GNSS module. This User Guide is available for download on the
www.HGNSS.com.
Note: When referring to both the Vector V123 and V133™ GNSS Compass,
this manual uses the term V123/133. When referring to either product this
manual uses either V123 or V133, respectively.
The V123/V133 is designed for marine and land applications that require
precise heading and sub-meter position performance. Featuring a Crescent
Vector GNSS receiver and two separate antennas, V123/V133 achieves
heading accuracy of 0.30º RMS.
The V123/V133 tracks single frequency GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, and
BeiDou. The V123/133 can be upgraded via activations to support Atlas Lband.
The V123/133 is a complete multi-GNSS compass system for heading and

V123 and V133 Compass is free from routine maintenance. Heading is
determined from GNSS, and there is no need to wait for settling time,
gyrocompass calibration and speed corrections. Vector performance is not
affected by geomagnetism making it the perfect solution for any marine
application.
The V123/133 is an integrated system that houses the following:
• Crescent and Crescent Vector H220 module
• Dual GNSS multipath-resistant antennas
• DGPS beacon module and H-field beacon antenna (V133 only)
• Power supply
• Six-axis sensor
The sensor is present to improve system performance and to provide backup
heading information in the event a GNSS heading is not available due to
signal blockage. The sensor provides a substitute heading, accurate to within
1º per minute for up to three minutes.
The V133 has an internal Beacon antenna capable of receiving these signals,
demodulating them, and applying the differential correction to the GNSS
position
Note: The V123 GNSS Compass is identical to the V133 GNSS Compass;
however, the V123 GNSS Compass does not contain a DGPS beacon module
and antenna. If you purchased the V123 GNSS Compass, disregard the
sections of this manual that discuss the beacon signal, receiver operation,
and implications to installation relating to the beacon signal.

other mounting options.
GNSS satellite
When considering where to mount the V123/133, consider the following
Figure 2-1: Recessed arro w
location, orientation considerations, environmental considerations, and
reception
satellite reception recommendations:
• Ensure there is a clear view of the sky available to the V123/133 so the
GNSS and L-band satellites are not masked by obstructions that may reduce
system performance
• Mount the V123/133 in a position in respect to the primary GNSS antenna
(located on the end opposite the recessed arrow on the underside of the
enclosure)
• Locate any transmitting antennas away from the V123/133 by at least a
few meters to ensure tracking performance is not compromised
• Ensure cable length is adequate to route into the vessel to reach a
breakout box or terminal strip
• Do not locate the antenna where environmental conditions exceed those
specified in Appendix B, Technical Specifications of this document.

Beacon
When using the V133’s internal beacon receiver as the correction source,
the Hemisphere GNSS Technical Reference Manual.
reception
consider the possible mounting locations from the perspective of ambient
noise within the beacon band.
Keep the following in mind when deciding upon a location with respect to
maximizing beacon performance:
• Ensure that the antenna is as far as possible from all other equipment that
emits electromagnetic interference (EMI), including DC motors, alternators,
solenoids, radios, power cables, display units, and other electronic devices.
• If you are installing the antenna on a vessel, mount the Vector compass as
high as possible, considering maintenance and accessibility. In addition,
ensure that the antenna is higher than the highest metal object on the
vessel.
• If a radar system is present, mount the antenna outside the path of the
radar beam.
The V133’s internal beacon receiver calculates a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR),
measured in decibels (dB), that indicates the receiver’s performance. The
SNR is the height of the signal above the noise floor: the higher the SNR, the
better your beacon receiver demodulates the signal.
The optimum antenna location is a position where your average SNR is
highest. You should turn on all accessories you intend to use during normal
operation when locating the best position for the antenna. By monitoring the
SNR, you can determine the optimum location with respect to beacon
reception. The SNR is available in the $CRMSS NMEA message described in

VHF
VHF interference from such devices as cellular phones and radio transmitters
interference
may interfere with GPS operation, however the Vector compass can still
track other constellations, maintaining heading and position.
For example, if installing the V123/133 near marine radios, consider the
following:
• VHF marine radio working frequencies (Channels 1 to 28 and 84 to 88)
range from 156.05 to 157.40 MHz. The L1 GPS working center frequency is
1575.42 MHz. The bandwidth is +/- 2MHz to +/- 10 MHz, which is
dependent on the GNSS antenna and receiver design.
• VHF marine radios emit strong harmonics. The 10th harmonic of VHF radio,
in some channels, falls into the GPS working frequency band, which may
cause the SNR of GNSS to degrade significantly.
• The radiated harmonic signal strength of different brands/models varies.
• Follow VHF radio manufacturers’ recommendations on how to mount their
radios and what devices to keep a safe distance away.
• Handheld 5W VHF radios may not provide suitable filtering and may
interfere with the V123/133’s operation if too close.
Before installing the Vector Compass, use the following diagram to ensure
there are no nearby devices that may cause VHF interference.

determines if you need to enter a heading, pitch, or roll bias.
The primary antenna is used for positioning and the primary and secondary
antennas, working in conjunction, output heading, pitch, and roll values.

