Warning!
Electronic charts displayed by the chartplotter are believed to be accurate and reliable, but they are not
intended to substitute for the official charts which should remain your main reference for all the mat-
ters related to the execution of a safe navigation.
For this reason we would like to remind you that you are required to carry on board and use the
officially published and approved nautical charts.
Caution
Please read through this manual before the first operation. If you have any questions, please contact
the Company customer service or your local dealer.
The chartplotter is not built water proof. Please give attention to avoid water intrusion into the
chartplotter. Water damage is not covered by the warranty.
Extensive exposure to heat may result in damage to the chartplotter.
Connection to the power source with reversed polarity will damage the chartplotter severely. This
damage may not be covered by the warranty.
The chartplotter contains dangerous high voltage circuits which only experienced technicians can
handle.
The C-MAP C-CARD are available from your local dealer.
We will not be liable for errors contained herein, or for incidental or consequential damages in
connection with the performance or use of this material.
Exposure of display to UV rays may shorten life of the liquid crystals used in your plotter. This
limitation is due to the current technology of the LCD displays.
Avoid overheating which may cause loss of contrast and, in extreme cases, a darkening of the screen.
Problems which occur from overheating are reversible when temperature decreases.
Cleaning procedure for the plotter screen
Cleaning of the plotter screen is a very important operation and must be done carefully. Since the
surface is covered by a antireflective coating, the procedure for cleaning all the surfaces can be per-
formed using the following procedure: You need a tissue or lens tissue and a cleaning spray containing
Isopropanol (a normal spray cleaner sold for the PC screen, for example PolaClear by Polaroid). Fold
the tissue or lens tissue into a triangular shape, moisten the tip and use the index finger behind a corner
to move the tissue across the surface, in overlapping side to side strokes. If the tissue is too wet, a
noticeable wet film will be left in its path and you will need to repeat the process. If too dry, the tissue
won’t glide easily, and may damage the surface.

Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the chartplotter!
If you have not used a position-finding instrument before and intend to use
your chartplotter for navigating, we suggest you should read this User Manual and
make sure you are familiar with its contents.
The User Manual is divided into three main parts. Chapter "Before You
Begin" introduces you to the basic information to get you start using the chartplot-
ter. Chapter "For the New User" should be read first to become familiar with your
new instrument. Chapter "For the Experienced User" introduces the advanced fea-
tures of the chartplotter.
1.1 CONVENTIONS
Throughout this User Manual, the labelled keys are shown in capitals letters
enclosed between single inverted commas, for example 'MENU'.
Menu operations are in bold characters listed by keys sequence with the
menu names enclosed between inverted commas, for example 'MENU' + "BASIC
SETTINGS" + 'ENTER' + "INPUT/OUTPUT" + 'ENTER' means: press the
'MENU' key, using the cursor key select the Basic Settings menu and press 'ENTER',
using the cursor key select the Input/Output menu and press 'ENTER'.
Terms underlined, for example Mark, are explained in the Appendix "Terms".
1.2 FEATURES
The chartplotter is a computer specifically designed for nautical use but, more
12 User Manual
precisely, to ease and speed up all calculations, which so far have been done manu-
ally. If connected to a positioning instrument, the chartplotter displays the current
position, the speed, and the heading of the boat and its Track. The user information
like Waypoints, Marks and Tracks can then be stored on a User C-CARD and can be
recalled at any time. On the screen are shown navigation data and cartographic in-
formation obtained from electronic charts of C-MAP C-CARD.
When the package containing the chartplotter is first opened, please check it
for the following contents (if any parts are missing contact the dealer the chartplot-
ter was purchased from):
•External quick disconnect bracket and I/O cable 1,5 mt/5.9"
•Chartplotter's protective cover
•Fuse 2 Amp. + fuseholder
•User Manual
Note ONLY FOR PANORAMIC 8 SUN
The package contains the following parts too: Flush mounting kit; Smart DGPS WAAS Receiver
with cable 15 mt/45 feet.
C-MAP C-CARD (cartography data cards) are available through your local
dealer. For additional information on C-MAP Cartography visit web site at www.c-
map.com.

move a cursor across the screen. As you press a key, a single audio beep confirms the
key action; every time the key pressed is not valid, three rapid beeps sound indicates
that no response is available.

