Z-Max Getting Started

 If you are using an external power source instead of the Power Module, plug the external power cable 
(attached to whatever power source you are using) into the rear panel of the Main receiver Module at the port 
marked 'POWER' as shown in Figure 3.  

3.  Attach the GPS Antenna Module 

Attach the GPS Antenna Module to the GPS Receiver Module as shown in Figure 4. For the Z-Max to track 
satellites, the system should be outside and the GPS antenna should have a relatively open view to the sky.
