8. SV-GPS-250 Installation and Configuration
This chapter contains information that specifically applies to the installation and configuration
of the SV-GPS-250 GPS Receiver module. After reading this chapter, you should be able to
determine how to prepare the installation location, mount the module, connect it to a display,
and configure it.
A valid GPS signal is required for time, compass calibration, and moving map
functionality. This signal does not need to come from an SV-GPS-250. However, the
SV-GPS-250 provides positional updates five times per second. This makes mapping
and synthetic vision display look smoother over receiving their positional updates
at once per second from other GPS devices.
If your installation has two or more displays, all wires of the SV-GPS-250 must be
connected to all displays.
Figure 54 is a high-level overview of a suggested SV-GPS-250 installation and configuration
procedure.
