NS 10 Operations Manual HOW THE NS 10 WORKS There are two main components of the NS 10 navigational system: the receiver which mounts outside the cabin at a high, unobstructed point on your boat, and the NS 10 control head, which mounts on the cons ole or at some other point convenient for use. The receiver and the NS 10 communicate by means of a c[...]

WHAT C OMES IN THE BOX Before installing your new NS 10, please ensure that the following parts are included in the box: NS 10 Navigational System………………………………………….NS 10 USCHO GR - 1 receiver………………………………………………………..GR - 1 4” stainless steel stem mount……………………?[...]

A variety of standard marine antenna hardware is available at marine dealers, which fit the 1” - 14 female mounting threads on the receiver. Fiberglass shaft extensions are helpful accessories for attaining maximum performance from the NS 10 receiver, however, before purchasing an extension make certain that the inside diameter is at least ½” [...]

- Any accessories such as the NMEA output cable should be routed befo re installing the NS 10. MOUNTING THE RECEIVER Deck Mount Follow the instructions below if you are deck mounting the receiver: (Figure 3) 1. Once you have located a mounting position that affords maximum satellite visibility to the receiver, make sure you can gain sufficient acce[...]

6. Place the stem mount with either the spacer or the rubber gasket over the mounting holes and fasten using the mounting screws provided. If the spacer is used, the receiver must be held in close proximity to the stem mount so that the cable may be routed through the gap in the side of the spacer prior to installing the screws. 7. Install the lock[...]

INSTALLING THE CONTROL HEAD Gimbal Bracket Mount Follow instructions below for mounting the NS 10 with the gimbal bracket. (Ref er to Figure 6) 1. Set the gimbal bracket on the mounting surface. 2. Mark the position of the 4 mounting holes for mounting screws. 3. At least 3" behind the bracket, mark and drill a hole 5/8" to 3/4" in d[...]

IMPORTANT: Do not shorten the 40' receiver cable or connect the receiver directly to the control head without the 40' receiver cable. This will cause damage to the NS 10 electronics and void your warranty. Do not cut and splice the cable s from the receiver to the control head. This will also void your warranty. If your boat does not have[...]

NS 10 SCREEN DISPLAY Cursor: The cursor key is used to move the cursor which is the cross - hair line visible in the graphics area. Light: Multiple pushes of this key will adjust the level of light. Map Datum: The map datum in use is displayed in this area. Mode Indicator: This area displays the modes which you have entered to perform a certain tas[...]

Discrete Keys and Num eric Keypad CLEAR: Clear is used to turn off alarms, and to negate modes such as PICK, CURSOR, ROUTE, and DIST (distance). It can also be used to turn off a route being traveled and to delete all temporary waypoints and routes. DIST: Distance calcula tes the distance between two points, other than your present location. GO TO:[...]

2. DIFFERENTIAL BEACON RECEIVER INPUT: The connector provides an input port for a differential GPS signal. When using DGPS there will be an indicator on your display. If the indicator is a hollow box the NS 10 is receiving information from the receiver. If the box is filled in then good information is being received. When DGPS is displayed the NS 1[...]

Gimbal Mounting Bracket: Allows the NS 10 to be adjusted to the optimum viewing angle. To adjust, loosen the knobs on the gimbal mounting bracket and adjust the unit for best visibility. After adjusting, tighten the knobs and the unit will stay in position. TURNING THE NS 10 ON AND OFF If you have completely installed your NS 10, and the receiver, [...]

The unit first performs an internal self test (Refer to Trouble - shooting for more information). After about 10 seconds, the display will show which map is installed in your unit and the map datum. Check to see that the installed map is the map you are expecting, US or International. If the installed map is something other than what you need, call[...]

At least three satellites must be located in order for the NS 10 to ascertain its position and you can watch its progress in the on - screen graphic. As the NS 10 searches for satellites, the satellite number will appear in a white icon. When a satellite is being tracked the icon wil l turn dark. During a cold start, it is far easier for the NS 10 [...]

CREATING TEMPORARY ROUTES USING GO TO The NS 10 has the capability to store up to nine temporary routes. A temporary route consists of your present position, and one or more waypoints. These waypoints may be temporary waypoints established with the P STOR key as discussed earlier, or permanent waypoints, defined through the Select System (Refer to [...]

Note: The course history line is not displayed when the PICK mode is on, but it is being recorded and will be displayed when the mode is turned off.
