2 Product description
The High Performance Position Sensor, DPS 132, is developed by Kongsberg Seatex
AS specifically for the dynamic positioning (DP) market where GPS position sensors
are critical in order to achieve optimum DP capability.
2.1 Purpose and applications

DPS 132 is a combined dual frequency GPS with built-in SBAS, and dual-channel
IALA beacon receiver. The DPS 132 uses the dual frequency GPS to calculate, and
eliminate the effects of ionospheric noise. This feature is crucial in the border areas of
SBAS coverage, where the reliability of the broadcasted ionospheric models degrades.
Independent software modules and sophisticated anti-multipath technology assure
robustness and reliability. It is designed for 24/7 reliable operation year after year.
2.2 System components

A standard system delivery consists of:
• DPS 132 unit
• Cabinet, 6U
• Keyboard with rollerball
• IALA beacon receiver (included in the DPS 132 unit)
• GNSS L1/L2 antenna
• DGPS beacon antenna
• DPS 132 User Manual
• DPS 132 Installation Manual
• DPS 132 Site Manual
• Interconnection cable
• Mains cable
• Antenna mounting rod
14 G210-07/2.0
Product description
The DPS 132 unit includes a combined GPS L1/L2 and SBAS receiver. The receiver
has 14 GPS L1, 14 GPS L2 channels and 2 SBAS channels. The SBAS signals have the
same frequency as the GPS L1 signals, so only the GNSS L1/L2 antenna is needed
Figure 1 Typical DPS 132 configuration
In addition to the above delivered parts, the following is needed:

• Coax cable for GNSS antenna
• Coax cable for IALA beacon antenna
• Coax connectors
• DGNSS corrections on one or more serial lines for improved position accuracy
(recommended)
• Monitor
• Additional cables for input of DGNSS corrections
• Additional cables for output to external DGNSS equipment
General arrangement drawings of the ship should be acquired to simplify GNSS antenna
mounting and to estimate sufficient lengths of cable.
For external interfaces, electrical characteristics and data formats must be provided as
well as necessary cables and connectors.

Figure 3 Rear panel of Processing Unit
16 G210-07/2.0
Product description
2.4 External input and output serial lines

The Processing Unit communicates with external equipment through RS-232 and
RS-422 serial lines. The number of serial lines with input of DGNSS corrections is only
limited by the number of available communication ports. Output data are position, time
and velocity to navigation computers, dynamic positioning systems etc. No hardware
or software handshake is used on the serial lines. Heading from a gyrocompass or
similar device is also necessary. See the Installation Manual in Reference documents on
page 110 for more detailed information.
2.5 Networked architecture

The NAV Engine (core signal processing and position calculation) and the HMI Engine
(Human Machine Interface) are running independently from each other to ensure
continuous and reliable operation. The unique system design separating the HMI Engine
and the NAV Engine in separate processing environments prevents unintended events
in the user environment interrupting core signal processing. The system design with
optional remote operator stations (HMI) connected via a network allows for flexible
installation in DP class 1, 2 and 3 environments
2.6 Position determination

The NAV Engine comprises a signal processing core with advanced algorithms and
true parallel processing of all available GPS and DGPS signals, including SBAS (e.g.
WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS and GAGAN). DGPS corrections from different sources are
combined by the unique MULTIREF capability. DPS 132 is capable of simultaneous
integration of SBAS, IALA/USCG corrections, and subscription based corrections
services including SeaSTAR-HP, SeaSTAR-XP or SeaSTAR-G2. There is no practical
limitation to the number of reference stations handled by the NAV Engine. DPS
132 provides full decimetre accuracy with High Precision Services (SeaSTAR-HP,
SeaSTAR-XP or SeaSTAR-G2).
DPS 132 has a built-in autonomous real-time quality control feature continuously
monitoring the quality of the calculated position. This is in accordance with requirements
in the UKOOA standard for offshore positioning accuracy and reliability. Alarms and
warnings are activated if critical tolerances are exceeded or if position quality degrades.
Heading input from a gyrocompass can be used to display heading and speed information
in the DPS HMI. Heading input is also necessary in order to utilise the built-in lever arm
compensation. The lever arm compensation in the software enables selection of several
monitoring points on the vessel for which position data can be output.

