Lowrance 5200C - Manual

2 After you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS ex- perience), you may want to try out some of the GlobalMap's many ad-vanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Advanced GPS Operations . This section contains the rest of the unit's GPS command functions. When you co...

6 These Custom Map Files (file format *.lcm) can also be shared be- tween Lowrance GPS or sonar/GPS units and personal computers. This unit automatically reads Custom Map Files directly from the MMC or SDC. To use a custom map, all you need to do is slide an MMC contain- ing a map into the GlobalMap...

7 A minimum of three satellites are required to determine a 2D fix. The system requires signal reception from three satellites in order to determine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes four satellites to determine both position and elevation (your height above sea level — also called altit...

8 Non aviators can use WAAS signals to make their GPS navigation even more accurate. Your unit receives both GPS and WAAS signals. How- ever, WAAS has some limits you should know about. First, the U.S. government has not completed construction of the WAAS system, so it is not yet fully operational. ...

9 Menu Commands A menu command or a menu option will appear in small capital letters, in a bold sans serif type like this: R OUTE P LANNING . These indicate that you are to select this command or option from a menu or take an action of some kind with the menu item. Text that you may need to enter or...

11 Section 2: Installation & Accessories Preparations You can install the GPS system in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend this installation sequence: Caution: You should read over this entire installation section before drill-ing any holes in your vehicle or vessel! 1. Determine t...

12 You need to select an antenna installation location that has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. After the module is installed, connect it to the end of the extension cable. To connect it to the unit, insert the cable's plug into the Network socket on the back of the unit or a double T connect...

13 Caution: All of the wires in the power/data cable have bare ends for eas-ier installation. The bare ends on any unused wires could cause an electrical short if left exposed. To prevent this, you should cover the individual wire ends – either by capping them with wire nuts, wrapping them with elec...

14 If possible, keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, espe- cially the engine's wires. This will provide the best isolation from elec- trical noise. If the cable is not long enough, splice #18 gauge wire onto it. The display power cable has three wires, white, red and black. Red is the p...

15 (However, never connect multiple power sources to a NMEA 2000 network. If you have a network that is already powered, see diagram B.) Power Diagram B Use this method if you are only powering your display unit and are not powering a NMEA 2000 network or any NMEA 2000 accessory device, including a ...

16 The NMEA 2000 Power cable's red wire should be attached (with pro- vided 3-amp fuse) to the positive (+) terminal. The NMEA 2000 Power cable's black and shield wires should both be attached to the negative (–) terminal. WARNING: The NMEA 2000 network bus is always on and constantly drawing power....

17 The diagram above has a double T connector with two 120-ohm (one male and one female) terminators — one at each end of the connector. It is easy to expand this network by removing a terminator from one end of the double T connector, then inserting a new T connector or ex- tension cable between th...

19 Mounting the Unit: Bracket, In-Dash or Portable You can install the GlobalMap on the top of a dash with the supplied 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 in-terested in the optional R-A-M ® bracket ...

20 Install the gimbal bracket. Orient the bracket so the arms slope to- ward the front of your unit. Drill a 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power and antenna cables. The best location for this hole is immediately under the gimbal bracket location. This way, the bracket can be installed so...

21 though the hole from the top. If you wish, you can fill in the hole around the cables with a good marine caulking compound. Some marine dealers stock cable hole covers to conceal the opening. No matter what type of installation you prefer, be sure to leave enough slack in the cables to allow tilt...

22 Portable Installation Like many Lowrance products, the GlobalMap is capable of portable operation by using an optional portable power pack. The power pack and the magnet-equipped antenna module expand the uses for your GPS unit. The portable power pack makes it easy to transfer your unit from a b...