2.6 ADDITIONAL C-CARDS
The chartplotter uses two types of C-MAP cartridges: either a chart cartridge
or a data storage cartridge. A chart cartridge, called C-CARD, contains detailed charts
of the area covered. A data storage cartridge, called User C-CARD can be used to
permanently store your Routes, Waypoints, Marks, Events and Tracks (see Par. 4.6).
Note
During normal operations the C-CARD should not be removed since the chart plotter may lock
up.

Note
When naming a file, you may have trouble finding a name that uniquely identifies the file's
contents. Dates, for example, are often used in filenames; however, they take up several characters,
leaving you with little flexibility. The secret is to find a compromise, a point where you can
combine a date with a word, creating a unique filename. The maximum length of the filename
is 8 characters. The characters may be numbers (0, ..., 9), letters (A, ..., Z) and spaces (for example
legal identifiers are "ABC", "AA", "12121212", "A B C", "1 A 1", and so on.

4.6 C-LINK
C-Link system is a feature which allows to sharing the same cartographic
data between two chart plotter units (CP) linked via serial I/O port.
In order to activate C-Link function, a “MAX data C-CARD” (called REGU-
LAR C-CARD) must be inserted into one of the two chart plotters and a special
MAX data C-CARD (called MIRROR C-CARD) must be inserted on the other
chart plotter.
The two MAX data C-CARDs must have the same code and revision. So, the
MIRROR C-CARD can be utilized only on a chart plotter linked to another chart
plotter provided with the equivalent REGULAR C-CARD.
It is important to point out that the two chart plotters must have the update
s/w versions that allow C-Link function.
4.6.1 HOW C-LINK SYSTEM WORKS
When the CP is powered up, it switches into the “Stand-Alone Mode”. In
this work mode, the CP unit periodically scans all the available C-CARD slots search-
ing for MIRROR C-CARDs.
When one or more MIRROR C-CARD is found (in one or both CPs) a
special connection is established between the CPs to abilitate the MIRROR C-CARDs.
If a regular C-CARD which has previously activated a MIRROR C-CARD is re-
moved, even the MIRROR card will be not read anymore on the other unit.
4.7 C-LINK NAVIGATION DATA TRANSFER
This function allows transferring C-Link navigation data (Route Name, Des-
tination ID & Position, Next Waypoint ID & Position, Total Route length, Fuel
Consumption Rate, ETA, TTG etc.) (Hereinafter “C-Link navigation data”) between
two chart plotters linked through the C-Link system.
74 User Manual
The chart plotters can be set to operate in two modes:
- MASTER mode (Primary Chart Plotter that sends data)
- SLAVE mode (Secondary Chart Plotter that receives data)
When the navigation is activated on the Master chart plotter, the C-Link
navigation data will be continuously sent to the Slave until the navigation is active.
If the Master is navigating to a Single Destination, the Slave will show the
Destination position and activate the navigation to it. If the Master is navigating to a
Route, the Slave will show the Route Leg composed by the Destination and the
Waypoint after the Destination (Next Waypoint) and activate the navigation to it.
Any variation to the current C-Link navigation data will be transferred from the
Master to the Slave. The Slave will be provided with a few dedicated pages to show
the C-Link navigation data received from the Master.
4.7.1 OPERATIONS
4.7.1.1 Introductive elements
It is important remark, once more, that this function does not transfer the
whole route but just the information relative to the navigation. Such information
will be removed from the Slave Chart Plotter as soon as the navigation is terminated.
C-Link navigation data is exchanged by using two NMEA-0183 C-MAP pro-
prietary sentences: $PCMPN,1 and $PCMPN,2. When the navigation is activated
on the Master, it starts outputting the C-Link navigation data. If the Slave is con-
nected, all c-link navigation data received are stored in its memory and the naviga-
tion is started. The information sent by the Master consists of the following values:
- Navigation mode (To Single Destination / to a Route )
- Route Name (*)
- Destination ID
- Destination Position
- Next Waypoint ID (*)
