However, a communications cable is not available for the unit at this time. If you need to create a NMEA 0183 connection consult customer service. Service contact information can be found in the back of this manual.

NMEA Wiring

To exchange NMEA data, the IntelliMap 640c has one NMEA 0183 ver- sion 2.0 communication port. Com port one (Com-1) can be used to re- ceive NMEA format GPS data. The com port can also transmit NMEA format GPS data to another device.

A data cable should contain three wires. Com-1 uses the yellow wire to transmit, the orange wire to receive and the shield wire for signal ground.

Mounting the Unit: Bracket, In-Dash or Portable

You can install the IntelliMap 640c on the top of a dash with the sup- plied gimbal bracket. It can also be installed in the dash or mounted on a portable power supply.

If you use the supplied bracket, you may be interested in an optional R-A-Mbracket mounting system. This converts the unit's gimbal bracket to a swivel mount, which can be used on the dash. R-A-M offers permanent mounts and temporary mounts suitable for many vehicle types. See your Eagle dealer or visit the LEI web site (www.lei-extras.com) for the latest options; accessory ordering information is on the inside back cover of this manual.
