1. SMART DGPS RECEIVER
This SMART DGPS RECEIVER is based on a ultimate 32 + 18 channels GPS engine that
deliversaccuracybetterthanthreemetersbydecodingtheGPScorrectionsignalsfromthe
satellite-based WAAS (North America Wide Area Augmentation System), EGNOS (Euro-
pean Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), MSAS (Asian Multi-Functional Satellite
Augmentation System), GAGAN (Indian Geoaugmented Navigation). The GPS engine,
interface electronics and the passive antenna are enclosed inside the water-proof plastic
housing. This provides advanced state of the art GPS performance in an easy to use
package.

1.2 SOFTWARE INTERFACE
The GPS products interface protocol design is based on the National Marine Electronics
Association's NMEA 0183 Standard For Interfacing Marine Electronic Devices. These
standards are defined in "NMEA 0183 Version 3.01" (for more information see NMEA,
www.nmea.org).

The antenna design also allows for easy flush mounting.
1. Apply the adhesive mounting template sheet in the area that was verified to receive
satellite signal well.
2. Then,followingtemplate instruction,drill a 0,78"(20mm) holeand three 0,13"(3.2mm)
holes.
3. Remove the template and let the cable go through the central hole.
4. Apply a small coat of RTV to the underside of the antenna.
5. Place the antenna and then screw it with the three M3 screws.
Another method:
1. Apply the adhesive mounting template sheet in the area that was verified to receive
satellite signal well.
2. Then, following template instruction, drill a 0,78" (20mm) hole.
3. Apply RTV silicone to the underneath side of the antenna and glue the antenna to the
flush mounting area.
