• Airmar G2183, 5 WARNING: GPS Accuracy The GPS position and velocity accuracies are controlled by the U.S. Department of Defence. Therefore the position accuracy described in the specifications cannot be guaranteed. WARNING: Correct Installation Important The GPS receiver must be installed and operated according to the instructions in this owner’s guide. Failure to do so may result in poor product performance, damage to the boat, and/or personal injury. WARNING: Electrical Safety The power supply voltage must be 12VD

• Airmar G2183, 7 Choosing the Mounting Location For a reliable GPS signal, selecting the best location for the receiver is very important. It can be mounted on a pole, rail, or flat surface. Choose a location that balances the requirements below. • The GPS receiver must have a clear view of the sky to the horizon in all directions. However, the lower it can be mounted, the more stable it will be, to better track satellites low on the horizon. • Mount away from any VHF radio, satellite, radar, or other antennas to avoid mutual interference (see Figure 1). • The compass safe distance for standard and steering c

• Airmar G2183, 8 Installing IMPORTANT: Plan the cable route between the GPS receiver and the display and/or network before beginning the installation. Pole or Rail Mount The nut assembly supplied has standard marine 1"-14 threads that can be screwed to a standard marine antenna mount, extension pole, or rail-mount bracket. Before beginning the installation, plan for securing the pole/rail bracket to the boat and purchase all the necessary hardware. It may be helpful to fasten the pole/rail bracket to the boat before proceeding. WARNING: Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask. 1. Remove the label from the sensor unit’s so

• 9 2. Decide if you want the cable to exit through the center or along the side of the pole/rail bracket. Slide the nut assembly onto the cable at the 9-pin sensor connector end. Do not connect the sensor at this time. a. Center exit—Pass the instrument connector end of the cable down through the center of the pole. Be sure to leave several inches of cable e

• 10 Flush Mount WARNING: Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask. 1. Remove the label from over the sensor unit’s socket (see Figure 3). Apply removable thread locker to the two studs supplied. Screw the studs into the underside of the sensor unit (part A). 2. Using the gasket (part B) as a template, position it at the selected mounting location upside down wi

• Airmar G2183, 11 Cable Routing & Connecting Guidelines WARNING: Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when installing. CAUTION: To reduce electrical interference from other electrical wiring and any on-board equipment with strong magnetic fields such as radar equipment, radio transmitters, boat engines, generators, etc., separate the cables by at least 1m (3'). CAUTION: Do not remove the waterproof connector(s) to ease cable routing. If the cable must be cut and spliced, use Airmar’s splash-proof Junction Box No. 33-035 and

• Airmar G2183, 12 NOTE 1: The sensor must be supplied with 12 VDC (±3 VDC) at 0.5 amp. NOTE 2: If your display does not have NMEA 0183 output connections, the yellow and orange wires are not needed and their ends should be taped separately. (Alternatively, yellow and orange wires can be connected to an external sensor.) NOTE 3: The display power may be wired directly to the sensor cable, or it may be wired separately. No Connector—Wiring 1. Allowing an extra 25 cm (10") for wiring ease, cut the cable to length. 2. Strip 60mm (2-1/2") of the outer jacket and foil shielding from the cut end of the ca

• Airmar G2183, 13 Connecting to an NMEA 2000 ® Network CAUTION: Only two termination resistors are required on an NMEA 2000 network. More than two will degrade the bus performance. IMPORTANT: When using a cable that is longer than 6m (20'), remove the termination resistor at the last node/tee on the NMEA 2000 network. Insert the male-to-male pin into socket 5 of the sensor connector to activate the termination resistor located inside the sensor (see Figure 6). Note that using a termination resistor inside a sensor deviates from the published NMEA 2000 installation practices. Route the sensor cable to the N
