Introduction
The E5024 ECDIS system

The E5024 is a type approved Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), and
conforms to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requirements for vessels that are
subject to SOLAS regulations.
The E5024 displays the vessel position, speed and course in real time in the chart, based on
information received from navigational sensors. The vessel’s symbol is displayed with actual
heading, and speed vectors may also be indicated. Chart information critical to safe
navigation defined by IMO will always appear on the display, while other chart information
may be switched off.
Based on speed and course information, the system generates danger and grounding alarms,
independent of mode of operation.
The system includes route planning, and routes are planned independent of the actual vessel
position. The routes are checked for dangerous position of waypoints and legs as the route is
planned. The routes are stored and may be recalled whenever necessary. The system has no
limitations to the number of waypoints in a route.
Both hardware and software in the E5024 system are ECDIS type approved. The type
approval certificates are available from the product site on pro.simrad-yachting.com.
ECDIS requirement
According to the SOLAS convention 3 key components must be fulfilled if a vessel is to satisfy
the chart carriage requirements in SOLAS by electronic means:
• The ECDIS must conform to the International Maritime Organization (IMO). To meet these
requirements the system must be type approved
• The ECDIS system must have a back-up arrangement. This could be either a folio of paper
charts or other non-paper, back-up solution decided by the relevant maritime administration.
This could e.g. be Simrad’s type approved duplex ECDIS system (PLECDIS TM)
• The charts used on the ECDIS system must be Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs) following
standard set by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO)
Warning: An ECDIS system is allowed to operate optionally by using non-

approved charts. The operation is however limited to only be used for those
areas where approved charts not are available. When non-approved charts
are used the ECDIS must be used together with an appropriate folio of up-to
date paper charts!
When not using an official chart, this will be indicated with a message.
System components
The E5000 Processor
The E5000 Processor includes two independent CPUs, each with their own inputs and
outputs.
CPU1 is used for the ECDIS system. As an option, CPU2 can be used as part of an NSO MFD
(Multi-function Display).
The E5000 Processor is fitted with a MicroSD card slot. Both CPU1 and CPU2 may use the SD
card slot. If an SD card with charts (Navionics) is inserted into the slot, then the NSO (CPU2)
will automatically use the charts.
Two or more E5000 Processors can be connected through Ethernet to form a PLECDISTM
(Paperless ECDIS) system.

Tools for safe navigation
Man Over Board

If an emergency situation should occur, you can save a Man Overboard (MOB) waypoint at
the vessel’s current position by selecting the MOB shortcut button.
Bearing and Range from the MOB to the vessel’s position are displayed on the chart.
If the cursor is moved to the marker and the left cursor key pressed, the MOB position is
displayed in the Object information dialog.
A MOB cannot be moved. Individual or all MOBs are removed by right-clicking the MOB
button.
Setting a guard zone around the vessel

The grounding check option is used to warn the user about dangerous and caution objects
inside a specified zone ahead or around your vessel.
If an object is within the guard zone, a navigational caution is displayed in the Alert panel.
This caution will remain in the Alert panel as long as the condition remains.
The following values should be defined:

• the depth under keel required to pass over an underwater object
• the height required for your vessel to pass under a crossing overhead object
• the prediction time or safety distance
• the guard zone shape
You can select to display the guard zone on the chart.

Guard zone: Sector Guard zone: Cardioid
Ú Note: If the guard zone is displayed on the chart, dangerous objects inside the zone are
indicated as red, and caution objects indicated as yellow. There is no indication of dangerous
objects within the guard zone if the guard zone is not displayed on the chart.
Displaying information about navigational cautions

Navigational cautions are displayed in the Alerts panel.
You display details about a caution by right-clicking Navigational caution.
Showing distance lines and zone rings

The system includes two options for indicating a distance from your vessel to other chart
objects:
• Parallel index lines
• Range rings
Ú Note: Index lines and range rings do not activate any alarms or warnings.
Tools for safe navigation | E5024 ECDIS OpMan 31

Parallel index lines
One or two index lines can be positioned on the chart. A single Index line is used to visualize
a distance to the vessel or to land objects, either parallel to or in front of the vessel. Two
index lines can be used to indicate a corridor - typically used to visualize an area you want to
maneuver within.
The bearing of an index line is measured from the true north direction. To draw a line parallel
to the vessel the bearing must be set equal to the vessel's true heading. To draw a bearing
line on the opposite side of the vessel the bearing must be offset with 180°.
Ú Note: The bearing of parallel index lines do not follow the vessel's heading!
The distance to an index line is measured along the perpendicular from the own vessel's
Common Reference Point (CPR) to the index line.
Single Index line - perpendicular to vessel's heading Index lines parallel to vessel heading
Range rings
The range rings are used to indicate up to ten circular distances to your vessel. The rings are
fixed relative to the vessel and will move with the vessel.
You define the distance from the vessel to the first range ring and the steps between the
rings.
Measuring distance and bearing

