WHAT IS WAAS?WAAS, available in North America, is a provider in the worldwide SBAS (Satellite BasedAugmentation System) navigation system. An SBAS provider furnishes GPS signal correctionsto SBAS users, for even better position accuracy, typically better than three meters. Two moreSBAS providers are also currently under development, MSAS (Multi-Functional SatelliteAugmentation System) for Japan and EGNOS (Euro Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service)for Europe. All providers will be compatible with one another, thus providing “seamless” positionfixes to SBAS users.At the time of this software release, WAAS is still in the developmental phase. During thisdevelopmental phase, which may last several years, there is no guarantee of the accuracy,integrity, continuity, or availability of the WAAS signal. Therefore, FURUNO will accept noresponsibility for the use of the signal for other than the above stated purpose. It is the user’sresponsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational judgment when using the WAASsignal.Note: This manual uses “WAAS” when referring to any SBAS provider.vii

Press the [MENU] key once or twice toopen the menu.2. Choose GPS SETUP and then press the[ENT] key.SMOOTH S/C (Smoothing speed/course)During position fixing, ship’s velocity (speedand course) is directly measured by receivingGPS satellite signals. The raw velocity datamay changes randomly depending onreceiving conditions and other factors. Youcan reduce this random variation byincreasing the smoothing. Like with latitudeand longitude smoothing, the higher thespeed and course smoothing the moresmoothed the raw data. If the setting is toohigh, however, the response to speed andcourse change slows. The setting range isfrom 0 (no smoothing) to 9999 seconds.AVR. SPEED (Speed averaging)GPS SETUP menu3. Choose item and then press the [ENT]key.4. Change setting with the cursor pad andthen press the [ENT] key.5. Press the [MENU] key twice to finish.GPS SETUP menu descriptionSMOOTH POS (Smoothing position)When the DOP (Dilution of Precision, theindex for position-fixing accuracy) or receivingcondition is unfavorable, the GPS fix maychange greatly, even if the vessel is dead inwater. This change can be reduced bysmoothing the raw GPS fixes. The settingrange is from 0 (no smoothing) to 999seconds. The higher the setting the moresmoothed the raw data, however too high asetting slows response time to change inlatitude and longitude. This is especiallynoticeable at high ship’s speeds. “0” is thenormal setting; increase the setting if theGPS fix changes greatly.Calculation of ETA and TTG, etc. is based onaverage ship's speed over a given period. Ifthe period is too long or too short, calculationerror will result. Change this setting ifcalculation error occurs. The default setting is60 seconds. The setting range is from 0 (noaveraging) to 9999 seconds.LAT/LON OFFSET (L/L position offset)You may apply an offset to latitude andlongitude position generated by the GPSreceiver, to increase position accuracy.DISABLE SVEvery GPS satellite is broadcasting abnormalsatellite number(s) in its Almanac, whichcontains general orbital data about all GPSsatellites.

Set the display unit to the mountinglocation and fix it with wing bolts and wingnuts from the rear side.• Choose a location out of the radar beam.The radar beam will obstruct or preventreception of the GPS signal.• The location should be well away from aVHF/UHF antenna. A GPS receiver isinterfered by a harmonic wave of aVHF/UHF antenna.• There should be no interfering object withinthe line-of-sight to the satellites. Objectswithin line-of-sight to a satellite, forexample, a mast, may block reception orprolong acquisition time.• Mount the antenna unit as high as possibleto keep it free of interfering objects andwater spray, which can interrupt receptionof GPS satellite signal if the water freezes.• See the outline drawing for the antennaunit at the back of this manual for minimumseparation distances from other antennas.• If the antenna cable is to be passedthrough a hole which is not large enough topass the connector, you may unfasten theconnector with a needle nose pliers and3/8-inch open-end wrench. Refasten it asshown below, after running the cablethrough the hole.9.2 Installation of AntennaUnitMounting considerationsInstall the antenna unit referring to theantenna installation diagram at the end of thismanual. When choosing a mounting locationfor the antenna unit, keep in mind thefollowing points:How to assemble the connector• Do not shorten the antenna cable.• The antenna unit can be installed threeways: screwed into a pipe (local supply),fixed to a post with the optional mastmounting kit, or screwed into an optionalmounting base. For fixing by post or pipe, itis recommended to use stays to secure thepost or pipe to prevent damage to the GPSreceiver by vibration.54

9. INSTALLATION9.3 WiringThe illustration below shows where toconnect cables on the rear of the display unit.Please review the INSTALLATIONGUIDELINES at the front of this manualbefore wiring the equipment.GroundingThe display unit contains a CPU. While it isoperating, it radiates noise, which caninterfere with radio equipment. Ground theunit as follows to prevent interference:• The ground wire for the display unit shouldbe 1.25sq or larger and as short aspossible.• The signal ground and frame ground areseparated, however the power line is notisolated. Therefore, do not connect thesignal ground to the frame ground whenconnecting other equipment to a positiveground battery.External equipmentThe power supply port is commonly used forconnection of external equipment such as aradar. Refer to the interconnection diagramon page S-1 or S-2 for connection of externalequipment.WiringNote: The fuse holder contains a spring thatfixes the fuse.
