OPERATION MANUAL
HMT-E1000
You should follow the description below to use this equipment safely and efficiently. If
you should not, it might cause a serious result to affect health and death.
ECDIS is useful equipment for navigation but it might not work well because of a
failure of sensor and connected equipment or receiving wrong ship information. This
should be used with adequate caution in order not to cause serious marine distress such
as ship collision, grounding and etc.
You had better not depend only on the information got from ECDIS, because some
error is included in the signals from high-performance sensors (GPS, gyrocompass,
speed log, radar, AIS transponder and etc.) which are connected with ECDIS and the
electronic charts might not be updated. Therefore during navigation you should judge
based on the information from the lookout and other navigators as well as that from
ECDIS.
It is responsible for users to have technical skill about navigation and pay attention to
the safe navigation. ECDIS does not exempt users from their responsibilities at all.
You should prepare paper charts which cover the navigating sea area onboard if backup
ECDIS is not equipped or you do not have ENC which covers the whole area.
Only ENC (Electronic Navigational Chart) issued by the hydrographic office in each
country is an official chart for ECDIS.
ECDIS always gets information from such EPFS (Electronic Position Fixing System)
sensors as GPS and etc., to know the own ship position and SOG (Speed Over
Ground),and also all position information of electronic chart, tracked targets, AIS
targets, radar image, route data created by a user and etc., is based on WGS-84. Be sure
to set GPS datum for WGS-84 and never change it, otherwise all of the position
information might be shown incorrectly.
The information transmitted from AIS transponder is not always correct. For instance,
when a ship is in port and the only power switch of the AIS transponder is turned on
with the power switches of all sensors onboard tuned off, false information of latitude,
longitude, heading, speed and etc., may transmit to ECDIS. In this case, [N/A] is shown
on the ECDIS screen, but this is not an error.
In using ECDIS, read this book carefully and persons who are familiar with this ECDIS
should operate.

The direction from which the wind blows across the earths surface, with respect to
north, and the speed of the wind.
When the reference field is set to R (Relative), data is provided giving the wind angle in
relation to the vessel's bow/center line and the wind speed, both relative to the (moving)
vessel. Also called apparent wind, this is the wind speed as felt when standing on the
(moving) ship.
Example 1: If the vessel is heading west at 7 knots and the wind is from the east at 10
knots the relative wind is 3 knots at 180. In this same example the theoretical wind is
10 knots at 180 (if the boat suddenly stops the wind will be at the full 10 knots and
come from the stern of the vessel 180 from the bow).
Example 2: If the vessel is heading west at 5 knots and the wind is from the southeast at
7.07 knots the relative wind is 5 knots at 270. In this same example the theoretical
wind is 7.07 knots at 225 (if the boat suddenly stops the wind will be at the full 7.07
knots and come from the port-quarter of the vessel 225 from the bow).
