1. MOUNTING
1.1 Display Unit
When selecting a mounting location for GP-170, keep in mind the following points.
• Keep the display unit out of direct sunlight.
• Locate the unit away from air-conditioner or heater.
• The temperature at the mounting location shall be between -15°C and +55°C.
• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents.
• The mounting location should be well ventilated.
• Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal (comply with IEC 60945
Ed.4).
• Keep the display unit away from equipment that generates electromagnetic fields,
such as motor, generator.
• For maintenance and checking purposes, leave sufficient space around the unit and
leave slack in cables. Minimum recommended space is shown in the outline draw-
ing for the display unit.
The GP-170 can be flush mounted in a console or panel, or mounted on a desktop.
Refer to the outline drawing at the end of manual.
1.1.1 Table top mounting
Mount the display unit on a desktop using the hanger.
NOTICE
Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or contact spray to
coating or plastic parts of the equipment.
Those items contain organic solvents that can damage coating and
plastic parts, especially plastic connectors.

1.1.2 Flush mounting, fixed at front
An optional flush mount kit type F is required. For details, see the outline drawing at
end of this manual. (Name: Flush Mount Kit F, Type: OP20-41, Code No.:001-243-
900)
1.1.3 Flush mounting, fixed at rear
An optional flush mount kit type S is required. (Name: Flush Mount Kit S, Type: OP20-
40, Code No.: 001-243-890)
1. Prepare a cutout in the mounting location whose dimensions are 242 (W) X 152
(H) mm.
2. Insert the unit to the cutout.
3. Attach two flush mount metals to the unit with two hex bolts (M6×12) and two
spring washers
4. Screw four wing bolts to wing nut.
5. Fasten the unit with wing bolts assembled at step 4, and then tighten nuts.

1.2 Antenna Unit
1.2.1 Mounting
Install the antenna unit referring to the "INSTALLATION PROCEDURE" at end of
manual. When selecting a mounting location for the antenna unit, keep in mind the fol-
lowing points.
• Select a location out of the radar and inmarsat beams. Those beams will obstruct
or prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal.
• The location should be well away from a VHF/UHF antenna. A GPS receiver is in-
terfered by a harmonic wave of a VHF/UHF antenna.
• The should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to the satellites. An object
within line-of-sight to satellites, for example, a mast, may block reception or prolong
acquisition time.
• Mount the antenna unit as high as possible to keep it free from interfering objects
and water spray. Freezing water can interrupt reception of the GPS satellite signal.

1.2.2 Extending antenna cable length
Extension cable line-up
The standard cable is 15 m long. 30 m, 40 m, and 50 m long extension cable sets are
optionally available.
How to extend the antenna cable
Fabricate the end of antenna cable and attach the coaxial connector, then connect the
antenna cable as shown below.
Waterproofing the connector
Wrap connector with vulcanizing tape and then vinyl tape. Bind the tape end with ca-
ble-tie.

2. WIRING
Connect the equipment, referring to the figure below and the interconnection diagram
at the back this manual.
2.1 Grounding
The display unit contains several CPUs. While they are operating, they radiate noise,
which can interfere with other radio equipment. Ground the unit as follows to prevent it.
• The ground wire should be 1.25sq or larger.
• The ground wire should be as short as possible.
Ground the display unit to
prevent loss of sensitivity
and mutual interference.
