Installing the eNAVTEX Receiver System
Fitting the NAVTEX Antenna
Select a suitable position for the NAV6 eNAVTEX Receiver Module (black box).
If the system included an ICS passive NAVTEX antenna, select a suitable position for the
antenna on your boat. Install the antenna and route the cabling to the position you have
selected for the NAV6 eNAVTEX Receiver Module.
If the system is supplied without an antenna i.e. For use with an existing antenna or an
alternative active antenna. In this case route a 50ohm antenna cable from this antenna system
to the location where the receiver will be installed.
Fitting the NAV6 eNAVTEX Receiver Module
Turn off/remove fuses to the 12v power supply that you have selected for powering the
eNAVTEX Receiver module.
Fit the NAV6 eNAVTEX Receiver module using the two stainless steel screws supplied or
equivalent fasteners suitable for the chosen location.
Cut the antenna cable to a suitable length such that it will reach the NAV6 NAVTEX Receiver
Module without pulling on the cable. Bare the Antenna cable end so that the core and screen
wires are exposed and prepared suitable for connection to the detachable NAV6 Receiver
Module Connector Strip (Green).
Install and connect a suitably fused power cable to the receiver from a convenient junction.
Connect your NMEA 0183 (IEC 61162-1 4800 baud or IEC 61162-2 38400 baud) network to the
NAV6 Receiver Module Connector Strip (Green). As a minimum the NMEA data should provide
position (RMC sentence) and time and date (ZDA sentence).
The diagram on the following page shows how to connect the system.
Fit the NAV6 Receiver Module Connector Strip (Green) into the NAV6 Receiver module apply
power to the system.
If you are unsure about any these instructions we recommend you either contact ICS or seek
the assistance of a marine electronics installer.
Turn the power back on to the circuit the new Receiver Module is now connected.
You are now ready install the eNAVTEX App software as explained in the following sections.
Install the eNAVTEX App software before connecting the eNAVTEX receiver to your PC/laptop
via the USB cable.
