Installation & Accessories
Preparations
You can install the GPS system in some other order if you prefer, but
we recommend this installation sequence:
Caution:
You should read over this entire installation section before drill-
ing any holes in your vehicle or vessel!
1. Determine the approximate location for the GPS unit, so you can
plan how and where to route the cables for the antenna and power.
This will help you make sure you have enough cable length for the de-
sired configuration.
2. Determine the approximate location for the GPS antenna module
and its cable route.
3. Determine the location of your battery or other power connection,
along with the power cable route.
4. Install the GPS antenna and route the antenna cable to the GPS
unit's mounting location.
5. Install the power cable and route it to the GPS unit's mounting location.
6. Mount the GPS unit.
GPS Antenna/Receiver Module
This unit's package includes the LGC-2000 GPS module. This device con-
tains the unit's external antenna and receiver for GPS and WAAS signals.
The antenna/receiver module comes with a 25-foot Y-adapter extension
cable. This module can be mounted on a flat surface or pole, or an optional
magnet is available for temporary mounting on any ferrous surface.
The LGC-2000 requires 9 to 20 volts DC power. It draws power through
the unit or from the NMEA 2000 buss (instructions on powering a
NMEA 2000 buss appear later in this section).