Ports
Overview
The V123/133 offers either serial port or NMEA 2000 functionality.
Serial ports
The V123/133 has three serial ports:
Note: The V123/133 has maximum baud rate of 115200.
1. Port A can be both full-duplex RS-232 and half-duplex RS-422 (transmit
2. Port B is full-duplex RS-232 or RS-422
3. Port C is for NMEA 2000 and only available via serial-to-NMEA adapter
You can receive external differential corrections via either Port A (full-duplex
RS-232) or Port B (full-duplex RS-422).
You can connect up to three devices at one time using two ports.
One device can receive data via Port A (RS-422 transmit only) while two
devices can transmit and receive data via Ports A and B (one connected to
Port A RS- 232 and one connected to Port B).
Note: Port A (RS-422) or Port B is required for communicating to an IMOcertified device.
You can update firmware via Port A (RS-232) or Port B.

Port A can have a different configuration from Port B in data message
output, data rates, and the baud rate of the port, and configure the ports
independently based upon your needs. Both RS-232 and RS-422 output
signals may be used simultaneously.
The RS-232 Port A and RS-422 Port A output the same data messages at the
same baud rate. If the baud rate or messages for the RS-422 port need to be
changed, this needs to be commanded through the RS-232 port.
Note: For successful communications, use the 8-N-1 protocol and set the
baud rate of the V123/133’s serial ports to match that of the devices to

When lengthening the cable keep the following in mind:
• To lengthen the serial lines inside the vessel, use 20-gauge twisted pairs
and minimize the additional wire length.
• When lengthening the power input leads to the V123/133, ensure the
additional voltage drop is small enough to power the system above the
minimum voltage of the system. Wire of 18-gauge or larger should also be
used.
• Minimize RS-232 cable length to ensure reliable communication.

V123/133’s internal GNSS receiver.
Note: Differential source and status have no impact on heading, pitch, or roll.
They only have an impact on positioning and heave.
The V123/133 provides accurate and reliable heading and position
information at high update rates. To accomplish this task, the V123/133 uses
a high performance GNSS receiver and two antennas for GNSS signal
processing.
One antenna is designated as the primary GNSS antenna and the other is the
secondary GNSS antenna. Positions computed by the V123/133 are
referenced to the phase center of the primary GNSS antenna. Heading data
references the Vector formed from the primary GNSS antenna phase center
to the secondary GNSS antenna phase center.
The heading arrow located on the bottom of the V123/133 enclosure defines
system orientation. The arrow points in the direction the heading
measurement is computed (when the antenna is installed parallel to the
fore-aft line of the vessel). The secondary antenna is directly above the

Supplemental Sensors
Overview
The V123/133 has a supplemental sensor integrated into the H220 GNSS
and methodology required to recalibrate, query, or change the sensor status.
Tilt aiding
The V123/133’ s internal sensor is factory calibrated and enabled by default
Figure 3-1: V123/133 tilt aiding
board that is enabled by default. You can enable/disable the sensor.
The sensor acts to reduce the RTK search volume, which improves heading
startup and reacquisition times. This improves the reliability and accuracy of
selecting the correct heading solution by eliminating other possible,
erroneous solutions.
The Hemisphere GNSS Technical Reference Manual describes the commands
and constrains the RTK heading solution beyond the volume associated with
a fixed antenna separation.
The V123/133 knows the approximate inclination of the secondary antenna
with respect to the primary antenna. The search space defined by the sensor
is reduced to a horizontal ring on the sphere’s surface by reducing the search
volume and decreases startup and reacquisition times (see Figure 3-1).

