Precautions Upon Equipment Operation
Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. Failure
to observe the instruction can cause a fire, electric
shock, or equipment failure.
Do not connect or disconnect the power supply cable
with a wet hand. Otherwise, you may suffer from an
electric shock.
Operate the equipment only at the power supply
voltage of 12 or 24 VDC. Failure to observe this
instruction can cause a fire, electric shock, or
equipment failure.
Do not scratch, damage, or modify the power supply
and antenna cable. It may be damaged to cause a fire
or electric shock if it is loaded with a heavy item, heated,
pulled, or excessively bent.
Do not operate the equipment while steering the
vessel. It can cause accidents.
Immediately turn the power off and disconnect the
power supply cable if the equipment is generating any
smoke or odor, or found overheated. Then, promptly
inform our local service agent of the symptom to have
it corrected. Prolonged equipment operation under
such a condition can cause a fire or electric shock.

This equipment is not designed to automatically make
judgments on the position data. The navigation
information including the position data needs to be
judged by the user himself.
Do not allow the equipment to fall or immerse in water.
The equipment can be damaged.
When removing the power and antenna cord, be sure
to remove the cord terminal correctly. If the cord is
pulled, the cord may be damaged resulting in a fire or
an electrical shock.
When cleaning the surface, do not use any or-
ganic solvent such as thinner or benzine.
Otherwise, the painting on the surface may be
damaged.
For cleaning the surface, remove the dust and
refuse and wipe with clean dry cloth.

Key Terms
TermDescription
GPS satellites The term is an acronym that represents the Global Positioning System,
which is managed by the US Department of Defense to support its
navigation aid system.
DGPS The term is an acronym that represents the Differential Global
Positioning System, which is a system to improve the position fixing
accuracy by receiving the correction data with a beacon receiver for a
given GPS satellite, which is transmitted by the beacon station with a
known position.
Position fixing The term means to obtain the current position of your vessel with the
GPS or DGPS receiver.
2D (Two-dimensional position fixing) The term 2D means the position fixing with data obtained from the satel-
lites and antenna height information.
3D (Three-dimensional position fixing) The term 3D means the position fixing with four or more satellites infor-
mation only.
HDOP The term is an acronym that represents the Horizontal Dilution of
Precision, which reflects the position fixing accuracy. The accuracy
increases as the value decreases.
The value increases when the satellites are gathered close to each other,
and it reduces when the satellites are spattered, which in turn means
increased accuracy.
Loran time difference display This is a method to display the current position using the time difference.
(This method is recommended for the experts who have good knowl-
edge on the Loran navigation method.)
TD The term is an acronym that represents the Time Difference, which is
equal to the time difference between the master and secondary Loran
signals.
Route plan This is the plan that consists of the multiple waypoints registered in the
order of navigation.
CDI The term is an acronym that represents the Course Deviation Indicator,
which includes information on the deviation from a given planned course
and direction to be steered.

JLR-7700 MK2GPS Navigator
Arrival alarm The alarm notifies that your vessel has arrived at the preset distance
from a given destination.
Anchor alarm The alarm notifies that your vessel has drifted away from the destination
by the preset distance.
Off-course alarm The alarm notifies that your vessel has been deviated from the planned
course by the preset distance.
Boundary alarm The alarm notifies that your vessel has crossed the preset boundary
line.
Automatic sequencing mode The function automatically switches the next destination after your
vessel has entered the preset arrival alarm range during the navigation
according to the route plan.
Manual sequencing mode The function allows the operator to manually change to the next leg by
operating the keys provided on the equipment during the navigation based
on the route plan.
Default values The values represent the factory settings.
NMEA 0183 This is a standard specified by an international organization called the
National Marine Electrical Association (NMEA) to specify the
requirements for the communications among various navigator.
Master reset The function clears all the settings on the equipment and the NNN-4321
DGPS receiver connected to it. Note that all the settings will be cleared
if the function is performed.
Initialization A maximum duration of 2 minutes is required for position fixing if the
equipment is to be operated for the first time after the installation or the
master reset function has been performed. The initialization can be
reduced the time for position fixing by manually entering the estimated
position, time, and antenna height.
Course A direction obtained by connecting the positions tracked by the vessel,
which is mainly the direction displayed by the GPS.
Bearing An angle formed between the local meridian and the orientation of the
bow during the navigation, which is mainly displayed on the gyro or
magnetic compass.

1. Equipment Overview
1.1 Functions
The JLR-7700 MK2is a DGPS navigation equipment configured by connecting the NNN-4331 DGPS re-
ceiver to the NWZ-4570B navigator. The DGPS navigation equipment measures the vessel position all the time
with very high accuracy using the data provided by the GPS satellites under any geographical or weather
conditions and its measurement accuracy can be further enhanced by receiving compensation data from the
DGPS beacon station. The equipment displays the following navigation screens and GPS statuses based on
data retrieved by the DGPS receiver.
(1) Navigation screens
These screens display the navigation information to go to the destinations that have been preset to the
equipment.
(2) Satellte status screens
Screen name Remarks
NAVIGATE screen The current position is displayed with the latitude and longitude. Information required
for navigation, such as the bearing, distance, course, and speed to the destination,
can also be displayed. Other navigation information, such as the deviation from the
preset navigation course, direction to steer, and estimated time of arrival to the
destination can be displayed. In addition, the Loran time difference can also be
displayed as well.
COURSE The course deviation can be graphically shown on the display by selecting the CDI on
DEVIATION IND. the NAVIGATE screen. In addition, the direction to steer will also be displayed.
screen
PLOT screen The planned navigation course and actual navigation tracked by your vessel can be
graphically displayed. The waypoints can be displayed with symbols and alphabets.
The current position can be registered as the waypoint by simply pressing the
key.

EVENT
Screen name Remarks
SAT STATUS Which provides the operator with the GPS information (the satellite number, elevation
screen angle, azimuth angle, and signal level).

12
JLR-7700 MK2GPS Navigator
1.2 Features
・The equipment can be operated with ease by simply selecting the menu displayed on the screen.
・A large LCD ensures simultaneous display of various navigation information required, which in turn
eliminates the necessity for frequently switching the display.
・NNN-4331 DGPS receiver for differential position fixing offers a higher accuracy position.
・A maximum of 499 waypoints can be stored.
・Each waypoint can be displayed with alphanumeric.
・Two data outputs are available and either one of the NMEA 0183 versions 1.5 or 2.1 can be selected. Note
that one of the two outputs is of RS422 level.
・The position information obtained by the GPS can be displayed in the Loran time difference as well.
・The graphically displayed COURSE DEVIATION IND. screen enables the operator to determine the steering
direction by simply taking a look at it, which in turn ensures safety and economical navigation. In addition,
the symbols attached to the respective waypoints can be displayed on the PLOT screen besides the actual
navigation tracked by your vessel.
・The equipment can display information either in Japanese or English.
・Local weather and sea conditions in coastal sea areas of Japan can be displayed.