- Range from Destination to next Waypoint (*)
- Bearing from Destination to next Waypoint (*)
- Route Length (*)
- Distance from Destination to Last Route Waypoint (*)
- Remaining Route Legs (*)
- Planned Cruising Speed
- Average Fuel Consumption
- Initial Fuel Load
75
User Manual
C-Link navigation data can refer to:
- Single Destination navigation
- Route Following navigation.
Values identified by (*) are sent only for Route Following navigation.
The Destination Icon, Navigation leg (Fix Position to Destination), the Next
Waypoint Icon and all other relevant C-Link navigation data will be shown on the
Slave chart plotter. Any variation of the C-Link navigation data on the Master will
be communicated to the Slave so to keep data aligned on both devices.
4.7.1.2 C-Link serial connection
The two chart plotters should be connected via serial ports. Any of the avail-
able ports can be used, the software will recognize automatically the serial ports
used. A typical connection is as follows:
CP1 CP2
TX —————> RX
RX <————— TX
GND <————> GND
4.7.1.3 Master Chart Plotter
Operating mode
To select the Master mode (Primary Station) follow the procedure:
'MENU' + "BASIC SETTINGS" + 'ENTER' + "INPUT/OUTPUT" + 'ENTER' +
"C-LINK" + 'ENTER' + "Primary Station" + 'ENTER'
Master mode is the default factory setting. All regular chart plotters func-
tions are allowed. As soon as the Destination is placed, the master chart plotter will
start transmitting all C-Link navigation data. In Master mode the C-Link navigation
data received from the NMEA port is ignored. So, if the two chart plotters are both
operating in Master mode, the C-Link navigation data sent by the other chart plotter
never processed. Under such condition if the navigation is activated on one of the
two chart plotters, a warning message will be shown to notify that the C-Link navi-
gation data will be ignored by the other chart plotter.
4.7.1.4 Slave Chart Plotter
Operating mode
To select the Slave mode (Secondary Station) follow the procedure:
'MENU' + "BASIC SETTINGS" + 'ENTER' + "INPUT/OUTPUT" + 'ENTER' +
"C-LINK" + 'ENTER' + "Secondary Station" + 'ENTER'
76 User Manual
When Slave mode is set, the chart plotter cannot manipulate the C-Link
navigation data anymore.
Stop current navigation
If the navigation was already active, it will be disabled as soon as Slave mode is set.
An appropriate warning message will be shown to notify that the Navigation is
already active and to confirm whether Slave mode can be set.
Inhibit Navigation operation
As soon as Slave mode is set, the destination cannot be placed anymore either the
C-Link navigation data is received from the Master or not. Also, when the C-Link
navigation data is received from the Master, it will not be allowed to deactivate the
Navigation.
Inhibit Route following
While navigating to the route received from the Master the destination is reached
(either applying distance or perpendicular criteria), the destination will not be moved
to the next Waypoint on the route.
MOB handling
If the Navigation to the external destination is active and the MOB key is pressed on
the Slave Chart Plotter, the MOB is placed but the navigation to the MOB is not
activated.
Notes
While navigating to the external destination the Operating Mode is switched to Master
mode, the navigation to the external destination will be terminated. An appropriate
warning message will be shown to notify that the Navigation to the external destina-
tion is active and to confirm whether Slave mode can be set. Setting Slave mode,
the C-Link navigation data will be deleted.
The C-Link navigation data are deleted at Power Off.
4.7.1.5 C-Link navigation data: Acquisition and Display
As soon as the C-Link navigation data is received, the Slave parses the informa-
tion received and executes the relative actions depending on its current working status.
Important
When the Navigation to the external Destination is activated, the Slave Chart Plotter will show all
relevant C-Link navigation data exactly like when the destination is not the external one:
(Destination Name, DST and BRG to Destination, calculate XTE, calculate TTG etc). These values
will be displayed all places where required and they will be used to format NMEA-0183 output data.

