  • Page 20 GNSS satellite satellite reception recommendations: reception • Ensure there is a clear view of the sky available to the V200n, so the GNSS and L-band satellites are not masked by obstructions that may reduce system performance. • Position is based off the primary GNSS antenna located on located on the end opposite the recessed arrow on the underside of the enclosure.
  • Page 21 For example, if installing the V200n near marine radios, consider the following: • VHF marine radio working frequencies (Channels 1 to 28 and 84 to 88) range from 156.05 to 157.40 MHz. The L1 GPS working center frequency is 1575.42 MHz.
  • Page 22 The top of the V200n enclosure incorporates a sight design feature to help you align the enclosure on your vessel. Alignment accuracy is approximately +/- 2°.
  • Page 23 • If you use a gyrocompass and there is a need to align the Vector smart antenna, you can enter a heading bias in the V200n to calibrate the physical heading to the true heading of the vessel. • You may need to adjust the pitch/roll output to calibrate the measurement if the Vector is not installed in a horizontal plane.

  • Page 27 If you have another accurate source of heading data on your vessel, such as a alignment gyrocompass, you may use its data to correct for a bias in V200n alignment within the V200n software configuration. Alternatively, you can physically adjust the heading of the V200n so that it renders the correct heading measurement or add a software offset.

    Position performance can be improved with RTK or DGNSS. The following sections provide the steps to configure your V200n to use Atlas, SBAS, or RTK. Note: Differential source and RTK status impact only positioning and heave.

  • Page 38: Gnss Overview

    They only have an impact on positioning and heave. The V200n provides accurate and reliable heading and position information at high update rates. To accomplish this task, the V200n uses a high performance GNSS receiver and two antennas for GNSS signal processing.
  • Page 39 The V200n can calculate a position with 30 cm RMS (horizontal) accuracy. To configure the receiver to use Atlas L-band, a subscription must be purchased.

    The V200n’ s internal sensor is factory calibrated and enabled by default Tilt aiding and constrains the RTK heading solution beyond the volume associated with a fixed antenna separation.
  • Page 41 GNSS loss for either antenna. If the outage lasts longer than three minutes, the sensor will have drifted too far and the V200n begins outputting null fields in the heading output messages. There is no user control over the timeout period of the sensor.
