at any time without warning.
GPS Selective availability (S/A code) was disabled on 02 May 2000 at 04:05 UTC. The
United States government has stated that present GPS users use the available signals at
their own risk.
The U.S. State Department International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) regulations
limit the performance of commercial GNSS products. As a result, access to satellite
measurements and navigation results will be limited from display and recordable output
when predetermined values of velocity and altitude are exceeded. These threshold values
are far in excess of the normal and expected operational parameters of the SF-3050
GNSS Sensor.

SF-3050 GNSS Product User Guide – Rev I
Chapter 1 ................................................................ Getting Started
This chapter provides instructions to enable the robust functionality of the SF-3050.
Confirm that all ordered equipment is delivered. Refer to these tables for detailed lists:
Supplied Equipment: Table 5
Optional Data Cables: Table 13
If any items are missing or damaged, immediately contact NavCom
Customer Support:
Telephone: +1 (310) 381-2000
Web:
http://www.navcomtech.com/Contact/ContactSupport.cfm
Consult your dealer to determine if the SF-3050 is already fully configured.
If it is configured, the SF-3050 is ready to use. To get started, refer only to
the sections below to connect equipment and operate the receiver.
If the SF-3050 is not dealer-configured, the receiver is not operational until
the steps in this chapter are performed.
MED Compass Safe Distance: The
SF-3050 receiver may not be installed closer than 250mm to the ship’s
compass.
Product Configuration Files
All the files needed to set up the ordered configuration of the SF-3050 are included on the
SF-3050 Product Configuration USB Flash Drive (P/N 82-043000-0001). The main
product configuration files are:
Firmware (*.s19): The most current firmware.
Software Options (*.opt): The options enable the functionality of the SF-3050.
Software Options may be purchased in a bundle and/or individually.
StarFire License (*.lic): The SF-3050 is hardware ready for StarFire. The StarFire
License and the StarFire Software Option are required to enable the StarFire
Subscription Service.
The StarFire Software Option is standard for the SF-3050 A, G, S, and M
Software Bundles, and may also be purchased individually. The StarFire
License is a purchased item in addition to the StarFire Software Option.
StarUtil 3000 (Starutil 3000_v0,0,x.exe): NavCom’s Windows-based control program
is used to upload the product configuration files.
USB Driver (navcomx1c45x3050.inf)
User Profiles (*.npt): The SF-3050 is already configured with a factory default User

Profile. If desired, replace the factory default user profile with a predefined profile, or
create a profile. Predefined User Profiles are available on the USB Flash Drive or by
email.
Refer to Chapter 5/User Profiles for details.
Connect Equipment
Figure 1: SF-3050 Rear View
Refer to Figure 1 for the steps below:
1. Use one of the two supplied data cables for communications:
DB9S cable (P/N 94-310260-3006LF): Connect the Positronic connector end to
COM2 - USB at the rear of the SF-3050. Connect the DB9S end to the PC.
Or
USB 2.0 Device cable (P/N 94-310266-3006LF): Connect the Positronic connector
end to COM2 - USB at the rear of SF-3050. Plug the USB plug end into the PC.
, Communication Ports, for details on the ports and Bluetooth connection.
2. Mount the supplied Rover, Base, or Airborne antenna. Locate the antenna in an area
with a 360 clear view of the sky.
Refer to Chapter 4/Antennae for additional considerations and restrictions.
3. Connect the supplied GNSS antenna cable
(P/N 94-310261-3012LF) to the GNSS antenna. Connect the other end of the cable to
the TNC connector, labeled ANT, at the rear of the SF-3050.
Refer to
2
SF-3050 GNSS Product User Guide – Rev I
Table 21 for longer cable lengths.
4. Perform these steps to set up power:
5. Plug the supplied AC power cord (P/N 73-200002-0001LF) into the supplied Universal
AC/DC Power Adapter (P/N 82-020007-3001LF). The adapter operates on either 120
or 240 VAC power.
The purchase of a separate appliance cable may be necessary if the VAC
plug configuration needed is not the standard 2-prong American connector.
6. Connect the female Positronic connector end of the Power Adapter cable into the
male connector, labeled POWER, at the rear of the SF-3050.
7. Plug the AC power cord into an AC receptacle.
8. Press the front panel On/Off switch to turn on the SF-3050 (see Figure 82). All front
panel LEDs illuminate for a period of 3 to 5 seconds during power-up. The
Power/GNSS Status LED changes from Red to Green.
Save Folder/Files to PC
The SF-3050 Product Configuration USB Flash Drive includes:
Root Directory: Software Options File and StarFire License (if purchased)
NavCom Folder: Includes these sub-folders: Firmware, Marketing Materials,
Utilities, User Guides, User Profiles
(The contents of the NavCom folder are subject to change.)
9. Plug the SF-3050 Product Configuration USB Flash Drive into the PC.
10. Browse to the USB Flash Drive.
11. Save the Software Options File, StarFire License (if purchased), and NavCom folder
to the PC.
12. On the PC, create two folders in the NavCom folder for the Software Options File and
the StarFire License (see Figure 2).

