Introduction

Install the GPS Receiver/Heading Sensor

Use the following instructions to install the GPS Receiver/Heading Sensor (“Sensor”) on your boat.

1 | Choose the Mounting Location

It is important to consider the following information when you choose a mounting location for the Sensor:

• Interference: Do NOT mount the Sensor close to a VHF antenna or within the active area of a radar. Do NOT install the Sensor near ferrous metals or near anything that can create a magnetic field. Hardware and cables that handle large currents, such as batteries and power cables, are also examples of equipment that may cause interference.

• Reception: Mount the Sensor in an area that has full exposure to the sky. The effective area of reception is 5˚ above the horizon.

• Surface: Whether the Sensor Cable will be routed down through the mounting surface or to the side, or if you’re using a stem mount, the mounting surface will influence how you install the Sensor. For details, see Section 2: Install the Sensor.

• Extension Cables: Test run the Sensor Cable from the chosen mounting location to the control head. 10 ft (3 m) extension cables may be purchased from Humminbird if your planned cable route exceeds 20 ft (6 m). Maximum cable length, including extension cables, should not exceed 50 ft (16 m).

2 | Install the Sensor

There are three different options to mount the sensor. Proceed to the section that matches the type of mounting location you will be using, as follows:

Stem Mount with 1" - 14 Thread

The Sensor will be mounted on a stem or antenna pole. Proceed to Section A.

NO Access Under the Mounting Deck

The Sensor will be deck mounted and the cable must be routed to the side because there is not space for a cable through or underneath the mounting location. Proceed

cable routed to the side

to Section C.

GPS/Heading Sensor

A. Stem Mount with 1"-14 Thread

Use the following instructions to stem mount the Sensor.

WARNING! Do NOT mount the Sensor to a stem mount or antenna pole that contains ferrous metals.

NOTE: It is important to review the mounting considerations and test run the cable route as indicated in Section 1 before proceeding with the installation.

1. If you have a pre-existing stem mount, skip to step 2.

If you need to mount the antenna pole (stem), mark the chosen mounting location and drill a 3/4" (19 mm) hole for the cable and cable connector.

If you have purchased hardware to stem mount your Sensor, follow the instructions

included with that hardware to attach the stem to the boat.

2. Screw the Sensor base onto the stem first, making sure that the stem pipe does not protrude from the Sensor base. (This adds protection to the cable when it is pulled through the pipe stem.) Deburr the pipe edges to reduce cable abrasion.
