SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not open the equipment
unless totally familiar with
electrical circuits and
service manual.
Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
equipment.
Turn off the power at the switchboard
before beginning the installation.
Fire or electrical shock can result if the
power is left on.
CAUTION
Observe the following compass safe
distances to prevent interference to a
magnetic compass:
Use the power cable supplied with the
installation materials.
Use of other power cables may cause fire
or damage the equipment.
Use the proper fuse.
Use of the wrong fuse may damage the
equipment.

1. INSTALLATION
1.1 Display Unit
The display unit may be mounted on a desktop, overhead or flush mounted in a console.
Mounting considerations
Choose a mounting location for the display unit considering the following points:
• Choose a location where the controls can be easily operated.
• Leave sufficient space around the unit to facilitate checking and maintenance. See the
outline drawing at the back of this manual for recommended maintenance space.
• Locate the unit out of direct sunlight because of heat that can build up inside the cabinet.
• The operating temperature range is -15°C to 55°C (5°F to 131°F).
• Locate the unit well away from exhaust gases and other active gases.
• The location should be well ventilated.
• Choose a location where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Be sure the mounting location is strong enough to support the weight of the unit,
particularly in overhead mounting. If necessary reinforce the mounting location.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the display unit is placed too close to the compass.
Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent deviation to the compass.
Standard compass, 0.70 m, Steering compass, 0.45 m.

Mounting
Desktop, overhead mounting
1. Fix the hanger to the mounting location with four self-tapping screws (5X20). See the
outline drawing on page D-1 for complete mounting dimensions.
2. Loosely screw the knob bolts into the display unit.
3. Set the display unit to the hanger and tighten the knob bolts.
4. Attach the hard cover to the display unit to protect the LCD.

Flush mounting
If the thickness of the console is 11-14 mm, use the washer
head screws (M4X20) supplied with the installation materials.
If it is thicker than those dimensions, the length of the screws
should be the thickness of the console plus 7.3 mm ±1.5 mm.
The length of the threaded portion to be inserted to the display
unit should not exceed 7 mm (B≤7).
1. Prepare a cutout in the mounting location using the template provided.
2. Fix the display unit with six washer head screws (M4X20) provided.

1.2 Antenna Unit
Refer to the antenna unit outline drawing at the back of this manual for mounting
instructions.
When selecting a mounting location consider the following points:
• Select a location out of the radar and Inmarsat beams. Those beams will obstruct or
prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal.
• There should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to the satellites. Objects
within line-of-sight to a satellite, for example, a mast, may block reception or prolong
acquisition time.
• Locate the antenna well away from the antenna of a VHF radiotelephone to prevent
interference.
• Mount the antenna unit as high as possible. Mounting it this way keeps it free of
interfering objects and water spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite signal if
the water freezes.
Note: If the antenna cable is to be passed through a hole in a bulkhead which is too small
to pass the connector, disassemble the connector with radio pincers and a monkey
wrench. After passing the cable through the hole assemble the connector as below.

2. WIRING
The figure below shows the basic wiring scheme.

Power source
The power source is a 12-24 VDC battery. Be sure the power cable is tightly fastened to the power
source and the polarity (plus and minus) is correct. Connect the white lead to the positive terminal
(+) and the black lead to the negative terminal (-).

Ground
Connect the ground wire to the boat's grounding bus. If the unit is not grounded, noise may result.
If noise is a problem on an FRP vessel, fasten a ground plate of 20 cm x 30 cm to the outside of
the ship's hull and connect the ground wire there.
Use a closed-typelug ( ) for the connection on the displayunit.Do not use an open-type lug
().

Waterproofing the connector
If you are using the extension cable, connect the cable and then wrap the connector with
self-vulcanizing tape and then vinyl tape to waterproof it. Bind ends of vinyl tape with cable
ties (local supply) to prevent unraveling.

3.3 Calibrating NMEA Depth, Speed and Water
Temperature Data
NMEA speed, depth and water temperature data may be corrected from the GP-7000 if they
cannot be done from the equipment that outputs the data. Enter a minus value if the actual
value is lower than the NMEA data, or a plus value if the actual value is higher than the
NMEA data. For example, if the actual water temperature is 20° and the water temperature
data output by the sensor is 17°, enter +3(°).
1. Press the [MENU] key to show the menu bar.
2. Rotate the [ENTER] knob to choose ADVANCED from the menu bar and then push the
[ENTER] knob.
3. Rotate the [ENTER] knob to choose EXT NMEA and then push the [ENTER] knob.

4. Rotate the [ENTER] knob to choose appropriate item.
DRAFT SETUP: Enter ship’s draft to get NMEA depth from sea surface (instead of
transducer).
SPEED CALIBRATION: Enter offset in percentage points to correct NMEA speed
indication.
TEMP CALIBRATION: Enter offset to correct NMEA water temperature indication.
5. Push the [ENTER] knob. The cursor is selecting the plus sign (or minus sign). If it is
necessary to switch from plus to minus or vice versa, rotate the [ENTER] knob to
choose plus or minus and then push the [ENTER] knob. If not necessary, go to step 6.
6. Push the [ENTER] knob, rotate the [ENTER] knob to set digit and then push the
[ENTER] knob. To clear a line of data, press the [CLR FLD] soft key, which is the third
key from the left of the keys below the screen.
