WARNING!

USE THIS GPS RECEIVER ONLY AS AN AID TO NAVIGATION.

A

CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO

OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION.

CAUTION

This

GPS receiver,

(like

all GPS

navigation equipment)

will show the

shortest,

most direct

path

to a

waypoint.

It

provides navigation

data to the

waypoint regardless

of obstructions.

Therefore,

the

prudent navigatorwill

not

only

take

advantage

of all available

navigation

tools when

travelling

to

a

waypoint,

but will also

visually

check to make certain a

clear,

safe

path

to the

waypoint

is

always

available.

NOTICE!

As of this

writing,

the

Department

of Defense

(DOD)

has not declared the

GPS

navigation system

as

operational.

The

system

is still

in

a

testing

phase.

Satellites can be turned off or

accuracy

can be

degraded

at

will

by

the

system operators.

Remember that the

UitraNavGPS,

or

any

GPS

receiver is

only

as accurate as the

system

it's

using.

Features and

specifications

INTRODUCTION

The

UltraNavGPS

represents

one of the best values

in

sportlishing

sonar

today.

It rivals other sonar units

costing

much more in features and

performance.

With its

menus,

the UltraNavGPS offers

easy-to-use

operation

atthetouch of a button. The screen shows the underwaterworld

with

high

resolution and detail. The UltraNavGPS also

displays digital

depth,

boat

speed,

surface water

temperature,

and distance travelled

(distance

log)

if

the

optional

speed/temperature

sensor

(model

ST-T)

is

attached.

Although

the UltraNavGPS has

many

features and

functions,

the "soft

key"

menu

system

makes it

easy

to use. Above

all,

don't be afraid to

try

different features and

functions on the unit. You can't

hurt it

by pressing

buttons!

Read this manual and take it with

you

the

first few times

you

use

your

unit.

It makes a

great

reference should

you

need it. The more

you

know when

you get

to the

water,

the more

your

UItraNavGPS can do for

you!

MOUNTING

Install the UltraNIavGPS in

any

convenient

location,

provided

there is

clearance behind the unit when it is tilted forthe best

viewing angle.

Holes

in

the bracket base allow wood screw

orthrough-bolt mounting.

You

may

need to

place

a

piece

of

plywood

on the back of thin

fiberglass panels

to

secure the

mounting

hardware. Make certain there is

enough

room

behind the unit to attach the

power

and transducer cables.

The smallest hole that will

pass

one

power

ortransducer

plug

is one inch.

Afterthe hole is

drilled,

passthe

transducerconnector

upthroughthe

hole

first,

then

pass

the

power

cable down

through

it.

1

PDF compression, OCR, web-optimization with CVISION's PdfCompressor

NOTES:

After the cables have been

routed,

fill the hole with a

good

marine

sealing

compound.

Offset the bracket to cover the hole. Route the

power

cable

through

the slot and break out one of the other slots

in the bracket for the

transducer cable.

POWER CONNECTIONS

The tJltraNavGPS works from a twelve-volt

battery system only.

For the

best

results,

attach the

power

cable

directlyto

the

battery.

You can attach

the

power

cable to an

accessory

or

power

buss,

however

you may

have

problems

with electrical interference.

Therefore,

it's

safertogo

ahead and

attach the

power

cable

directly

to the

battery.

If the cable is not

long

enough, splice

#18

gauge

wire onto it.Attach the in-line fuse

holderto the

red lead as close to

the

power

source as

possible.

For

example,

if

you

have

to extend the

power

cable

to the

battery

or

power

buss,

attach one

end of the fuse holder

directly

to the

battery

or

power

buss. This will

protect

both

the unit and the

power

cable in the event of a short.

The

powercable

hasthree

wires, red, white,

and black. Red is the

positive

lead,

black is

negative

or

ground.

The

white

wire is used for the NMEA

interface. To usethis

feature,

attach a

shielded,

twisted

paircable

fromthe

autopilot

orother marine

equipment's

NMEA interface tothe white wire on

the UltraNavGPS's

powercable.

