Three common sources of interference for GPS units

are:

ABOVE- OK

Radar

BELOW- OK

Radar

EMI

EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) from engine components

If a problem is found, try altering the location of the

unit or wiring. Often moving the receiver a few feet away

from the source of interference will solve the problem.

When a suitable conﬁ guration is found, a permanent instal-

lation should be made. Select the mounting location accord-

ing to your preferences. Keep in mind that from this mount-

ing location cables will be routed to the NMEA 0183

listening device. Since mounting needs will vary, here are a

couple basic methods:

Mounting the GPS 16 with magnetic mount:

1. Align the magnetic mount, with the protective coating

facing away from the unit base, with the 3 screw holes

on the bottom of the receiver.

2. Insert and tighten the 3 screws.

3. Place the receiver on a clean, metallic surface and

route cable accordingly.

Flush mounting the GPS 16:

1. With the receiver upside down, using a piece of paper,

punch holes at the 3 screw locations to create a

template.

2. Use the template to mark and drill holes large enough

for the screw to pass through at the marked location.

3. Align the receiver over the 3 holes and fasten the

screws. The M4 thread inserts for the GPS 16 are

8.10mm deep. Do not use screws that will thread

into the receiver any deeper, as this may damage the

receiver.

When routing the power/data

cable, try to avoid:

• Sharp edges which may cut the

cable.

• Routing the cable parallel to

other power lines.

• Excessively twisting, straining

or bending the cable.
