The Installation Instructions included with your GPSMAP 3000 series chartplotter contain instructions for mounting a GPS 17x antenna. This supplement contains instructions for mounting a GPS 17N or GPS 17HVS antenna. Check the label on your antenna to determine which model you have. Refer to the GPSMAP 3000 Series Installation Instructions to install cabling and for additional installation instructions.

Installing the GPS 17N or GPS 17HVS

The GPS 17N/17HVS can be ush mounted or installed on any standard 1" O.D. (Outer Dimension), 14 threads-per-inch, marine mount. When mounting the antenna, the cable can be run externally, through the mounting panel, or through

the center of the marine mount.

The GPS 17N/17HVS connects to the 18-pin Power/Data cable on the GPSMAP 3000 series chartplotter and provides the GPS/WAAS signal for the unit. If two or more GPSMAP 3000 series units are installed and networked, only one GPS 17N

or GPS 17HVS needs to be installed.

For optimal reception, mount the GPS 17N/17HVS in a location that has a clear,

unobstructed view of the sky in all directions. Avoid mounting the antenna where

it is shaded by the superstructure of the boat, a radome antenna, or mast. Avoid

mounting the unit high on a sailboat mast to prevent inaccurate speed readings caused by excessive heeling. The unit provides more stable readings if it is located nearer to water level. Mount the GPS 17N/17HVS at least 3 ft. (9 m) away from (preferably above) the path of any radar beam or a VHF radio antenna. Temporarily secure the unit in the preferred mounting location and test for

correct operation. After verication, permanently mount the unit. If interference with other electronics is experienced, try a different location.

NOTE: Mount the antenna at least 3 ft. (0.9 m) away

from (preferably above) the path of any radar beam or a

VHF radio antenna.

NOTE: Do not paint the GPS 17N/17HVS antenna or clean it with harsh solvents.

To ush mount the GPS 17N/17HVS:

1. Cut out the Flush Mount Template on page 3, and tape it on the selected mounting location.

2. Mark the center of each mounting hole by tapping the end of a center punch or pointed object with a hammer. If the cable is going to be installed through the mounting panel, mark the center of the additional hole.

3. Drill the holes using the appropriate drill bits.

4. Align the GPS 17N/17HVS over the mounting holes, and fasten it using M4 screws. The mounting threads are 8.1 mm deep. Do not use screws that thread into the antenna deeper than 5/16 in. (8 mm), or the case may be damaged.

The antenna can be installed with the coax through the panel

or on the outside of the unit. If the coax is run through the

panel, seal the outside exit area with marine sealant.

To mount the GPS 17N/17HVS with the cable run outside the mount:

1. Place the cable in the vertical slot along the side of the base of the unit.

2. Screw the antenna onto the mount. DO NOT overtighten the head. It is possible to over tighten the unit and cut the cable.

Power/Data Cable Wiring

Use the following diagram to connect the GPS 17N/17HVS antenna to a GPSMAP 3000 series chartplotter. Use 22 AWG (18 AWG for the Red and Black wires), shielded, twisted-pair wiring for extended runs of wire. Solder all connections and seal the connection with heat shrink

tubing.
