A Word to GP-150 Owners

Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO GP-150 GPS Navigator. We are confident you will see why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and reliability.

For over 50 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for innovative and dependable marine electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our extensive global network of agents and dealers.

Your navigator is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless operated and maintained properly. Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for operation and maintenance.

We would appreciate hearing from you, the end-user, about whether we are achieving our purposes.

Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment.

Features

The GP-150 GPS Navigator is a totally integrated GPS receiver and video plotter consisting of a display unit and an antenna unit. The high sensitivity receiver tracks up to 12 satellites simultaneously. An 8-state Kalman filter ensure optimum accuracy in determination of vessel position, course and speed.

In most cases the operator needs to do is to turn on the power to find position.

• Storage for 999 waypoints and 30 routes

• Alarms: Waypoint Arrival, Anchor Watch,

Cross-track Error, Ship's Speed, Water Temperature, Depth and Trip

• Man overboard feature records latitude and longitude coordinates at time of man overboard and provides continuous updates of range and bearing to that point.

• DGPS capability - with built-in DGPS beacon kit accepts DGPS correction data from external DGPS beacon receiver

• Menu-driven operation

• Bright 122 x 92 mm LCD with temperature

compensated tone and brilliance adjustment

• Power consumption is a low 10 W.

• Provision for connection of autopilot

(option) - steering data output to autopilot

• Digital display of water temperature and depth with connection of echo sounder (with NMEA input)

• Memory stores 2,000 points of track and marks.

• "Highway" display provides perspective view.

• Position may be shown in latitude and longitude or LOP (Loran or Decca).

• Four connectors for optional equipment two IEC 61162-1/NMEA 0183 I/O, one IEC 61162-1/NMEA 0183 (or log) output and one DGPS for personal computer I/O

1. OPERATION

1.2 Turning On and Off the Power

The GP-150 takes about 90 seconds to find position when turned on for the very first time. Thereafter it takes about 12 seconds to find position each time the power is turned on.

Turning on the power

Press the POWER key.

The unit tests the PROGRAM MEMORY, SRAM and battery for proper operation and shows the results on the display. If equipped with the internal beacon receiver, "BEACON RCVR INSTALLED" appears at the bottom of the display. The unit starts up with the last used display mode.

PROGRAM MEMORY = OK SRAM = OK Internal Battery = OK

When turning on the power the following occurs:

12 seconds after turning on the power, accurate position (in latitude and longitude) appears on the display.

If position could not be found, "NO FIX" appears at the GPS receiving condition window. When PDOP (Position Dilution Of Precision) value exceeds 6 in the 3D mode or HDOP (Horizontal Dilution Of Precision) value exceeds 4 in the 2D mode, "DOP" appears to indicate abnormal fixing and the position indication could not be updated.

When the satellite signal is being received normally, one of the indications shown in Table 1-1 appears depending on equipment setting and GPS receiver state.

2.9 Selecting Track Plotting Interval

The plotting interval determines both how the track will be reconstructed on the display and track storage time. A shorter interval provides more accurate reconstruction of track line, however total storage time is reduced. The plotting interval can be selected by time or distance. Plotting by distance offers the advantage that the track is not stored when the vessel is anchored.

4.1 Registering Waypoints

In navigation terminology a waypoint is a particular location on a voyage whether it be a starting, intermediate or destination waypoint.

The GP-150 can store 999 waypoints, numbered from 001-999. Waypoints can be registered four ways:

• by cursor

• by MOB position or event position

• at own ship's position

• by range and bearing from position, and

• through the waypoint list.

Registering waypoints by the cursor

3) Press the cursor pad to place the cursor on the location desired for the waypoint.

4) Press the NU/CU ENT key.

A window similar to the one shown in Figure 4-3 appears. The waypoint's position and date and time registered appear on the first and second lines. Waypoints are automatically given the youngest empty waypoint number and this number appears on the third line. You may, however, assign a different number. If the waypoint shares the same position with a mark, the mark's position and date and time entered are registered as waypoint data.

If the waypoint memory is full, the waypoint number line in the window is blank. In this case waypoints cannot be entered unless a waypoint is written over or deleted.

To assign waypoint number, go to step 5. If you do not want to change the waypoint number, go to step 6 to select mark shape and enter comment.

4.4 Registering Routes

Often a trip from one place to another involves several course changes, requiring a series of route points which you navigate to, one after another. The sequence of waypoints leading to the ultimate destination is called a route. The GP-150 can automatically advance to the next waypoint on a route, so you do not have to change the destination waypoint repeatedly. The GP-150 can store 30 routes and each route may contain up to 30 waypoints. Routes can be registered while in the Plotter 1 or Plotter 2 display mode.

Calculation Procedure

Bearing Between Two Points

Selecting Course Sailing Method

The range and bearing to a destination are calculated by two ways: Great Circle or Rhumb Line. However, cross track error is calculated by rhumb line only.

