Chapter 1: About SD-GPS (RS120 only) 1
Chapter 1: About SD-GPS (RS120 only)
1.1 Satellite Differential GPS on the Raystar 120
The Raystar 120 Satellite Differential GPS (SD-GPS) Receiver uses the
new satellite differential system to improve the accuracy, integrity and
availability of the basic GPS signals. This provides greater pos itional
accuracy compared with standard GPS receivers (e.g. Raystar 112LP).
Three separate and compatible SD-GPS systems currently exist or are
being developed:
1. Wide Area Augmentation System (W AAS), developed by the
Federal A viation Administration (F AA).
2. European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS),
being developed by a European consortium.
3. MTSA T Satellite-Bas ed Augmentation System (MSAS), being
developed by the Japan Civil A viation Bu reau (JCAB).
1.2 SD-GPS in North America (WAAS)
How SD-GPS works
The following description is based on WAAS, but the same principles
apply to the EGNOS and MSAS networks.
1 About SD-GPS (RS120 only)
As shown in Fi gure 1- 1, the WAAS network consists of:
• ground reference stations across t he USA
• master stations located at East Coast and W est Coast
• two geostationary satellites located above the equator
This network operates in conjunction with the existing GPS s atellites.
The ground reference stations are located at known positions and receive
data continuously from the GPS satellites. The ground reference stations
transmit their data to the master stations, which calculate the error of the
GPS-received positions and generate correctional data.
The master stations send their co rrected ‘differential’ signals to the two
geostati onary sat ellite s whi ch br oadcast the corrected data on the
standard GPS frequency .
2 Raystar 120 & Raystar 112LP GPS Receivers - Owner’s Handbook
1 About SD-GPS (RS120 only)
Figure 1-1: The WAAS System
Y our Raystar 120 SD-GPS Receiver can then use this correctional data to
refine the GPS positional data it receives. This results in improved
accuracy (typically less than 3 metres) comp ared with standard GPS
(typically 15 m) or land-based DGPS (typically 10 m).
Availability of WAAS in North America
The area coverage of W AAS includes the entire United States of America
(see Figur e 1-2).

At the time of going to print, W AAS was bein g tested for aviation use.
During this testing and certification period, continuous servi ce is
expected although brief signal outages may occur as refinements and
upgrades are made to the system.
Information about the status of WAAS and any planned outages are
available via the Raymarine website at:
http://www.raymarine.com
1.3 SD-GPS coverage outside North America
As well as being W AAS compatible, the Raystar 120 i s also compatible
with the SD-GPS networks being developed for Europe (EGNOS) and
Asia (MSAS). The combination of the W AAS, EGNOS and MSAS
systems will provide global satellite based dif ferential GPS
augmentation into the future.
Europe (EGNOS)
At the time o f going to print, EGN OS was in ea rly testing and
qualification phases. As a result, signal outages may occur at any time.
The status of EGNOS and any planned outages are available on-line at
the Raymarine website:
http://www.raymarine.com
1 About SD-GPS (RS120 only)
Satellite differential is currently disabled outside the W AAS reception
area. When EGNOS is qualified for navigational use, we will publish a
procedure on the Raymarine website to enable EGNOS operation.
Asia (MSAS)
An Asian satellite differential syst em (MSAS) is also being developed.
When MSAS is qualified for navigational use, we will publ ish a
procedure on the Raymarine website to enable MSAS operation.
1.4 Accuracy & continuation of broadcast coverage
CAUTION:
The navigational accuracy of equipment using these satellite
broadcast SD signal s during the testing and quali fication phases is
not guaranteed by Raymarine Limited, nor is the continuation of the

Items missing?
If any of the pack items is missing or damaged, please contact your
Raymarine dealer or our Technical Services Department to obtain
replacement parts. Please note that missing or damaged items cannot
be replaced without proof of purchase.
Cabling guidelines
When running cable, always observe the following guidelines:
• if a cable has to be fed through the deck, use a good quality deck gland
• where cables are fed through holes, use grommets to prevent chafing
• secure long cable runs so they do not present a hazard
• wherever possible, route cables away from fluorescent lights, engines
and radio transmitting equipment, as these may cause interference
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) installation
2 Installation
guidelines
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best
industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment.Their
design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to
ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every ef fort has
been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is
important to understand what factors could af fect the operation of the
product.
The guidelines given here describe the conditions for opt imum EMC
performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of
these conditions in all situations. T o ensure the best possible conditions
for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location,
always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items
of electrical equipment.
For optimum EMC perfor mance, we recommended that wherever
possible:
• Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:
• At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment t ransmitting or cables
carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the
case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft (2 m).
Chapter 2: Installation 7
• More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam
can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below
the radiating element.
• The equipment is supplied from a separ ate battery from that used for
engine start. V oltage dro ps below 10 V , and starter motor transients,
can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the
equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may
change the operating mode.
• Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these
cables can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided
unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.
• If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be
removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during ins tallation it must
be reassembled in the same position.
Suppression ferrites
The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with
Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine.
2 Installation
D3548-2
Connections to other equipment
If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using
a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression fer rite MUST always
be attached to the cable near to the Raymarine unit.
8 Raystar 120 & Raystar 112LP GPS Receivers - Owner’s Handbook
2.2 Selecting a suitable location
Receiver location
The Raystar 120/112LP receiver is designed to receive the signals
emitted from satellites in a direct path. It should be mounted:
•On a horizontal surface.
• In a location that is open and clear of any obstructions (such as
masts, search lights, or other structures) that could block line-of-sight
reception of signals.
• As low as possible: the height of the receiver is not as important as it
having a clear view horizon to horizon for optimum signal reception.
In fact, the lower the unit can be mounted and have a clear view to
satellites, the better. The more stable the unit, the more effectively it
will track satellites low to the horizon.
Note: Do NOT mount the receiver up a mast, as the receiver will swing
2 Installation
with the boat, leading to significant COG/ SOG errors.
• As far as possible from any sources of interfer ence: the receiver
should be separated by at least 1 m (3 ft) from other ante nnas and
electronic equipment. It should not be mounted in the direct path of a
radar’s beam.
Mounting options
Y ou can mount the Raystar120/112LP on a pole or flush on a suitable
horizontal surface. When mounting the receiver flush to a surface:
• select a suitable area which allows access to the underside of the
mounting surface for fixing
• avoid areas where the receiver might be trodden upon or where it
might present a tripping hazard
Cabling route
When planning the location for the unit, consider the best route for
running the cable between the receiver and GPS display unit or to the rest
of an integrated system. Ideally , you should try to rout e the cable so it is:
• hidden from view
• separated as far as possible from other cables (to prevent interference)
Chapter 2: Installation 9
2.3 Mounting the receiver
When you have selected a suitable location, follow the relevant
installation instructions for Pole mounting or Surface mounting.
Pole mounting
Note: You will need to obtain a suitable pole with 1 i nch 14 TPI thread.
1. Securely attach the pole mount base to a suitable pole or rail mount
bracket.
2. Pass the cable through either:
A: the center hole of the pole mount base, or
B: the cable exit hole alongside the center hole, or
C: the side exit channel
Note: If you intend to use the side exit channel, remove the two plastic
tabs obstructing the channel. If you do not remove these tabs before
using the cable channel, you could damage the cable.
3. Check the cable is positioned correctly, then secure the receiver to the
pole mount base using the two screws provided.
