The GP-150 consists of an antenna and display unit.

The display unit is a 6" silver bright LCD, offering optimum viewing around the clock. In order to improve position accuracy, WAAS and DGPS* augmentation systems are available.Dual configuration, with a second system, provides a backup and/or remote operation to ensure system availability. *Internal or external beacon receiver is required for utilizing DGPS. Global Positioning System An outstanding solution standalone positioning d DGPS Antenna: GPS/WAAS Antenna: GPA-019S GPA-018S GPA-017S GP-150 MARINE GPS NAVIGATOR Display Unit FURUNO GP-150 is a GPS navigator designed for the SOLAS ships according to the GPS performance standard IMO Res MSC.112(73) and associated IEC standards effective on and after July 1, 2003. It is a highly reliable standalone EPFS (electronic position fixing system) that feeds positioning information to AIS, Radar, VDR, VideoPlotter, Autopilot, Echo Sounder and Sonar. Receiver dependability is improved by fault detection using five satellites, i.e., Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) that shows the integrity status in Safe, Caution, and Unsafe levels. The status is given with respect to user selected accuracy level, 10 m or 100 m. RAIM also works on DGPS signals.

Prepare a cutout in the mounting location whose dimensions are 242 (W) X 152 (H) mm. 2. Insert the unit to the cutout. 3. Attach two flush mount metals to the unit with two hex bolts (M6X12) and two spring washers. 4. Screw four wing bolts to wing nut. 5. Fasten the unit with wing bolts assembled at step 4, and then tighten nuts.

Install the antenna unit referring to the installation diagram at end of manual. When

selecting a mounting location for the antenna unit, keep in mind the following points. • Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal. • Be sure the location offers a clean line-of-sight to satellite. Objects within line-of-sight to a satellite, for example, a mast or funnel, block reception and cause prolonged acquiring time or interruption of position fix. • Mount the unit as high as possible. Mounting the antenna as high as possible keeps it free of water spray, which can intercept reception of GPS satellite signal, if water spray is frozen. • The antenna unit GPA-018S must be grounded. Connect ground wire of 1.25 sq or larger (local supply) between the antenna unit and a stainless steel screw fastened to the mast. • The antenna unit GPA-018S must be taped. See next page. • The antenna unit should be fixed to the mast as below. Coat here with silicone sealant to prevent breakage of the cable by vibration. Wrap the vinyl sheet to prevent the breakage of the cable, and then fix it with a hose clamp.

The higher the value, the stronger the signal. If a noise appears at reception bandwidth, the value becomes bigger. This value is between 1 to 22. The higher the value, the better the reception of beacon signal. When this value is less than 20, the error is included in the correction data. In this time, position fixing is done by using past position data. When the ship is in the service area of a beacon station, this value should be 21 or 22. If not, check as follows. • Check the grounding. • Check the radar beam interference. • Check the noise of power generator of the ship. *It is necessary that GPS is working properly. When GPS is malfunctioning though DGPS is normal, the message "No Good" may be shown.

14 Input/Output Setting The GP-150 can output navigation information to external equipment. For example, it can output position data to a radar or echo sounder for display on their display screen. You can convert a Loran Plotter to a GPS Plotter with position data from the GP-150. Before selecting data to output, confirm what data the external equipment requires. Output necessary data only. Outputting unnecessary data can cause receiving problems at the external equipment. Talker All data transmitted by marine electronics equipment is prefixed with a two-character code which tells external equipment what equipment is transmitting data. This two-character code is called the talker. The GP-150 contains the talkers GP, LC and DE. Because GPS is a relatively new system some early model equipments do not recognize the GP talker name. In this case transmit data using a conventional talker, which equipment recognizes, such as Loran C.

General data 1) Input of waypoint data Connect YEOMAN equipment to DATA4 port. 2) Input and output of waypoint / route data TX Rate of operation The TX rate of operation is the percentage of data output in one second, and it appears on the screen. Refer to page 18. If short intervals are assigned to many sentences, the rate of operation increases as illustrated below TX TX TX TX rate of operation: Low TX TX TX TX TX TX rate of operation: High Note 1: When outputting data without rest intervals between data, TX rate of operation is 100%. In this case, wrong data may be shown on the receiver because it cannot recognize intervals between data. Thus, do not output unnecessary data or set TX interval to large value so that TX rate of operation becomes small. Note 2: When the external equipment cannot display correct data input from the GP-150, the rate of operation should be lowered. For example, set a rate of operation less than 60 % for the Temperature Indicator TI-20.

