    8. Mount the GPS unit. GPS Antenna/Receiver Module Installation The IntelliMap 480 package includes the EGC-12w GPS module. This device contains the IntelliMap 480's external antenna and receiver for GPS and WAAS signals. The antenna/receiver module comes with a 25- foot extension cable.

  • Page 18: Power Connections

    Power Connections The IntelliMap 480 works from a 12-volt battery system. For the best results, attach the power cable directly to the battery. You can attach the power cable to an accessory or power buss, however you may have problems with electrical interference.

  • Page 19: Nmea/Dgps Cable Connections

    The most popular DGPS system relies on a grid of ground-based trans- mitters that send correction signals to DGPS receivers. These in turn, connect to the GPS receiver (such as the IntelliMap 480). Eagle offers an optional DGPS receiver for your unit.

    NMEA-compatible device. Mounting the Unit: Bracket, In-Dash or Portable You can install the IntelliMap 480 on the top of a dash with the sup- plied gimbal bracket. It can also be installed in the dash or mounted on a portable power supply.
  • Page 21 Mount the IntelliMap 480 in any convenient location, provided there is clearance behind the unit when it's tilted for the best viewing angle. You should also make sure there is enough room behind the IntelliMap 480 to attach the power and GPS antenna/receiver module cables. (a drawing on the next page shows the dimensions of a gimbal-mounted IntelliMap 480.)
  • Page 22 Attach the unit to the gimbal bracket using the supplied gimbal knobs and washers. In-Dash Installation You can mount the IntelliMap 480 in the dash with an optional FM-5 In-Dash Adapter Kit. The kit includes mounting hardware, a template for cutting the hole and an instruction sheet, part 988-0147-43.
