It's a navigalion systemthat usespowerful low frequency(100 kHz) radio transmitters and sensitivereceivers. Withthissystem,you can determine your positionover long distances. Loran was developed and usedduring WorldWarII. At that time it was called Loran-Aand operated at a higher frequency. Research and development continuedduringthe fifties. The currentversion, LoranC, was introduced in the sixties. It worksover longer distancesthan Loran-Aand it's easier to use. ACCURACY ICELANDIC LORAM.C CHAIN GRI 9980 REGIONAL MANAGER.

Repealableaccuracy(yourability to returnto the samespot) is 100 feet or better. The difference between the two types of accuracy is important. Absoluteaccuracy tells you where you are on the map. Repeatable accuracylets you find your way back to the same placetime aftertime.

The crossing angle of the lines of position affectsthe accuracy. The sharper the crossingangle, the more chance for position error. A ninetydegreecrossingangle is best, but it can be as low as thirty degrees withouta large positionerror. If you wish to doublecheckyour Loran, first pick a spot on thechart that is clearly marked with latitude/longitude marks. Then go to it. Once you arrive, let the Loran settle, then compare the position informationon the LMS-10 to thechart. It should be very close. HOW LORAN-CWORKS The Loran systemconsistsofthree to fivetransmitterstations.These are called a "chain." The letter "M" designatesthe master station inside the chain. The otherstations in the chain are the secondaries. Their names are W, X, Y, and Z, althoughnot all chains have four secondarystations. The secondary transmitters are synchronized with the masterwhich transmits at precise time intervals. This time interval is calledtheGroup Repetition Interval or GRI. Eachchain has a different GIRl. PDF compression, OCR, web-optimization with CVISION's PdfCompressor 1 72 The secondarystations transmitat precisetime intervalsafter the master station transmits. Since thesetransmitters are located hundreds of miles apart, it takes a different time for thesignals from each transmitterto reach you. The Loran receivermeasuresthis time differencebetween the masterand two ofthesecondaries,the LMS10 automaticallychoosesthebest master-secondary pairs for your location. Thetime difference or (TO) is measured in micro-seconds. PlottingtheTO on a chart with Loran-C lines results with your position somewhereon a line of position (LOP). A line ofposition is an imaginary line on which the time delay between the masterand one ofthe secondaries is the same. In this example the boat is located somewhere on the 14605.2 LOP. LORAN-C NORTHWEST PACIFIC CHAIN GRI 9970 The Loran receiverthen measures the time differencebetween the master and anothersecondary. In this exampleit's 31882.8. If you plot this LOP on a chart, you'll notice that it crossesthefirst line-ofposition. Your positionis at the intersection of thetwo lines. 0 AsprnlwdnLS,tof t.nr.p-- 13$fl rid S )M Fis£ncy (P5% 2flMS(.Pa... 44d1 I II IWOJIMA HOXXAIDO GESASHI W MARCUS IS. -- --. ---_ 1 ., t 2 X 3ARAGADA 'C.C __..._.___.___ -.

The receivertakes the TD information and, using a complexmathematical formula, convertsit to latitudef longitude position data. You can displayboth TD's and latitude! longitude on the LMS-10 to determine your position. It you wish to know moreabout Loran-C, orderthe United States Coast Guard's book "Loran-C USER HANDBOOK."

First, bring the Loran module'scable up throughthe hole, then pass the powercabledown it. After routing the cables,fill the holewith siliconerubber adhesive (RN). Offset the bracket to cover the hole. Routethe cables through the slot in the bracket. SLOT INSTALLATION- LC-1 Loran-C MODULE Enclosed with your the LMS-1O is a LC-1 Loran-C module. This contains thecomplete loran receiver. When choosing a mounting location for the LC-1, remember to install theLC-1 whereit's clear of other antennas, wires, masts,or otherobstructions. A high locationis preferred, however for lightning protection, the antennashouldn't be the highest part of the boat. The antenna shouldbe mounted vertically. Make certain it is as far away as possible from VHF radio antennas. Improperperformance can also occur if the antennais mounted too closeto metalobjectssuch as tuna towers. Again, a locationthat places the Loran assembly in the clearis preferableto one that is high and obstructed. You mustpurchasean eightfoot stainlesssteel or fiberglasswhip antenna. The threads are standard 318"-24 for the whip. A ratchet mount base is most commonly used to mountthe Loranto the boat. The base mountingthreads are conventional 1"-14 machine thread (NOTpipe thread). Thisallowsthe useof standardantennamounting hardware. Tightenall hardware securely. PDF compression, OCR, web-optimization with CVISION's PdfCompressor 4 69 The cable supplied with the LC-1 is thirty feet long. Do not cut the cable lilt'stootong. Instead, coil and store it out of the way. An extension cable is available it the cable is too short. Ask your dealer or call your local servicecenteror the Lowrance FactoryCustomer Service department for more information. The LC-1 can be attachedto a swivel bracket or hollow extension mast, it desired. POWER CONNECTIONS The LMS-1 0 works from a twelve-volt battery systemonly. You can attach the powercableto an accessoryor power buss, however if you have problems with electrical interference, then attachthe power cable directlyto the battery. If the cable is not long enough, splice #18 gauge wire onto it. NORTHEAST U.S. LORAN-CCHAIN GRI9960 NY REGIONALMANAGERCOMMANDER. ATLJTICAREA. NEWYORK. CHAINMANAGER COMMANDER.
