SECTION TWO: Installing and

wiring the 6000i

Bench-testing the 6000i

Northstar recommends bench-testing the 6000i with a GPS antenna before installing it onto the

vessel. Bench testing ensures that the equipment is fully operational, and lets the unit collect the

current almanac and ephemeris data and a local position fix, which results in less on-board

installation time.

Mounting the 6000i

Choosing the best mounting location

Choose the mounting location carefully before you drill or cut. The 6000i should be installed in an

accessible, dry location where the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see the display

screen. Be sure to leave a direct path for all of the cables. The display screen is high-contrast and

anti-reflective, and is viewable in direct sunlight, but for best results, install the 6000i out of direct

sunlight. The chosen location should have minimal glare from windows or bright objects. If the

6000i is yoke-mounted low, tilt the unit back for best viewing contrast.

WARNING! Before starting the installation, be sure to turn electrical power

off. If power is left on or turned on during the installation, fire,

electrical shock, or other serious injury may occur.

Be sure that the voltage of the power supply is compatible with

the 6000i’s voltage rating of 10 to 36 volts DC. Connecting to the

wrong power supply can cause fire or damage to the equipment.

Be sure to ground the equipment to prevent electrical shock and

mutual interference.

Be sure to use a 7-amp fast-blow fuse in the supplied power

cable. Using the wrong fuse can cause fire or damage to the

6000i.

CAUTION! Proper installation of the Northstar 6000i is critical to accurately receive

and effectively use GPS/WAAS signals under a wide variety of weather

conditions.

Keep the following safe compass distance from the 6000i: 1.0m

standard, 0.8m steering.
