GPSMODULE
INSTALLATION
TheOPSmodule canbeinstalled onaflatsurface or(with
thesupplied
adapter)on apole. Mountthemodule in an areathat guarantees a
clearviewoftheskyatalltimes. Inorderforthemodule toreceive the
signalsfromthesatellites, itmustnotbeobstructed. An ideal location
is on a cabinroof,ordeck. Thegunnels also make agood location.
Attachingthe pole mountingadapter lets you install the module on a
one inch mast. However, forlightning protection, theantenna shouln't

SurfaceMounting
-WithAccess
If you haveaccess underneath the
mounting surface, use the gasket
supplied with the GPSmodule as a
template. Drillfour5.5mm (7/32")
holesand one 17 mm (11/16") hole
for the module's cable. Attach the
cable to the module and pass it
down
through
theholein thegasket
and the mounting surface. Use 5
mm screws, flat washers, and lock
washers tofasten the OF'S module

SELECTNMEA
The GlobalNav II sends data outthewhite wire on the powercable
according tostandards set bythe NMEA (National Marine Electronics
Association). Thisallows theGlobalNav IItosendposition, depth,
and
navigation informationto'listener" units,suchaschartinginstruments,
autopilots, and othermarine instruments. The GlobalNav II uses the
followingNMEA data protocols: NMEA0180 and 0183. NMEA 0180
sends
steering
informationonly. It'suseful mainlyforautopilots. NMEA
0183 sends position, steering, speed, and more. In orderto usethis
