Introduction Overview The HS70 is a complete GPS compass and positioning system in a single enclosure that requires only one power/data cable connection. With its NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 support and ease of installation, the HS70 is the perfect solution for marine applications.
Fixed Mount The bottom of the HS70 contains four holes for fl ush mounting the unit to a fl at surface. See fi gure below. The fl at surface may be something you fabricate per your installation, an off -the- shelf item (such as a radar mounting plate), or an existing surface on your vessel.

• Hand tighten until snug (do not overtighten) while ensuring correct orientation • Use the set screws on the long sides of the base to secure the HS70 in place (3/16” Allen wrench not included) Warning: Overtightening may damage the system. This is not covered under warranty.
Refer “PGNs with the HS70 in NMEA 2000 mode” on page 15. NMEA 0183 The HS70 off ers position, heading, rate of turn, time COG and SOG data, via NMEA 0183 port. In addition to outputting data, these ports are used for fi rmware upgrades.

Power/Data Cable Considerations The HS70 uses a single 15 m (49 ft) cable for power and data input/output. The receiver end of the cable is terminated with an environmentally sealed 12-pin connection while the opposite end is unterminated and requires fi eld stripping and tinning.

Receiver Performance The HS70 works by fi nding four or more GPS satellites in the visible sky. It uses information from the satellites to compute a position within 4.0 m. Since there is some error in the GPS data calculations, the HS70 also tracks a diff...

Supplemental Sensors The HS70 has an integrated gyro and two tilt sensors. The gyro and tilt sensors are enabled by default. Each supplemental sensor may be individually enabled or disabled. Both supplemental sensors are mounted on the printed circuit board inside the HS70.
Check receiver power status to ensure the receiver is powered (an ammeter can be used for this) • Ensure the baud rate (4800) of the HS70 matches that of the receiving device • Check integrity and connectivity of power and data cable...