since the compass of the boat must be compensated (due to the iron masses, ...), we
use the same values given by the chartplotter. This means that, for example, if the
BRG to the next Waypoint readout in the chartplotter display is "X" Mag degree, if
you steer the boat reading "X" Mag degree from the compass, you are driving well
toward the next Waypoint.

5.5.5 GROUNDING ALARM (GUARDIAN TECHNOLOGY)
The chartplotter is provided with a function that, by querying the map's data,
verifies potential danger to navigation due to shallow water, land, rocks, obstructions
and shoreline constructions. The maps are scanned periodically (every 10 seconds).
When the Grounding Alarm is active, the chartplotter scans an area in front
of the boat. This area is identified by a triangle drawn in front of the boat icon whose
direction is determined by the current boat heading. The length of the triangle is
user selectable and its angle is 30 degrees. If any of the above objects are found, the
chartplotter notifies the danger on a dedicated warning message box in the Ground-
ing Alarm Report page (see Par. 5.5.7).
The Grounding Alarm is switched Off by default after a Master Reset. Once
the Grounding Alarm has been activated, a warning message is shown.

5.7 AIS MENU
AIS is an Automatic Identification System. It has been introduced to im-
prove the safety of navigation by assisting in the efficient operation of ship-to ship,
ship reporting and VTS applications. The system should enable operators to obtain
information from the ship automatically, requiring a minimum of involvement of
ship’s personnel, and should have a high level of availability. AIS transponders in-
stalled on IMO vessels use VHF frequencies to:
•Transmit details of their own vessel
•Receive details from other vessels or navigation aids within VHF range.
Information being transmitted from vessels over 300 tons that, due to recent
worldwide legislation, are required to fit Class “A” AIS transponders.
Connecting to the chart plotter an AIS receiver (please contact your local
dealer), vessels with AIS transponder within VHF range are displayed on screen
giving the skipper or navigator a visual interpretation of the data of nearby vessels.
This improves safety, and specifically for collision avoidance reasons.
5.7.1 AIS SYSTEM DEFINITIONS
•Target
It is a vessel equipped with AIS. Information about the targets is being re-
88 User Manual
ceived by AIS Receiver and displayed on the screen.
•CPA
Closest Point of Approach is the closest distance that will be achieved be-
tween your vessel and the tracked target, based on your vessel’s speed and
direction and the target’s speed and direction.
•CPA Limit
This is the distance from your vessel that a target may reach before a target is
deemed a threat.
•CPA Alarm
Occurs if CPA is less or equal to CPA Limit. This test is done for active
targets only.
•TCPA
Time to closest Point of Approach is the time remaining until the CPA will
occur.
•TCPA Limit
This is the time remaining before the CPA is reached.
•TCPA Alarm
Occurs if TCPA is less or equal to TCPA Limit. This test is done for active
targets only and if CPA value is less or equal to CPA Limit.
•Radio Call Sign
International call sign assigned to vessel, often used on voice radio.
•Name
Name of ship, 20 characters.
•MMSI
Maritime Mobile Service Identity.
•MMSI number
A unique 9 digit number that is assigned to a DSC radio station. It primarily
registers the boat information in the U.S. Coast Guard’s national distress
database for use in emergency situations.
•Active Target
Target located within the Activation Range. Active target is represented by
oriented triangle with COG and Heading vectors. Rate of turn may also be
displayed.
•Dangerous Target
Target detected by CPA or TCPA Alarm. Dangerous target is Active Target
by definition. For better visibility Dangerous Target symbol is flashing.
•Sleeping Target
Target located outside the Activation Range. Sleeping target is represented by
a small oriented triangle.
89
User Manual
•Lost Target
When the AIS info is not received from that vessel for 3.5 minutes. The
presentation will be a flashing black triangle with a cross through.

6.5 TROUBLESHOOTING
The following is a brief guide to some of the problems you may experience
while using the chartplotter with common solutions.
6.5.1 PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
The chartplotter does not turn On — Make sure that the correct voltage (10-35
volt dc) is present. Check also that the polarity is correct. Refer to the Par. 2.2.
The chartplotter does not turn Off — If, after a 'POWER' pressure (for at least 3
seconds) the chartplotter does not turn Off, then turn Off the voltage.
The chartplotter does not respond to any command — Try to turn Off, and then
turn On. If the problem persists, erase the memory (see Par. 6.6.1).
The chartplotter does not get a valid fix — Make sure that no metal obstacle is
placed around the chartplotter acting as a shield for the antenna. If, after 15 minutes,
the chartplotter does not get the fix, turn it Off and On again.
100 User Manual
The chartplotter screen becomes very dark after a long exposure to direct sun-
light — Control the contrast (see Par. 2.3).
6.5.2 QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
It is available an help on line to explain as the chartplotter works:
'MENU' + "HELP" + 'ENTER'
Using 'ZOOM IN' and 'ZOOM OUT' select previous and next page respectly.
6.5.3 IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE
The list above should allow you to solve most of the operating problems you
are likely to encounter. Simply disconnecting the chartplotter from power for a
moment may solve your problem as well.
If this does not help, you can try one additional memory clear option. This
is a factory default RAM Clear that should only be tried after all other attempts have
been made. When using the RAM Clear feature, you will loose all user stored infor-
mation and the chartplotter will default to factory settings. Before this step, you
have the option of saving user Marks, Track history and Routes to a User C-CARD
(this is an optional purchase from your dealer). To perform a RAM Clear see Par.

