Step 3.
Attach the output cable from the GPS system to the SP box. NOTE: The GPS system must have a
serial output, not USB. There is no adaptor to connect a GPS with USB output to a serial port.
If the data cable for your GPS has a 9 pin “D” connector on the end (for a PC serial port), it will connect
directly to the “GPS INPUT” jack on the SP box. If the data cable for your GPS has bare wire leads on
the end, you will need to splice the appropriate wires to the cable shown below. If your GPS did not
come with a data cable, one can be obtained from the GPS retailer or manufacturer. There are usually
a variety of cables available, many also include connections for an external power source for the GPS.
We recommend using an external power source as using the GPS with the data output consumes a set
of small batteries in a few hours.

Sonar Processor:
The Sonar Processor requires 12 volts dc. A separate battery that is not connected to the boat’s electrical
system should be used to power the Sonar Processor. If only AC power is available, the sonar processor can
be powered by the supplied ac power supply, which converts 100-240vac to 12vdc.
If you are using the optional Splash proof ultrabright PC:
The optional Splash proof ultrabright PC requires 12 volts dc. You should power the Splash proof PC
from the same 12 volt battery used to power the Sonar Processor. If only AC power is available, the Splash
proof PC can be powered by the supplied ac power supply, which converts 100-240vac to 12vdc.
If you are using a laptop PC:
The laptop PC should be powered by the internal rechargeable battery. If the internal rechargeable
battery is low you can power the laptop computer from 120 volts ac or 230vac using the AC Power Supply
included with the computer (this also recharges the internal battery). An optional 12vdc to 120vac inverter can
be used to power the AC Power Supply included with the computer.
*Note:
To reduce outside electrical interference (noise on the sonar image), connect a wire from the “Water
Ground” terminal on the Sonar Processor panel directly to a piece of metal that goes into the water.