2.7 GNSS systems

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is a generic term for satellite navigation
systems providing autonomous geo-spatial positioning with global coverage. GPS is
the only GNSS with full constellation. However, GLONASS is operable but do not
have full constellation. Galileo is a third GNSS which is in the development phase
and scheduled to be operational in 2013.
2.7.1 GPS - Global Positioning System

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of
a network of satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defence. GPS was
originally intended for military applications but in the 1980es the government made the
system available for civilian use.
GPS provides a highly accurate and continuous navigation service. It provides 24-hour,
all weather and global coverage.
The system is divided into the following three segments:
Space segment This segment consists of at least 24 satellites (21 active plus
3 operating spares) in 12-hour circular orbits. At an altitude
of 20200 km, each satellite is transmitting orbital and clock
parameters.
Control segment This segment comprises Ground Control Stations
geographically spread for monitoring, up-loading and control
of the satellite transmitted characteristics.
User segment This segment comprises GPS receivers installed onboard ships,
aircraft etc. to track satellite signals and transform them into
position, velocity and time.
Each GPS satellite transmits radio signals at two microwave frequencies in the L band,
1575.43 MHz (L1) and 1227.6 MHz (L2).
The L1 signal is modulated by a precise (P) code for Precise Positioning Service (PPS)
and a course/acquisition (C/A) code for Standard Positioning Service (SPS). The P
code is for military and authorised personnel only and is encrypted before broadcast to
GPS users. The C/A code is for civil users. Until 1 May 2000 the accuracy of the C/A
code was degraded to 100 m (2DRMS) horizontal positioning by the use of Selective
Availability (SA). However, SA is now switched off and the position accuracy of the
system is about 16 metres 95% CEP.
The fundamental technique for GPS is one-way ranging from the satellites. Triangulation,
based on ranging from the satellites, is the basis of the system. In order to triangulate,
the GPS measures distance using the travel time of a radio message. To measure travel
time, timing is crucial. GPS therefore needs very accurate clocks. The transmission is
referred to highly accurate atomic frequency standards onboard the satellites, which are
in synchronisation with the GPS system time base.
18 G210-07/2.0
Product description
The time difference from when the signal leaves the satellites until it is received at the
GPS receiver, is measured. The distance is computed by multiplying with the speed of
light. Once the distance to a satellite is known, the satellite's position in space must be
found. The GPS satellites are launched into very precise orbits and their position is
transmitted to the user. Knowing the satellites' position and the distance to the user
receiver, the user position can be computed. Three perfect measurements can solve a
three-dimensional point in space.
However, the crystal clocks in the GPS receivers are drifting, and the position is therefore
inaccurate. To calculate a three dimensional position, four unknowns have to be solved
(latitude, longitude, height and receiver clock offset). To solve this equation with four
unknowns it is necessary with range measurements from four or more satellites.
The geometry, and hence the accuracy of the position calculation, varies with the number
of satellites available and their location.
Using differential corrections from one or more GPS Reference Stations significantly
reduces all major error sources. This principle is called differential GPS (DGPS).
2.7.2 Differential GNSS (DGNSS)

Position accuracy may be enhanced by using the differential technique. This can be
achieved by using either traditional DGNSS or by clock and orbit corrections.
2.7.2.1 Traditional DGNSS (RTCM)

