Connect multiple receivers

When you configure multiple receivers, only one receiver (the master receiver) is physically connected to the computer and is able to supply input from the GPS. You attach an external GPS system (unless it has internal GPS) to the master receiver only. The other receiver(s) receive their GPS signal from the master receiver. If other receivers contain internal GPS systems, their GPS is ignored.

To connect multiple receivers:

1Attach one end of a short cable to the RX LOOP IN connector on the master receiver. Attach the other end of the short cable to the RX LOOP OUT of the second receiver.

2Continue to attach receivers (up to a total of four receivers) as in step 1.

3When all receivers are connected with short cables, connect one end of a long cable to the RX LOOP OUT connector on the master receiver to the RX LOOP IN on the last receiver in the series.

4Connect the serial port of your laptop to the RS-232 port of the master receiver with an RS-232 cable.

5Connect the RF antenna to the RF input of each of the receivers.

Refer to Figure 16 on page 45.
