STANDARD HORIZON CP590 (01) PDF Document

Cleaning the screen of your STANDARD HORIZON CP590 is an important operation that must be done carefully. Since the surface is covered by an antireflective coating, follow this procedure:

1. Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the glass. A micro-fiber cloth is recommended.

2. Spray a small amount of ammonia-free cleaner (isopropyl alcohol) onto the cloth. Spraying on the cloth will prevent overspray.

3. Fold the cloth into a triangular shape, moisten the tip, and use your index finger behind a corner to move the cloth across the surface in overlapping side-to-side strokes.

If the cloth is too wet, a noticeable wet film will be left in its path, and you will need to repeat the process. If the cloth is too dry, it won’t glide easily and may damage the surface.

Please observe the following cautions when operating your STANDARD HORIZON CP590:

• The CP590 is designed for maritime use. To avoid water intrusion, ensure the C-MAP BY JEPPESEN C-CARD door is completely closed.

• Extensive exposure to heat may result in damage to the CP590.

• The CP590 contains dangerous high-voltage circuits which only experienced technicians can handle.

• Because the software and applications are frequently updated, the pictures shown in the Owner’s Manual may be slightly different from what you see.

The STANDARD HORIZON CP590 is supplied with hardware for both bracket and flush mounting.

Bracket Mounting:

Before installing, ensure the area where the bracket is mounted is strong enough to support the weight of the CP590, especially while underway. After the location is found, attach the mounting base to the area using the supplied hardware.

Flush Mounting:

The CP590 is supplied with a flush mount template for the cutout hole and screw holes required to install the GPS Chart Plotter. Before drilling holes, make sure there is enough room to mount the CP590 and there are no obstructions.

1. After a location is found, peel the template label from the backing and apply it to the mounting area.

2. Drill a hole in one area of the cutout area that will allow the blade of a jigsaw to be inserted. Insert and cut out the area on the panel using the jigsaw.

3. Next, drill the four holes required to insert the CP590 with the mounting studs.

4. Install the mounting studs on the CP590 and insert it into the mounting hole.

5. Attach the CP590 to the mounting location by attaching the supplied hardware to the mounting studs.

The STANDARD HORIZON CP590 is supplied with an external GPS WAAS antenna with 15m (50ft) of routing cable. This antenna can be mounted on a base, installed on an extension, or flush mounted.

1. Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky and is not located within 3ft of a Radar or other transmitting antennas. Ensure there are no major obstructions or fixtures in the immediate proximity to the antenna.

2. The antenna relies on direct “line of sight” satellite reception. If you are unsure of the chosen location, temporarily mount the antenna in the desired location to verify correct operation.

3. If mounted close to a Radar, after the CP590 has a fix, turn on the Radar to ensure the CP590 holds the fix (use the GPS Status page).

To flush mount the antenna:

1. Remove the threaded base from the antenna dome.

2. A flush mount template for the antenna is included to ease installation. Apply the mount template sticker to the area that was verified for GPS reception.

3. Then, drill out the 0.78” (20mm) and 0.13” (3.2mm) holes, and remove the template.

4. Insert the cable into the 0.78” (20mm) hole and route it to the CP590.

5. Apply a small amount or RTV to the underside of the antenna.

6. Place the antenna and then screw it into place using the screws.

The wire color descriptions are as follows:

Here are some common troubleshooting steps for the STANDARD HORIZON CP590:

• The CP590 does not turn On: The voltage or polarity may not be correct. Make sure that the correct voltage (10-35 volt dc) is present and that the polarity is correct.

• The CP590 does not get a GPS fix: The external WAAS GPS Antenna may not be in an open sky position, or the cable may not be properly connected. Ensure no metal obstacles are shielding the antenna. If the problem persists after 15 minutes, turn the unit Off and On again.

• The CP590 does not turn Off: The CP590 may be in an unpredictable state. If pressing [PWR] for at least 3 seconds does not turn it Off, turn Off the voltage source.

• The screen becomes very dark after long exposure to direct sunlight: The internal temperature is very high. Protect the CP590 from direct sunlight.

• The CP590 does not respond to any command: The unit may be in an unpredictable state. Try turning it Off, and then On. If the problem persists, reset the RAM (see Technical Tests) or remove power from the battery.

• After storing over the winter, it takes a long time to receive a fix: This is usually caused by the internal rechargeable memory battery becoming low, which could corrupt the Internal RAM. To solve this, perform a RAM Clear (refer to Technical Tests). Note that a RAM Clear will erase all Marks, Routes, and tracks.

If you are having problems with your STANDARD HORIZON CP590, the extended auto-test can help determine the problem.

1. Make sure the CP590 is turned Off.

2. While pressing and holding [CLR], turn the CP590 On. A SYSTEM TEST menu will appear on the display.

3. Use the ShuttlePoint knob to select the desired test and press [ENT].

Available tests include:

• RAM Menu (reset): This test verifies memory integrity and allows you to perform a RAM Clear. A RAM Clear will erase all Marks, Routes, stored Track plots, and Destinations, and return all selections to their original default values. To confirm the RAM clear, press [ENT] again.

• DIM Menu: Allows you to select the desired value for brightness and keypad light.

• Cartridges (used by technicians): Tests the Internal Data Base, C-CARD, and C-CARD Connector.

• Serial Ports (used by technicians): Helps diagnose problems with receiving data from external instruments. It allows you to change communication parameters and display incoming data.

To exit from any submenu, press [CLR]. To exit from the System Test, turn Off the CP590.
