1.Remove the threaded base from the antenna dome.

2.To ease installation a flush mounting template for the antenna has been included.

3.Apply the mounting template sticker to the area that was verified for GPS reception.

4.Then, drill out the 0.63” (16mm) and 0.16” (4mm) holes, and remove the template.

5.Insert the cable into the 0.63” (16mm) hole and route to the GPS chart plotter.

6.Apply a small amount or RTV to the under side of the antenna.

7.Place the antenna and then screw it into place using the screws. In some cases the screw may not be long enough, if this happens simply apply more RTV to the underside of the antenna to glue it into place.

2.4CONNECTIONS

The CP180 or CP180i has connectors that are used to connect to the power supply, GPS antenna (CP180 only) optional FF520 Fish Finder and to NMEA devices such as Marine VHF radio, digital instruments, autopilots and AIS receivers.

NOTE

The GPS chart plotter can send many sentences to external NMEA devices. The NMEA output wires are Yellow, Brown and White. If you have connected devices as shown in the below table and need to feed NMEA to other devices (Autopilot, RADAR…) you can parallel wires from the Yellow, Brown or White wires.
