1.3 Circuit Description

1.3.1 Antenna Unit
The antenna unit includes a preamplifier. The antenna cable carries +5 V to power the
preamplifier. The GPS signal received by the antenna is delivered to the GPS board,
GN-8096. The GPS board selftest cannot detect the short circuit on the antenna cable.

GPS Board, GN-8096

The board is 12 discrete channel, all - in - view, GPS receiver which processes GPS signal
for position fixing and for calculating speed and course of the ship.

NP Board, 20P8192
The board mainly consists of a CPU, Flash ROM stored system program, SRAM, Display
SDRAM, SRAM Backup battery, and power supply circuit. Major function of the board is;

1) Control of entire system

2) Reading key data
3) Control of input and output data
4) Storage of GPS data, waypoints and mark data
5) Graphic data processing
6) Output of display data to LCD
7) Communication with PC, Data transfer and Program update
8) Producing following voltages
+5 V: for digital circuit and internal beacon receiver
+12 V: for flash memory and analog circuit
+20.5 V: LCD drive voltage
210 VAC: for LCD backlight
9) Output of log pulse (contact closure signal)

PNL Board, 20P8148

The board consists of 18 switches, 10 LEDs used to adjust brilliance, a buzzer, and a
temperature coefficient resistor (R1). The contrast of LCD is kept constant by R1.

LCD, EW50379FDW
The LCD contrast is stabilized by temperature compensation. Decreasing temperature, for
instance, causes an increase in R1’s resistance and a consequent increase in the LCD bias
voltage. The NP board, 20P8192 outputs the bias voltage from pin 2 of J10. The bias is
approximately –17.9 V at 25 °C in automatic bias mode. The bias changes from –20 V to
–16 V at 25 °C in manual bias mode.

replacement, transfer the data to GP-150 again.
3. Write another setting data by hand.
4. Refer to “5. Communication with PC” when transferring the data PC.

The battery is replaced with new one by following of the steps below.
1. Disconnect JP8 on NP Board. See Fig. 3.3.
2. Use a desoldering tool to remove the battery from NP Board.
3. Solder the replacement battery onto the board.
4. Fix the battery onto the board with silicone sealant.
5. Solder JP8.

Caution
(1) Replace the battery only with CR2450-F2 ST2L (000-144-941-10).
(2) Never short + and - sides of the cell.
(3) The lithium cell may explode resulting in a fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not recharge,

NMEA0183 data, waypoint and route data can be transferred from GP-150 to PC.

Note: Mark and track can not be transferred.

(1) From GP-150 to PC: Waypoint data, route data and end code are output from GP-150 to
the PC in this order.
(2) From PC to GP-150: Software of GP-150 is installed to the PC.
(3) From PC to GP-150: Waypoint and route data sawed on the PC can be sent back to
GP-150. Waypoint numbers are assigned to these waypoints. The waypoint identifier in
WPL sentence is stored as a comment.

The data on GP-150 is overwritten the received data from the PC.