The DGNSS system improves the position accuracy by using the differential technique.
This is accomplished by accurately surveyed GNSS reference stations which calculate
pseudo-range corrections for all the satellites tracked by the reference station's GNSS
receiver.
The DGNSS system also uses a communication link for transmission of correction data
from the Reference Station to the vessel.
Each GNSS reference station compares the measured distance to a satellite with the one
calculated based on the satellites' and the reference station's known co-ordinates. The
resultant range difference is the correction data, which are broadcast from the GNSS
reference stations to the Differential GNSS correction receiver(s) on board the vessel(s).
The correction data can also be broadcast via satellite, e.g. an Inmarsat satellite.
At the vessel, these pseudo-range corrections are applied to correct the pseudo-ranges
received by the vessel's GNSS receiver, prior to using them for the calculation of a
three-dimensional navigation solution. The concept of a differential GNSS (DGNSS)
real-time system is illustrated in the figure.

Kongsberg DPS 132
Figure 4 Differential GNSS (DGNSS) concept
2.7.2.2 Clock and orbit corrections

In contrast to having a unique set of satellite corrections specific to each reference site,
the orbit and clock concept consists of one set of corrections for the satellites, which is
valid globally.
The orbit and clock concept uses reference stations with a worldwide spread to calculate
the orbit and the clock value of each GNSS satellite more accurately than the broadcast
GNSS ephemeris. Orbit and clock corrections to the broadcast GNSS ephemeris are then
transmitted to the user. The correction data can be used at any location, regardless of
distance to any reference station, making the system truly global. Local ionospheric
errors are corrected at the user end by using a dual frequency receiver. Use of orbit and
clock corrections improves the accuracy from metre level to decimetre level.

2.7.3 SBAS system description

SBAS, Satellite Based Augmentation System, is a generic term for GPS augmentation
systems such as WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS and GAGAN, which use geostationary satellites
to broadcast information to users over a large geographical area. SBAS shall provide
additional accuracy and reliability for the GPS system. The systems are independent but
based on the same principles. The systems are fully interoperable and compatible.
2.7.3.1 WAAS
WAAS, Wide Area Augmentation System, is an American GPS based assistance to air
traffic, built and operated by the FAA, Federal Aviation Administration.
WAAS is designed to improve the accuracy and ensure the integrity of information
coming from GPS satellites. The signals from GPS satellites are received at a network of
ground based reference stations. Measurements from the reference stations are routed
to master stations, which generate and send the correction messages to Geostationary
Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites. These GEO satellites broadcast the WAAS message to
the users on the same frequency as GPS.
The FAA commissioned WAAS in July 2003 throughout the continental United States
and most of Alaska. The next segment of WAAS was completed in 2008 and will expand
service coverage to all of the continental United States, most of Alaska and significant
regions of Canada and Mexico.

2.7.3.2 EGNOS
EGNOS, European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service, is the European SBAS
and is being deployed to provide regional satellite based augmentation services to
aviation, maritime and land-based users in Europe. EGNOS is the first step in the
European Satellite Navigation strategy that leads to Galileo, the future European satellite
navigation system which will complement GPS.
The EGNOS architecture is highly redundant, generating wide area differential
corrections and alerting users within six seconds if a malfunction occurs in GPS.
Thirty-four reference stations are deployed to monitor the satellites used for navigation.
Each satellite has to be monitored by multiple stations before correction and integrity
messages are generated. Four Mission Control Centres process data received from these
stations to generate the corrections and the integrity messages for each satellite. Satellite
up-link stations upload the corrections and integrity messages to the EGNOS satellites
for onward broadcasting to the users.
2.7.3.3 MSAS
MSAS, Multifunctional transport Satellite-based Augmentation System, is a Japanese
augmentation system, implemented by the Japanese Civil Aviation Bureau.
MSAS generates GPS augmentation information by analysing signals from GPS
satellites received by monitor stations on the ground. This augmentation information
consists of GPS-like ranging signals and correction information on GPS errors caused by
the satellites themselves or by the ionosphere.
MSAS was commissioned in September 2007.
2.7.3.4 GAGAN
GAGAN is an Indian Space Based Augmentation System. The system is being
developed jointly by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the Indian Space
Research Organization (ISRO).
22 G210-07/2.0
Product description
GAGAN is planned operational in 2013.
2.7.3.5 Signal distribution

