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. The following additional items are needed or optional to complete the installation of your GPS 16: · Receiver mount-- Since mounting locations and methods vary, you may need to obtain a mount to install the GPS 16. The receiver base uses either our Magnetic Mount or may be flush mounted. · On/Off switch (optional)-- Power to the receiver may be controlled by an on/off switch, such as an accessory switch on the control console. Check with an electric supply retailer for this item. It is recommended that the system be temporarily hooked up with the wiring and the unit placed at the desired installation location. Then, check operation with potential interfering equipment turned on and off. (For example, other electronic equipment, fan motors, engine ignition, alternators, generators, radars and VHF radio transmissions can be sources of interference. ) Position the receiver so that the clearest possible view of the sky and horizon in all directions is obtained. Avoid mounting the receiver next to large areas of conductive material (metal, aluminum, etc. ) as this may cause poor signal reception. The GPS 16 is supplied with a 17 foot (5 meter) power/data cable. When routing the wiring to the GPS 16, avoid routing the cable near an alternator or ignition system components or parallel to other power lines. 6 Installation Three common sources of interference for GPS units are: ABOVE- OK Radar BELOW- OK Mounting the GPS 16 3' Radar VHF Radio Antenna I When routing the power/data cable, try to avoid: · Sharp edges which may cut the cable. · Routing the cable parallel to other power lines. · Excessively twisting, straining or bending the cable. 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. Select the mounting location according to your preferences. [. . . ] Output on Port 2 is reserved for future use. The GPS 16 interface protocol also transmits additional information using the convention of GARMIN proprietary sentences ($PGRMx). Complete information on GPS 16 capabilities, data transfer, NMEA 0183 sentence formats and descriptions can be found in the "GPS 16 Technical Specifications" (190-00228-20). You may order a copy of these specifications from GARMIN or your GARMIN dealer, or you may also download a copy from the manuals section of the GARMIN web site at www. garmin. com/support/ userManual. html.
