SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not open the equipment
unless totally familiar with
electrical circuits and
service manual.

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.

1. INSTALLATION
1.1 Installation of 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 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, 0.60 m, Steering compass, 0.40 m.

Mounting
Desktop, overhead mounting
1. Fix the hanger to the mounting location with four tapping screws (5X20). See the outline
drawing on page D-1 for mounting dimensions.
2. Loosely screw knob bolts into the display unit.
3. Set the display unit to the hanger and tighten the knob bolts.
Display unit, mounting dimensions for desktop or overhead mounting
4. Insert a rubber cushion in each of the holes at the rear bottom corners (desktop
mounting) or rear top corners (overhead mounting). (This will protect the display unit
from damage if it hits the hanger.)

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).

2. Fix the display unit with six washer head screws (M4X20).

1.2 Installation of 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
Display unit, rear view
Power source
The power source is a 12 or 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(-).

6
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-type lug ( ) for the connection on the display unit. Do not use an
open-type lug ( ).
Antenna cable
Types of antenna cables
The length of the standard antenna cable is 15 m. If a longer length is required, use the
optional antenna cable extension kit, which is available in 30 and 50 m lengths.

CP20-01700 004-372-110 30 m

Connecting the antenna cable
If you are using the antenna cable set, a coaxial connecter is fitted at one end of the cable
as shown below.

Waterproofing the connector
After connecting the antenna cable, wrap the connector with self-vulcanizing tape and then
vinyl tape to waterproof it. Bind ends of vinyl tape with cable ties to prevent unraveling.

NMEA STW: Use NMEA sentence VHW.
Note: An offset may be applied to correct NMEA speed, water temperature or depth
data error (at steps 4, 5 and 6, respectively) if the offset cannot be applied at the
NMEA device. Enter a minus(-) or plus(+) value if the actual value is lower or
higher than the displayed value, respectively. If offset is not required, go to step 7.