SBAS signals are distributed by geostationary satellites. The broadcasting frequency of
the signals is the same as GPS (L1, 1575.42 MHz).
The following PRNs have been allocated to the SBAS satellites:

3.3 Target monitoring view

Figure 10 Target monitoring view
The Target Monitoring View (TMV) may appear both in View 1 (the largest view) and
View 2 (the upper right view) of the windows. The TMV contains the same information
in either view; only scaling is changed. The TMV appearance is controlled mainly from
the Chart menu.
The TMV is layer based. This means that it is
possible to display multiple layers of information
for visual presentation at the same time. The default
setting after installation is that no chart background
is selected (i.e. Blank). Other illustrations in this
manual will indicate the use of e.g. C-Map ECS.
Common to all background selections is that the scale
and view may be changed by zooming and/or panning in the TMV.
The appearance of the Speed and Link status bars is controlled from the Display options
in the Chart menu. The circular buttons in the Link status bar may be clicked to open
the DGNSS Monitor.
The area indicated as Position or DT/BT will change if a target is selected or deselected.
With no target selected, the position of the currently selected monitoring point (indicated
in the upper left corner) is displayed as indicated in the figure Target monitoring view on
page 28.
28 G210-07/2.0
As soon as a target is selected, this line changes to display distance (DT) and bearing
(BT) to target, and the involved monitoring points on own vessel and selected target are
both indicated in the top left corner of the TMV.

3.4 Sky view

The Sky view display shows which satellites the system is tracking and using in the
position computation. The satellites are presented according to satellite geometry. The
grey outer circle represents the elevation mask. Satellites under the set elevation mask
are marked grey. The satellite azimuth angle is according to the north-south axis.
G210-07/2.0 33
Kongsberg DPS 132
Figure 14 Sky view
In the upper left corner, the number of GPS satellites tracked and used in the position
solution is presented.
Figure 15 Satellite colours
Satellites marked grey are disabled as they are not used directly in the position fix,
e.g. satellites under the elevation mask.
The bar at the bottom of each satellite represents the signal-to-noise level (L1) for the
satellite, and the longer the bar, the stronger the signal.
When the mouse cursor hovers over a satellite symbol,
a tooltip will appear with the status of the satellite
including azimuth, elevation, L1 signal-to-noise ratio and
differential correction availability.
If the vessel has a gyro interfaced, the display shows
the vessel's true heading.
34 G210-07/2.0
The shadow sector may be configured from the Operator software configuration dialogue.
It has no effect on calculations but will assist in explaining why some satellites are not
used in the position fix.
The Sky view is configured in the Sky view tab in the Operator software configuration
dialogue. It is possible to enable or disable the correction satellites, the signal bars, the
track plot and the shadow sectors.
Related topics
• Configuration of Sky view on page 83
3.5 Speed view

The main function of the Speed view is to give information about the speed and heading
of the vessel.
Longitudinal and transversal speed (SL and ST) are presented together with arrows
indicating forward/astern and port/starboard movement directions. The vessel outline
indicates the orientation of the movements. It is possible to display SL/ST with two
decimals. It is also possible to display the arrows with red colour if the vessel is moving
astern or towards port. Additionally, the vessel indicator and arrows may be turned 180
degrees in order to display correct directions when the operator station is facing astern.
The vessel heading (HDG) is input from an external gyro sensor. Arrows and COG are
not displayed if SOG is below the limit set in the configuration dialogue.
Note
The displayed speed values apply to the antenna position only even if the position is
displayed for other monitoring points.
G210-07/2.0 35
Kongsberg DPS 132
Figure 16 Speed view
Invalid values are indicated as – – –. If HDG is invalid, the colour will alternate between
black and red.
COG as heading
It is possible to use COG as heading, for example in cases where there is no valid gyro
signal available. If COG is used as heading, invalid COG will be indicated as dashes
with alternating red and black colour, whereas invalid HDG will be displayed as dashes
with steady black colour. If valid gyro signal is received while the Operator SW uses
COG as heading, the HDG value will be presented in yellow colour to clearly indicate
that a gyro heading is available and should be used rather than the COG.
SL and ST will not be presented if COG is used as heading.
The Speed view with the operator station facing astern and using COG as heading,
is illustrated. As vessel speed is zero, COG is invalid and indicated as – – – and in
alternating red and black colour.

