3. INSTALLATION
This chapter covers installation of the DPS 132 unit and the GPS and IALA Beacon antennas.
A separate installation manual [5] covers Seastar demodulator installation and connection to
the Inmarsat terminal onboard the vessel for reception of DGPS correction signals.
The installation includes:
1. Location of the system parts (the DPS 132 unit, GPS antenna and IALA Beacon antenna)
2. Mounting of the DPS 132 cabinet
3. Installation of the coax connectors
4. Mounting of the GPS antenna and cable
5. Mounting of the IALA Beacon antenna and cable
6. Connecting cables between DPS 132 and external equipment
7. System start
8. Editing setup file
3.1 System components
This chapter describes a typical ship installation of the DPS 132 system. A standard system
delivery consists of:
1. DPS 132 unit
2. Cabinet, 6U
3. Keyboard with rollerball
4. IALA Beacon receiver (included in the DPS 132 unit)
5. GPS L1/L2 antenna
6. DGPS Beacon antenna
7. DPS 132 User's Manual
8. DPS 132 Installation Manual
9. DPS 132 Site Manual
10. Interconnection cable
11. Mains cable
12. Antenna mounting rod
The DPS 132 unit includes a combined GPS L1/L2 and SBAS receiver. The receiver has 12
GPS channels and 2 SBAS channels. The SBAS signals have the same frequency as the GPS
L1 signals, so only one GPS/SBAS antenna is needed.
Options:
1. Coax cables for GPS and IALA Beacon antennas
2. Coax connectors
DPS 132 is supplied in different configurations depending on application and specific user
needs. The DPS 132 cabinet contains the DPS 132 unit and the keyboard with rollerball.
In addition to the above supplied parts, the following is needed if external DGPS is used:
FSP ref.: A11211400XRBRA0

•Additional cables for input of DGPS corrections.
•Additional cables for output to external DGPS equipment.
General Arrangement drawings of the ship should be acquired to simplify GPS antenna
mounting and to estimate sufficient lengths of cable.
For external interfaces, electrical characteristics and data formats must be provided as well as
necessary cables and connectors.
3.2 Logistics
Safety: General safety guidelines should be followed when working in mast and on deck.
Personnel qualifications: Trained electrical workers.
Minimum number of personnel: 2.
Special tools required: None.
3.3 Location of the system parts
Recommended locations for the DPS 132 unit and the antennas are described below.
3.3.1 DPS 132 unit
The DPS 132 unit is designed for indoor installation and should not be exposed to heavy
vibrations, transformers or similar.
The unit has internal fans and requires free airflow in front and rear of the unit. It is
recommended that ventilation/air conditioning is provided in order to keep the ambient
operating temperature around +20°C. It is also recommended that the area around the unit is
kept free from dust and static electricity.
All connections to the unit are on the rear side of the cabinet and available space for cable
connections and service must be provided.
Since the keyboard is located in the cabinet, the distance between the monitor and the cabinet
should be limited to a practical range where the monitor may be seen and read from the
position of the cabinet.
Note The recommended keyboard cable length is 3.3 m (10 feet) maximum without
degradation. If longer keyboard cable is needed, please use keyboard extender.
