NS 10 Operations Manual HOW THE NS 10 WORKS There are two main components of the NS 10 navigational system: the receiver which mounts outside the cabin at a high, unobstructed point on your boat, and the NS 10 control head, which mounts on the console or at some other point convenient for use. The receiver and the NS 10 communicate by means of a coaxial cable, and are powered by your boat’s 12 volt electrical system or battery. The receiver, when in clear view of the sky, receiv

A variety of standard marine antenna hardware is available at marine dealers, which fit the 1”-14 female mounting threads on the receiver. Fiberglass shaft extensions are helpful accessories for attaining maximum performance from the NS 10 receiver, however, before purchasing an extension make certain that the inside diameter is at least ½” if you plan to route the cable through the extension mast. When choosing a location to mount the receiver, unobstructed visibility of the sk

- Any accessories such as the NMEA output cable should be routed before installing the NS 10. MOUNTING THE RECEIVER Deck Mount Follow the instructions below if you are deck mounting the receiver: (Figure 3) 1. Once you have located a mounting position that affords maximum satellite visibility to the receiver, make sure you can gain sufficient access to the lower side of the deck to insert the mounting bolt and tighten it. The maximum thickness of the mounting surface

6. Place the stem mount with either the spacer or the rubber gasket over the mounting holes and fasten using the mounting screws provided. If the spacer is used, the receiver must be held in close proximity to the stem mount so that the cable may be routed through the gap in the side of the spacer prior to installing the screws. 7. Install the locking nut (inverted) onto the stem mount. 8. Install the receiver onto the stem mount by tightening clockwise being careful not to bind or over-tw

INSTALLING THE CONTROL HEAD Gimbal Bracket Mount Follow instructions below for mounting the NS 10 with the gimbal bracket. (Refer to Figure 6) 1. Set the gimbal bracket on the mounting surface. 2. Mark the position of the 4 mounting holes for mounting screws. 3. At least 3" behind the bracket, mark and drill a hole 5/8" to 3/4" in diameter through which to route the cables. 4. Position the hole cover over the 5/8" hole. Mark and drill the two 1/8" mounting screw holes. 5.

IMPORTANT: Do not shorten the 40' receiver cable or connect the receiver directly to the control head without the 40' receiver cable. This will cause damage to the NS 10 electronics and void your warranty. Do not cut and splice the cables from the receiver to the control head. This will also void your warranty. If your boat does not have a fuse panel, you can wire the power cable directly to the battery with an in-line fuse holder (not included) in the positive (+) wire. Never connect th

2. DIFFERENTIAL BEACON RECEIVER INPUT: The connector provides an input port for a differential GPS signal. When using DGPS there will be an indicator on your display. If the indicator is a hollow box the NS 10 is receiving information from the receiver. If the box is filled in then good information is being received. When DGPS is displayed the NS 10 is operating in the differential mode and latitude/longitude values should be within DGPS tolerances. 3. NMEA OUTPUT: This connector,

Gimbal Mounting Bracket: Allows the NS 10 to be adjusted to the optimum viewing angle. To adjust, loosen the knobs on the gimbal mounting bracket and adjust the unit for best visibility. After adjusting, tighten the knobs and the unit will stay in position. TURNING THE NS 10 ON AND OFF If you have completely installed your NS 10, and the receiver, you should test the installation, by reading through this section.

The unit first performs an internal self test (Refer to Trouble-shooting for more information). After about 10 seconds, the display will show which map is installed in your unit and the map datum. Check to see that the installed map is the map you are expecting, US or International. If the installed map is something other than what you need, call our Customer Service Hotline listed on the rear cover of the manual. This screen also contains a statement concerning built-in maps.

At least three satellites must be located in order for the NS 10 to ascertain its position and you can watch its progress in the on-screen graphic. As the NS 10 searches for satellites, the satellite number will appear in a white icon. When a satellite is being tracked the icon will turn dark. During a cold start, it is far easier for the NS 10 to provide a position “fix” when it is stationary. After the position has been determined, the NS 10 will provide accurate information at speed

IMPORTANT: Before using existing Loran TD numbers, you should be aware that there is a difference between the absolute accuracy and the repeatable accuracy of Loran units. Whereas GPS receivers effectively have no difference between absolute and repeatable accuracy, the absolute and repeatable accuracy will vary greatly with Loran units. Lorans provide poor absolute accuracy (500 meters or more), therefore, using an existing TD number from a Loran unit in a GPS receiver will result in a v
