Page 27: Frequently Asked Questions
Q-Why does the Seastar receiver require a position input from my GPS receiver? A-If the Seastar receiver receives a position input from the GPS receiver it can then compute optimised RTCM corrections for the present location which will improve the accuracy of the system. - Page 28 3000LRS DGPS RECEIVER OPERATOR’S MANUAL Q-Which port on the Seastar receiver do I use to connect to my GPS receiver? A-Always use the Auxiliary (AUX) port to connect the Seastar receiver to a external GPS receiver Q-What can I use the DATA port for? A-The DATA port echoes the AUX NMEA input from the external GPS receiver.
- Page 29 A-Often it’s the case that GPS receivers using RS422 use different ports to receive RTCM and transmit NMEA. The port to receive RTCM from the Seastar receiver is normally a RS232 port; the port to transmit NMEA to the Seastar receiver could be a RS422 port. Connect the RS232/422 converter as follows:...
- Page 30 3000LRS DGPS RECEIVER OPERATOR’S MANUAL Some GPS receivers use only one port for input and output. If this port can only handle RS422 then connect it up as follows: Seastar RS232/422 converter AUX Port RS232 side RS422 side Receiver Pin 2-Rx NMEA...
