SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Do not open the cover of the
equipment.
This equipment uses high
voltage electricity which can
shock, burn or cause death.
Only qualified personnel should work inside the
equipment.
Do not dissasemble or modify the
equipment.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury
can result.
Immediately turn off the power at the
ship’s mains switchboard if water or
foreign object falls into the equipment
or the equipment is emitting smoke or
fire.
CAUTION
Use the correct fuse.
Use of the wrong fuse can cause fire or
equipment damage.
No single navigation aid (including this
unit) should ever be relied upon as the
exclusive means for navigating your
vessel.
The navigator is responsible for checking
all aids available to confirm his position.
Electronic aids are intended to assist, not
replace, the navigator.
Use of an autopilot with this unit, to
provide automatic steering to
destination, does not eliminate the
need to maintain a watch.
Always maintains a vigilant watch to
prevent collision or grounding.
Continued use of the equipment can
cause fire, electrical shock or serious
injury.
WARNING Label attached
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, do not

FOREWORD
A Word to GP-150-DUAL Owners
Congratulations on your choice of the
FURUNO GP-150-DUAL dual differential
GPS navigation system. 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.
This equipment 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-DUAL consists of two dual
differential GPS navigator systems and an
interface unit. Each GPS navigator consists
of a display unit combining a GPS receiver
and video plotter, a GPS antenna. The
interface unit functions to exchange data
between the GPS navigators and external
equipment. A high sensitivity receiver tracks
up to 12 satellites simultaneously. An 8-state
Kalman filter ensures optimum accuracy in
determination of vessel position, course and
speed.
The main features of the GP-150-DUAL are
• Comprehensive navigation data displays
• Storage for 999 waypoints and 30 routes
• Alarms: Waypoint Arrival, Anchor Watch,
Cross track Error, 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.
• Menu-driven operation
• Bright 122 x 92 mm LCD with temperature
compensated tone and brilliance
adjustment
• Power consumption is a low 10 W per
navigator.
• Connection of autopilot (option) - steering
data output to autopilot
• Digital display of water temperature and
depth with connection of echo sounder
having IEC 61162-1/NMEA input
• Memory stores 2,000 points of track and
marks.
• 3D "Highway" display shows ship's track
overlaid on intended course.
• Position may be shown in latitude and
longitude or LOP (Loran or Decca).
• Navaid information (lighthouse data, lighted
buoys, etc.) can be displayed by
downloading database from personal
computer.
• Fully meets the following regulations:
IMO MSC. 112(73), IEC 61162-1 and IEC
61108-1.

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
1.2 Turning On and Off the Power
The GP-150-DUAL takes about 90 seconds
to find its position when turned on for the very
first time. Other times it takes about 12
seconds.
Note: The GPS provides highly accurate
position information. However, position
should always be checked against
other aids to navigation to confirm
reliability, for the safety of vessel and
crew.
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. After the test has been completed,
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 is not 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.

1.5 Transmitting Data
The GPS navigators share the data listed
below when transmitting data to each other.
Any action initiated against those data is
automatically repeated on the other navigator.
For example, if you register waypoint 27 on
one navigator it will be registered on the other
navigator under the same waypoint number.
• Alarm settings, alarm buzzer
• Destination data
• Disabled satellite data

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
1.6 The Interface Unit
The Interface Unit IF-2500 outputs data
received from the navigators to external
equipment. Operational status is shown by
the LEDs on the unit. For further details, see
the chapter on installation. For how to select
data to output, see paragraph 8.4 Outputting
Data.
Output data conventions
Since both navigators output data to the
IF-2500 (through two ports on the interface)
confusion would reign if it were to try to
output two sets of mostly identical data.
Therefore, data output is governed by the
following rules:
• When both navigators are outputting data
correctly, data received at the port having
higher priority is output.
• When the GPS abnormal receive signal is
received at the port having higher priority,
data received from the other port is output.
• 30 seconds after data received at the port
having higher priority becomes normal, the
interface unit resumes outputting data
received from that port.
• When data from both navigators is in error,
data received at the port having higher
priority is output.
• Arrival alarm signal or cross track error
alarm is converted to a contact signal and
output when received at the port having
higher priority.
• When no data is received from one or both
navigators, a contact signal is output.

the top of the display. Own ship moves on the
display in accordance with true speed and
true motion. Land is stationary.

The cursor (+) functions to select location for
a mark; erase marks; measure range and
bearing, etc.
Data and cursor state
Cursor state determines what data are shown
on the display.
Cursor turned on, cursor data
Cursor position is displayed in latitude and
longitude or LOPs (depending on menu
setting) at the top of the display. The range

The plotting interval determines both how the

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. NAVIGATION PLANNING
4.1 Entering 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-DUAL 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, and
• through the waypoint list.
Waypoints are mutually entered when the
navigators are sharing data.
Entering waypoints by the cursor

3) Use 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 erased.
