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).

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.
3.Use electrical tape to secure the NMEA pigtail to the cable.
Unless it is needed, leave the NMEA pigtail secured to the cable. If you are connecting the pigtail to a NMEA 0183 device, see Section 3: Connect to the Control Head for connection information.

2.Optional: You can connect an optional-purchase device, such as an autopilot, to the Sensor pigtail wires.
GPS Receiver/Heading Sensor
(Optional Accessory Wires)
The pinouts are as follows:
Black Wire (Ground)
White Wire (Control Head NMEA Out): outputs the navigation calculations and commands from the control head as IN (Integrated Navigation) NMEA sentences. Connect the white wire to the device’s NMEA In wire.
OR
Green Wire (GPS NMEA Out): outputs GP (Global Positioning) NMEA sentences directly from the Sensor. Connect the green wire to the device’s NMEA In wire if it can only read GP NMEA sentences.
See your device installation guide to identify the NMEA In wire. The device will connect to the white wire or green wire, depending on its NMEA communication requirements (IN or GP).
