Magellan NAV 5200DX User Manual

Specifications and Main Features

The instrument measures: 8.38 inches x 5.75 inches x 2.38 inches but does not include the antenna.
Bracket mounted devices have more inches with their measurements of 10.63 by 7.11 but also 3.02 excluding much of the bottom half.
The device weighs in pounds is calculated in a combined total of 3, with 1.6 ounces drenched from 1.41 kilograms.
The display is relatively larger than what a standard twist would be made of because its made of Suppertwisted Liquid Crystal Display.
3.875 by 3.125 is the improper metric measurement of an LCD display, it is also equivalent to 9.84 centimeters by 7.94.
It is recommended that the outside Operational temperature range for the device that LCD can operate on is between -10°C up to 50°C.
To prevent any damage through indirect and direct water exposure a splash proof housing is set for the device.
To ensure that the device is functioning in an appropriate temperature condition, the maximum safe storage for it is -40°C and minimum would be 70°C.
The dimensions of the GPS Exterior Antenna are 3.5 inches by 8.89 which in total is combined around 15.24 meters worth of cable.
Two dimensional location resolution reach 15 meters and what would be asymmetrical is SA, otherwise gauges reach 10 meters with enhanced differential corrections active.
Velocity Accuracy: ±0.1 knots (HDOP<2, C/No 247 dB-Hz, 2D)
Time to First Fix: 55 segundos de tipo (inicio en frío) y 35 segundos de tipo (inicio en caliente)
Update rate: 1 second (2D) the most frequent
Memory: 500 waypoints and event markers entered by user, 19 routes up to 20 segments each, one Memorized route and last know position
Operational Modes: 2D mode (with three satellites in lock) and 3D mode (with four satellites in lock)
Power Requirements: 9 - 35 volts DC
Power Consumption: 375 mA without backlight, 675 mA with backlight

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I have problems obtaining a position fix while in use of the GPS what can I do?

A: Check that it was properly initialized and that it has visibility on space for the units to be able to obtain satellites’ signals. If the device has not been used for extended time it may be mainly required to enter the satellite sphere by means of sky search.

Q: In my case the position fixes are considerably offset and I want to see them more accurately how can I optimize that?

A: It would be suggested to improve the accuracy settings by the means of the differential GPS (DGPS) corrections when available to improve accuracy. Ensure to input elevation so as to assist the 2D position fixing.

Q: Are other marine devices compatible with the NAV 5200DX?

A: The NAV 5200 DX is compatible with other devices including autopilots, plotters, radars and sounders which are up to NMEA standard 0180 or 0183.

Q: What is the number of waypoints that can be saved into NAV 5200DX?

A: The device saves up to 500 user defined waypoints and event markers.

Q: What does AUX 13 do to the memory if I decide to erase it?

A: Erasing the memory removes all the waypoints, routes, almanac data, and the initial position that have previously been stored. Re-initialization of the device is therefore paramount.
