2.0 MOUNTING THE GPS CHART PLOTTER
The CP190i and CPF190i are supplied with a swivel mounting bracket which allows them
to be dash mounted. When flush mounting, the optional GPS antenna may be needed to
receive GPS satellite signals. Refer to the images below for Bracket and Flush mounting.
NOTE
TheCP190iand CPF190iaredesigned tobe bracketandflush mounted.Howeverwhen bracket
mounting the CP190i and CPF190i in an area where satellite reception is not possible with the
internal antenna or when flush mounted, the optional GPS antenna must be installed.
2.1 BRACKET MOUNTING
Beforeinstallingensuretheareathebracketismountedto is strong enough to support the
weight of the GPS Chart Plotter especially while under way. After the location is found,
attach the mounting base to the area using the supplied hardware.

Page 18 CP190i and CPF190i
Figure 2.1 - Example of Bracket installation on CPF190i
2.2 FLUSH MOUNTING
The CP190i and CPF190i are supplied with a flush mount template for the cutout hole and
screw holes required to install the GPS Chart Plotter.
NOTE
Before drilling holes make sure there is enough room to mount the GPS Chart Plotter and there
are no obstructions.
Figure 2.2 - Example of Flush installation on CPF190i

CP190i and CPF190i Page 19
1. After a location is found, peel the template label from the backing and apply the label
to the mounting area.
2. Drill a hole in one area of the cutout area that will allow the blade of a jig saw to be
inserted. Insert and cut out the area on the panel using the jig saw.
3. NextdrillthefourholesrequiredtoinserttheGPSChartPlotterwiththemountingstuds.
4. Install the mounting studs on the GPS Chart Plotter and insert into the mounting hole.
5. Attach the GPS Chart Plotter to the mounting location by attaching the supplied
hardware to the mounting studs.

antenna is designed to be mounted on a base, installed on an extension or flush mounted.
Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky and is not located within

in the desired location to verify correct operation. If mounted close to Radar, after the GPS
ChartPlotterhasafix,turnonthe Radar to ensure the GPS Chart Plotter holds the fix (use
the GPS Status Page).

The antenna cable can be cut and spliced to ease installation. Care must be taken when
reconnecting the antenna cable to protect from water and corrosion.
2.3.0 Flush mounting the antenna
NOTE

cable connected to the GPS Chart Plotter and power turned on to ensure a GPS Fix is received.
1. Remove the threaded base from the antenna dome.
2. To ease installation a flush mounting template for the antenna has been included.
3. Apply the mounting template sticker to the area that was verified for GPS reception.
4. Then, drill out the 0.78” (20mm) and 0.13” (3.2mm) holes, and remove the template.
5. Insert the cable into the 0.78” (20mm) hole and route to the GPS Chart Plotter.
6. Apply a small amount or RTV to the underside of the antenna.
7. Place the antenna and then screw it into place using the screws.
NOTE
In some cases the screw may not be long enough. If this happens simply apply more RTV to the
underside of the antenna to glue it into place.

**NOTE: AUTOPILOT CONNECTION
Care must be taken when connecting the GPS Chart Plotter to an Autopilot. Normally Port
3 (Yellow wire) will be used to connect to an Autopilot input, however older autopilots may
not be able to read the sentences due to the talker ID that is being used (II Integrated
Instrument).Ifthe Autopilot connections are made toPort3(Yellowwire) and the Autopilot
