  • Page 18: How Gps Works

    NAVSTAR 10/12 series Introduction HOW GPS WORKS Currently, the GPS constellation consists of 26 orbiting satellites (including 3 spares), but this number will increase in the future. The GPS receiver computes an accurate position by calculating the distance to the GPS satellites that orbit the earth.
  • Page 19 NAVSTAR 10/12 series Introduction [The GPS position calculation] As illustrated in the previous figure, the position is calculated as the meeting point of three spheres, which are drawn around the three satellites with diameters d1, d2 and d3. Position Fixing Accuracy: HDOP The GPS fix accuracy is due to the locations of 3 satellites in the sky.

  • Page 20: Sonar - How It Works

    NAVSTAR 10/12 series Introduction #Sonar - How it works- The NAVSTAR 10/12CF sonar consists of a transceiver display unit and a dual frequency transducer. An electronic signal pulse is generated in the transmitter section of the display unit. When coupled to the transducer, this signal is converted into an ultrasonic signal and is transmitted toward the bottom.

  • Page 21: Installation Of Gps Antena

    Installation of GPS ANTENA The installation of the GPS ANTENNA. The GPS ANT must be installed at the highest area of the boat and the easiest place to receive the signal from the satellites. If there are obstacles around the GPS ANT, it isn't able to receive all signals. The receiving time could be longer or the receiving power would be weaker.

    Installation of the Transducer Installing a Thru-Hull Transducer Follow these instructions if you are installing the thru-hull transducer. ) Once you have decided where to install the transducer, drill the hole for the part. Begin by drilling a small pilot hole (1/8" or 3mm) from the inside of the hull. (This small hole can be filled easily if the mounting location is not suitable.) Before you drill the hole, be sure you will be able to reach the large nut on the top of the transducer, once it has been mounted.

It has been introduced to improve the safety of navigation by assisting in the efficient operation of ship to ship, ship reporting and VTS applications. The system should enable operators to obtain information from the ship automatically, requiring a minimum of involvement of ship’s personnel, and should have a high level of availability.
