3. Installation
Before starting installation select a suitable location for the GPS160 Receiver. The unit is water proof and designed for
on-deck mounting. The GPS160
antenna has the popular 1” x 14 TPI thread mount, found in many VHF antennas. A wide
variety of different brackets are available for this type of threaded mount, consult your local marine electronics dealer or
chandlery for more information.
The 1” x 14 TPI thread mount can also be removed by unscrewing the three hex bolts with a suitable Allen Key, allowing
the GPS160 to be flush mounted on a flat horizontal surface. A mounting kit (as shown in the diagram below) is available
from Digital Yacht (Part# X500.400). In this situation, a bead of silicone sealant should be applied around the antenna,
after mounting it, to avoid standing water accumulating under the antenna.
Dimensions;
The GPS160 is supplied with 10m of cable and this should be routed through the vessel to a suitable dry internal location
where it can be connected to the boat’s DC power system and the equipment it will be interfaced with. The cable can be
shortened, lengthened or joined without problems.
The GPS160
should be connected to the boat’s DC supply via a 1 Amp fuse. The unit requires 9.6V to 28.8V supply
voltage.
The GPS160 has a number of operating modes that can be set by adjusting four DIP switches inside the unit. Section 4 of
this manual explains how to select the different modes. By default the GPS160 will output;
-
GLL, GGA, RMC, VLW, VTG and ZDA once per second at 4800 baud (TriNav
™
Mode)
This default mode is good for most applications and uses all of the available satellites from the GPS, GLONASS and
GALILEO constellations.
On the next page, are the wiring details for the GPS160 and a series of connection diagrams that shows how to interface
to other navigational equipment.
