AccuNav II INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS LITHO IN U.S.A. 988-0129-18 PDF compression, OCR, web-optimization with CVISION's PdfCompressor EAGI NOTES: WARNING! USE THIS GPS RECEIVER ONLY AS AN AID TO NAVIGATION. A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION This GPS receiver, (like all GPS navigation equipment) will show the shortest, mostdirect path to a waypoint. It provides navigation datato the waypoint regardless of obstructions. Therefore, the prudent navigator will not only takeadvantage ofall available navigation toolswhentravelling to awaypoint, butwill also visually check to make certain aclear, safepath to the waypoint is always available. NOTICE! As of this writing, the Department of Defense (DOD) has not declared the GPS navigation system operational. The system is still in a testing phase. Satellites canbetumedofforaccuracycan bedegraded atwillbythesystem operators. Remember thatthe AccuNav II, or anyGPSreceiveris only as accurateas the systei it's using.

Using menu featuresand "softkey"operation, the AccuNav II is also one oftheeasiest-to-use products Eagle has ever built. Thewide "Ultravision" screen shows the navigation and plotter screens with high resolution and detail. The display and keyboard are also lighted for nightoperation. This unitis also differential GPS (DGPS) ready for superioraccuracy. Read this manual and takeit with youthe firstfewtimesyou useyour unit. It makes a great reference if you need it. MOUNTING Install the AccuNav II in any convenient location, provided there is clearance behind the unitwhenit is tiltedforthe best viewing angle. Holes in the bracket base allowwoodscrewor through-bolt mounting. You may need to placea piece of plywood on the back of thinfiberglass panelsto secure the mounting hardware. Make certain thereis enough roombehind the unitto attach the power and OPS module cables.

PDF compression, OCR, web-optimization with CVISION's PdfCompressor 1 44 POWER CONNECTIONS The AccuNavII works from a twelve-volt battery system. For the best results, attach the power cable directly to the battery. You can attach the power cable to an accessoryor power buss, however you may have problems with electrical interference. Therefore, it's saferto goaheadand attach thepowercabledirectlyto battery. Ifthecableis tooshort, splice the #18 gaugewire onto it. The power cablehasfour wires; red,black, green, and white. Red is the positive lead, black is negative or ground. Make certain toattachthein-linefuseholdertothe red lead as close tothe power source as possible. For example, ifyouhave to extend the powercableto thebatteryorpowerbuss, attach one end ofthefuseholderdirectlytothe batteryor powerbuss. Thiswill protect both the unitand thepowercable in the eventof a short. The AccuNav II usesa 3-amp fuse. IMPORTANT! OPS MODULE SELF-TEST This feature tests the UPS module and returns a special code. Thiscode is of interest only to the servicedepartment. However, the AccuNav II interprets this codeand displays astatusmessage. This message is either "MODULE HAS PASSED" or "MODULE HAS FAILED" and shows at the bottom of the screen. The current software version numberalso appears near the bottom of the screen. Contact the factory customer service department if the module fails the self test. Do not attempt to use this product if itfails the self test. To use the self test feature, presstheMENU keytwicewhile it'sintheUPSmode, thenpress thekey nextto the "UPS MODULE SELF TEST" label. The screen shown at right appears.

The AccuNavll sends data to anotherelectronicnavigation devices through the white wire and receives data from a beacon receiver through the green wire. If the white and green wires are not used, tape their ends so that they cannot short. To connect a device to the AccuNav's white or green wires, attach a shielded, twisted pair cablefrom the device's NMEA intput to the white wire on the AccuNav It's power cable. Solder the ground conductor of the twisted pair and the shield to the black wire on thepowercable. Do not connect the shield to the other device. See the other instrument's manual for more wiring instructions. See the NMEA section in this manual for moreinformation. tochange the latitude fromnorthtosouth, ifnecessary. Press the key next to the "ACCEPT" label when you've entered the desired latitude offset. Repeat this procedure to the longitude. In this Position CorrjoJ Factor example, we have entered .012 degrees northlattitudeand .068 degrees east longitude as the PCF offset. That is the difference between the present position shown ontheunitandour position shown by the chart. In otherwords, ourpositionshown on the unit is 0.012 degrees north and 0.068 degrees east of the position shown on the chart. GPS MODULE INSTALLATION The GPS module can be installed on a flat surface or (with the supplied adapter) on a pole. Mount the module in an areathat guarantees a clear view ofthesky at all times. In order forthe module to receive thesignals from the satellites, it must not be obstructed. An ideal location is on a cabin roof, or deck. The gunhels also make a good location. Attaching the pole mounting adapter lets you install the module on a one inch mast. 5.5mm (7/32") 17mm However, for lightning protection, the antenna shoutn't be the highest part of the boat. (11/16") Hole (4 places) After you've entered the desired offset, press the key next to the "PCF OFFSET OFF ON" label. This turns the PCF correction factor that you entered on. To leave this screen, press the key nextto the "EXIT" label. Thisreturns the unittothe last usedGPSscreen. It also puts yourchanges intoeffect. To turn these changes off, return to this screen and press the key nextto the "PCF OFFSET OFF ON" label. Remember, Presetting the unit also erases any PCF offset, thereby turning it off. Surface Mounting - With Access If you have access underneath the mounting surface, use the gasket supplied with the OPS module as a template. Drill four 5.5 mm (7/32") holes and one 17 mm (11/16") hole for the module's cable. Attach the cable to the module and pass it down throughthe hole in thegasket and the mounting surface. Use 5 mm screws, flat washers, and lock washers to fasten the OPS module to the mounting surface. Route the cable to theAccuNavII. GASKET 5 MM SCREWS 3 PDF compression,42OCR, web-optimization with CVISION's PdfCompressor Surface Mounting - Without Access If you don't have access to the backside of the mounting surface,use the "cleats" supplied with the AccuNav II. (Note: This is assuming you can "snake" the module's cable to a location that is accessable. A hole will still need to be drilled in the mounting surface for the cable.) Using the gasketas a template, mark and drill the 17mm (11/16") hole for the cable. Attach the cable to the module and drop the other end of the cable through the gasket and down the hole. Place the module on the gasket. Slide the "cleats" onto each end of the module and (using the cleats as templates) mark four holesfor 5 mm (#10) mounting screws. Drillthe holes, then replace thecleats on the module and fastenthem to the mounting surface with 5 mm (#10) screws. Route the cable to the AccuNavII. PCFOFFSET The GPSnavigation system relies on complex mathematical calculations to determine your position based on satellite data and other factors. One factor is the Earth's shape. Since the Earth is notatruesphere,variations in the calculations haveto be made to accommodatedeviations. To make matters more com ...
