1. General
Thank You for purchasing our ADPC-101 navigation device. Design and production of
this device are developed in compliance with applicable industrial standards for marine use.
This device is mounted on ships with gyrocompasses and logs not capable to generate
current values in NMEA format for navigation equipment needing course and speed data in
digital form.
Device executes the following functions:
Reception of current course value from gyrocompasses with synchro or stepper
interface;
Reception of current speed value from logs with stepper interface or interface on
“closing” contact;
Indication of current speed and course values in built-in display;
Conversion of received data into NMEA-0183 format;
Transmission of converted course and speed data via standard interface (RS-232 and
RS-422/485 ports) to external devices in NMEA-0183 format.
Operating modes of this device are easily tuned by user-friendly menu options and
widely used symbols on keyboard pads.

4. Device installation
Mount unit in easy of access place, for example: vertical wall inside of ship.
Safety precautions
Avoid device sinking in water and water ingress inside device casing.
While disconnecting power supply cable, observe correct procedure for
disconnection of cable contacts, avoid contact with printed circuit board.
Do not use organic solvents during cleaning of device surface to avoid damages of
applied decals.
Prohibited:
to use device in floor-mounted position;
to expose device for mechanical shocks and tensioning of power supply cable;
to use faulty device.
Note:
This device should be mounted at least 1 meter from magnetic compass.
It is recommended to install device in the following order:
remove the device face panel;
firmly secure separated casing without face panel on a vertical wall
route and pass connecting cables from external devices through cable entries;
Arrangement of openings, the spacing between openings and overall dimensions are
indicated in Figure 1.
Caution
The whole equipment being connected to the device must be deenergized for the
period of connection.

Input channels
Converter has four cable entries to route wires from external devices inside the device
and to connect them to relevant terminals of terminal strips.
connect cables to terminal blocks of unit
secure the device face panel on mounted casing;
tighten gland seals of cable entries.
Arrangement of terminal strips on the board and purpose of contacts are stated in Figure
2.
Wiring diagram for power supply source, output contacts of gyro compass, log and
consumers of course and speed values in NMEA format are stated on diagram – Figure 3 and
Figure 4.
1. Inputs for gyro compass
Both types of gyro compass, namely synchro and stepper (pulse) type are connected to
the same optically isolated inputs capable to change switching threshold.
Connector J1,

Inputs: CS1-, CS1+, CS2-, CS2+, CS3-, CS3+, CSR-, CSR+.
1.1 Synchro type gyrocompass.
Synchro type gyrocompass is connected as follows:
output of 1st winding is connected to contacts CS1+, CS3-;
output of 2nd winding is connected to contacts CS2+, CS1-.
