Circle 50 on Reader Service Card ELECTRONIC CHART / PRECISE INTEGRATED NAVIGATION SYSTEM

ECPINS projects an Anti-Grounding Sector ahead of the ship. When the operator inputs a safe depth, both visual and audible alarms will sound in case of shallow waters, or if "above water" chart features, such as rocks, land, piers, etc. are within the sector.

Chart data can be viewed on multiple non-overlapping windows at different range scales and presentation modes. All vital navigation data are summarized in a NAV display window. The system is easily operated via trackball cursor and built-in keypad.

A 24-hour log is kept showing all vital sensor data.

ECPINS complies with all IMO performance standards for ECDIS. The result of over 10 years of research, ECPINS is used by shipping companies, ferries, and the U.S. & Canadian Coast Guard and Navy.

ECPINS intelligently combines information from a variety of navigational sensors (GPS/DGPS, gyro, log, depth sounder, etc.) and displays "own-ship" position with great clarity on an authorized electronic vector chart. Navigational radar data plus ARPA data from existing bridge radar can be superimposed on the electronic chart display.

ECPINS

The IMO compliant ECPINS (Electronic Chart/Precise

Integrated Navigation System) gives the navigator "own- ship" position twice a second, warns him of dangerous waters ahead and shows continuous information on all fixed and moving radar targets. With ECPINS, he can make the right decisions in stressful situations and navigate safely, particularly in confined waters, in extreme weather and under fog and ice conditions.
