1. INSTALLATION

NOTICE
Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or contact
spray to coating or plastic parts of the equipment.
Those items contain organic solvents that can damage
coating and plastic parts, especially plastic connectors.

You can install the antenna unit as follows. See the outline drawings at the back of this
manual.

• Platform mount, fixed from bottom (section 1.2)

• Pole mount (section 1.3)
• Antenna Base mount (section 1.4, option)
Use the NMEA 0183 antenna cable (FRU-CF-F15/30M) for installation.

1.1 Installation Considerations

1.1.1 General considerations

• Keep the length of the antenna cable in mind when selecting a mounting location.
• Make sure the mounting location is strong enough to support the weight of the unit.
See the outline drawings at the back of the manual.
• Leave enough space around the unit for service and maintenance. See the outline
drawings at the back of this manual for minimum service clearance.
• The sensor should be separated more than three meters from Inmarsat F/FB anten-
nas. Select a location outside this transmission area.
• Do not bundle the antenna cable with radio equipment cables. When these noise
reductions are insufficient, adjust the squelch on the radio equipment.
• Select a location with no obstructions to the radio waves.
• Select a location with no local vibration or impact (including vibrations generated by
an engine or the mounting mast for this equipment) for the GPS sensor in the an-
tenna unit.
• Observe the compass safe distances (see page iii) to prevent interference to a mag-
netic compass.

2-10
3. INITIAL SETTINGS
When the unit is powered for the first time, it is in a “cold start” state, meaning there is
no satellite data (almanac data) stored. In this state, the unit searches for, and stores,
satellites to find its heading. This process takes approximately 60 seconds.

If the heading is not found within 30 minutes, the antenna installation location may not
be suitable. A lack of visible satellites (less than five) can also prevent the unit from
finding a heading. Resolve the problem, then re-check the tracking status.

If the installed heading error is found to be 5° or higher, physically turn the antenna
while monitoring the heading indication to reduce the error as much as possible. Er-
rors less than 5° can be adjusted in software.

Once a heading is found, check the following items and set or adjust them as required.

• Vessel dimensions and antenna location. See section 3.1.

• Satellite settings (SBAS, elevation mask, smoothing, etc). See section 3.2.
• Offset for heading, roll, pitch, heave, etc. See section 3.3.
• I/O menu settings as appropriate. See section 3.4.
Initial settings can be done with one of the following methods:
• From a dedicated GP-39
This method is covered within this manual.
• Connect a PC and setup the SCX-21 using the SC setting tool
You can download the SC setting tool from the quick response
code to the right. For how to use the SC setting tool, see the
operator's manual of the SC setting tool (OME-72851).

Note: This manual covers only SCX-21-specific menus and settings. Detailed settings
and procedures for the GP-39 are covered in the GP-39 operator’s manual.

APPENDIX 3 WHAT IS SBAS?
A satellite-based augmentation system, or SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System), is an
augmentation system that uses additional messages from satellite broadcasts to support regional
and wide area augmentation. SBAS provides GPS signal corrections to SBAS users, for even bet-
ter position accuracy, through the GPS error corrections that are widely broadcasted from the geo-
stationary satellite.

SBAS is used in America, Europe, Japan and India. These four systems; WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS
and GAGAN, have interoperability. The illustration below shows the coverage area for each pro-
vider. This manual uses "SBAS" for these four providers generically.
