SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Do not open the equipment

unless totally familiar with

electrical circuits and

service manual.

Only qualified personnel

should work inside the

equipment.

Turn off the power at the switchboard

before beginning the installation.

Fire or electrical shock can result if the

power is left on.

CAUTION

Observe the following compass safe

distances to prevent interference to a

magnetic compass:

Use the power cable supplied with the

installation materials.

Use of other power cables may cause fire

or damage the equipment.

Use the proper fuse.

Use of the wrong fuse may damage the

equipment.

1. INSTALLATION

1.1 Display Unit

The display unit may be mounted on a desktop, overhead or flush mounted in a console.

Mounting considerations

Choose a mounting location for the display unit considering the following points:

• Choose a location where the controls can be easily operated.

• Leave sufficient space around the unit to facilitate checking and maintenance. See the

outline drawing at the back of this manual for recommended maintenance space.

• Locate the unit out of direct sunlight because of heat that can build up inside the cabinet.

• The operating temperature range is -15°C to 55°C (5°F to 131°F).

• Locate the unit well away from exhaust gases and other active gases.

• The location should be well ventilated.

• Choose a location where shock and vibration are minimal.

• Be sure the mounting location is strong enough to support the weight of the unit,

particularly in overhead mounting. If necessary reinforce the mounting location.

• A magnetic compass will be affected if the display unit is placed too close to the compass.

Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent deviation to the compass.

Standard compass, 0.70 m, Steering compass, 0.45 m.

Mounting

Desktop, overhead mounting

1. Fix the hanger to the mounting location with four self-tapping screws (5X20). See the

outline drawing on page D-1 for complete mounting dimensions.

2. Loosely screw the knob bolts into the display unit.

3. Set the display unit to the hanger and tighten the knob bolts.

4. Attach the hard cover to the display unit to protect the LCD.

Flush mounting

If the thickness of the console is 11-14 mm, use the washer

head screws (M4X20) supplied with the installation materials.

If it is thicker than those dimensions, the length of the screws

should be the thickness of the console plus 7.3 mm ±1.5 mm.

The length of the threaded portion to be inserted to the display

unit should not exceed 7 mm (B≤7).

1. Prepare a cutout in the mounting location using the template provided.

2. Fix the display unit with six washer head screws (M4X20) provided.

1.2 Antenna Unit

Refer to the antenna unit outline drawing at the back of this manual for mounting

instructions.

When selecting a mounting location consider the following points:

• Select a location out of the radar and Inmarsat beams. Those beams will obstruct or

prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal.

• There should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to the satellites. Objects

within line-of-sight to a satellite, for example, a mast, may block reception or prolong

acquisition time.

• Locate the antenna well away from the antenna of a VHF radiotelephone to prevent

interference.

• Mount the antenna unit as high as possible. Mounting it this way keeps it free of

interfering objects and water spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite signal if

the water freezes.

Note: If the antenna cable is to be passed through a hole in a bulkhead which is too small

to pass the connector, disassemble the connector with radio pincers and a monkey

wrench. After passing the cable through the hole assemble the connector as below.

2. WIRING

The figure below shows the basic wiring scheme.

Display unit, rear view

Power source

The power source is a 12-24 VDC battery. Be sure the power cable is tightly fastened to the power

source and the polarity (plus and minus) is correct. Connect the white lead to the positive terminal

(+) and the black lead to the negative terminal (-).

Ground

Connect the ground wire to the boat's grounding bus. If the unit is not grounded, noise may result.

If noise is a problem on an FRP vessel, fasten a ground plate of 20 cm x 30 cm to the outside of

the ship's hull and connect the ground wire there.

Use a closed-typelug ( ) for the connection on the displayunit.Do not use an open-type lug

().

Types of antenna cables

If a longer length of antenna cable is required, use the optional antenna cable set, which is avail-

able in 30 and 50 m lengths.
