Mounting orientation
The HS/80/MX575C outputs heading, pitch, and roll readings regardless of the orientation
of the antennas. However, the relation of the antennas to the boat’s axis determines
whether you will need to enter a heading, pitch, or roll bias. The primary antenna is used
for positioning and the primary and secondary antennas, working in conjunction, output
heading, pitch, and roll values.

Note:
Regardless of which mounting orientation you use, the HS80/MX575C provides the
ability to output the heave of the vessel. This output is available via the $GPHEV message.
Parallel orientation
The most common installation is to orient the HS80/MX575C parallel to, and along the
centerline of, the axis of the boat. This provides a true heading. In this orientation:
•
If you use a gyrocompass, you can enter a heading bias in the HS80/MX575C 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
boat’s axis. In this orientation:
•
You will need to enter a heading bias of +90° if the primary antenna is on the starboard side
of the boat and -90° if the primary antenna is on the port side of the boat.
•
You will need to configure the receiver to specify the GPS antennas are measuring the roll axis
using $JATT,ROLL,YES.
•
You will need to 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.
Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3 provide mounting orientation examples.