Ter ms
This section explains the terms that may be unfamiliar to the reader.
Advanced Mode
The chartplotter can operate in two different modes: Basic Mode and Advanced Mode. In Advanced
Mode it is possible to have more available functions, for example it is possible to handle Waypoints.
AIS
AIS is an Automatic Identification System. It has been introduced to improve the safety of navigation
by assisting in the efficient operation of ship-to ship, ship reporting and VTS applications.
Altitude
Altitude of GPS Antenna on the medium sea level.
Arrival Time
The estimated time of day you will reach your destination, based on your current speed and track from
GPS.
Attention Areas
Attention Areas are areas in which special attention by the mariner is required, because of natural or
man-made hazards, or sailing regulations and restrictions. Moreover a special symbol (!) is placed inside
the area selecting On option. This is valid also for the categories: FISHING FACILITY, MARINE
FARM/CULTURE, MILITARY PRACTICE AREA, RESTRICTED AREA, SEAPLANE LAND-
ING AREA. When the area is small, it is identified only by the boundary.
Azimuth
The angular measurement from the horizon to a satellite or another object.
Basic Mode
The chartplotter can operate in two different modes: Basic Mode and Advanced Mode. In the first
mode there is a restricted number of functions, and it is not possible to handle Waypoints, Marks,
Events and A-B-C-D function.
Beacon
A prominent, specially constructed object forming a conspicuous vertical mark as a fixed aid to navigation.
Buoy
A floating object moored to the sea bottom in a particular (charted) place, as an aid to navigation.
Buoys and Beacons
Buoys and Beacons are used to indicate to mariners recommended or established routes, underwater
dangers, restrictions and regulations. They can be lighted or not and - for the color chartplotter - are
colored according to their international code.
106 User Manual
BRG = Bearing
It is the angle between the North (True or Magnetic) and a destination. It represents the direction to
follow.
Chain
Selects the preferred chain. The Loran chains are groups of transmitting stations that use timed radio
pulse transmissions. In each of these chains there is a master station and two or more slave or secondary
stations. Stations belonging to a same chain transmit pulses in timing groups: a different time base
identifies each chain. The time base of each chain is the Group Repetition Interval or GRI. This GRI
identifies the chain in unique mode. For example the GRI = 4990 identifies the chain of Central Pacific
zone.
Chart Lock
When Chart Lock is On, the available zoom scales are only the ones containing cartographic data.
Instead when Chart Lock is Off, it is possible to zoom down into zoom scales not covered by carto-
graphic data after the last available zoom scale covered by cartographic data.
Warning
When an empty level is entered, the message “No cartographic coverage” is shown on a window
in a corner of the map display. The warning message is always displayed as long as the current
zoom has no data coverage.
COG = Course Over Ground
Direction of the path over ground actually followed by a vessel.
Correction
To compute fix error in automatic mode, place cursor on ship's real position and then follow the
procedure (compute correction). It is also possible to compute the fix error in manual mode (correction
offset). Once you computed the error, you can turn the fix correction On or Off.
Course Vector
The Course Vector is a graphical indication of the direction in which the Vessel is heading. The Course
Vector origin is the vessel’s position so the time line movement is synchronized with the vessels Icon.
Course Vector course is given by the value of COG (Course Over Ground) and its length is propor-
tional to the SOG (Speed Over Ground).
CTS = Course To Steer
The optimum direction the boat should be steered in order to efficiently make headway back to the
course line while also proceeding toward the destination Waypoint.
Cultural Features

Datum
The Latitude and Longitude lines printed on any map are based on certain models of the shape of the
earth: these models are called Datum or Coordinate Systems. There are many different Datum in use,
each one gives different Lat/Lon positions for an identical point on the surface of the earth.
Default
Indicates a value or a setting which is used if the user has not defined a particular value. You can modify
this value using the menu settings.
Depth Area
The sea area that is beyond the selected range is filled by an uniform white color, the sea area that is
inside the selected range is filled by ordinary multicolor shading. The Spot Soundings and Depth
Contours are displayed on the range only.

