Installation Wiring the GPS 16 Mounting the GPS 16 The fi nal step in installing the GPS 16 is to connect the receiver’s Port 1 DATA IN, DATA OUT, REMOTE ON/OFF and GROUND (Return) lines to your NMEA 0183 device or PC. Port 2 is used for RTCM input only. The GPS 16 may be plugged directly into a RJ-45 receptacle, which accepts NMEA 0183 data. It is recommended that a 1-amp, slow blow fuse be installed on the power (+) line of the receiving RJ-45 receptacle or equivalent device. Color codi