The cursor panel shows the cursor's coordinates, range and bearing from the vessel to the
cursor. You can therefore use the cursor to measure a distance from your vessel to any chart
object.
You can also use Electronic Bearing Lines (EBL) and Variable Ranger Marker (VRM) feature to
measure distance and bearing.
1. Select the Measure shortcut button to activate the EBL/VRM feature

- A circle is drawn with the center at the vessel position
- An information panel in the display's lower right corner shows range and true bearing
from the circle center to cursor position. The first line shows range and bearing along
the great circle line, the second line shows range and bearing along the rhumb line

2. Move the cursor to the object to which you want to measure range and bearing
3. Move the cursor to an object and press the left cursor button to move the circle center. You
can then move the cursor to measure the distance between the new circle center and
another object in the chart.
4. Re-press the left cursor button to move circle center back to the vessel
You stop the measuring function by re-selecting the Measure shortcut button.
Navigational calculations
Geodesic calculation
This is a tool used for calculating a position based on a known starting position, the bearing
and the distance to the position you want to calculate. You can also do the calculation in
reverse and calculate bearing and distance between two known positions.
You can select whether you want to use rhumb line or great circle calculation.
Great circle approximation

The system can calculate waypoints between two coordinates using great circle
computation.
1. Enter the latitude and longitude for start and end point for the route
2. Select method for positioning the waypoints, either with equal distance or equal arc
3. Select distance between the waypoints
4. Select Calculate to display the list of the calculated waypoints
Datum transformation
This function is used for converting position information from the active dataset format to a
selected target data format.
Enter latitude and longitude, and select the Forward or Inverse buttons to convert the
position to the selected format.
Manually calculating vessel position

When no GPS is available, the Lines Of Position function (LOP) can be used to calculate your
vessel's position.
The LOPs can be positioned based on known bearing and/or on distance to the selected
objects. The following guidelines apply:
• Two bearing LOPs or 2 distance LOPs will give you an unaccurate position
• Three bearing LOPs give an accurate position if the length of the line from the objects to the
crossing point is less than 0.5 NM
• A combination of 1 bearing LOP and 1 distance LOP gives an accurate position

The system will automatically calculate an estimated position based on the plotted LOP’s.
You can use this information to update the own ship position during dead reckoning
operation.
In the example and illustrations below two bearing LOPs are used to calculate the position.
1. Select Manual observation from the Tools menu to display the manual observation menu
2. Select the empty Latitude field in the Observation points table
3. - The object is labelled with P1 and an observation object symbol, and the object's
coordinates are listed in the Observation points table
Move the cursor to the first observation point in the chart and press the left cursor button
- A second empty row is added to the Observation points table
4. Double-click any of the observation point fields if you want to manually edit the position
5. Select the identification of the equipment used to measure bearing to the observation
point, and enter the bearing to the observation point
- The first bearing LOP is drawn in the chart based on the input values
6. Repeat step 2, 3, 4 and 5 to position the second observation point (P2)

- The second LOP is drawn in the chart based on the input values
- Previously taken measurements are automatically corrected according to the distance
the own ship traveled between the measurements
7. Select the Calculate button to confirm the observation points' position and measurement
- The calculated position is displayed in the upper right part of the manual observation
menu, and the estimated position (EP) is indicated in the chart

8. Select the Accept button to use the calculated position for dead reckoning
- The Dead reckoning values are updated
- The labelled position in the chart is changed from EP to DR
9. Select Enable correction if you want to manually update the dead reckoning position
The vessel's icon is moved to the calculated dead reckoning position.

PLECDIS systems
A Simrad PLECDISTM system consists of two identical type approved E5024 ECDIS systems via
the Ethernet ports on the E5000 processor. When type approved charts are used in the
system, a PLECDIS system allows the ship to operate without paper charts onboard.
A PLECDIS system can be set up to automatically synchronize chart database, mariner
objects, routes, permits and configuration between all connected E5000 processors. The
backup system ensures that a system failure does not result in a critical situation, and
provides safe navigation for the remaining part of the voyage in case of failure in the primary
ECDIS system.
Defining main and backup ECDIS systems

The E5024 main and back-up systems are recognized by the systems' name and IP address.
The main system has to be labeled ECDIS 1. This is the default settings for all E5024 systems
when delivered from factory. The second system can have any number to identify it as
backup system.
You change the name of the system from the System Information dialog.
PLECDIS systems | E5024 ECDIS OpMan 57

Maintenance
Maintenance philosophy
All units in the E5024 system are “repair by replacement” units, and the operator is therefore
required to perform only a very limited amount of preventive maintenance.
Checking the connectors

The connectors should be checked by visual inspection only.
Push the connector plugs into the connector. If the connector plugs are equipped with a
lock, ensure that it is in the correct position.
Verifying the display color