3.6 DGNSS views

There are two DGNSS views, DGNSS age view and DGNSS status view. Both views
indicate the status of the available correction links.
All links are indicated using green colour if correction data are received and used in the
position solution, yellow if data are received but not used, red if no data are received
through that link, or light grey if the link has been disabled for some reason.
Status of up to 9 correction links may be displayed. Each link is identified by its name
as defined in the software configuration. The number of reference stations used in the
position calculation and the number of reference stations available are indicated for
each correction link.
G210-07/2.0 37
Kongsberg DPS 132
Figure 19 DGNSS status view
A tooltip is displayed when the mouse cursor hovers over a correction link. The tooltip
displays information on the specific correction link.
The DGNSS age view presents each link as a circular button and presents a bar that
indicates the quality as the age of the corrections received through that link. If a bar
is filled green, the correction signals are newer. The older the signals are, the shorter
the bar is.
If the bar is grey, the age of the corrections has exceeded the maximum age, and the
corrections from the link are not in use. The maximum age for using differential
corrections is set in the NAV Engine →Standard configuration view.

3.7 Integrity view

The Integrity view indicates the integrity of the system position. It is always located in
the lower right view (View 3).
The DQI bar indicates the quality of the position. If the quality of the position is less
than 5, the background colour of the bar changes from grey to yellow. If it is less than 2,
it is red.
The Error ellipse describes the position quality and the geometry of the position solution.
The colour of the ellipse indicates the quality/integrity of the position. The colours used
are the same as in the System status field of the Top bar.
A RAIM exclusion and detection algorithm is implemented to detect satellite failure.
The integrity indication for different position accuracy levels is expressed in three
states that satisfy the requirements. The states are Safe, Unsafe and Caution. These
states are indicated with different colours (green, yellow and red) on the error ellipse
G210-07/2.0 39
Kongsberg DPS 132
in the Integrity view. The position accuracy level is configurable from the NAV Engine
→Advanced configuration (the value is displayed as the outer circle on the axis). Default
value is 10 m.
Figure 21 Integrity view
The system integrity value is often referred to as the horizontal external reliability. It
gives an indication of how large a horizontal position error might be, at the condition of
an arbitrary undetected satellite failure.
Safe (green) indicates that the system accuracy is below the selected accuracy level and
that a single satellite failure cannot make the actual horizontal position error exceed the
selected integrity limit (95 % confidence level).
Caution (yellow) indicates that the system accuracy is below the selected position
accuracy level but a single satellite failure might not be detected. If such a satellite failure
is detected, the actual horizontal position error might exceed the selected integrity limit
(95 % confidence level). With only four satellites (three when height aiding is chosen),
there is no way to detect a satellite failure, and the system will always be in the state
Caution or Unsafe. The expected accuracy and HDOP might still be reasonably low.
Unsafe (red) indicates that the system accuracy is above the selected accuracy level
(95 % confidence level)
40 G210-07/2.0
Configuration
The position accuracy level is configurable (95%) from the software advanced
configuration (the value is displayed as the outer circle on the axis). Default value is
10 m.
The EPE (Estimated Position Error) is a position quality parameter for the DGPS
position. The figures are 95 % CEP. Unit is metres. The time span in the graphical plot
of the EPE is 250 seconds in the horizontal axis.
3.7.1 Quality assessment of position data

Quality assessment of GNSS data is equally important as highly accurate positions. The
methods for quality assessment implemented in this system are in accordance with
Guidelines on the use of DGPS as a position reference in DP control systems.
The parameters used are:

3.7.2 The DQI figure

The quality indicator DQI is a single integer between 0 and 9, which reflects the status
and quality of the position solution.

