SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Do not work inside the
equipment unless totally
familiar with electrical
circuits.

Hazardous voltage which can
cause electrical shock, burn
or serious injury exists inside
the equipment.

Turn off the power at the
mains switchboard before
beginning the installation.
Post a sign near the switch
to indicate it should not be
turned on while the equip­ment is being installed.

Fire, electrical shock or
serious injury can result if the
power is left on or is applied
while the equipment is being
installed.

CAUTION

Ground the equipment to
prevent electrical shock
and mutual interference.

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. The
voltage rating appears on the label at the
rear of the display unit.

Use the correct fuse.

Use of a wrong fuse can cause fire or
equipment damage.

Keep the following compass safe

2. DISPLAY UNIT

The dis play unit can be installed with either of four methods as shown below. Refer to the
outline dr awing page D-2, D-3, and D-4.

• Locate the unit aw ay from exhaust pip es and vents.

• The mounting location should be well ventilated.

• Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.

• Keep the display u ni t away el ectromagneti c fi el d g en er ati n g eq ui pm e nt such as motor,

generator.

• Allow sufficient maintenance space and a sufficient slack in cables for maintenance and
repair.

• If vibration is a problem, tilt the display unit so it contacts the vibration absorbers attached to
the inside of the hanger (t ilted within 5 °).

3. ANTENNA UNIT

Mounting

Install the antenna unit referring to the ins tallation diagram on page D-4. When selec ting a
mounting l oc ation for the antenna unit, keep in mind the following points.

• Selec t a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent re ception
of the GPS satellite sign al.

• Be sure the location offer s a clean line-of-sight to satellite. Objects within line-of-sight to
a satellite, for example, a mast or funnel, blo c k recep tion and cause prolonged acquiring time
or in terruption of positi on fix.

• Mount the unit as high as possible. Mounting the antenna as high as possible keeps it free
of water spray , wh ich c an int ercept reception of GPS satellite signal, if water spray is frozen.

• The antenna unit GPA-018S must be grounded. Connect gr ou nd wi re of 1.25 sq or larger
(local supply) between unit and a stainless steel screw fastened to the mast.

Extending Antenna Cable Length

The standar d c able is 15m long. 30m and 50m long extension cable sets are optionally
available. See page 4.

Grounding

The dis play unit contains s everal CPUs. While they are operating, they radiate noise, which
can interf er e with other radi o equipment. Groun d the unit as follows to prevent it.

•

The groundi ng wire should be 1.25sq or larger.

•

The groundi ng wire should be as s hor t as possible.

External Equipment

The DATA 1, DATA2, and DATA 3 por ts are used to connect an ex ternal equipment such as
autopilot, remote display, navigation equipment. Refer to the interconnecti on diagram on
page S-1 for c onnection of DATA1, DATA2 and DATA 3 port. The DATA 4 por t is used to
connect NMEA equipment, IBM-PC or DGPS beac on r eceiver as fol lows;

5. INITIAL SETTINGS

83 21

Beacon signal status
Reference station status

DGPS signal strength
This value is between 1

and 84. The higher the
value, the stronger the
signal. If a noise appears
at reception band width,
the value becomes bigger.

Input/Output Setting

Error rate of connection data
This value is between 1 to 22. The higher

the value, the better the reception of
beacon signal. When this value is less
than 20, the error is included in the
correction data. In this time, position
fixing is done by using past position data.
When the ship is in the service area of a
beacon station, this value should be 21 or

22. If not, check as follows.

• Check the grounding.

• Check the radar beam interference.

• Check the noise of power generator of

the ship.

The GP- 80 c an output navigation information to ex ternal equipment . For example, i t can
output position data to a radar or ec ho sounder for di s play on their display screen. You can
convert a Lor an P lotter to a GPS P lotter with posi tion data from the GP-80.

Before selec ting data to outp ut, confirm w hat data the external equipment requires. O utput
necessary data only. Out putting unnecessary data can cause receiving problems at the
external equipment.

Talker

All data tr ans m itted by marine electronics equipment is prefixed with a two character code
which t ells external equipm ent what equipment is transmitting data. This two character code
is called the talker. The GP-80 contains the t alkers GP, LC and DE.

Because GP S is a relatively new s ystem some early m odel equipment do not recognize the
GP talk er nam e. In this case transmit data using a con ventional talker, one the equipment
recogniz es , such as Loran C.