other files are available either on NavCom’s website or via
Customer Support.
Establish Communications
13. Browse to Navcom\Utilities\StarUtil 3000 on the PC (see Figure 2).
14. Ensure that these files are in the StarUtil 3000 folder: “StarUtil3000_v0,0,x.exe”
(program executable file), “navcomx1c45x3050.inf” (USB driver), 96-3120073001RevX_Sapphire TRM.pdf, and 96-310029-3001RevX_StarUtil3000.pdf.
The USB driver must be in the same folder as StarUtil 3000 for the USB
port to auto-recognize the SF-3050.
When the SF-3050 is first connected to the PC port, a Windows wizard
opens. Locate and install the “NAVCOMx1c45x3050.inf” file before starting
StarUtil 3000. Also, note the com port number once the install completes.
15. Double-click “Starutil3000_v0,0,x.exe” to open the program.
Figure 3: StarUtil 3000 – Main Window
16. Click the Connections button to establish communications between the PC and the
SF-3050 (see Figure 3). The Port Configuration dialog box opens (see Figure 4).
Refer to Figure 4 for the steps below:

For remote operation, connection to either Com 1 or Com 2 is highly
recommended as a backup to the Ethernet interface. The Com1 or Com 2
backup connection can be made via a cell modem, MOXA to Ethernet, etc.
Determine Current Firmware Versions
The user determines if the most current firmware is installed in the SF-3050. The version
of the installed firmware is important to ensure the proper operation of the receiver.
In StarUtil 3000, checking the contents of the Firmware Info window (see Figure 7) on the
Receiver Options tab is the easiest way to determine if the installed firmware is the most
current. An alternative method is to use the Input Terminal window (see Determine
Firmware Version via the Input Terminal, below).
19. Click Receiver Options on the Detailed Views menu to open the Receiver Options tab
(see Figure 7).
Figure 7: Access to Receiver Options Tab
20. Click (refresh) on the Firmware Info window to view the current output data (see
Figure 8).
The firmware is identified by version number. For example, the NAV
firmware in the example below is version 01.00.00.003. Firmware
ensembles are always referenced to the Navigation Firmware Number.

Open the Readme.txt file for additional information.
22. Compare the current NAV Firmware version in the Firmware folder with the installed
version displayed in the Firmware Info window (see Figure 10).
In the example below, the NAV firmware in the Firmware folder is more
current than the installed firmware. As a result, the user must update the
NAV firmware in the receiver.

Software options may be purchased in a bundle and/or individually. The SF-3050
software bundles are SF-3050A, SF-3050G, SF-3050S, and
SF-3050M. Refer to Chapter 2/ Software Bundles for descriptions of the software options
in each bundle.
Software Options must be uploaded before uploading the StarFire License,
if purchased.
The receiver must be navigating at the time of the software options upload.
