NMEA Wiring
To exchange NMEA data, the GlobalMap 5150c has one NMEA 0183
version 2.0 communication port. Com port one (Com-1) can be used to
receive NMEA format GPS data. The com port can also transmit
NMEA format GPS data to another device.
The data cable contains three wires. Com-1 uses the yellow wire to
transmit, the orange wire to receive and the shield wire for signal
ground.
Com-1 wiring to receive NMEA position information
from some other GPS receiver.
Com-1 wiring to transmit NMEA position information
to another NMEA-compatible device.
Mounting the Unit: Bracket, In-Dash or Portable
You can install the GlobalMap 5150c on the top of a dash with the sup-
plied gimbal bracket. It can also be installed in the dash or mounted on
a portable power supply.
If you use the supplied bracket, you may be interested in an optional
R-A-M
®
bracket mounting system. This converts the unit's gimbal bracket
to a swivel mount, which can be used on the dash or overhead mounting
positions. R-A-M offers permanent mounts and temporary mounts suit-
able for many vehicle types. See your Lowrance dealer or visit the LEI
web site (www.lei-extras.com) for the latest options; accessory ordering
information is on the inside back cover of this manual. For a complete look
