b) PCS
Positioning:
Protect the PCS from shock, vibration and moisture.
Allow easy access to the front and the rear panels of the PCS.
Refer to the Drawings section on page E-1 for dimensional
details to help when you install the PCS.
Connect the primary GNSS antenna to the ANT1 port.
Connect the secondary GNSS antenna to the ANT2 port
If necessary, connect the Differential GNSS corrections to a
COM port.
Connect the IMU data and power cable to the IMU port.
(POS MV V5) Connect an electrical supply of nominal voltage
110/220V (voltage range - 100 Vac to 240 Vac) to the 3-pin IEC
mains inlet connector on the PCS. The PCS uses an auto-
switching power supply that configures itself to the applied ac
electrical supply.
(POS MV V5-1) Connect an electrical supply of nominal voltage
12/24V (voltage range - 10 Vdc to 34 Vdc) to the 3-pin power
inlet connector on the PCS.
c) GNSS
Antenna
Positioning:
Ensure there is a horizontal separation distance of between 1.0
and 5.0 m (~3 ¼ and ~16 ½ ft) between the primary and the
secondary GNSS antennas.
Mount the antennas as high as possible on the vessel.
Do not mount the antennas close to MF, HF, VHF or UHF
transmitters or antennas. Do not mount the GNSS antennas
within 0.5 m (~±19 ¾ in) of radar or satellite communications
equipment.
Avoid mounting the antennas near large flat surfaces.
Avoid mounting the antennas in a location where they may move,
twist or vibrate significantly relative to the vessel or the IMU.
2. Offset
Measurements
Measure the lever arm distances and mounting angles, as
instructed in Lever Arm Distances on page 2-26 and Mounting
Angles on page 2-29. Be as careful and accurate as possible.
