Safety Instructions for the Installer
WARNING
Do not work inside the
equipment unless totally
familiar with electrical
circuits.
Hazardous voltage which can
shock, burn or cause serious
injury exists inside the equip-
ment.
Turn off the power at
the mains switchboard
before beginning the
installation.
Post a sign near the
switch to indicate it
should not be turned on
while the equipment is
being installed.
Fire, electrical shock or
serious injury can result if the
power is left on or is applied
while the equipment is being

1. INSTALLATION
1.1 Installation of Display Unit
Mounting considerations
The display unit can be installed on a tabletop, on the overhead or flush mounted in a
console or panel.
OverheadTabletopHard Cover
Tabletop, overhead mounting methods
When selecting a mounting location for the display unit keep the following in mind:
• Keep the display unit out of direct sunlight.
• The temperature and humidity should be moderate and stable.
• 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.
• Keep the unit away electromagnetic field generating equipment such as motor, generator.
• For maintenance and checking purposes, leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of
the unit and leave slack in cables.
• Amagnetic compass will be affected if placed too close to the display unit. Observe the
following compass safe distances to prevent disturbance to the magnetic compass:
Standard compass: 0.5 meters
Steering compass: 0.3 meters

Flush mounting
Note: Use supplied pan head screws when the thickness of the bulkhead is from 11 to 14
mm. For bulkhead which exceeds 14 mm in thickness the length of the pan head
screws should be bulkhead thickness plus 7.3±1.5 mm.Also the length of B should
max. 7mm.

1.2 Installation of Antenna Unit
Mounting considerations
Install the antenna unit referring to the installation diagram on page D-3 or D-4. When
selecting a mounting location for the antenna unit, keep in mind the following points:
• Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent reception
of the GPS satellite signal.
• The location should be well away from a VHF antenna.A GPS receiver is interfered by a
harmonic wave of a VHF antenna.
• 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.
• Mount the antenna unit as high as possible. Mounting the antenna unit as high as
possible keeps it free of interfering objects and water spray, which can interrupt reception
of GPS satellite signal if the water freezes.
• If the antenna cable is to be passed through a hole which is not large enough to pass the
connector, you may unfasten the connector with a needle nose pliers and 3/8-inch
open-end wrench. Refasten it as shown in the figure below after running the cable
through the hole.

Antenna unit
Connect the antenna cable to theANT connector.
Ground
The display unit contains several CPUs. While they are operating, they radiate noise, which
can interfere with radio equipment. Ground the unit to prevent interference. The grounding
wire should be 1.25 sq or larger and as short as possible. Connect the grounding wire to
ship's ground. On a fiberglass boat, it is best to install a ground plate that measures about
20 cm by 30 cm on the outside of the hull bottom to provide a ground point. If this is not
practical, the engine block can be used.
Ground the equipment to
prevent electrical shock
and mutual interference.
CAUTION
Note: Use a “closed” lug to make the ground connection at the display unit. Do not use an
“open-type” lug ( ).
Extending antenna cable length
The standard cable is 10 m long. For extension, in case of the GPA-019S or GPA-017S, an
antenna cable set of 15m, 30 m or 50 m is available. Extension cable cannot be used with
the GPA-017 or GPA-019.
