[. . . ] As low as possible: the height of the receiver is not as important as it having a clear view horizon to horizon for optimum signal reception. In fact, the lower the unit can be mounted and have a clear view to satellites, the better. The more stable the unit, the more effectively it will track satellites low to the horizon. · 2 Installation Note: Do NOT mount the receiver up a mast, as the receiver will swing with the boat, leading to significant COG/SOG errors. · As far as possible from any sources of interference: the receiver should be separated by at least 1 m (3 ft) from other antennas and electronic equipment. It should not be mounted in the direct path of a radar's beam. Mounting options You can mount the Raystar 120/112LP on a pole or flush on a suitable horizontal surface. When mounting the receiver flush to a surface: · · select a suitable area which allows access to the underside of the mounting surface for fixing avoid areas where the receiver might be trodden upon or where it might present a tripping hazard Cabling route When planning the location for the unit, consider the best route for running the cable between the receiver and GPS display unit or to the rest of an integrated system. Ideally, you should try to route the cable so it is: · · hidden from view separated as far as possible from other cables (to prevent interference) Chapter 2: Installation 9 2. 3 Mounting the receiver When you have selected a suitable location, follow the relevant installation instructions for Pole mounting or Surface mounting. Pole mounting Note: You will need to obtain a suitable pole with 1 inch 14 TPI thread. Securely attach the pole mount base to a suitable pole or rail mount bracket. Pass the cable through either: A: the center hole of the pole mount base, or B: the cable exit hole alongside the center hole, or C: the side exit channel Note: If you intend to use the side exit channel, remove the two plastic tabs obstructing the channel. If you do not remove these tabs before using the cable channel, you could damage the cable. Check the cable is positioned correctly, then secure the receiver to the pole mount base using the two screws provided. . 2 Installation C B A D5898-1 Figure 2-1: Pole mounting 10 Raystar 120 & Raystar 112LP GPS Receivers - Owner's Handbook Surface mounting 1. Use the template supplied in this handbook to mark the two 6 mm (0. 25 in) fixing holes. OPTION A: If the cable is going to pass through the mounting surface drill either: · 6 mm (0. 25 in) center hole (for bare-ended SeaTalk cables), or · 19 mm (0. 75 in) center hole (for NMEA plugged cables) OPTION B: If the cable is going to exit from the side of the receiver above the mounting surface, remove the two plastic tabs (1) obstructing the cable channel. If you do not remove these tabs before using the cable channel, you could damage the cable. Screw the two mounting studs (2) into the underside of the receiver. Stick the supplied gasket (3) to the mounting surface, ensuring that the holes on the gasket correspond with the drilled holes 5. Pass the cable down through the center hole (Option A) or route it through the cable exit channel (Option B). Carefully position the receiver so the mounting studs pass through the holes in the mounting surface. Secure the receiver to the surface using the two thumb nuts (4).

Usually this will be achieved by providing power via a fused display unit. Using the moulded 6-pin NMEA connector 3 NMEA/SeaTalk Connections The unit is normally connected to an NMEA system via the 10 m (33 ft) cable terminated with a moulded 6-pin connector (see Figure 3-1). Use this connector if your equipment has a compatible GPS port.

Refer to Table 3-1 for information about cable colors. The cable can be cut as necessary to the required length, or coiled and stored out of the way.