Great Circle: The great circle courseline is

the shortest course between two points on the surface of the earth. (Imagine stretching a piece of yarn between two points on the earth.) However, this course requires frequent change of heading to follow course faithfully.

Rhumb Line: The rhumb line courseline is

the straight line drawn between two points on a nautical chart. This course does not require frequent changes of heading however it is not the shortest since it follows the earth's curvature.

8.1 GPS Menu

Menu description

Fix mode

Two position fixing modes are available: 2D and 2/3D. The 2D mode provides two dimensional position fixes (latitude and longitude only) and is used when three satellites are in line of sight of the GPS receiver. The 2/3D mode switches between two and three dimension position fixing automatically depending on how many satellites (three or four) are in light of sight of the GPS receiver.

ANT Height

Enter the height of the antenna unit above sea surface (000-999 ft, 000-304 m). The default setting is 16 ft.

Disable satellite

Every GPS satellite is broadcasting abnormal satellite number(s) in the Almanac. Using this information, the GPS receiver automatically eliminates any malfunctioning satellite from the GPS satellite schedule. However, the Almanac sometimes may not contain this information. You can disable an inoperative satellite manually on the GPS SETUP menu.

GPS smoothing, position

When the DOP or receiving condition is unfavorable, the GPS fix may change greatly, even if the vessel is dead in water. This change can be reduced by smoothing the raw GPS fixes. A setting between 0 and 9 is available. The higher the setting the more smoothed the raw data, however too high a setting slows response time to change in latitude and longitude. This is especially

During position fixing, ship’s velocity (speed and course) is directly measured by receiving GPS satellite signals. The raw velocity data may change randomly depending on receiving conditions and other factors. You can reduce this random variation by increasing the smoothing. Like with latitude and longitude smoothing, the higher the speed and course smoothing the more smoothed the raw data. If the setting is too high, however, the response to speed and course change slows. For no smoothing, enter "0." "5" is suitable for most conditions.

Speed average

Calculation of ETA and TTG, etc. is based on average ship’s speed over a given period. The default setting is one minute.

RAIM function/RAIM accuracy

RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) is a diagnostic function which tests the accuracy of the GPS signal. To use the RAIM function, enter the range (from own ship in meters) for which you want to know position confidence, on the GPS Setup 2/2 menu. The receiver estimates position confidence using range value and detected satellite error, and displays (provided the RAIM function is active) the results as one of three levels of position confidence, at the top right-hand corner of the screen. The three levels are as follows:

SAFE: GPS signal is normal. The positioning

accuracy satisfies the setting value.

CAUTION: RAIM accuracy cannot be

calculated. (Signals from more than five GPS satellites are necessary.) The positioning accuracy does not satisfy the setting value.

UNSAFE: GPS signal is abnormal, therefore

the positioning accuracy is not reliable. Note that the GP-150 does not exclude abnormal signals automatically.

Geodetic datum

Selecting fix mode

Select the geodetic chart system you are using. WGS-84 (standard GPS chart system) and NAD 27 can be directly selected. For other charts, select "OTHER" and enter chart number referring to the geodetic chart list in the Appendix.

To output position data to ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System), turn on the power while holding down the [0] key. This disables access to the Geodetic Datum menu. Then, "Cannot be changed" is shown in the Geodetic Datum menu as in Figure 8-2 on the next page. To stop outputting position data to ECDIS, turn on the power while holding down the [0] key.

Position offset

You may apply an offset to position generated by the internal GPS receiver, to compensate for difference between GPS position and chart position.

Time difference

The GPS system uses UTC time. If you would rather use local time, enter the difference in hours between local time and UTC. Use the numeric keys for times later or earlier than UTC, respectively.

Position

When executing cold start there is no satellite information in the unit’s memory, thus it may take some time to find position. To fix position faster, enter estimated position.

Besides its fundamental function of displaying position, the GP-150 can also output various data to external equipment. Before outputting data to external equipment, first determine what data the external equipment requires. Output only necessary data to ensure data will be output correctly.

All data transmitted by marine electronics equipment are prefixed with a two character code called a talker. The same talker must be shared by the transmitting and receiving equipment to transmit and receive data successfully. The GP-150 transmits data using the GP (GPS talker), however it can also transmit using the Loran (LC) or Decca (DE) talker.

Because the GP talker is a relatively new system some early model equipment may not recognize this talker.

PARTS LIST

This equipment contains complex modules in which fault diagnosis and repair down to component level are not practical (IMO A.694(17)/8.3.1). Only some discrete components are used. FURUNO Electric Co., Ltd. believes identifying these components is of no value for shipboard maintenance; therefore, they are not listed in the manual. Major modules can be located on the parts location photos on the next page.
