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.
The HS70 allows for two different mounting options: fixed mount and pole mount. Refer “HS70 Dimensions” on page 14. • Flush mount - The bottom of the HS70 contains four M8 holes for flush mounting the unit to a flat surface •...

• 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.
See “Power specifications” on page 13 for complete power specifications. Before you power up the HS70 you must terminate the wires of the power cable as required. There are a variety of power connectors and terminals on the market from which to choose, depending on your specific requirements.

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 field stripping and tinning.

Autonomous positioning capabilities of the HS70 will result in positioning accuracies of 4.0 m 95% of the time. In order to improve positioning quality to better than 1.0 m 95%, the HS70 is able to use differential corrections received through the internal SBAS demodulator.

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 connections •...
