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

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.

1.6 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.

2.8 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. 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.

4.4 Entering 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-DUAL can automatically advance to the next waypoint on a route, so you do not have to change the destination waypoint repeatedly.

The GP-150-DUAL 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. Routes are mutually registered when the navigators are sharing data.

5.4 Finding Range and Bearing Between Two Points

Selecting course sailing method

The range and bearing to a destination can be calculated two ways: Great Circle or Rhumb Line. However, cross track error is calculated in 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. MENU SETTINGS

8.1 GPS SETUP 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 line 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 noticeable at high ship’s speeds. "0" is the normal setting; increase the setting if the GPS fix changes greatly.

GPS smoothing, speed

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. Change the setting if the ETA seems wrong.

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-DUAL does not exclude abnormal signals automatically.

8-1

8. MENU SETTINGS

SAFE: GPS signal is safe to use. CAUTION: RAIM accuracy is shorter than protected level or RAIM measurement not possible. UNSAFE: GPS signal is not safe to use.

Enter the range for which you want to know position confidence

Geodetic datum

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 to disable 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 + and - 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-DUAL can also receive data and output data to external equipment, through an interface unit. 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-DUAL transmits data using the GP (GPS talker), LC (Loran) or DE (Decca) talker.

10. INSTALLATION

10.3 Antenna Unit

Mounting

Install the antenna unit referring to the installation diagram on page D-4. When selecting a mounting location for the antenna unit, keep in mind the following points.

• Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal.

• Be sure the location offers a clean line-of-sight to satellite. Objects within line-of-sight to a satellite, for example, a mast or funnel, block reception and cause prolonged acquiring time or interruption of position fix.

• Mount the unit as high as possible. Mounting the antenna as high as possible keeps it free of water spray, which can interrupt or prevent reception of GPS satellite signal, if water spray is frozen.

• The antenna unit GPA-018S must be grounded. Connect ground wire of

1.25 sq or larger (local supply) between the antenna unit and a stainless steel screw fastened to the mast.

• The antenna unit GPA-018S must be taped. See next page.

• The antenna unit should be fixed to the mast as below.

Coat here with silicone sealant to prevent breakage of the cable by vibration.

Wrap the vinyl sheet to prevent the breakage of the cable, and then fix it with a hose clamp.

10-4

Taping antenna unit GPA-018S

After inserting the whip antenna to the antenna base of GPA-018S, tape the antenna base and whip antenna with self-vulcanizing tape and vinyl tape to reinforce the whip antenna.

1. Wrap the antenna junction point with butyl rubber tape No. 15 (NITTO SINKO COOP.) or the equivalent.

How to wrap

1) Pull the tape to be about two times in length and wind it up, overlapping by

1/2 the width of the tape.

2) Wrap from bottom to top, i.e., from right to left as in the picture below.

10.5 Initial Settings

The GP-150-DUAL can output navigation information to external equipment through the Interface Unit IF-2500. For example, it can output position data to a radar or echo sounder for display on their screen.

Before selecting data to output, confirm what data the external equipment requires. Output necessary data only. Outputting unnecessary data can cause receiving problems at the external equipment.

Talker

All data transmitted by marine electronics equipment is prefixed with a two-character code which tells external equipment what equipment is transmitting data. This two-character code is called the “talker.” The GP-150-DUAL contains the talkers GP, LC and DE.

TX rate of operation: Low

TX rate of operation: High

Note 1: When outputting data without rest intervals between data, TX rate of

operation is 100%. In this case, wrong data may be shown on the receiver because it cannot recognize intervals between data. Thus, do not output unnecessary data or set TX interval to large value so that TX rate of operation becomes small.

Note 2: When the external equipment cannot display correct data input from the

GP-150, the rate of operation should be lowered. For example, set a rate of operation less than 60 % for the Temperature Indicator TI-20.
