3INSTALLATION
This chapter covers installation of the DPS 200 unit and the GPS/GLONASS and the 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/DGLONASS correction signals.
The installation includes:
1. Location of the system parts (the DPS 200 unit and the GPS/GLONASS antenna )
2. Mounting of the DPS 200 cabinet
3. Installation of the coax connectors
4. Mounting of the GPS/GLONASS antenna and cable
5. Connecting cables between DPS 200 and external equipment
6. System start
7. Editing setup file
3.1 System components
This chapter describes a typical ship installation of the DPS 200 system. A standard system
delivery consists of:
1. DPS 200 unit
2. Cabinet, 6U
3. Keyboard with rollerball
4. IALA Beacon receiver (included in the DPS 200 unit)
5. GPS/GLONASS antenna
6. DGPS Beacon antenna
7. DPS 200 User's Manual
8. DPS 200 Installation Manual
9. DPS 200 Site Manual
10. Interconnection cable
11. Mains cable
12. Antenna mounting rod
Options:
1. Coax cables for GPS/GLONASS and the IALA Beacon antennas
2. Coax connectors
DPS 200 is supplied in different configurations depending on application and specific user
needs. The DPS 200 cabinet contains the DPS 200 unit and the keyboard with rollerball.

In addition to the above supplied parts, the following is needed if external
DGPS/DGLONASS is used:
•Additional cables for input of DGPS/DGLONASS corrections
•Additional cables for output lines to external DGPS/DGLONASS equipment
General Arrangement drawings of the ship should be acquired to simplify GPS/GLONASS
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 location of the DPS 200 unit and the antenna is described below.
3.3.1 DPS 200 unit
The DPS 200 unit is designed for indoor installation and should not be exposed to heavy
vibrations, electromagnetic fields from transformers or similar.
The unit has internal fans and requires free airflow in front and rear of unit. It is recommended
that ventilation/air conditioning is provided in order to keep the ambient operating
temperature around +20°C. It is also important that the area around the unit is kept free from
dust and static electricity.
All connections to the unit are at 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.
