz radio

receiver.

The PAPER SENSOR tests whether the unit can recognise the presence of

paper in the roll holder.

The HEAD RESISTANCE letter is for service use only, and should match

the head resistance mark on the printer assembly.

This self-test is carried out automatically each time the unit is switched on,

but the results are not reported unless a fault is detected.

Three beeps mark the progress of this test.

As an additional receiver confidence test, the ICS NAV5plus also flashes

two small squares at the right hand side of the display whenever it is

receiving a NAVTEX signal, even if the message is not selected for printing.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Check that :-

• The antenna is mounted vertically, and is sited clear of obstructions

• The vessel is operating within the coverage area of a NAVTEX

transmitter

• The NAVTEX station(s) selected are transmitting, two small squares at

the right hand side of the ICS NAV5plus display show whenever a

NAVTEX signal is received

• The required NAVTEX station and message categories have not been

de-selected in the ICS NAV5plus set-up menu

Antenna

Check that the antenna is clear of obstructions and has not suffered

external damage. Check that the antenna cable is not damaged.

Receiver

Perform a system self test — refer to Self Test section for details.

• At scheduled transmission time, look for two small squares at the right

hand side of the ICS NAV5plus display; these flash whenever a

NAVTEX signal is received.

Printer

If there is no sign of life from the printer after power up and a printer fault is

shown on the LCD display, check that there is no paper jammed in the

printer.

• If the printer operates but nothing is printed, check that the paper roll is

of a type recommended by ICS and that the ‘heat sensitive side’ of the

paper is uppermost (as that paper exits the door, test with a ‘hot’ item).

Paper Out

• In the case of a “Paper Out” alarm, replace the paper roll

• If the paper has not run out, check that the paper roll is fitted correctly

Default Reset

Use the Default Reset to reset the ICS NAV5plus to the factory default

settings. This sets all NAVTEX stations and message categories to on.

• Turn the unit off

• Hold down the alarm silence button while pushing the

power button

• The ICS NAV5plus will sound a bleep, and load default settings

Self Test

Run the ICS NAV5plus self test, refer to ‘self test’ section for details.

Should any item on the self test fail, turn the ICS NAV5plus off and on again

and repeat the system self test. Should any item on the self test list fail a

second time, contact your supplier for advice or call the McMurdo Technical

Help Line for assistance.

Printer Jam

Mishandling of the paper when installing a new paper roll can sometimes

cause the printer to jam.

If the moving printer head is allowed to catch the edge of the paper roll the

printer mechanism may stall. This will result in a ‘printer fault’ being

reported by the unit (alarm : ‘bleep-bleep’, ‘bleep-bleep’, ‘bleep-bleep’).

This condition may be avoided by first ensuring that the new paper roll has

a flat, cleanly cut edge.

• Consult the ‘Paper Loading’ instructions for details of the paper load

procedure

Should a paper jam occur, do not pull on the paper or try to force the printer

head sideways as such action may cause damage to the printer and may

invalidate your warranty.

Clearing a Paper Jam

As the procedure to clear a ‘stalled printer’ involves disassembly of the

main unit it is recommended that this should only be attempted by

authorised service personnel.

In the first instance :

Contact the dealer who supplied your unit for further instructions.

If you are still not satisfied contact the McMurdo Electronics Technical

Helpline for assistance.