Solderthetwisted

pairs ground

wire and

shield wire to the black wire on the UltraNavGPS's

power

cable. Do not

connect the shield wire to the

autopilot.

See

your autopilot's

manual for

more

instructions.

If

you're

not

going

to use this

feature,

cut and

tape

the

white wire to

prevent

shorts.

The UltraNavGPS has reverse

polarity protection.

No

damage

will

occur

to the unit if the

power

wires are hooked

up

backwards.

However,

it won't

work until the

wiring

is connected

properly.

GPS MODULE INSTALLATION

The GPS module can be installed on a flat surface or

(with

the

supplied

adapter)

on a

pole.

Mount the module in an area that

guarantees

a

clear view of the

sky

at all times. In order for the module to receive the

signals

from the

satellites,

it must not be obstructed. An ideal location

is on a cabin

roof,

or deck. The

gunnels

also make a

good

location.

Attaching

the

pole mounting adapter

lets

you

install the module on a

one inch mast. A

high

location is

preferred.

However,

for

lightning

protection,

the antenna shouldn't be

the

highest part

of the boat.

surface,

use

the "cleats"

supplied

with the UltraNavGPS.

(Note:

This is

assuming

you

can "snake" the

module's cable to a location that is accessable.

A

hole

will

still

need to be drilled in the

mounting

surface for the

cable.)

Using

the

Align

the

pole mounting adapter

so the module will face

the bow of the boat. Install and

tighten

the set screw into the

pole

mounting adapter

and

tighten

it

securely.

This should

prevent

the GPS

module fitm

unscrewing

from the

pole.

Place the

gasket

onto the

pole

mounting

adapter.

Now attach the cable to the GPS module and

pass

the cable

through

the

gasket, pole mounting adapter,

and

pole.

Set the

GPS

module on

top

of the

pole mounting adapter

and

align

the four

threaded holes in the module with the holes in the

pole mounting

adapter. Using

the four stainless steel 5 mm screws and lock washers

supplied

MAN OVERBOARD

One of

boating's

most

terrifying

events is

having

a friend or

family

member

fall overboard. This situation can be

deadly

on

any body

of

water,

fresh or

salt. It's

particularly dangerous

at

night

or

if

you're

out

of

sight

of land. Of

course,

the first

thing

to do is remain calm and

try

all standard

safety

measures to

try

and rescue the

person.

If

you

lose

sight

of the

person, you

can use the UltraNavGPSto initiate a search

pattern.

Once

you're

back at the helm after initial rescue efforts have

failed,

press

the UUraNavGPS'

Waypoint

Quicksave

key.

This

instantly

stores

your

present position

in

memory.

Now

press

the

Waypoint

Recall

key.

The

position you just

saved is

displayed

on the screen. Now

press

the

key

adjacenttothe

"ENTER" label. This recalls

thewaypointyou

stored, causing

the UltraNavGPS to show

navigation

information backto that

waypoint.

The

Arrival alarm will sound since

you're

within it's

radius, eitherignore

itor

press

the CLEAR

key

to silence it.

Using

the unit in this manner lets

you

start asearch

pattern

forthevictim

from

a known location.

Switching

to the

plotter

on

the

.05 mile

range

makes it

easier to see

your position

relative to the accident area.

Remember, saving

the victim is the

primary goal. Try

all

options

to rescue

the

person

immediately

afterthe accident

happens. Training

and education

are also

good

accident

preventatives.

The Coast Guard has excellent

safety

courses. Instruct all

members on board

your

boat on

safety procedures

before

leaving

the dock.

Make certain all on board know what to do before

any

emergency

occurs.

When the UltraNavGPS

is first turned

on,

the

display

will

appear

similar

to the one above. The word "AUTO"

in the

upper

center of the

display

indicates the automatic

feature is on. A small note

symbol

next to the

"AUTO" indicator means the alarm

speaker

is enabled. The

digital

bottom

depth

is

displayed

immediately

beneath

the AUTO indicator.
