Install The Gps Receiver/Heading Sensor; Choose The Mounting Location - Humminbird 360 Imaging Installation Manual

Install the GPS Receiver/Heading Sensor

Use the following instructions to install the GPS Receiver/Heading Sensor ("Sensor")
on your boat.

1. Choose the Mounting Location

It is important to consider the following information when you choose a mounting
location for the Sensor:
• Interference: Do NOT mount the Sensor close to a VHF antenna or within the
active area of a radar. Do NOT install the Sensor near ferrous metals or near
anything that can create a magnetic field. Hardware and cables that handle
large currents, such as batteries and power cables, are also examples of
equipment that may cause interference.
• Reception: Mount the Sensor in an area that has full exposure to the sky. The
effective area of reception is 5˚ above the horizon.
• Surface: Whether the Sensor Cable will be routed down through the
mounting surface or to the side, or if your're using a stem mount, the
mounting surface will influence how you install the Sensor. For details, see
Section 2: Install the Sensor.
• Extension Cables: Test run the Sensor Cable from the chosen mounting
location to the control head. 10 ft (3m) extension cables may be purchased from
Humminbird® if your planned cable route exceeds 20 ft (6 m). Maximum cable
length, including extension cables, should not exceed 50 ft (16 m).
• Y-Cable: If the COM port on the control head is already used by another
installed accessory, you will need to purchase a Humminbird® Y-Cable to add
the Sensor to the installation.
