3. Your NMEA Cable allows you to connect your Handheld GPS Receiver to an external
12 VDC power supply. If you choose to run your Handheld GPS Receiver from an
external 12 VDC power supply, connect the black wire to ground (-) and the red wire
to positive (+) 12 VDC power.
CAUTION: Use caution before connecting the red +12V wire to your Handheld GPS Receiver, and
consult your Handheld GPS Receiver manufacturer’s user manual before connecting power and
ground. Some Handheld GPS Receivers have a different voltage input than 12V.
4. Power up the Fishing System Control Head (see your Fishing System Operations
Manual for details).
NOTE: The Fishing System accepts NMEA 0183 version 2.20 input at 4800 baud and listens for the
NMEA sentences RMC and GGA to determine current position, heading, speed, time and date. In
addition, the GSA and GSV sentences are used to monitor GPS satellite location and usage.
5. If the NMEA output of your Handheld GPS Receiver can be configured, confirm the
following settings on your GPS Handheld Receiver:
• NMEA Output = enabled
• Baud rate = 4800
• RMS and GGA sentences = enabled
NOTE:
See your the Handheld GPS Receiver manufacturer’s user manual for NMEA output information.
Bare Wire Cable Installation (AS-HHGPS)
Use the following instructions to connect your Handheld GPS to your fishing system using the
AS-HHGPS. You will need to purchase the NMEA data cable (not included) from the
manufacturer of your Handheld GPS Receiver.
1. Insert the Handheld GPS Cable’s NMEA-COM connector into the appropriate terminal
slot on the back of your Fishing System control head. The slots are keyed to prevent
reverse installation, so be careful not to force the connector into the holder. The
pinouts of the Humminbird® NMEA data cable are as follows:
• Red Wire: +12V
• Black Wire: Ground
• Green Wire: NMEA In
• White Wire: NMEA Out.
NOTE:
When the Fishing System detects the NMEA-input from the Handheld GPS Receiver,
the Combo, Track and Bird’s Eye Views will be added automatically to the VIEW key function.
A Navigation Menu tab and the Navigation X-Press
TM
Menu will also be added automatically
to the menu system.
