3ERVICE The GN30 MKII is sealed and does not contain any user serv-
iceable parts. Opening of the unit will void its warranty. Touching
electrical parts inside may cause bodily harm or death. If the unit is not
working properly, please check section 7.7 Troubleshooting. If your
GN30 MKII requires servicing or repair, cal your authorized SIMRAD
dealer.
0OWER SOURCE FUSE AND POWER CABLE Check that the DC power sup-
plied to the unit is within the range of 10 to 32 volts. Note that the ap-
ropriate fuse must be employed (see the fuse rating in section 7.4
Electrical connections. Ensure that the power cord is firmly attached.

You can quickly make a route by plotting the cursor’s
position, one after another i.e. place the cursor on the
first position of the route you wish to make and press
[PLOT]. Move the cursor to the next position and press
[PLOT]. Continue in this manner till the route is com-
plete. In case you make a wrong plot, press [CLR] to
erase the last plotted position. Save the route with

After connecting the cable to the power source, push the plug as far as it
will go into the two pin receptacle marked ’PWR’ on the rear of the cabi-
net and turn the plug’s coupling ring clockwise until it makes a click.
The use of longer cable runs, while possible, always increases the likeli-
hood of increased interference and decreased performance. Care must be
taken when increasing the cable lengths to ensure that proper, adequate
and consistent shielding is maintained, that cable of adequate cross sec-
tion is used, and that all connections are properly made and protected
from the effects of the marine environment.
&USE
Warning! A fuse should always be installed to protect the unit.
Using a fuse which is not specified for your equipment can cause it to
blow the instant the GN30 MKII has been switched on or it will not pro-
tect the equipment as intended.

For all fault finding, first check that the supply voltage is between 10 - 32 Vdc.

Log speed cali- The unit is preset to receive 19000 pulses per nautical
bration mile from the log transducer (paddle wheel). However,
the figure might have to be changed to compensate for
various transducers and actual waterflow passing the
transducer. The correct pulse rate is calculated by:
19000 x indicated speed (eg. 4 kn) = 15.200 pulses/nm
actual speed (GPS) (eg. 5 kn)
Measurement units:
nm NAUTICAL MILE 1 nm is 1,852 metres
kn KNOTS nautical mile per hour
km KILOMETER 1 km is 1,000 metres
kh kilometer per hour
mi STATUTE MILE 1 mile is 1,609 metres
mh mile per hour

Restart to Will automatically re-calculate the navigation data
approaching point from current position to approaching point.
Route point no. When waypoints are inserted as part of a route, they
will also be given a route point number eg. WP8 could
be the third point in a route ie. route point number 3.
