Mounting the V200n
,

Parallel
orientation
Parallel installation orients the V200n parallel to, and along the
centerline of, the axis of the vessel.
This provides a true heading
. In this
orientation:
•
If you use a gyrocompass and there is a need to align the Vector smart
antenna, you can enter a heading bias in the V200n to calibrate the
physical heading to the true heading of the vessel.
•
You may need to adjust the pitch/roll output to calibrate the
measurement if the Vector is not installed in a horizontal plane.
Perpendicular
orientation
You can also install the antennas, so they are oriented perpendicular to
the centerline of the vessel’s axis. In this orientation:
•
Enter a heading bias of +90° if the primary antenna is on the starboard
side of the vessel and -90° if the primary antenna is on the port side of
the vessel.
•
Configure the receiver to specify the GNSS smart antenna is measuring
the roll axis using either MSGID 0x003D (NMEA 2000) or
$JATT,ROLL,YES (using the PocketMax Terminal window).
•
Enter a roll bias to properly output the pitch and roll values.
•
You may need to adjust the pitch/roll output to calibrate the
measurement if the Vector is not installed in a horizontal plane.
