  • Page 5: Introduction

    ¼ Note: When referring to both the HS80 GPS Compass and the MX575C DGPS Compass this manual uses the term HS80/MX575C. When referring to either product, this manual uses either HS80 or MX575C, respectively. The HS/80/MX575C is a complete GPS compass and positioning system in a single enclosure that requires only one power/data cable connection.

  • Page 6: Parts List

    Parts list ¼ Note: The HS80/MX575C’s parts comply with IEC 60945 Section 4.4: “exposed to the weather.” The sections below list parts included in your HS80 kit and the MX575C kit. HS80 Parts list Part Name Part number HS80 GPS Compass...

    • Consider GPS (and hence SBAS) reception, ensuring there is a clear view of the sky available to the HS80/MX575C so the GPS and SBAS satellites are not masked by obstructions that may reduce system performance • Since the HS80/MX575C computes a position based on the internal primary GPS antenna...

  • Page 8: Vhf Interference

    Handheld 5W VHF radios may not provide suitable filtering and may interfere with the HS80/ MX575C’s operation if too close. Before installing the HS80/MX575C use the following diagram to ensure there are no nearby devices that may cause VHF interference.

  • Page 9: Mounting Orientation

    This provides a true heading. In this orientation: • If you use a gyrocompass, you can enter a heading bias in the HS80/MX575C to calibrate the physical heading to the true heading of the vessel.

  • Page 10: Mounting Options

    If you have another accurate source of heading data on your vessel, such as a gyrocompass, you may use its data to correct for a bias in HS80/MX575C alignment within the HS80/ MX575C software configuration. Alternatively, you can physically adjust the heading of the HS80/MX575C so that it renders the correct heading measurement;...

  • Page 12 Flush mounting the HS80/MX575C The bottom of the HS80/MX575C contains eight holes (two sets of four holes) for flush mounting the unit to a flat surface (Figure 2-7). The flat 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.
  • Page 13 Determine the desired location and proper orientation for the HS80/MX575C. See “Mounting orientation” on page 8“ for information on determining the desired orientation. Hand tighten the HS80/MX575C on the pole until snug (unit is stable on pole) while ensuring correct orientation.

  • Page 20: Powering The Hs80/Mx575C

    HS80 power is taken from the NMEA 2000 main buss. Follow the standard procedure for powering up via NMEA 2000. Before you power up the HS80/MX575C 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.

  • Page 21: Connecting The Hs80/Mx575C To External Devices

    • When lengthening the power input leads to the HS80/MX575C, ensure the additional voltage drop is small enough that your power system can continue to power the system above the minimum voltage of the system. Wire of 18-gauge or larger should also be used.

    The table below provides details on certain default parameters. Contact your dealer for default port settings for your unit. ¼ Note: Use the $JSAVE command to save changes you make to the HS80/MX575C’s configuration for the changes to be present in subsequent power cycles. Unit...

  • Page 23: Operation

    Receiver performance The HS80/MX575C works by finding four or more GPS satellites in the visible sky. It uses information from these satellites to compute a position within 4.0 m. Since there is some error in the GPS data calculations, the HS80/MX575C also tracks a differential correction.

  • Page 24: Hs80/Mx575C Overview

    Fixed baseline moving base station RTK The HS80/MX575C’s internal GPS receiver uses both the L1 GPS C/A code and carrier phase data to compute the location of the secondary GPS antenna in relation to the primary GPS antenna with a very high sub-centimeter level of precision.

  • Page 25: Supplemental Sensors

    Supplemental sensors The HS80/MX575C has three supplemental sensors (gyro and two tilt sensors) that are integrated into the unit’s main PCB. The supplemental sensors are enabled by default. You can enable/disable the gyro and both tilt sensors (you cannot enable/disable each tilt sensor separately).

  • Page 26: Time Constants

    GPS loss for either antenna. If the outage lasts longer than three minutes, the gyro will have drifted too far and the HS80/MX575C begins outputting null fields in the heading output messages. There is no user control over the timeout period of the gyro.
  • Page 27 THD loses power or heading, the coil voltage is lost and the relay opens and activates the notification method employed by the user. When the heading is output, the relay contacts remain closed, completing the circuit as an indication that the HS80/MX575C is operational. ¼ Note: Alarm pins must be connected to an IMO type-approved device.
