The LOWRANCE LGC-1 GPS MODULE
This GPS receiver is small, rugged, and fast. The five channel design lets
it track all satellites in view and acquire up to five satellites at one time. It
sends position information once every second. By incorporating Rockwell’s
GPS receiver technology with Lowrance’s state-of-the-art design and
manufacturing capabilities, Lowrance brings to the consumer one of the
most advanced line of GPS marine navigation systems available in the
world.
LGC-1 GPS MODULE INSTALLATION
The GPS module can be installed on a flat surface or (with the supplied
adapter) on a pole. Mount the module in an area that guarantees a clear
view of the sky at all times. In order for the module to receive the signals
from the satellites, it must not be obstructed. An ideal location is on a cabin
roof, or deck. The gunnels also make a good location. Attaching the pole
mounting adapter let you install the module on a one inch mast. However,
for lightning protection, the antenna shouldn’t be the highest part of the
boat.
Surface Mounting - With Access
If you have access underneath the mounting surface, use the gasket
supplied with the GPS module as a template. Drill four 5.5 mm (7/32") holes
and one 17 mm (11/16") hole for the module’s cable. Attach the cable to
the module and pass it down through the hole in the gasket and the
mounting surface. Use 5 mm screws, flat washers, and lock washers to
fasten the GPS module to the mounting surface. Route the cable to the
GlobalMap 2000.
