Installation

Mounting the

GPS 17

Mounting the GPS 17 with cable through mount:

1. Position the mount in the desire location and mark the

approximate center of the mount

2. Drill a hole large enough for the cable (or RJ-45 con-

nector) to pass through at the marked location.

3. Slide the cable through the mount and screw the GPS

17 onto the mount.

4. Fasten the mount to the boat

5. When running the cable, attempt to keep the cable

away from sources of electronic interference.

Wiring the GPS 17

The ﬁnal step in installing the GPS 17 is to connect the

receiver' s Port 1 DATA IN, DATA OUT, REMOTE ON/OFF,

and GROUND (Return) lines to your NMEA device or PC.

Port 2 is used for RTCM input only. The GPS 17 may be

plugged directly into a RJ-45 receptacle, which accepts

NMEA data. It is recommended that a 1A fuse be installed

on the power (+) line of the receiving RJ-45 receptacle or

equivalent device. Color coding of the wires is the same on

both the GPS 17 and GPS 17 (see wiring diagrams on follow-

ing pages). If necessary, the wire coloring on the GPS 17 may

be seen through the clear RJ-45 connector.

For reliable communication, it is essential that the GPS

17 and the receiving device share the same ground. This

ground connection acts as the (signal) Return line. It is

recommended to wire the unit to its own circuit to avoid

interference from other electronics.

Wire Coloring:

RED- Power (+) 8-40 Vdc

BLACK- Ground (Power (-) and Data Signal Return)

YELLOW- Remote power On/Off

BLUE- Port 1 NMEA Data Input

WHITE- Port 1 NMEA Data Output

GREEN- Port 2 RTCM Data Input

VIOLET- Port 2 RTCM Data Output

GRAY- Pulse Per Second Output