The E5024 includes a color test area to enable the user to detect the stage at which the
display can no longer be used to discriminate important features by color.
1. Open the Chart library panel
2. Open the chart catalog for the Chart1 database
3. Select the Display Object icon for the AA5C1WOO dataset
- The display moves and scales the chart to 1:14 000. This scale should not be changed
4. Verify that the color for the diagonal lines can be clearly distinguished from the background.
If not, the monitor has to be sent to Simrad for recalibration
5. Return to the Chart library panel and select your preferred chart database to go back to
normal operation

Backup and restore of system data
The E5024 includes a backup and restore function, making it possible to back-up and restore
local system data.
Ú Note: This is not a backup of the full system image, merely the configuration and settings.
For route back-up, each route has to be exported to external storage or another ECDIS.
It is recommended to have backup routines that are carried out regularly.
Ú Note: It is strongly recommended to make a complete system backup when the system is
installed and configured.
Backup and restore are initiated from the System Backup/Restore configuration dialog.
Select Backup to automatically save your system data to an external memory device located
in the USB reader or in the SD-card reader on the E5000 unit.
The files are restored from the memory device by selecting the Restore option.
Ú Note: For back-up and synchronization between multiple ECDIS systems, refer to "Multiple
E5024 systems" on page 57.
Software upgrades
Software version, the SDK version and the Presentation library version are listed in the System
Information dialog.
The latest software is available for download from our website, pro.simrad-yachting.com.
Detailed instructions for how to install the software are included with the upgrade files.

System messages
The ECDIS message system

The E5024 system will continuously check for danger situations and system faults while the
system is running.
There are 3 types of messages displayed in the Alerts panel:
• Alarms: This is the system's highest priority alert, activated when situation occurs that might
result in collision with other vessels, when you enter shallow water area, or for conditions
that critically effect the capability or performance of the system. You must critically examine
all alarm messages to determine their cause and effect.
Alarms are followed by an acoustic alarms. The alarm icon is flashing until the alarm is
acknowledged.
• Warnings: This is alerts of lower priority, announcing conditions that could result in
unwanted system response or eventual failure if no action is taken
• Navigational cautions: Information about danger and caution objects within the guard
zone defined for your vessel. See "Setting a guard zone around the vessel" on page 30.
Alert notifications
When an alert is triggered, the alert icon appears in the alert panel. The alerts are also added
to the Alarms list, displayed from the main menu.
Alarms trigger an audible signal unless the sound is turned off in the System Settings dialog.
Alarms and Warnings have different states:
• Active - not acknowledged
• Active - acknowledged
• Rectified - not acknowledged
When a rectified alert is acknowledged it will disappear from the alerts panel and from the
Alarms list.
Cautions are not acknowledged, and they disappear from the system when they are no
longer present. Cautions have therefore only an active state.
The table below shows alert icon and behavior depending on if the alert is active,
acknowledged or rectified.

Acknowledging alerts
You acknowledge an alarm or a warning by right-clicking the relevant alert in the Alert panel.
If several alerts are active they must be acknowledged separately in the Alert panel. All un-
acknowledged alerts can be acknowledged at the same time from the Alarms list. Refer
"Alarms list" on page 63.
When an Alarm or Warning is acknowledged, the alert icon stops flashing. For alarms the
sound is also muted.
All Alarms remain in the Alerts panel and in the Alarms list until the reason for the alarm is
removed.
Warnings are removed from the alert panel when they are acknowledged.
Indications
Indication messages inform you of conditions that are noteworthy, but that have no serious
effect on the performance of the system. No sound is triggered for indications.
All indication messages are displayed in the Indications panel. They will remain in the panel
as long as the condition remains.
Power failure alarm

By a power faulire an acoustic alarm will be activated and the visual alarm on the E0102
Alarm panel will be lit.
The power failure alarm is muted by pressing the Alarm reset key on the E0102 Alarm panel.
The visual alarm in the Alarm reset key will remain lit as long as the alarm condition is
present.
If not muted, the sound and the light indication will remain until the ECDIS application is
restored to normal operation..
The Alarms list

You display a list of all active alarms and warnings by right-clicking an alarm or warning icon
in the Alert panel. You can also display the alarm list from the menu.
You can list all active alerts, or you can list them by group selected from the drop-down list.
From the Alarms list you can acknowledge alerts individually or all at the same time.

Fault finding
If an error situation has occurred, the fault is normally identified from the symptoms
observed. It is therefore important to record all these observations to help the maintenance
person or service engineer. All error messages shown on the screen should be logged for this
purpose. If you are not able to correct the error situation yourself, you should contact your
nearest Simrad service office for advice or to request service on board.
Fault identification
The fault-finding table below assumes that the problem is caused by the units included in
the E5024 or the connected sensors, and that no other external factors are involved.
