Do not use the equipment for other than
its intended purpose.
Improper use of the equipment can result
in personal injury or equipment damage.
No one navigation device should ever
be solely relied upon for the navigation
of a vessel.
Always confirm position against all
available aids to navigation, for safety of
vessel and crew.
CAUTION
Confirm that the power supply voltage
is compatible with the voltage rating
of the equipment.
Connection to the wrong power supply can
cause fire or equipment damage.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
This antenna incorporates a GPS receiver. It can be connected directly to NAVnet
equipment and Multi Display RD-30. However, if it connected to an equipment other than the
NAVnet product, a junction box (local supply) is required.

When select ing a mounting location for the antenna unit keeps in mi nd the following points.
•
The antenna may be mount ed three ways: screwed into a pi pe ( local supply), fixed to a
post wi th the optional m as t mounting kit, or s cr ewed into an optional mounting base. For
fixing by the post or pipe, it is recom m ended to use stays to prevent damag e to the GPS
receiver.
•
Select a location out of the radar beam. The r adar beam will obstruct or prevent rec eption
of the GPS s atellit e si gnal.
•
The loc ation should be well aw ay from a V HF antenna. A GPS rec eiver is interfered by a
harmonic wave of a VHF antenna.
•
The loc ation should be well aw ay from an Inmarsat-B antenna. Transmission of
Inmarsat-B will obs truct or prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal.
•
There should be no interf er ing object within the line-of-s ight to the s atellites. Objects
within line-of-sight to a satellite, f or ex am ple, a mast may block reception or prol ong
acquisition time.
•
Mount the antenna unit as high as possi ble. Mounting the antenna unit as high as
possible k eeps it free of interf er ing objects and water spray, which can interr upt reception
of GPS sat ellite signal if the wat er freezes.
•
If the antenna c able is to be passed through a hole whi c h is not large enoug h to pass the
connector, you may cut the c able with cutting pliers. Re- c onnect it after r unning the cabl e
through the hole. Wrap cable with vulcanizing tape and then vinyl tape. Bind the tape end
with cable-tie.
Mounting
Install the antenna unit by referring to inst allation diagram of page D-1.

2. WIRING
This unit outputs position and speed to e xternal equipment, mainly to NAVnet equipment. To
connect to NAVnet equipment, connect waterproof connector directly to NAVnet equipment.
For connection to other equipment, use a junction box (local supply), which provides seven
terminals. A ten meter cable is attached to this unit . If the distance between this unit and
monitor more than 10 m, use optional extens ion cable (10 m). Up to four extension cables
can be connected serially.

Connecting to other type of equipment
Cut the connec tor and fabricate the c able end, using a crimp- on lug similar termi nal.
Prepare a j unc tion box loc ally.
Note1) Maximum input voltage is 31.2 VDC. Voltage higher than that will damage the
antenna. To connect batter y of over 31.2 VDC, contact your dealer to request
connection of external circuit.
Note2) When con nec ting a FUR UNO extern al DGPS beacon receiver ( s uc h as the GR-80)
to this unit, set the exter nal DGPS beacon receiver as fol lows:
Byte Format, 8-6; First Bit, LSB; Parity Bit, None; Stop Bit, 1; Bit Rate, 8.
Note3) The signal ground and frame ground are separated, however the power line i s not
isolat ed. Therefore, do not connect the signal gr ound to the frame ground when
connecting other equipment to a positive gro und battery.

Note) For connecting to equipm ent other than a NAVnet product, the monitor displays the
latitude and longitude of Nishinomiya, Japan as initial position for about 90 seconds
after the power is turned on. This is because no back up is provided when conn ecting
to non-NAVnet equipment.
