4.2.3 Set up Heading interfaces
4.2.3.1 Connection of KODEN GPS compass
Connect GPS compass to the J6 port. Refer to
“3.4.3 KODEN GPS compass connection”.
Press MENU key to display
“Menu” and set as follows with the trackball/joystick.
(1) [MAINTENANCE] => [I/O] => [HDG] => [HDG] => [AUTO], and press ENT key.
Initialize GPS compass (DATA 1 or DATA 2 in KGC-222, DATA 2 in KGC-1 and J6 port of the radar are
optimally reset.)
(1) [MAINTENANCE] => [I/O] => [KGC SET] => [INITIAL] => [GO], and press ENT key.
Note: With this initialization, port connected to the radar of GPS compass is set at 38400 bps, 50 ms for
signal cycle, and HDT, GGA, VTG, DTM and ZDA for signal type.
Compensate angles of GPS compass
When mounting direction of GPS compass has been out of alignment, compensation of the
misalignment allows GPS compass to output HDT signals as follows.
(1) [MAINTENANCE] => [I/O] => [KGC SET] => [BRG CORR] => [0.0°], and then select the last digit of
entry frame for a numerical value and set with ENT key after pointing at the angle to be
compensated by moving the trackball/joystick up and down.
4.2.3.2 Connection of other device
In case of a gyro with analogue signal output such as step signal or synchronous signal (Refer to
“3.4.4 Connecting a Gyro converter unit or THD”), insert a gyro converter unit (optimal item: S2N)
between them, convert the analogue signal into that of IEC 61162-2, and then input the signal into the
J3, J5 or J6 port of this radar.
When a THD (a gyro with output based on IEC 61162-2) or a GPS compass from another manufacturer
is connected, connect the output based on IEC 61162 directly to the J3, J5 or J6 port of this radar.
Setting can be performed with pressing MENU key as follows:
(1) [MAINTENANCE] => [I/O] => [HDG] => [HDG] => [AUTO], and press ENT key.
Set values: AUTO, THS, HDT, HDG, HDM, VTG, RMC, RMA, MAN
Caution: In case of either HDG, HDM, VTG, RMC, RMA or Manual is selected, TT (ARPA) function
and true trail will not always work properly.
