DISPLAY UNIT The display unit can be installed with either of four methods as shown below. Refer to the outline drawing at the end of manual. Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents. The mounting location should be well ventilated. Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
ANTENNA UNIT Mounting Install the antenna unit referring to the installation diagram at end of manual. When selecting a mounting location for the antenna unit, keep in mind the following points. Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal.

4. WIRING Grounding The display unit contains several CPUs. While they are operating, they radiate noise, which can interfere with other radio equipment. Ground the unit as follows to prevent it. The grounding wire should be 1.25sq or larger. The grounding wire should be as short as possible. External Equipment The DATA1, DATA2, and DATA3 ports are used to connect an external equipment such as autopilot, remote display, navigation equipment.
The beacon receiver (GR-7000A) can automatically select optimum reference station by feeding GP-90’s position data. If it takes more than 5 minutes to fix DGPS position at the automatic mode, switch to manual mode. Use the manual mode when an external beacon receiver has no automatic function of station selection.
5. INITIAL SETTINGS 5. Press the [NU/CU ENT] key. 6. Press the [MENU ESC] key. Manual DGPS setup Enter four digit ID number, frequency and baud rate of station. 1. Press [MENU ESC], [9] and [7] to display the DGPS SETUP menu. 2.
