STANDARD HORIZON CP1000 C (01) PDF Document

Cleaning the plotter screen is a very important operation and must be done carefully. Since the surface is covered by an antireflective coating, the procedure for cleaning all the surfaces can be performed using the following procedure. You need a tissue or lens tissue and a cleaning spray containing Isopropanol (a normal spray cleaner sold for PC screens). Fold the tissue or lens tissue into a triangular shape, moisten the tip and use the index finger behind a corner to move the tissue across the surface, in overlapping side-to-side strokes. If the tissue is too wet, a noticeable wet film will be left in its path and you will need to repeat the process. If too dry, the tissue won’t glide easily, and may damage the surface.

The STANDARD HORIZON CP1000 C is designed for surface, overhead, or flush mounting. Before final installation, it is recommended to temporarily connect the unit to power in the desired location to ensure it does not cause interference with other electronics or the compass.

For Surface or Overhead Mounting:

1. Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the locations for the bracket screw holes.

2. Drill a pilot hole at each marked location.

3. Use the supplied hardware to attach the bracket to the dash.

4. Attach the CP1000C to the bracket.

For Flush Mounting:

1. Use the supplied template to identify the areas that need to be drilled and cut out. Ensure there is enough area behind the panel for cables.

2. Cut and drill the areas as indicated on the template.

3. Insert the four supplied brass studs into the rear panel of the CP1000C.

4. Insert the unit with the studs into the previously drilled holes in the panel.

5. Attach the mounting washers and nuts to each stud from behind the panel to secure the unit.

Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky for direct “line of sight” satellite reception. It is advisable to temporarily mount the antenna to verify correct operation before final installation.

Flush Mounting the Antenna:

1. Apply the adhesive mounting template sheet in the area that was verified to receive a good satellite signal.

2. Following the template instructions, drill a 0.63 inch (16 mm) center hole and three 0.155 inch (4 mm) screw holes.

3. Remove the template and pass the cable through the central hole.

4. Apply a small coat of RTV to the underside of the antenna.

5. Place the antenna over the holes and secure it with the three M3 screws.

Note: The antenna cable may be cut and spliced to ease installation. Care must be taken when reconnecting the antenna cable to protect it from water and corrosion.

The following table describes the function of each wire in the GPS antenna cable:

Before making connections, check for the correct voltage (10-35V dc) and polarity. Ensure the 2A fuse is wired in series on the Black wire (Battery Ground). This protects the NMEA data output wires from damage if they are accidentally touched to the red wire (+battery connection).

Power Connection:

– PWR + : RED wire

– PWR – : BLACK wire

Rear Panel Connections:

The rear panel has dedicated ports for the GPS antenna, Power/IO, and two Video Inputs.
