'. -+)) - an advanced navigation and high performance position-
ing tool for the professional fleet ....and yet uncomplicated to operate.
The GN30 MKII has a 6" large bright 4 level monochrome LCD dis-
play. The latest GPS receiver technology and built-in differential* re-
ceiver ensures optimum accuracy at all times. Two units can be
connected together forming: The Bridge System ... one at the chart ta-
ble for planning and the other at the helm for navigation. Waypoints
and routes are transferred from planning to helm via a high speed data
link.

4HE 'LOBAL 0OSITIONING 3YSTEM is rapidly becoming the most common

system used for navigation and positioning all over the world.
Not only for maritime use, but also for land-based applications and
aviation.
The satellite-based system has been developed and is operated by the
US Department of Defence in order to provide an accurate and reliable
service, which include a 24-hour global coverage.
The GPS system consists of approx. 24 satellites which orbit around
the Earth at an altitude of approx. 20,200 km.
The satellites transmit perfectly syncronized data. However, depend-
ing on the position, the signals will reach the receiver at a slightly dif-
ferent time. By adding the measured time difference to the known
position of the satellites it is possible to calculate the ship’s position to
within a few meters.
(OW TO USE THIS MANUAL

It is a good idea if you make yourself familiar with the key functions
and menu structure described in chapter 2 before you start out, and
then proceed with section 2.2 Getting started.
F See also Appendix A, Glossary of terms for description of abbrevia-
tions, etc.

3ERVICE The GN30 MKII is sealed and does not contain any user serv-
iceable parts. Opening of the unit will void its warranty. Touching
electrical parts inside may cause bodily harm or death. If the unit is not
working properly, please check section 7.7 Troubleshooting. If your
GN30 MKII requires servicing or repair, cal your authorized SIMRAD
dealer.
0OWER SOURCE FUSE AND POWER CABLE Check that the DC power sup-
plied to the unit is within the range of 10 to 32 volts. Note that the ap-
ropriate fuse must be employed (see the fuse rating in section 7.4
Electrical connections. Ensure that the power cord is firmly attached.
'ROUNDING To ensure optimum performance of your equipment and

to reduce electrical interference and risk of electrical shock, you need
to properly ground the unit to the ship’s ground, using the ground
screw on the back of the unit.

Small letters (a,b,c,) indicate that SA is active, and the
position accuracy is expected to be better than 100 me-
tres in 95% of the time. Capital letters indicate that SA
is OFF, and the position accuracy is then expected to
be 15 metres or better in 95% of the time.
dGPS indicates that differential data is received, either
via built-in differential receiver or from external re-
ceiver. And DGPS indicates that the position is cor-
20
rected by the differential data. The accuracy will typi-
cally be 3-5 metres.
In order to utilize the high accuracy of the GPS system,

it is necessary to align the lat/long calculations to the
paper charts you are using. Refer to setup for NAV-da-
tum, section 5.1.1.

-ASTER RESET

KEYS TO PRESS
If the unit is totally locked i.e. no immediate response

from the keypad, the unit can be reset by disconnecting
the power supply and then starting up again by simulta-
neously pressing the three keys: 4 + 7 + PWR while the
power cable is being re-connected. Hold the keys de-
pressed for two seconds and then let go.
See below !FTER A MASTER RESET
If the unit is still ’alive’ but has ceased to respond to

normal operation, you can make a limited master reset.
A full reset will erase all data, waypoints, and settings,
and restore the basic settings from the factory.

)NSTALLATION OF ANTENNA

The antenna must be placed in a position where tall
constructions, steel wires, masts, etc. do not obstruct
the view to the satellites. Do not, however, mount the
antenna in the top of a mast or tower, as this may de-
grade the COG and SOG readings, especially if DGPS
is used. Do not place the antenna close to sources of
electrical interference, such as radar, satcom, etc.
If installing the GPS antenna close to other antennas it
must be placed either above or below the radiation
beams. There is full coverage down to 20° below the
horizon.
3ATCOM 6(& 2ADAR

"EAM AREA Avoid installing the GPS antenna
inside the beam area.
-OUNTING OF $'03 ANTENNA -',

Mount the antenna on a standard US 1" 14 thread
pipe, or optional standard antenna mount. Tighten
firmly, but only by hand - no use of tools. Attach the
antenna cable to the TNC socket.
-OUNTING OF '03 ANTENNA 23

Loosen the Allen screw (1) of the antenna adaptor.
Guide the antenna cable through the adaptor and con-
nect it to the antenna. Screw the adaptor firmly onto the
antenna and lock it with the Allen screw (1).

F $O NOT CLOSE THE SMALL VENTILATION HOLE AT THE

BOTTOM OF THE ANTENNA AND DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN

5NIVERSAL ANTENNA MOUNTING KIT FOR '03 ANTENNA 23
Mounting examples:
The universal antenna mount is for vertical and

horizontal pipes of 20-40 mm.
Part no. 101.5642:

The kit consist of an adaptor and a
stainless steel bracket.
The antenna adaptor from the mounting kit will

also fit directly onto a standard US 1" 14 thread
pipe.
Ask your dealer for further informa-

tion regarding these special mount-
ings.
When utilizing the adaptor from the,

mounting kit, be careful to GENTLY turn
the cable along with the antenna when
screwing it onto the adaptor.

0OWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS

The internal voltage regulator will allow the GN30 MKII to operate nor-
mally over the power supply voltage range from 10 to 32 Vdc. Connec-
tion between the GN30 MKII and the external power supply is
accomplished by means of the supplied power cable, which is approxi-
mately 1.5 meters long.
After connecting the cable to the power source, push the plug as far as it
will go into the two pin receptacle marked ’PWR’ on the rear of the cabi-
net and turn the plug’s coupling ring clockwise until it makes a click.
The use of longer cable runs, while possible, always increases the likeli-
hood of increased interference and decreased performance. Care must be
taken when increasing the cable lengths to ensure that proper, adequate
and consistent shielding is maintained, that cable of adequate cross sec-
tion is used, and that all connections are properly made and protected
from the effects of the marine environment.
&USE
Warning! A fuse should always be installed to protect the unit.
Using a fuse which is not specified for your equipment can cause it to
blow the instant the GN30 MKII has been switched on or it will not pro-
tect the equipment as intended.

The GN30 MKII does not require any maintenance other than an occa-
tional external cleaning. We recommend the use of a cloth with mild
soap water. F .EVER USE CLEANING SOLUTIONS CONTAINING SPIRIT OR ALCOHOL
Periodically check the electrical connections. Make sure that connections

are tight and that no cables are frayed or worn. In event of frayed or
worn cables, have them repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
