Read your other product’s owner’s manual for more wiring information.
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

at the many mounting options, visit the RAM web site at www.ram-