heading is lost due to blocked satellite signals.
The sensor provides a relative change in angle since the last computed
heading and defines the search space as a wedge-shaped location (see Figure
3-2).
Figure 3-2: V123/133 gyro aiding
The gyro aiding accurately smooths the heading output and the ROT, and
provides an accurate substitute heading for a short period depending on the
roll and pitch of the vessel.
The sensor provides an alternate source of heading, accurate to within 1º per
minute for up to three minutes, in times of GNSS loss for either antenna. If
the outage lasts longer than three minutes, the sensor will have drifted too
far and the V123/133 begins outputting null fields in the heading output
messages. There is no user control over the timeout period of the sensor.
The sensor initializes itself at power up and during initialization, or you can
calibrate it as outlined in the Hemisphere GNSS Technical Reference Manual.
For optimal performance, when the sensor is first initializing, the dynamics
the sensor experiences during this warm-up period are similar to the regular

provide a degree of smoothing to the heading, pitch, Rate-of-Turn (ROT),
Course-over-Ground (COG), and speed measurements.
You can adjust these parameters depending on the expected dynamics of the
vessel. For example, increasing the time is reasonable if the vessel is very
large and is not able to turn quickly or would not pitch quickly. The resulting
values would have reduced “noise,” resulting in consistent values with time.
If the vessel is quick and nimble, increasing this value can create a lag in
measurements.
If you are unsure on how to set this value, it is best to be conservative and
leave it at the default setting.
Note: For heading and rate of turn there is no lag once the sensor is
calibrated and enabled.
Formulas for determining the level of smoothing are located in the
Hemisphere GNSS Technical Reference Manual. If you are unsure how to set
true heading measurement provided in the $GPHDT message. The default
value of this constant is 0.1 seconds of smoothing when gyro-aid is enabled.
By disabling gyro-aid, the equivalent default value of the heading time

therefore it must be manually entered.

COG measurement provided in the $GPVTG message. The default value of
this constant is 0.0 seconds of smoothing.
Note: Increasing the time constant increases the level of COG smoothing.
COG is computed using only the primary GNSS antenna and its accuracy
depends upon the speed of the vessel (noise is proportional to 1/speed).
This value is invalid when the vessel is stationary, as tiny movements due to
speed measurement provided in the $GPVTG message. The default value of
this parameter is 0.0 seconds of smoothing.

Power
For best performance, use a clean and continuous power supply. The
leads of the extension cable.
Electrical
The V123/133’s power supply is isolated from the communication lines and
vessel (addressing the issue of vessel hull electrolysis).
connections
V123/133 power supply features reverse polarity protection but will not
operate with reverse polarity. See Table B-4 for complete power
specifications.
Note: This section refers to powering the unit via serial connection. To power
the unit via NMEA 2000 connection, follow the standard procedure for
powering up via NMEA 2000.
Before you power up the V123/133 you must terminate the wires of the
power cable as required. There are a variety of power connectors and
terminals on the market from which to choose, depending on your specific
requirements.
Do not apply a voltage higher than 36 VDC. This will damage the receiver
and void the warranty.
To interface the V123/133 power cable to the power source:
• Connect the red wire of the cable’s power input to DC positive (+)
• Connect the black wire of the cable’s power input to DC negative (-)
The V123/133 starts when an acceptable voltage is applied to the power

Alarm Functionality
Overview
A relay is located on the Transmit Heading Device (THD) circuit board. The
Alarm signal
There are two wires (24 AWG multi-strands) on the output cable that are

Watchdog
The watchdog is a timer controlled by the software which monitors heading
loss. The watchdog software is compliant with IEC 60945.
relay contacts are isolated from all circuitry in the THD. The THD is connected
to the coil side of the relay, but not to the contacts that are connected to the
external pins through the main IO connector.
If the THD loses power or heading, the coil voltage is lost, and the relay
opens and activates the notification method employed by the user. When
the heading is output, the relay contacts remain closed, completing the
circuit as an indication that the V123/133 is operational.
Note: Alarm functionality is only valid for serial communication. Alarm pins
must be connected to an IMO-certified device.

white and white/red stripe and are the output of a relay. When this relay
closes, the connection is complete on the user-defined external notification

procedures set forth herein below, that for a period of one (1) year from the original date of
purchase of the Product in which it is embedded (the "Warranty Period"), the Software, under
normal use and maintenance, will conform in all material respects to the documentation
provided with the Software and any media will be free of defects in materials and
workmanship. For any Update, Hemisphere warrants, for 90 days from performance or delivery,
or for the balance of the original Warranty Period, whichever is greater, that the Update, under
normal use and maintenance, will conform in all material respects to the documentation
provided with the Update and any media will be free of defects in materials and workmanship.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hemisphere does not warrant that the Software will meet
Licensee's requirements or that its operation will be error free.