NMEA-0183
The NMEA-0183 Data Interface Standard was developed by the National Marine Electronics Associa-
tion of America. It is an international standard that enables equipment from many different manufac-
tures to be connected together and to share information.
Pictures and Diagrams
The MAX data format allows assigning one or more image to any cartographic object. These Pictures
are typically used to facilitate the identification of cartographic objects or places around the map: they
can be the landscape layout nearby a harbor, the shape of a bridge or of a buoy etc.
On some objects, such as bridges, the image associated can represent the Diagram representing the
shape of the objects and the various characteristics (length, height, type of bridge etc.).

User Manual
Target
In order to tag on the chart the point, towards which the ship is Heading, you can use a special mark,
called Target. When the Target is placed, all navigation data are referred to this Target.
TD = Time Difference
Loran positions are determined by precise timing of the intervals between reception of pulses transmit-
ted by pairs of stations in the selected chain. Between any two stations a ship must be located some-
where along a line of possible positions where the measured Time Difference, TD, between arrival of
pulses from those stations would be observed. The TD is measured from the time of reception of the
master station signal to the time of reception of the slave station signal.
Tide
The periodic rise and fall of the surface of oceans, bays, etc., due principally to the gravitational interac-
tions between the Moon and Earth.
Tide Info
The Tide Info feature is the combination of a new tide heights database that will be included within
new C-CARDs and new features which calculate the tide graph for all primary and secondary ports
world-wide. This function can calculate the tide heights for any past or future date and as a by-product
of this calculation will also display the Maximum and Minimum Tide height and time for the day
selected plus the times of Sunrise and Sunset. At some chart levels, the chartplotter will display a new
Tide Diamond Symbol for every Port or tide point in the database covered by that particular C-CARD.
Tide & Currents
The new worldwide database with tidal stream information is now available with MAX C-CARDs.
When data/time is available, Tidal stream arrows are shown on the charts, indicating the direction and
strength of the Tide.
Fig. A.1a - Tides & Currents
If no data/time is available from the GPS or the chart plotter is not in Simulation mode, the icon on the
map is generic one.
The color of the arrow denotes the strength of the current as follows:
Fig. A.1b - Tides & Currents table
When the chart plotter receives a valid position fix, the Tide icons are shown on the charts on the basis
of the current date and time: the screen displays and changes arrows as date/time changes.

VAD = Value Added Data
The Value Added Data (VAD) is a collection of additional cartographic objects which are not present
on the original paper chart (from which the electronic chart derives). These objects have been obtained
from other sources (that C-MAP believes to be reliable) and then merged to the electronic charts in
order to provide more information useful for the navigation.
VAD object can be any cartographic objects and it can be distinguished from the official-chart-objects
from the Quick Info. A dedicated icon is shown on the Quick Info window to indicate that the object
queried is a VAD.
The same icon is also shown on the Full Info page and in addition the extended text Value Added Data
is shown on the details of the VAD object.
WAAS = Wide Area Augumentation System
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in cooperation with other DOT organizations and DOD,
is augmenting the GPS/SPS with a satellite-based augmentation system, the WAAS. It will provide a
signal-in-space to WAAS users to support en route through precision approach navigation. After achieving
initial operational capability, the WAAS will then be incrementally improved over the next years to
expand the area of coverage, increase the availability of precision approaches, increase signal redun-
dancy and reduce operational restrictions.
Waypoint
Any point to which one intends to navigate. A sequence of Waypoints makes up a Route plan .
WGS-84 = World Geodetic System 1984
Coordinates System or Datum developed by the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA).

Smart DGPS WAAS Receiver
B.1 INSTALLING
Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky. Ensure
there are no major obstructions or fixtures in the immediate proximity to the an-
tenna. The antenna relies on direct “line of sight” satellite reception. If you are un-
sure that the chosen location is suitable it may be advisable to mount the antenna in
a temporary manner to verify correct operation. The thread used on the antenna (1
inch, 14 TPI) is an industry standard thread used on a wide range of mounting brack-
ets, including the swivel joints commonly used for angled surfaces. However due to
the manufacturing process of these mounting brackets you may see that there is
some slop when tightening down the antenna to the bracket. This is of no concern
however as the antenna must be tightened until the antenna stops rotating on the
antenna mounting bracket.
Fig.B.1 - Installing GPS Antenna (I)
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, following template instruction, drill a 0,95 inch (24 mm) hole and
three 0,155 inch (4 mm) holes.
112 User Manual
Fig.B.1a - Installing GPS Antenna (II)
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.
