Raystar 120 GPS Receiver
2.2 Installation Procedure
Before commencing installation ensure you have the correct unit for
your application. Appendix B identifies the correct version of the
Raystar 120 GPS Receiver for compatible Raymarine, Autohelm and
Apelco units.
Raymarine cannot be responsible for incorrect operation due to
incorrect unit specification. Always state which model you have
when making any communication with Raymarine or a registered
service agent.
GPS Receiver Installation
The Raystar 120 GPS Receiver is designed to receive the signals
emitted from the satellites in a direct path. Ideally, the unit should be
mounted horizontally in a location that is open and clear of any masts,
search lights, or other structures that could block line-of-sight
reception of signals. The height of the GPS Receiver is not as
important as it’s having a clear view horizon to horizon for optimum
signal reception. In fact, the lower the unit can be mounted and have a
clear view to satellites, the better. The more stable the unit, the easier
it is to track satellites lower to the horizon.
The Raystar 120 can be mounted on a pole. Alternatively, you can use
the supplied surface mount kit.
When mounting the GPS Receiver flush to a deck surface, avoid
areas where the unit will be trodden upon or where it may present a
tripping hazard.
When planning the location for the unit, consider finding a
convenient pathway for running the interconnecting cable between
the GPS Receiver and the display unit or to the rest of an integrated
system. Ideally the cable should be run in a manner such that it is
hidden from view and, if possible, be in a direct path to the point of
connection. It is important to keep the cable separated from other
shipboard cables as far as possible to prevent interference pick-up.
Note: Mounting on the mast of a sailboat is not recommended.
