12/24 Screw terminal is commonly used to provide operating voltage to an external
GPS, Dual Antenna Arbitrator or other below decks tone generators or switches.
Voltage output is based on the T.M.S assemblies JP5 jumper settings.
3.7.7.8. TS5 NMEA A/B, GPS output.
•
RxA- and RxA+- screw terminals, which are defined as the NMEA A connection is used
to connect to the ships Gyro Compass (Heading). The NMEA0183 compliant inputs are
then connected via a 9 pin ribbon cable to the ACU’s J2 NMEA communications port. A
GPS (Latitude and Longitude) input may also be connected, but is not required because
there is a GPS device already installed in your antenna..
NOTE: If you connect a ships
GPS to the terminal mounting strip, you MUST disconnect the GPS antenna on the
antenna pedestal.
•
RxB- and RxB+ screw terminals, which are defined as the NMEA B connection is used
to connect to the ships Gyro Compass (Heading). The NMEA0183 compliant inputs are
then connected via a 9 pin ribbon cable to the ACU’s J2 NMEA communications port. A
GPS (Latitude and Longitude) input may also be connected, but is not required because
there is a GPS device already installed in your antenna.
• TxA- screw terminal is used to provide a Pseudo GPS (GGA and GLL formats) output to
other system components such as a Satellite Modem.
3.7.8. Other BDE connections
Connect your other Below Decks Equipment (ie, telephone, fax machine and computer equipment) to
complete your configuration.
3.8. Final Checks
3.8.1. Visual/Electrical inspection
Do a visual inspection of your work to assure that everything is connected properly and all cables/wires
are secured.
3.8.2. Electrical - Double check wiring connections
Double check all your connections to assure that it is safe to energize the equipment.
3.9. Power-Up
Verify that all shipping straps and restrains have been removed prior to energizing the antenna.
When all equipment has been installed, turn ACU Power and Antenna power ON. The ACU will initially
sequentially display:
“SEA TEL – MASTER and DAC-2202 VER 6.xx” followed by,
“SEA TEL – RCVR and SCPC VER 5.xx” followed by,
“SEA TEL – IO MOD and COMMIF VER 1.xx” followed by,
“SEA TEL – REMOTE and INITIALIZING”. After initialization, the bottom line of the remote display will
display the antenna model number and the software version from the PCU.
Energize and check the other Below Decks Equipment to verify that all the equipment is operating. You will need
to assure that the ACU is setup correctly and that the antenna acquires the correct satellite before you will be able
to completely check all the below decks equipment for proper operation.