An important point to note is the prerequisite for the successful pass of a statistical test.
The statistical methods used are in accordance with Guidelines on the use of DGPS as a
position reference in DP control systems in Reference documents on page 110
Bearing in mind the number of parameters present in the $DPGGA sentence, it is
sufficient for the DQI to provide a statement of the status and quality of the positioning.
DQI values 5 to 9 represent a grading system under normal operating conditions.
The DQI is passed along with other quality indicators and each raw unfiltered position
into the DP control system. These indicators are put into free (null) fields in the NMEA
0183 standard format $GGA to produce the new $DPGGA format.
In addition to providing a meaningful and easily assimilated indication of DGNSS
quality, the DQI also gives an indication of improved or degraded positioning. The latter
could give a countdown to system rejection, enabling suitable action to be taken in
advance. This is impossible when using only a DGNSS good/bad indicator.

The system can monitor the current position according to alarm circles and issue alarms
if an alarm circle is crossed. This is typically interesting when using the Current position
as target (temporary target) or when the vessel shall keep a position above a well head.
If the measurement position of the vessel crosses one of the alarm circles when moving
away from the target's position, an alarm is issued, and the crossed alarm circle will
blink. The alarm state is cleared when the vessel moves inside the crossed circle. A
hysteresis is applied to avoid frequent alarms in the circle zone.
The radius of the alarm circles is set in the target editor's Alarm Circle tab. To enable the
alarm circle, make sure the Enable alarm circle checkbox is checked.

An application launches to configure the DGPS 464 radio. The use of this application is
described in detail in the Installation Manual.
3.12.1.1 Satellite prediction

During some periods the satellite coverage over some areas is rather poor and in addition,
operations close to large equipment will often result in shadowed satellites and decrease
the number of satellites available. This is a major risk for safety operations.
62 G210-07/2.0
The Satellite Prediction application is a helpful tool to plan an operation where good
accuracy throughout the operation is necessary and it will help the operator to plan when
a safety operation could take place and to identify periods of poor satellite geometry.
The satellite prediction is based on the satellite's almanac data received from the GNSS
receiver.
Figure 44 Satellite Prediction
When opening the Satellite Prediction application, the current date, time and position is
set as start values. In addition, shadow sectors are drawn as inserted in the Operator
software configuration dialogue, Sky view tab, while the elevation mask is drawn as set in
the NAV Engine configuration. The default duration of the prediction is set to 24 hours
but may be changed to 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours. To change start values, insert new values
and press the Recalculate button to update the graphs and sky view.

3.13.3.5 General
The General page is used to define track plot length, bearing calculations and speed
and course over ground settings.
The Track plot length parameter defines the length of the track plot displayed in the TMV.
The track plot is defined by number of points, e.g. with a data rate of 1 Hz, a 300-point
track plot shows a track of the last 5 minutes.
The EBL and DT/BT calculations can be configured to use true or relative heading.
Using true calculations, the heading is calculated with regards to true north. When Use
true bearing is not selected, relative heading is used. Relative heading is related to the
vessel heading, not to true north.
When selecting the Use COG as heading parameter, the gyro heading input to the vessel is
ignored and COG is used as heading. However, if the speed of the vessel (SOG) is below
the SOG low limit parameter, the COG heading is invalid.
It is possible to configure the colour of the speed arrows in the Speed view. Default the
arrows are green both starboard/port and forward/aft. Select Use red arrows for port/aft if
red arrows to port/aft are preferable.

