Antenna Location Considerations
·Think Security. The location of the antenna is
critical to proper system operation and should be
toughly scrutinized.
·The antenna is able to penetrate up to ½ inch of
solid fiberglass, making way for covert installs.
·Locate the antenna a minimum of two feet away
from metallic obstructions such as hand rails, rod
holders and cleats.
·Choose a location that is not directly under or near
radar arrays to prevent possible interferences.
·Make sure that the underside of the antenna is
accessible to connect the antenna cable. Leave
approximately four inches directly underneath the
antenna to provide space for the connection.
·Mount on a flat horizontal surface.
·The antenna communicates its data to the
Inmarsat® Geostationary based satellite network.
As a general rule, a clear line of site towards the
equator is needed.
·Center Consoles - It is suggested that the antenna
not be installed on T-Tops as they are more
vulnerable for tampering. Popular locations
include forward/aft stringers underneath the
gunwale. Keep away from midship gunwale
mounting as the T-Top could potentially block the
signal from getting out. Figure 1.
·Larger vessels - Often require exposed hardtop or
arch mounting. A ¾ inch hole can be drilled and
sealed under the antenna with silicon. Figure 1
·Whenever possible, dry run the installation
procedure and test the location beforehand. See

Voltage Requirements
The Nav-Tracker 1.0 will operate on either 12 or 24 VDC.
Power Consumption (typical@12V)
Receive 1.5W; Slotted receive 100mW; Transmit 5W
*Do not use a switched power supply that is
normally left off when the boat is idle.
Installation
1.) Thoroughly read the Nav-Tracker antenna
location considerations and mount it according to
this criteria.
2.) Snake antenna cable from antenna to the control
unit and connect the pin arraignment according to
Figure 2+ 3.
3.) Mount the control unit in a discreet and accessible
location.
4.) Connect the power cable to a constant +12-24
VDC and negative Ground. Then plug it into the
control unit.
5.) Connect Antenna connection to the antenna.
6.) There is a light at the base of the antenna Figure
4. Assure that the antenna is rotated to a position
where the light is visible to the installer. When
the unit is first powered up it will initially blink
red, then gradually change to orange, and then
green. The antenna should be blinking green
within about five minutes of startup. If it does
not, confirm that the signal is not getting blocked
and adheres to the location considerations. Make
sure that the keyswitch on the control unit is left
in the 12 O’clock AutoArm position. (Figure 5).
7.) Leave the antenna plugged in. Direct the owner
to the sticker at the bottom of the included user
guide to activate the antenna. Antennas that
remain unactivated for more than two weeks are
automatically sent a disable command. Re-enable
commands can be sent, though immediate
activation is suggested after installation.

Programming your MG Nav-Tracker control box
The MG Nav-Tracker requires the use of two of the
Marine Magellan’s PGM outputs and one zone. One the
backside upper right hand corner of the control box, you will
see two serial numbers one on top of the other. You can
program these serial numbers through Sectional
Programming of the Marine Magellan.
1. Enter Sectional programming by holding down
the “0”key for four seconds. It will prompt you
for a password. Enter “1 1 1 1”. It now prompts
you for a section number “Section [ ]”
2. You must now program the serial numbers of the
PGM into the panel to initialize the geofence and
alarm notifications. Typically we allocate PGM 3
(Section 237) and PGM 4 (Section 238) to this.
Enter Section “237”on the screen. You will now
be prompted for a 6 digit number (Figure 6).
Enter the serial number on the very top right
corner (upper) on the back of the Nav-Tracker
Control Box. After you enter the number it will go
directly to section “238”. Enter the second serial
on the top right corner (lower) in this section
(Figure 6).
3. Continue to press “#’until you are prompted to
the blank section number again. Now press exit,
you are done in sectional programming.
4. Once you are out of sectional programming the
screen should say “Ready to Arm”. Press Menu
and go “4-system setup”enter your installer or
maintenance code (default 0000 and 1111). Go to
“7 - Output Profile”. Press “ok”and continue to
next step.
5. Press next until you see “Modify Output 3”and
press “ok”. It then asks “Delete Output”, select
“no”. “Modify Label”, select “yes”and label this
Output “Geofence Initialization”. “Label OK?”
select yes. For the type, continue pressing next
until you see “Follow Arm”. This will wirelessly
initialize the geofence whenever the system is
armed. Next you are prompted for “Remote
Access”, select “no”. Finally, you are asked if
you want to program “Another Output”; select
“yes”
6. You are now brought to “Modify Output 4”, select
“ok”. It then asks “delete output”, select “no”.
“Modify Label”, select “yes”and label this
Output “Alarm”. For the type, continue pressing
next until you see “Alarm Activation”press “ok”
and select “Follow Alarm”. This will send out an
alarm notification through the Nav-Tracker
whenever the system is in alarm. “Another
Output”select “no”.
7. Press exit until you get back to the main screen.
The MG-Nav-Tracker is now programmed to your
Marine Magellan system.
