Garmin GPSMAP 4008 - Marine GPS Receiver Installation Instructions Manual

GPSMAP® 4000/5000 Series Installation Instructions The GPSMAP 4000/5000 series chartplotter and GPS 17 antenna must be properly installed according to the following instructions. You need the appropriate fasteners, tools, and mounts listed in each section. These items are available at most marine dealers. Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding. When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface. Mount the GPSMAP 4000/5000 series unit in a location that provides a clear, glare-free view of the display and easy oper ...

To install the bail mount and unit: 1. Using the bail mount as a template, mark the location of the four mounting holes. Be sure to leave at least 5" (12.7 cm) of clearance behind the unit for the wiring. NOTE: Mount a 4008/4208/5008/5208 unit 31 1/4" (80 cm), and a 4012/4212/5012/5212 unit 39 3/8" from a magnetic compass to avoid interference. 2. Using an appropriately sized drill bit, drill the pilot holes for your mounting hardware. 3. Secure the bail mount to the surface with your mounting hardware. 4. Loosely attach the mounting knobs to the GPSMAP 4000/5000 series unit. 5. Slide the unit onto th ...

To flush mount the unit: 1. The flush mount template is included in the product box. Trim the template and ensure it will fit in the location you want to flush mount the unit. Note: Make sure the surface on which you mount the unit has at least 7" (17.75 cm) of open space behind it to fit the unit and the connected wires. Note: Make sure to leave approximately 1/2" (13 mm) of space on the right side of the unit to access the SD card door. NOTE: Mount a 4008/4208/5008/5208 unit 31 1/4" (80 cm), and a 4012/4212/5012/5212 unit 39 3/8" (1 m) from a magnetic compass to avoid interference. 2. The flush mou ...

Mounting the GPS 17 Antenna Either flush mount the GPS 17 Antenna or install it on on any standard 1" O. D. 14 threads-per-inch marine mount. When mounting the GPS 17, the cable can be run externally, through the mounting surface, or through the center of the marine mount. The GPS 17 connects to the 19-pin NMEA 0183 cable on the GPSMAP 4000/5000 series unit and provides the GPS/WAAS signal to the unit. If two or more Garmin Marine Network chartplotters are installed and connected to a network, only install one GPS 17 antenna. See page 5 for wiring instructions. To ensure the best reception, mount t ...

To attach the enclosed pole mount adapter to the GPS 17: 1. Thread the cable though the pole mount adapter. 2. Align the tab on the pole mount adapter to the notch on the GPS 17. 3. Use the enclosed screws to secure the pole mount adapter to the base of the GPS 17. Attaching the Pole Mount Adapter to the GPS 17 Align Notch To mount the GPS 17 with the cable run outside the mount: 1. Place the cable in the vertical slot along the base of the assembled GPS 17 and pole mount adapter. 2. Screw the assembled GPS 17 and pole mount adapter onto a standard 1" O. D. 14 threads-per-inch marine mount (not inc ...

Wiring and Cables The GPSMAP 4000/5000 series unit comes with a power cable, a 19-pin NMEA 0183 data cable, and a 17-pin Marine Video cable. Optional Garmin Marine Network components use specialized Garmin Network cables. Depending on the installation, it may be necessary to drill holes to route the connector end of these cables. Garmin rubber grommets are provided to cover these holes for a finished look. You may not need the grommets in some installations. The grommets do NOT create a waterproof seal. Apply a marine sealant around the grommet and cable after installation. Be sure to test the system ...

Wiring the GPS 17 Antenna The GPS 17 antenna must be wired to the included 19-pin NMEA 0183 cable as well as to the boat’s power supply. Refer to the diagram below when wiring the GPS 17 to the 19-pin NMEA 0183 cable. Use 22 AWG shielded wiring for extended runs of wire to the NMEA 0183 cable or GPS 17 cable. Solder all connections and seal them with heat shrink tubing. Note: If you are using more than one Garmin chartplotter over a Garmin Marine Network, only wire one chartplotter to a GPS 17. The GPS signal is shared between multiple chartplotters connected to a Garmin Marine Network. Wiring the ...

The Garmin Marine Network Cable: • The Garmin Marine Network Cable has a locking ring that secures the cable to the chartplotter or marine network device. Because of the size of this locking ring, it is not connected to the network cable at the factory to make it easier to install on your boat. • Once the cable is run to the chartplotter or network device, snap the locking ring together around the connector and insert the rubber washer as indicated on the instructions packaged with the cable.

Wiring Additional NMEA 0183 Devices The NMEA 0183 data cable included with the GPSMAP 4000/5000 series chartplotter supports the NMEA 0183 standard, which is used to wire various NMEA 0183-compliant devices, such as VHF radios, NMEA instruments, autopilots, or a computer. The GPSMAP 4000/5000 series unit features four ports to receive NMEA 0183 data (RX ports), and two ports to send NMEA 0183 data (TX ports). Wire one NMEA 0183 device per RX port to send data to a 4000/5000 series unit, wire up to three NMEA 0183 devices in parallel to each TX port to receive data from a 4000/5000 series unit. Each R ...

Connecting to a NMEA 2000 Network The GPSMAP 4000/5000 series unit is NMEA 2000 certified, and can receive data from a NMEA 2000 network installed on the boat to show engine specific information on the Gauges section of the Information screen. Also, the unit can receive heading data from a heading sensor connected to an installed NMEA 2000 network. The 4000/5000 series unit features a male NMEA 2000 Micro-connector. Connect the unit to an installed NMEA 2000 network using a cable with a female NMEA 2000 Micro connector on one end and the appropriate connector for the installed NMEA 2000 network on t ...

Marine Video Cable The included Marine Video 17-pin cable allows input of NTSC (National Television System Committee)/PAL (Phase Alternate Line) composite video sources, and PC monitor output (4008/4208/5008/5208 = VGA output, 4012/4212/5012/5212 = XGA output). Marine Video inputs are only available on the chartplotter to which they are attached and will not transmit over the Garmin Marine Network. 1 & 2. VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2 Inputs (RCA connectors) allow input from two separate NTSC/PAL compatible video devices, such as VCR, DVD, TV, or a video camera. The chartplotter can display one video input at ...

Making the Final Connections to the GPSMAP 4000/5000 Unit Once the power cable and the GPS 17 antenna (as well as any optional Garmin Marine Network devices, NMEA 0183 devices, NMEA 2000 connections, or video connections) have been wired to the boat, the cables must be connected to the GPSMAP 4000/5000 series unit. There are seven connectors on the back of the unit, one for power, three for Garmin Marine Network devices, one for the NMEA 0183 cable, one for a NMEA 2000 cable, and one for the marine video cable. To attach the power cable, the NMEA 0183 cable, and the marine video cable, carefully pres ...
