  • Page 9: Features

    Features The GP-1610CF is a totally integrated GPS receiver, color video plotter and color video sounder. It mainly consists of a display unit and a GPS antenna. Navigation information is displayed on a bright 5.6-inch color TFT LCD. On-screen information shown are position, range and bear- ing to cursor position, range, bearing, ETA and TTG to waypoint, etc.

  • Page 10: System Configuration

    The GP-1610CF mainly consists of a display unit and a GPS an- tenna. A dual frequency transducer is optionally available. The chart card drive in the display unit loads electronic charts. External equip- ment which can be connected include water temperature and speed sensors, autopilot, and DGPS beacon receiver.

  • Page 15 Figure 1-3 Typical antenna unit mounting locations Antenna unit mounting procedure You will need a medium size slotted-head screwdriver and vinyl tape. The standard antenna is usually fastened to a length of pipe and fastened to a mast. (A mast mount fixture is optionally available for this.) The threaded antenna base accepts a standard antenna mount with a 1"-14 straight thread.

  • Page 24 1-14 Installing the thru-hull mount transducer Transducer mounting location This type of mounting provides the best performance of all, since the transducer protrudes from the hull and the effect of air bubbles and turbulence neat the hull skin is reduced. When the boat has a keel, the transducer should be at least 30 cm away from it.

  • Page 26 1-16 Procedure for installing the thru-hull mount transducer 1. With the boat hauled out of the water, mark the location se- lected for mounting the transducer on the bottom of the hull. 2. If the hull is not level within 15 in any direction, fairing blocks made out of teak should be used between the transducer and hull, both inside and outside, to keep the transducer face paral- lel with the water line.
  • Page 27 Installing the transom mount transducer This type of mounting is very commonly employed, usually on relatively small I/O or outboard boats. Do not use this method on an inboard motor boat because turbulence is created by the propel- ler ahead of the transducer. There are two methods of installation: flush with hull (for flat hulls) and projecting from hull (for deep V-hulls).

    1.4 Installation of Optional Sensors Through-hull mount water temperature/speed sensor (ST-02MSB, ST-02PSB) Select a suitable mounting location considering the following: • Select a mid-boat flat position. The sensor does not have to be installed perfectly perpendicular. The sensor must not be dam- aged in dry-docking operation.
  • Page 30 1-20 Transom mount water temperature sensor T-02MTB • Fix the cable at a convenient location with cable clamp. • When the cable is led in through the transom board, make a hole of approx. 17 mm diameter to pass the connector. After passing the cable, fill the hole with a sealing compound.

    Connecting a DGPS beacon receiver Most any DGPS beacon receiver having RS-422 or RS-232C out- put level can be connected. (Connection of the FURUNO FR-80 requires no modification.) For RS-232C, a level converter (local supply) is required. Connect the receiver to the DGPS connector at the rear of the display unit.

    GPS, CHART OVERVIEW 4.1 Principle of GPS What is GPS? GPS is an acronym meaning Global Position- ing System. GPS (sometimes referred to as NAVSTAR) is a highly precise satellite navi- gation system developed by the U.S. Depart- ment of Defense. A constellation of 24 satellites emplaced in nearly 20,000-kilometer high 12-hour circu- lar orbits provides highly precise, continuous,...
  • Page 56 Position-fixing accuracy (HDOP) In radar position-fixing, most accurate posi- tion fixes are obtained when the targets used are spaced nearly 90 from each other. Simi- larly, GPS position fixing accuracy is subject to satellite location. Generally, the further apart the satellites are from one another, the greater the position-fixing accuracy.

  • Page 97: Glossary

    Glossary GPS Plotter Almanac Each GPS satellite broadcasts its own orbital data as well as general orbital data of all other GPS satellites. This general orbital data is called the Almanac. The GPS receiver receives the Almanac and decodes it to calculate the quantity and elevation angle of satellites in view, to know when it can receive the GPS signal.
  • Page 98 Magnetic variation offset The location of the magnetic north pole is dif- ferent from the geographical north pole. This causes a difference between the true and mag- netic north direction. This difference is called magnetic variation, and varies with respect to the observation point on the earth.
  • Page 99 Frequency The frequency of the ultrasonic pulse used in video sounders is between 15 and 200 kHz, and the GP-1610CF provides both 50 kHz and 200 kHz. The 200 kHz frequency offers a sharp, clear-cut picture since its beamwidth is narrow. However its use should be limited to shallow waters since its pulse is easily at- tenuated in water.
  • Page 100 Returning signal The ultrasonic pulse transmitted by the trans- ducer "strikes" intervening objects such as the bottom and fish schools and returns to the transducer. The signal received at the trans- ducer is called the returning signal. Sounding range Sounding range refers to the maximum depth observable in the range in use.
