Connecting the System to a GPS
Your satellite TV system has a built-in GPS. If the internal GPS doesn’t
operate properly, you can directly connect your boat’s NMEA 0183GPS
tothesystemthroughtheACU’s external GPS connector. To do this you
will need lengths of cable suitable for connecting to your GPS system
and the green 2-way ACU GPS connector supplied with your Intellian
s6HDSatellite TV System.
To Connect the System to a GPS
1. Strip back the insulation of each cable and connect a cable to each
terminal of the 2-way connector.
2. Tighten the locking screws.
3. Connect the cable from the +ve (positive) terminal of the ACU GPS
connector to the NMEA OUT wire of the boat’s GPS system.
4. Connect the cable from the –ve (negative) terminal of the ACU GPS
connector to the ground wire of the boat’s GPS system.
5. Refit the ACU GPS connector to the rear of the ACU.
