Installation Mounting the Receiver Mounting the GPS 16 I Note: As a general rule, mount the receiver at least three feet from all other antennas and electrical system components (alternator/ignition system). Please read through these instructions thoroughly before attempting installation. Make sure you completely understand these instructions before you begin. When in doubt, seek professional assistance.
Installation Three common sources of interference for GPS units are: Mounting the GPS 16 ABOVE- OK Radar 3' BELOW- OK Radar VHF Radio Antenna SS JAYHAWK EMI EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) from engine components If a problem is found, try altering the location of the unit or wiring. Often moving the receiver a few feet away from the source of interference will solve the problem. When a suitable configuration is found, a permanent installation should be made.
Installation Mounting the GPS 16 Wiring the GPS 16 The final step in installing the GPS 16 is to connect the receiver’s Port 1 DATA IN, DATA OUT, REMOTE ON/OFF and GROUND (Return) lines to your NMEA 0183 device or PC. Port 2 is used for RTCM input only. The GPS 16 may be plugged directly into a RJ-45 receptacle, which accepts NMEA 0183 data. It is recommended that a 1-amp, slow blow fuse be installed on the power (+) line of the receiving RJ-45 receptacle or equivalent device.
Installation Basic Wiring for the GPS 16 to a NMEA 0183 Device or PC Connector: Wiring the GPS 16 1. You may reference the following diagrams for the wiring: Connect the WHITE (Port 1 Data Out) wire from the GPS 16’s power/data cable to the DATA INPUT line of the NMEA 0183 device or to pin 2 on a DB9 (pin 3 on DB25). You may typically output data to no more than three NMEA devices. 2.

Operation First Time Fix The first time you power up your new GPS 16, the receiver must be given an opportunity to collect satellite data and establish its present position. To ensure proper initialization, the GPS 16 is shipped from the factory in AutoLocate mode, which will allow the receiver to “find itself” anywhere in the world. Once the GPS 16 is installed and powered on, it will begin to search for satellites. The GPS 16 will output navigation data once it has calculated an initial position fix.
Operation Using the GPS 16 positioning, then 1-2 minutes afterwards. When WAAS differential correction has been received for enough satellites, the NMEA 0183 data will indicate the availability of a differential fix in the GPGGA sentence. To learn more about the WAAS system, its satellite positions and current state of development, visit the FAA web site (http://gps.faa.gov).
