Chapter 1: Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your Apelco GPS11.
This unit is a navigational system consisting of a radio-positioning
receiver making use of signals from the NAVSTAR GPS (Global
Positioning System). The system offers simultaneously, high
accuracy, continuous cover and worldwide availability.
This unit may be operated as a purely standalone system supplied
by its own internal batteries or may be connected to an external
12v supply and integrated with further instumentation via a
NMEA data link.
For fixed installation a bracket is provided to allow secure fixing in
a wide variaty of positions.

Important Information
All Raytheon equipment and accessories are designed to the highest standard
for use in the leisure marine environment.
Their design and manufacture conforms to the latest Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) standards, but good installation is required to ensure that
performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to
ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand
what factors could affect the operation of the product. To avoid the risk of
EMC problems, all Raytheon equipment and cables connected to it should be;
❏ At least 1m (3 feet) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying
radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB
radios, the distance should be increased to 2m (7ft).
❏ At least 20m (66 feet) from large vessels equipped with radar.
❏ More than 2m (7 feet) from the direct path of a radar beam.
The following points should also be noted;
❏ Genuine Raytheon cables should be used at all times. Cutting and
rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and so should
be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.
❏ Raytheon equipment should be serviced only by authorised Raytheon
service engineers. They will ensure that service procedures and replacement parts used will not affect EMC performance. There are no user
serviceable parts in any Raytheon product.
❏ Voltage drops below 10v in the power supply to our products can cause
the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment but will cause
the loss of some information and can change the operating mode. This
most frequently happens during engine starting, and so to reduce the risk
of this occurring, it is recommended that the equipment is supplied from a
different battery than the one used for engine start.
❏ Some products generate high voltages, and so never handle the cables/
connectors when power is being supplied to the equipment.
❏ Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not
affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc.
❏ In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from
being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the
equipment but can lead to it resetting, or momentarily result in faulty
operation.
Please keep these notes for future reference.

Chapter 2: Installation
Chapter 2: Installation
This chapter covers installation of the support bracket and external
cable of the GPS11. If the unit is to be used purely as a standalone
handheld GPS then this chapter may be ignored.
2.1 “Velcro” Strap mounting
The unit is supplied with a “Velcro” strip which may be attached to
the rear case using the lanyard slots. Ensure that the strap is pulled
tight and the end tabs turned back and secured to the main strap.
Attach the fixing strip to the desired surface using glue or double
sided tape or sew the strip onto clothing.
2.2 Bracket Mounting ( GPS11 plus only)
The unit is supplied with a universal mounting bracket (selected
models only) which will allow your GPS to be slotted into a
permanent storage/operating position.
2.2.1 Fixed to a vertical bulkhead
Select your desired position and screw the backplate (1) to the
vertical bulkhead. Slot the main bracket (2) onto the top tab of the
backplate and then push the bottom of the main bracket back, to
allow the supplied finger bolt (3) to secure the base of the bracket.

Apelco GPS11 Installation and Operation Handbook
2.2.2 Fixed to a horizontal surface
The bracket may be fixed such that it may be adjusted vertically
only or such that it may be rotated and adjusted vertically.
For vertical adjustment only screw the backplate (1) to the desired
horizontal surface and then secure the main bracket (2) at the
desired angle using the finger bolt (3).

Chapter 5: Fault Finding & Maintenance
5.1 Fault Finding
If your GPS11 fails to operate check the battery condition and ensure
that the contacts are clean. If an external power source is being used
check the voltage and ensure that the Power/Data plug is clean and
secure.
If the unit powers up but fails to obtain a fix ensure that the unit has a
clear view of the sky. Reception will be affected by buildings, trees
and other objects that restrict the signal from the satellites, it is wise to
check with another GPS operator locally to ensure that the satellite
system is fully operational
In the unlikely event that a fault develops within the unit there are no
user serviceable parts and the complete GPS11 should be returned to
a registered Apelco Service Agent for attention.
