2.5BATTERY CONNECTIONS

1.The CP180 and CP180i are supplied with a fuse and holder. This fuse should be installed into the Black wire to protect the NMEA Output/Input circuits from becoming damaged.

2.Connect the Red and Black wires from the CP180 or CP180i to a 12VDC source directly as possible.

2.6NMEA CONNECTIONS

The GPS chart plotter can be connected to external devices with NMEA and display information, examples:

-DSC VHF Radio

-Optional FF520 50/200kHz BLACK BOX FISH FINDER

-Depth Sounder, Speed Log, Wind Instrument, Autopilot etc.

-Personal Computer

-AIS receiver

2.7GPS POSITION ON A VHF RADIO

STANDARD HORIZON has pioneered Digital Selective Calling (DSC) on VHF radios. Advancements in DSC have made it possible to show the coordinates of a vessel that has transmitted a DSC Distress Call or even Poll the location of another vessel and show the position of that vessel on the display of STANDARD HORIZON VHFs.

STANDARD HORIZON has taken this feature one step further, if the CP180 or CP180i chart plotters are connected to a STANDARD HORIZON DSC capable VHF, the vessel in Distress or the polled position of the vessel is shown on the display of the GPS chart plotter, making it easy to navigate to the location of the vessel. This is a great feature that could save someone’s life or for anyone wanting to know the position of another vessel.