When selecting False Northing, positions south of the equator will always be presented as
positive in the TMV. A fixed offset of 10 000 000 m is added to the northing value to
avoid negative coordinates in the southern hemisphere. When selecting False Easting, a
fixed offset of 500 000 m is added to the true easting value to avoid negative coordinates.
The UTM standard uses false northing and false easting, i.e. the co-ordinates are never
negative. In case negative northing or easting is wanted, deselect the check box.
Note
It is not possible to deselect False Easting
The UTM zone is automatically calculated by default. The Auto extended zone option is
only applicable between 56 degrees to 64 degrees north and 3 degrees to 6 degrees east.
The 32V zone is extended west to 3 degrees east, so when selecting the Auto extended
zone in this area, zone 32V is used. When outside the current area and Auto extended
zone is selected, the used zone is equal to the zone used when selecting Auto zone.
When selecting Auto zone, the system zone is automatically calculated in accordance
with the inserted co-ordinates.
Selecting Manual zone makes it possible to define which Zone and Zone offset to use.
The Zone offset option allows a fixed offset to be applied to the longitudinal degrees. The
UTM zone can be offset up to ±3 degrees. The zone offset is typically used where the
maps used have an offset. The zone range is from 1 to 60.

signal bar is displayed under the satellites in the
Sky view. The signal bar indicates the signal-to-noise ratio for the satellite, and the longer
the bar, the stronger the signal. It is possible to select signal strength for both L1 and L2.
When selecting for both L1 and L2, two signal bars are displayed.
Note
Signal strength L2 only available on dual frequency systems.
To add a shadow sector, place the mouse over the sky view area, Figure
right-click on the mouse and select Add sector. By dragging the 70 Correction
edges of the sector, the sector becomes larger or smaller. To move satellite tooltip
the sector, select the sector and drag it to the wanted position. To
delete a sector, select a sector, right-click on the mouse and select
Remove sector. The shadow sector refers to the vessel centre and
will follow the vessel heading.
Azimuth start describes the starting angle of the sector in degrees
(0 to 360) related to North. Azimuth sweep describes the size in
degrees. Elevation start describes the starting angle of the sector in degrees (0 to 90)
where 0 degrees is the horizon and 90 degrees is straight above the antenna.
Satellite track plot assists in determining if a satellite is rising or falling in elevation.
The Satellite track plot length defines how long the length of the track plot should be.
When Satellite track plot is enabled, the track plot starts to increase. Maximum length
of the track plot is 720 minutes.

4.4.4 No satellites tracked by receiver

During operation a situation may occur where no GPS/GLONASS satellites are tracked
by the receiver.
Situations when no satellites are tracked by the receiver

1 When operating close to offshore installations, part of the horizon might be
shadowed (by e.g. a platform) resulting in blocking of the GPS/GLONASS signals.
2 Faulty antenna cable or connectors
3 Faulty GNSS antenna
4 Software or GNSS receiver hang-up or defects in the GNSS receiver
5 Faulty communication setup parameters for the GNSS receiver in the Configuration
file, see the Installation Manual in Reference documents on page 110
Recommended action for software or GNSS receiver hang-up

1 Shut down the Processing Unit using the shut down procedure.
2 Turn on the unit again after a couple of minutes and see if the problem is solved. It
will usually take up to five minutes before the position is stable after a reboot. In the
boot up sequence the GNSS receiver is reset and this may solve the problem.
3 If the situation is unchanged, check the GNSS antenna and the coax
cable/connectors. This is described in the Installation Manual.
Figure 93 System when no satellites are tracked
Related topics
G210-07/2.0 101
Kongsberg DPS 132
4.4.5 Few satellites tracked by receiver

