Care & Feeding of an GPS Receiver

(Sd-50/GPS8 or Sd-50/GPS40)

The GPS option adds a commercially made GPS receiver to the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40. The GPS option

will work anywhere on the planet.

The receiver is mounted anywhere where it has a view of the sky. The GPS receivers are IPx7 rated

for outdoor use, and are ‘bulkhead’ mounted using a single 5/8” diameter hole.

The fifteen foot long cable from the GPS receiver plugs into a small GPS power module via a six pin

mini-DIN connector. A three conductor cable with 2.5 mm stereo plugs at both ends is then connected be-
tween the power module and the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40.

The input to the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40 is optically isolated. You can stretch these wires for hundreds of

feet, if needed.
