• 12/24 Screw terminal is commonly used to provide operating voltage to a external GPS,
Dual Antenna Arbitrator or other below decks tone generators or switches. Voltage output
is based on the T.M.S assemblies JP5 jumper settings.
3.6.7.7. TS5 NMEA A/B, GPS output.
• RxA- and RxA+- screw terminals, which are
defined as the NMEA A connection is used to
connect to the ships Gyro Compass (Heading). The
NMEA0183 compliant inputs are then connected
via a 9 pin ribbon cable to the ACU’s J2 NMEA
communications port. A GPS (Latitude and
Longitude) input may also be connected, but is not
required because there is a GPS device already
installed in your antenna.. NOTE: If you connect a
ships GPS to the terminal mounting strip, you
MUST disconnect the GPS antenna on the
antenna pedestal.
• RxB- and RxB+ screw terminals, which are defined
as the NMEA B connection is used to connect to
the ships Gyro Compass (Heading). The
NMEA0183 compliant inputs are then connected
via a 9 pin ribbon cable to the ACU’s J2 NMEA
communications port. A GPS (Latitude and
Longitude) input may also be connected, but is not
required because there is a GPS device already
installed in your antenna.
• TxA- screw terminal is used to provide a Pseudo GPS (GGA and GLL formats) output to
other system components such as a Satellite Modem.

Connect your other Below Decks Equipment (ie, telephone, fax machine and computer equipment) to
complete your configuration.
Other BDE connections
3.7. Final Checks
3.7.1.
Do a visual inspection of your work to assure that everything is connected properly and all cables/wires are
secured.
Visual/Electrical inspection
3.7.2.
Double check all your connections to assure that it is safe to energize the equipment.
Electrical - Double check wiring connections
3.8. Power-Up
Verify that all shipping straps and restrains have been removed prior to energizing the antenna.
When all equipment has been installed, turn ACU Power ON. If the ACU does not provide power to the antenna, turn
antenna power ON. The ACU will initially display “SEA TEL – MASTER and DAC-2202 VER 6.xx”. If the Antenna is
energized, approx. 10 seconds later the display will change to “SEA TEL – REMOTE and INITIALIZING”. After
initialization, the bottom line of the remote display will display the antenna model number and the software version
from the PCU.
Energize and check the other Below Decks Equipment to verify that all the equipment is operating. You will need to
assure that the ACU is setup correctly and that the antenna acquires the correct satellite before you will be able to
completely check all the below decks equipment for proper operation.
3.8.1.
The antenna and equipment frame are balanced at the factory however, after disassembly for shipping or
maintenance, balance adjustment may be necessary. The elevation and cross-level motors have a brake
mechanism built into them, therefore, power must be ON to release the brakes and DishScan and antenna
