INTRODUCTION
The Clipper
GPS
Repeater is supplied with
10
metres of cable.
The unit will repeat the data sent by any GPS receiver set up to
send NMEA
0183
output at
4800
baud.
INSTALLING THE DISPLAY
Select a convenient position for the display on a panel or bulk
head. The site must be flat and the cavity
behind
the panel
must remain dry at all times. (The cable entry is deliberately
not sealed to ensure adequate ventilation. This prevents
misting of the display}.
Cut a hole in the panel 67mm high and 87mm wide. Bring the
wiring th rough the hole in the panel and pass the
10
metre
cable through the hole.
Unscrew and remove the two wing nuts from the rear of ·the
instrument and remove the stainless steel clamping bracket.
Fit the
"O"
ring seal into the groove in the panel mounting face
of the instrument. Ensure that it is correctly lying in its groove
before fitting the instrument to the panel, which provides the
watertight seal for the display.
F!t the instrument into the panel, fit the stainless clamp over
the studs, fit and tighten the two wing nuts finger tight only.
It is important that the 0-ring rubber seal makes good contact
with the panel to prevent water getting behind the unit and
entering the cavity behind the panel.
It is good practice to run the cables vertically downwards from
the unit, even if they later have to rise to connect to the
vessel's supplies. Doing so prevents any water that might get
onto the cables from running back along the cables and into
the unit.