A problem with few satellites is very often Figure 94 Error ellipse with few
due to shadowing of the GNSS antenna satellites tracked by receiver
or poor antenna connectors or cable. An
example of the error ellipse and status
is shown the figure to the right. This
situation is often experienced on vessels
working close to offshore platforms or
other shadowing objects. If the problem
is assumed to be due to water penetration
in the antenna cable or connectors, measure
the cable and antenna in accordance with
the Installation Manual see Reference
documents on page 110.
4.4.6 Loss of differential

corrections
Loss of differential corrections may be seen
in the Link bar at the bottom of the TMV.
If there are several differential correction
links interfaced to the processing unit, a problem with one of the links may not degrade
the position solution. If all the links are missing, the position will be severely degraded
due to the non-differential position solution. In this situation, the DQI bar will turn red
and the DQI number will be 1.
102 G210-07/2.0
Maintenance
Figure 95 System with one differential link missing
4.4.7 Satellite differential correction systems

Differential corrections to the system are very often applied by using a Fugro
demodulator which receives data from either a Spot satellite or an Inmarsat satellite. The
3610 DGNSS Receiver User Manual , (see Reference documents on page 110) describes
the operation of the demodulator.
The status of the demodulator and the reception of correction data can be monitored
through the display window. After power ON, the receiver will indicate frequency
searching by displaying Init on the signal status page. When it has locket to the signal,
Lock is displayed together with a graphical bar display.

4.4.8.1 Unstable signal

If the signal is unstable, the indication frequently changes from red to green.
104 G210-07/2.0
Maintenance
What to do if the signal is unstable

1 Check if the vessel is near an IALA station and is supposed to receive IALA signals.
2 Check if the antenna and the antenna cable are connected properly.
3 The IALA antenna should be protected from direct illumination from radar beams
and other transmitting antennas. If the antenna is close to transmitting antennas,
move the IALA antenna.
4 Check if the system is grounded as recommended.
Note
The system cabinet must be connected to a grounded outlet.
5 If the signal is still unstable, contact Kongsberg Seatex.
4.4.8.2 No IALA signal

The status of the IALA differential link changes from green to red if the differential
corrections are lost or missing.
What to do if the IALA signal is missing

1 Check if the vessel is near an IALA station and is supposed to receive IALA signals.
2 Check if the antenna and the antenna cable are connected properly.
3 The IALA antenna should be protected from direct illumination from radar beams
and other transmitting antennas. If the antenna is close to transmitting antennas,
move the IALA antenna.
4 Check if the system is grounded as recommended.
Note
The system cabinet must be connected to a grounded outlet.
What to do if the vessel is close to an IALA station and the signal is still missing
1 Click System →Change system mode →Engineering. When asked for password,
type "stx".
2 Select Tools →Data Viewer. When the Data Viewer has started, choose the IALA
view.
3 Check that there is contact with the IALA beacon receiver by checking the Time
updated field. This field shall be updated with an interval of 10 seconds if contact is
established. If not, contact Kongsberg Seatex.
4 Check if the IALA beacon receiver is locked on a station, i.e. is receiving data,
by checking the Link Status field. This field shall be Ok. If the field is Error, the
signal is not locked or the signal is bad.
5 If the Link Status field is Error, check the Frequency field. If the frequency is
changing every 10 seconds, the receiver is searching for the beacon but is not able
to lock the signal. Consider if you can fix the frequency and MSK bit rate by
G210-07/2.0 105
Kongsberg DPS 132
setting IALA Search mode to Manual in NAV Engine Configuration. See Installation
Manual, Reference documents on page 110 for details.
If the S/N field is less than 10 dB, there is a bad signal to noise ratio. Typical value
is between 15 and 30 dB.
The Signal strength field shows the signal strength in dBµV/m.
If the Word error rate is larger than 0, not all data are decoded.
6 Close the Data Viewer. Check visually that the IALA link receives corrections.
7 If there still is no signal and all the above is checked and tested, contact Kongsberg
Seatex AS.
4.4.9 Loss of gyro signal
