    8. Mount the GPS unit. GPS Antenna/Receiver Module Installation The IntelliMap 640c package includes the EGC-12w GPS module. This device contains the IntelliMap 640c'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 640c 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, but you might have problems with electrical interference.
  • Page 19 This will protect both the unit and the power cable in the event of a short. It uses a 3-amp fuse. Power connections for the IntelliMap 640c GPS unit. WARNING: This product must be independently fused with the en- closed 3-amp fuse (or equivalent), even if you connect to a fused accessory or power buss.

  • Page 20: Nmea Cable Connections

    NMEA is a standard communications format for marine electronic equipment. For example, an autopilot can connect to the NMEA inter- face on the IntelliMap 640c and receive positioning information. The IntelliMap 640c can exchange information with any device that trans- mits or receives NMEA 0183 data.

  • Page 21: Mounting The Unit: Bracket, In-Dash Or Portable

    NMEA-compatible device. Mounting the Unit: Bracket, In-Dash or Portable You can install the IntelliMap 640c 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 22: Bracket Installation

    Optional R-A-M mounting system. Bracket Installation Mount the IntelliMap 640c 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 640c to attach the power and GPS antenna/receiver module cables.

  • Page 23: In-Dash Installation

    Attach the unit to the gimbal bracket using the supplied gimbal knobs and washers. In-Dash Installation You can mount the IntelliMap 640c 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.

  • Page 24: Portable Installation

    Portable Installation Like many Eagle products, the IntelliMap 640c is capable of portable operation by using an optional portable power pack (PPP). The power pack expands the uses for your GPS unit. The PPP makes it easy to transfer your unit from a boat to a car, recreational vehicle, airplane or other vehicle without drilling and mounting a second bracket.
