Installation Overview
The NAV TRACKER has two major components that are to be mounted in
adequate well thought out locations. They are the Antenna and Control Unit. The
antenna is the device that communicates to the satellites above. It needs to be mounted
on the exterior of your vessel with a clear view of the sky. It is also important that the
antenna be mounted in an area where it will not be hit or easily tampered with.
The Control Unit is the device that supplies powers to the antenna. It also utilizes the
key-switch on the front of the unit to arm the 500ft geofence around your vessel as well
as the external sensor input. It should be mounted in an easily accessible, discrete, and
relatively dry location. There are two cables included with the NAV TRACKER System,
they are the antenna cable and power cable. The antenna cable connects between the
antenna and the control box. The power cable supplies power to the control box. The
power required by the control box must be between 9.6 and 14 Volts DC. It is important
to make sure that the Antenna unit receives a constant DC voltage at all times. There is
also an available

cable that can be plugged into the box. This
cable can be configured to monitor such applications as high water and intrusion alarms
(Figure 11, Page 12). A full diagram of the installation is displayed in Figure 1 below.