10.
WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THIS AGREEMENT, HEMISPHERE
MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND TO LICENSEE,
WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES
AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND INCLUDING FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
MERCHANTABILITY, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY OR THAT THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE
UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS,
WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS ARISING AS A RESULT OF CUSTOM, USAGE OR TRADE AND
THOSE ARISING UNDER STATUTE.
11.
LIMITS ON WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied
warranties or conditions, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to Licensee. In that
case, any implied warranties or conditions which would then otherwise arise will be limited in
duration to ninety (90) days from the date of the license of the Software or the purchase of the
Product. The warranties given herein give Licensee specific legal rights and Licensee may have
other rights which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
12.
CHANGE TO WARRANTY.No employee or agent of Hemisphere is authorized to change the
warranty provided or the limitation or disclaimer of warranty provisions. All such changes will
only be effective if pursuant to a separate agreement signed by senior officers of the respective

14.
LICENSEE REMEDIES. In all cases which involve a failure of the Software to conform in any
material respect to the documentation during the Warranty Period or a breach of a warranty,
Hemisphere's sole obligation and liability, and Licensee's sole and exclusive remedy, is for
Hemisphere, at Hemisphere's option, to (a) repair the Software, (b) replace the Software with
software conforming to the documentation, or (c) if Hemisphere is unable, on a reasonable
commercial basis, to repair the Software or to replace the Software with conforming software
within ninety (90) days, to terminate this Agreement and thereafter Licensee shall cease using
the Software. Hemisphere will also issue a refund for the price paid by Licensee less an amount
on account of amortization, calculated on a straight-line basis over a deemed useful life of three
(3) years.
15.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL HEMISPHERE BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES INCLUDING ARISING IN
RELATION TO ANY LOSS OF DATA, INCOME, REVENUE, GOODWILL OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS
EVEN IF HEMISPHERE HAS BEEN INFORMED OFTHE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE.
FURTHER, IN NO EVENT WILL HEMISPHERE'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY HEREUNDER, FROM
ALL CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY LICENSEE TO
HEMISPHERE TO PURCHASE THE PRODUCT. THIS LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION APPLIES
IRRESPECTIVE OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BREACH OF
CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY,
MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY AND WILL SURVIVE A FUNDAMENTAL
BREACH.
16.
LIMITS ON LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Some jurisdictions do not allow for the limitation or
exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to Licensee and Licensee may also have other legal rights which may
vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
17.
BASIS OF BARGAIN. Licensee agrees and acknowledges that Hemisphere has set its prices and
the parties have entered into this Agreement in reliance on the limited warranties, warranty
disclaimers and limitations of liability set forth herein, that the same reflect an agreed-to
allocation of risk between the parties (including the risk that a remedy may fail of its essential
purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same forms an essential basis of the
bargain between the parties. Licensee agrees and acknowledges that Hemisphere would not
have been able to sell the Product at the amount charged on an economic basis without such
limitations.
18.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS INDEMNITY. Hemisphere shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Licensee from and against any and all actions, claims, demands, proceedings, liabilities, direct
damages, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs and expenses, including royalties and
attorneys' fees and related costs, in connection with or arising out of any actual infringement of
any third party patent, copyright or other intellectual property right by the Software or by its
use, in accordance with this Agreement and documentation, PROVIDED THAT: (a) Hemisphere
has the right to assume full control over any action, claim, demand or proceeding, (b) Licensee
shall promptly notify Hemisphere of any such action, claim, demand, or proceeding, and (c)
Licensee shall give Hemisphere such reasonable assistance and tangible material as is
reasonably available to Licensee for the defense of the action, claim, demand or proceeding.
Licensee shall not settle or compromise any of same for which Hemisphere has agreed to
assume responsibility without Hemisphere's prior written consent. Licensee may, at its sole cost
and expense, retain separate counsel from the counsel utilized or retained by Hemisphere.
INFRINGEMENT. If use of the Software may be enjoined due to a claim of infringement by a
third party then, at its sole discretion and expense, Hemisphere may do one of the following: (a)
negotiate a license or other agreement so that the Product is no longer subject to such a
potential claim, (b) modify the Product so that it becomes non- infringing, provided such
modification can be accomplished without materially affecting the performance and