A window similar to the one shown in Figure 4-3 appears. The waypoint's position and date and time registered appear on the first and second lines. Waypoints are automatically given the youngest empty waypoint number and this number appears on the third line. You may, however, assign a different number. If the waypoint shares the same position with a mark, the mark's position and date and time entered are registered as waypoint data. If the waypoint memory is full, the waypoint number line in the window is blank. In this case waypoints cannot be entered unless a waypoint is written over or deleted. To assign waypoint number, go to step 5. If you do not want to change the waypoint number, go to step 6 to select mark shape and enter comment. 30° 12.345’ N 135° 23.456’ W AUG 12’ 95 12 : 34U Mark : Cmnt : 123 1 No. : ENT: Enter MENU: Escape : Column : Cursor Figure 4-3 5) Enter waypoint number, in three digits (001-999).

5-7 5.4 Finding Range and Bearing Between Two Points Selecting Course Sailing Method The range and bearing to a destination are calculated by two ways: Great Circle or Rhumb Line. However, cross track error is calculated by rhumb line only. Great Circle: The great circle courseline is the shortest course between two points on the surface of the earth. (Imagine stretching a piece of yarn between two points on the earth.) However, this course requires frequent change of heading to follow course faithfully. Rhumb Line: The rhumb line courseline is the straight line drawn between two points on a nautical chart. This course does not require frequent changes of heading however it is not the shortest since it follows the earth's curvature. 1) Press MENU ESC, 9 and 1 to display the PLOTTER SETUP menu.

8.1 GPS Menu

Menu description Fix mode Two position fixing modes are available: 2D and 2/3D. The 2D mode provides two dimensional position fixes (latitude and longitude only) and is used when three satellites are in line of sight of the GPS receiver. The 2/3D mode switches between two and three dimension position fixing automatically depending on how many satellites (three or four) are in light of sight of the GPS receiver. ANT Height Enter the height of the antenna unit above sea surface (000-999 ft, 000-304 m). The default setting is 16 ft. Disable satellite Every GPS satellite is broadcasting abnormal satellite number(s) in the Almanac. Using this information, the GPS receiver automatically eliminates any malfunctioning satellite from the GPS satellite schedule. However, the Almanac sometimes may not contain this information. You can disable an inoperative satellite manually on the GPS SETUP menu. GPS smoothing, position When the DOP or receiving condition is unfavorable, the GPS fix may change greatly, even if the vessel is dead in water. This change can be reduced by smoothing the raw GPS fixes. A setting between 0 and 9 is available. The higher the setting the more smoothed the raw data, however too high a setting slows response time to change in latitude and longitude. This is especially noticeable at high ship’s speeds. "0" is the normal setting; increase the setting if the GPS fix changes greatly. GPS smoothing, speed During position fixing, ship’s velocity (speed and course) is directly measured by receiving GPS satellite signals. The raw velocity data may change randomly depending on receiving conditions and other factors. You can reduce this random variation by increasing the smoothing. Like with latitude and longitude smoothing, the higher the speed and course smoothing the more smoothed the raw data. If the setting is too high, however, the response to speed and course change slows. For no smoothing, enter "0." "5" is suitable for most conditions. Speed average Calculation of ETA and TTG, etc. is based on average ship’s speed over a given period. The default setting is one minute. RAIM function/RAIM accuracy RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) is a diagnostic function which tests the accuracy of the GPS signal. To use the RAIM function, enter the range (from own ship in meters) for which you want to know position confidence, on the GPS Setup 2/2 menu. The receiver estimates position confidence using range value and detected satellite error, and displays (provided the RAIM function is active) the results as one of three levels of position confidence, at the top right-hand corner of the screen. The three levels are as follows: SAFE: GPS signal is normal. The positioning accuracy satisfies the setting value. CAUTION: RAIM accuracy cannot be calculated. (Signals from more than five GPS satellites are necessary.) The positioning accuracy does not satisfy the setting value. UNSAFE: GPS signal is abnormal, therefore the positioning accuracy is not reliable. Note that the GP-150 does not exclude abnormal signals automatically.
