3.8 Attaching the GPS Skid
For navigation, Artemis is supplied with a GPS float, 40m tether and cable
management skid.
To attach the skid to the main frame…
 First slide the locating lugs at the rear of the Artemis frame into the hook recesses
at the rear of the skid
 Lower the front of the Artemis frame down onto the GPS skid so the attachment
boss engages with the frame.
 Secure the skid by inserting the Locking Pin into the small hole at the front of the
frame (beneath the sonar).
 Once the skid is secure, remove the blanking plug from Serial Port 2 on the Artemis
console (see section 3.6 on page 14).
 Firmly push the GPS Skid’s electrical plug into Serial Port 2 (see note below) on the
Artemis console and ensure that the connector pins are not exposed to water.
 On power up, the GPS status icon ( ) should turn yellow while a fix is being
acquired, then green when a position is obtained. If this does not occur, ensure the
GPS power is enabled in the “Power Application” (see section 4.1.3), and check the
GPS diagnostics display (see section 4.4.3).
By default Serial Port 2 is configured as the GPS port, although settings are available in
the “Settings Application” (see section 4.4.4) to allow this to be swapped to Serial
Ports 1 or 3.
When removing the GPS skid, reverse the above procedure and ensure the blanking
plug has been replaced in Serial Port 2 to prevent damage to the electrical contacts by
salt-water.
3.9 Attaching the GPS Training Float
If using the large orange ‘training float’ (supplied as an optional extra), then the float
should be secured to the Artemis frame by means of the plastic boss and locking pin
that are attached to the float’s cable.
Do not rely on the GPS Float connector plug as the only means of securing the
Training Float to Artemis.
