2.5 BATTERY CONNECTIONS
1. The GPS Chart Plotters are supplied with a fuse and holder. This fuse should be
installed into the Black wire to protect the NMEA Output/Input circuits from possible
damaged.
2. Connect the Red and Black wires from the GPS Chart Plotter to a 12VDC source as
directly as possible.
2.6 NMEA CONNECTIONS
The GPS Chart Plotter can be connected to external devices with NMEA and display
information, examples:
·DSC VHF Radio
·Depth Sounder, Speed Log, Wind Instrument, Autopilot etc.
·Radar (USA ONLY)
·Personal Computer
·AIS Receiver
·MOBILARM System
2.7 GPS POSITION ON A VHF RADIO
STANDARD HORIZON has pioneered Digital Selective Calling (DSC) on VHF Radios.
Advancements in DSC have made it possible to show the coordinates of a vessel that has
transmitteda DSCDistress Call oreven polledthelocation ofanother vessel andshow the
position of that vessel on the display of STANDARD HORIZON VHFs.
STANDARDHORIZON has takenthis feature one step further.If a CP390i isconnectedto
a DSC capable VHF, the vessel in Distress or the polled position of the vessel is shown on
thedisplayoftheGPSChartPlotter,makingiteasytonavigatetothelocationofthevessel.
This is a great feature that could save someone’s life or for anyone wanting to know the
position of another vessel.

2.11 NMEA DATA PAGE
TheNMEA Data pageisvery useful to seeif an external device(example: Depth Sounder)
is transmitting NMEA sentences to the GPS Chart Plotter. This page can also be used to
see if the GPS Chart Plotter NMEA Output is being loaded down by an external NMEA
device the GPS Chart Plotter is connected to. Example: A VHF radio is connected but the
radioisnot receivinga GPSPosition. Usuallythe VHFradio willbe connectedto theGreen
and Brown wires. To check to see if the GPS Chart Plotter is transmitting the sentences:
1. Press [MENU], move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight NMEA DISPLAY and press
[ENT].
2. Move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight DATA and press [ENT].
3. The NMEA DATA page is shown.
4. Connect the Blue Wire on the GPS Chart Plotter to the junction of the Brown wire and
the VHF wire. The display should look similar to the following picture.
