    Built into the environmentally rugged, compact housing is our newest 12 channel GPS receiver/processor combined with the ADP antenna. The position output data from the Raystar 112 can be displayed on radars, plotters, fishfinders, lorans, and other navigation equipment capable of accepting NMEA 0183 formatted data.
  • Page 11 RAYSTAR 112 Installation and Operation Handbook that at any time a minimum of 6 satellites will be in view to users anywhere in the world. The satellites continuously broadcast position and time data to users throughout the world. The Control Segment, consists of a master control station in Colorado Springs, with five monitor stations and three ground antennas located throughout the world.
  • Page 12 Chapter 1: Introduction Normally the Raystar 112 tracks up to 12 satellites (if visible) and uses all tracked satellites for calculating position fixes. By using these satellites, the processor can determine the amount of clock errors in each range calculation. The receiver subtracts the error bias equally from each range solution until the lines of position (LOP’s) intersect.

    The height of the GPS sensor is not as important as the sensor having a clear view horizon to horizon for ideal signal reception. In fact, the lower the antenna can be mounted and have a clear view to satellites, the better.

    (RayNav 298, RayNav 398, etc.). 2.2.1 Connection to Raytheon Units When the Raystar 112 sensor is connected directly to one of Raytheon’s GPS display units, it normally obtains its 12VDC operating power input from the unit. In this typical installation, the 6 pin sensor connector is plugged directly into the connector labeled “GPS”...

    The GPS’s wiring should be separated as much as possible from these other devices. When using the NMEA 0183 format, the Raystar 112 can provide data for at 2 or more navigation equipments when connected in parallel. Be sure that all devices connected to the data output ( plotters, video sounders, radars) are programmed to use the NMEA 0183 data format.

    Your GPS is set up for fully Automatic operation when it leaves the factory. All you need to do is turn the unit ON. When power is applied to the Raystar 112 for the very first time, the GPS sensor has to locate and identify three or more satellites before determining the vessel’s actual L/L position.

    The estimated life span of the battery is five years. If the battery should fail, the memory contents will be lost. While the Raystar 112 will still operate without the battery, the unit will take longer to acquire a fix each time you use the unit.
