Adjusting the gyro sensor
The PC 5200 can be installed within a range
from -90 to +90 degrees. Before final instal-
lation of the computer, the gyro-sensor must
be adjusted to the relevant installation posi-
tion in the navigation computer.
☞
Set the gyro-sensor angle to the existing
installation position using a coin or simi-
lar suitable object on the side of the
navigation computer.
✎
Deviations of -10 to +10 degrees in the
sensor settings can be compensated by
the navigation computer. Larger devia-
tions may result in malfunctions.
✎
The navigation computer can also be in-
stalled overhead. To adjust the naviga-
tion computer for the overhead installa-
tion see “Adapting the system” on
page 30.
Securing the computer
The navigation computer can be installed at
various installation locations (e.g. in the glove
compartment, in the luggage compartment
or under the seats).
✎
When deciding on a suitable installation,
good heat dissipation should also be
taken into account. For example, do not
cover computer with carpet, as the
housing acts as a heat sink.
☞
Secure the computer in the desired in-
stallation location using the screws sup-
plied.
✎
Alternatively, the computer can also be
secured to a smooth surface using the
double-sided adhesive tape supplied.
Installing the GPS antenna
The GPS antenna may be installed in the pas-
senger compartment, for example on the
dashboard or the rear shelf. The antenna
needs to have unrestricted “visual contact”
to the sky.
✎
Vehicles with metallised windows should
have the antenna installed on the boot
lid, on the roof or in the plastic bumper.
✎
To guarantee the functioning of the an-
tenna, maintain a minimum distance of
10 cm to any metal parts (window frame,
etc.) during installation.
✎
The mounting surface must be free of
dust and grease.
✎
The installation temperature should be
at least 15° Celsius so that the adhesive
strip can develop its full adhesive
strength.
☞
Place the antenna with the supplied
double-sided adhesive strip onto the
cleaned surface and press firmly into
place.
