Features

The GP-30/35 GPS Navigator is a totally integrated GPS receiver and video plotter, and consists of a display unit and an antenna unit. The high sensitivity receiver tracks up to eight satellites simultaneously. An 8-state Kalman filter ensures optimum accuracy in determination of vessel position, course and speed. The main features of the GP-30/35 are GP-35 has a built-in DGPS beacon receiver which improves position accuracy. A DGPS beacon receiver may be connected to the GP-30. Comprehensive navigation data displays Storage for 350 waypoints and 30 routes Alarms: Arrival, Anchor Watch, Cross Track Error and Ships Speed Man overboard feature records latitude and longitude or LOP (Loran C or Decca) coordinates at time of man overboard and provides continuous updates of range and bearing when navigating to the MOB position. Menu-driven operation Bright 95 x 60 mm LCD with adjustable contrast and brilliance Power consumption is a low 3 W. Provision for connection of autopilot (option) steering data output to autopilot Unique Highway display provides a graphic presentation of ships progress toward a waypoint. Own ships position may be shown in latitude and longitude or LOP (Loran C or Decca). Waypoint and route data can be uploaded from a PC or downloaded to a PC.

1.3 Turning On and Off the Power

Turning on the power

Turning off the power
Press and hold down the [DIM/PWR] key until the screen goes blank.
Press and hold down the [DIM/PWR] key. The unit beeps and then starts up with the last-used display mode. The GP-30/35 takes about two minutes to find its position when turned on for the very first time. This is because the default position is San Francisco, USA. If you want to lessen the time needed to find position you may enter your position manually on the SIMULATOR screen of the SYSTEM SETUP MENU, referring to 1.7 Simulator Display on page 1-8. Thereafter it takes about 20 seconds to find position each time the power is turned on. If position could not be found, GPS NO FIX appears at the center of the display. When the satellite signal is being received normally, the GP-30/35 displays various abbreviations at the top left-hand corner of the display which show receiver status. Table 1-1 shows these abbreviations and their meanings. Table 1-1 Display abbreviations

7.4 Magnetic Variation

The location of the magnetic north pole is different from the geographical north pole. This causes a difference between the true and magnetic north direction. This difference is called magnetic variation, and varies with respect to the observation point on earth. The GP-30/35 is preprogrammed with all the earth's magnetic variation. However, you may wish to enter variation manually to refine accuracy. 1. Press the [MENU] key twice. 2. Select PLOTTER and press the [ENT] key. 3. Select the MAG. VAR. line. 4. Press the [ENT] key. 5. Select AUTO or MANU and press the [ENT] key. For automatic magnetic variation, current variation appears to the right of AUTO.

GPS SETUP menu description
Calculation of ETA and TTG, etc. is based on average ship's speed over a given period. If the period is too long or too short calculation error will result. Change this setting if calculation error occurs. The default setting is one minute. LAT/LON OFFSET (Position offset) You may apply an offset to position generated by the GPS receiver, to increase position accuracy. DISABLE SV (Disable satellite) Every GPS satellite is broadcasting abnormal satellite number(s) in its Almanac, which contains general orbital data about all GPS satellites. 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. Enter satellite number in two digits and press the [ENT] key. To restore a satellite enter 0.
SMOOTH POS (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 999 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 ships speeds. 0 is the normal setting; increase the setting if the GPS fix changes greatly.

8.1 Maintenance

Check the following points regularly to maintain performance: Check that connectors on the rear panel are firmly tightened and free of rust. Check that the ground system is free of rust and the ground wire is tightly fastened. Check that battery terminals are clean and free of rust. Check the antenna for damage. Replace if damaged. Dust and dirt on the keyboard and display screen may be removed with a soft cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners to clean the equipment; they may remove paint and markings.

Fuse holder + line (red)

The display unit contains a CPU. While it is operating, it radiates noise, which can interfere with radio equipment. Ground the unit as follows to prevent interference: The ground wire should be 1.25sq or larger. The ground wire should be as short as possible. The signal ground and frame ground are separated, however the power line is not isolated. Therefore, do not connect the signal ground to the frame ground when connecting other equipment to a positive ground battery. The antenna unit GPA-018 must be grounded. Connect a ground wire of 1.25sq or larger (local supply) between the ground terminal on the antenna unit and a stainless steel screw fastened to the mast. Coat the ground terminal, stainless steel screw and crimp-on lugs on the ground wire with silicone sealant. The power of the GP-35 is not isolated, thus the earth lamp may light when the antenna unit is grounded. If it lights, attach two capacitors (1F, 0.1F) in parallel to the antenna earth line.
