TV GPS Operation
Nomad 3
The GPS can receive its power from the satellite receiver. It can also receive power from
the Nomad 3 controller. To receive power from the satellite receiver it must be plugged in and
sending power to the GPS by way of the Nomad 3 Controller in order for the GPS to receive
satellite coordinates. Note: the Nomad Controller does not have to be powered on. If the
satellite receiver is unplugged it must be plugged in for approximately 5-10 minutes prior to
pressing FIND in order for the GPS module to be updated with current GPS information.
If the receiver is providing power while driving then the GPS information will be
gathered and stored every 5 minutes. Upon arrival at a site for deployment, the GPS Module
will have current data stored. If the receiver is powered on then you may press FIND at any
time after the housekeeping routine of the Nomad 3 Controller is complete. The receiver is not
required to be on all the time just as long as it is powered on at least 5 minutes prior to
deployment.
In the case of the Nomad 3, if you do not have the receiver in line with the controller
when you turn on the Nomad Controller you must wait for the LOCK LED to stop blinking and
stay on solid before pressing the FIND button.
The system may be deployed without receiving the latest GPS coordinates. When
deployed without latest information it will act on the last coordinates stored. To do this, press
the FIND Button once and then again. The second time, hold the FIND button for an additional
3 seconds. This procedure eliminates the need for GPS data and starts the search routine.
Nomad SD or SD2
The GPS can receive its power from the satellite receiver. It can also receive power from
the Nomad SD or SD2 controller. To receive power from the satellite receiver it must be
plugged in and sending power to the GPS by way of the Nomad SD or SD2 Controller for it to
receive the GPS satellite coordinates. Note: the Nomad SD or SD2 Controller does not have to
be powered on. If the satellite receiver is unplugged it must be plugged in for approximately 5-
10 minutes prior to pressing FIND in order for the GPS module to be updated with current GPS
information.
If the receiver is providing power while driving then the GPS information will be
gathered and stored every 5 minutes. Upon arrival at a site for deployment, the GPS Module
