1 About SD-GPS (RS120 only) Chapter 1: About SD-GPS (RS120 only) 1 Chapter 1: About SD-GPS (RS120 only) 1.1 Satellite Differential GPS on the Raystar 120 The Raystar 120 Satellite Differential GPS (SD-GPS) Receiver uses the new satellite differential system to improve the accuracy, integrity and availability of the basic GPS signals. This provides greater positional accuracy compared with standard GPS receivers (e.g. Raystar 112LP). Three separate and compatible SD-GPS systems currently exi

This results in improved accuracy (typically less than 3 metres) compared with standard GPS (typically 15 m) or land-based DGPS (typically 10 m). Availability of WAAS in North America The area coverage of WAAS includes the entire United States of America (see Figure

2 Installation Chapter 2: Installation 7 More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V, and starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may change the operating mode. Raymarine s

It should be mounted: On a horizontal surface. In a location that is open and clear of any obstructions (such as masts, search lights, or other structures) that could block line-of-sight reception of signals. As low as possible: the height of the receiver is not as im
