Precautions Upon the Operation
WARNING
Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. Doing so may result in fire,
electric shock, or equipment failure.
Do not allow the display to become wet. Doing so may result in fire, electric
shock, or equipment failure.
Operate the equipment only at the indicated voltage. Failure to do so may
result in fire, electric shock, or equipment failure.
Install this unit at least 1 m away from any magnetic compasses. Installation
near a magnetic compass may result in interference with the magnetic
compass, and may result in an accident.
Do not perform internal inspections or modifications of the equipment.
Inspection or modification by unauthorized personnel may result in fire, electric
shock, or equipment failure. Please consult with JRC or an affiliate to
perform internal inspections or repair.
When disposing of the used lithium battery, place insulating tape over the
battery terminals, or otherwise insulate the battery. Failure to do so may
result in heating, explosion, or fire due to a shorted battery.

iv
Precautions Upon the Operation
CAUTION
Do not use the equipment in environments other than those provided in the
specifications. Doing so may result in equipment failure, malfunction, or
injury.
The dip switches on the unit are all set at the factory, and must not be
changed. Doing so may result in equipment failure, malfunction, or injury.
Do not install the display unit in locations where it may come in contact with
water, oil, or chemicals. Doing so may result in equipment failure,
malfunction, or injury.
Do not install the equipment in places subject to vibration or shock.
Doing so may result in the equipment falling or collapsing, resulting in
equipment failure or injury.
Do not place items on top of the equipment.
Doing so may result in equipment failure, malfunction, or injury.
Please consult with JRC or an affiliate to perform installation. Installation by
unauthorized personnel may result in malfunction.
Only use the specified batteries. Failure to do so may result in battery
leakage or rupture, resulting in fire, injury, or equipment failure.
Use the indicated screws when installing the display unit to a stable wooden
surface. Failure to do so may result in the display unit falling over, causing
injury or property damage.
Use only the specified fuse.
Failure to do so may result in fire or equipment failure.
Use only the specified batteries.
Failure to do so may result in equipment failure or malfunction.

v
CAUTION
Do not bend the cables included with this equipment excessively, or twist them or
subject them to other strong forces. Doing so may result in damage to the
interior or exterior of the cables, and may result in fire or electrocution.
Do not install the equipment in places subject to vibration or shock.
Doing so may result in the equipment failure due to reception problems.
This equipment uses GPS satellite signals to determine the bearing of the ship.
Install the sensor where there are no impediments to electrical signal reception,
and no signal reflection. If the sensor installation location environment is
unsatisfactory, ship bearing calculations is repeatedly interrupted.
If selection of the optimal installation location is difficult, and some concessions
must be made, place the sensor in the desired installation location and test the
acceptability of the sensor results before permanently installing the sensor.
Installing the sensor in an inappropriate location may result in decreased
accuracy and equipment failure.
Whenever possible, select a place having the following characteristics.
Out of the mast's
shadow.
(2 m or more
separation)
2 m or more outside of any radar beams.
Installation near radar antennas may result in multipath wave interference, which decreases the
accuracy of the equipment.
Whenever possible, keep the equipment out of any beams.
Away from the Inmarsat antenna by at least 5 m,
and out of the scope of the beam.
An open space which
allows uniform
reception of satellite
signals.

Section 1 Equipment Overview
1.1 Functions
This equipment determines the heading of a ship by measuring the orientation between two
antennas using the signal from GPS satellites.
The equipment not only determines the heading with high accuracy anywhere in the world and in
all weather conditions using the GPS satellites, but determines the position, course, and speed of
the ship. When the DGPS beacon receiver is connected, the accuracy of position fixing can be
enhanced by receiving correction data from the DGPS beacon station.
Since this equipment outputs the bearing information at high speed, if the unit is interfaced to a
JRC radar unit, it is possible to fully draw the capabilities of the radar and ARPA.
1.2 Features
●High accuracy and high stability (0.5 rms degree)
●Short setting time (less than 2 minutes at warm start fix)
●H
igh speed tracking response (Tracking rate of turn is 45 degree/sec)
●High visibility
5.7-inch FSTN LCD
●Many utility display modes (Compass rose graphics, ROT, NAV, GPS status, etc.)
●Easy installation
●Direct connection to the JRC radars
