Interface Connection 5 4 10 9 8 Figure 2-2-2-5 Installation instruction Step 4: When the mounting bracket and the CAMINO-201 are aligned, insert the knob 8 thru the Spring Washer 9 , the Washer 4 , then the body joint till it click on the mounting bracket joint 5 as shown in Figure 2-2-2-5. Step 5: ‧Knob 8 should be placed outside of the body joint 4 . ‧Spring Washer 9 and Washer 10 should be placed outside of the body joint 4 in the order as shown in Figure 2-2-2-5.
Step 1: Connect the GPS cable to the GPS ANT connector 2 .* 2 6 Step 2: Connect the VHF cable to the VHF ANT connector 3 . 5 Step 3: Connect other NMEA 0183 compatible system to the NMEA interface 5 . Step 4: Connect the computer to the RS-232 interface 6 if needed. 3 4 Step 5: Connect the Power cable to the Power connector 4 . 1 Figure 2-2-2-6 Installation instruction *NOTE: CAMINO-201 SUPPLIES ONLY 3.3V FOR GPS ANTENNA.
2.2.3 Connector Pin Definition and Wiring 2.2.3.1 Power Connector A red wire and a black wire are included in the power cable. Table 2-2-3-1 Power wiring details PIN WIRE COLOR NAME 1 Red PWR 2 / / 3 Black GND FUNCTION Positive (＋), the input should be 12V / 24V DC / Power ground 2.2.3.2 NMEA 0183 Connector The NMEA 0183 interface cable contains 12 different wires. Refer to the following table for the wiring details.
NMEA 0183 Wiring Refer to the following wiring method for the external NMEA device with NMEA 0183 interface or RS-422. CAMINO-201 NMEA 0183 External NMEA device TXP TXN RXP RXN RXP RXN TXP TXN Figure 2-2-3-2 NMEA 0183 connections *NOTE: Please make sure the external device is fully NMEA 0183 compiled. 2.2.3.3 RS-232 Connector RS-232 Connector contains 9 different wires.

2.2.4 VHF Antenna Installation The quality and positioning of the antenna is the most important factor dictating AIS performance. It is recommended that a VHF antenna with omni directional vertical polarization be specifically tuned for AIS operation band. Since the range of VHF signals is largely decided by line of sight distance, AIS antenna should be placed as high as possible and at least 5 meters away from any constructions made of conductive materials.
2.2.5 GPS Antennas Installation The GPS antenna must be installed where it has a clear view of the sky, so that it accesses the horizon freely through 360°, with a vertical observation of 5 to 90 degrees above the horizon as illustrated in Figure 2-2-5. GPS ANTENNA LOCATION Enter the external and internal GPS antenna location data after installing them. Input the data in “SHIP SETTING”. Following is the GPS antenna location offset arm.
