To wire the GPS 17 to a NMEA Device or PC

Connector:

1. Connect the White (Port 1 Data Out) wire from the

GPS 17's power/data cable to the DATA INPUT line

of the NMEA device or to pin 2 on a DB-9 (pin 3 on

DB-25).

2. Connect the Blue (Port 1 Data In) wire to the DATA

OUTPUT line of the NMEA device or pin 3 on the

DB-9 (pin 2 on DB-25).

3. Connect the Black (-) wire to the GROUND wire of

the NMEA device and/or pin 5 on the DB-9 (pin 7

on DB-25). If connecting to a PC, the Black (-) wire

must also be run to a ground.

If the Black wire is connected to the same ground

terminal as the NMEA device, no additional

connection is required, unless a separate data return

line is required by the NMEA device.

4. Connect the Red (+) wire from the power/data cable

to a 8–40 VDC power source.

5. If the receiver is being wired to a circuit that is

already switched, (with the NMEA device for

example) connect the Yellow wire to the same place

as the Black wire. When the Black and Yellow wires

are combined, the GPS 17 will turn on/off when

power is applied/removed to the Red (+) wire.

If a remote power switch is being installed, refer to

Figure 6 on

page

7. This will allow the GPS 17 to

remain connected to a power source but manually

powered on (pull down to less than 0.5 volts) and off

(open).

Some non-Garmin devices may have a separate data line

labeled RETURN, DATA GROUND, or DATA -. If one of

these lines exist, connect the Black wire from the power/

data cable to it.

You may output data to up to three NMEA devices. The

number of devices is determined by the total amount of

impedance from all devices.
