Introduction
Overview
The HS70 is a complete GPS compass and positioning system in a single enclosure that
requires only one power/data cable connection. With its NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 support
and ease of installation, the HS70 is the perfect solution for marine applications.
The HS70 is an integrated system that houses the following:
• Dual integrated GPS antennas
• Power supply
• Single axis gyro
• Tilt sensor on each axis (X and Y axes)
• Standard NMEA 2000 port (cable to be ordered separately)
• Standard NMEA 0183 port (cable to be ordered separately)
The gyro and tilt sensors are present to improve system performance and to provide backup
heading information in the event that a GPS heading is not available due to signal blockage.
The HS70’s GPS antennas are separated by 27.5 cm between their phase centers, resulting
in better than 0.75° rms heading performance. The HS70 provides heading and positioning
updates of up to 20 Hz and delivers positioning accuracy of better than 1.0 m 95% of the time
when using differential GPS corrections from Space Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS).

Installation
Mounting Location
This section provides information on determining the best location for the HS70.

GPS Reception
When considering where to mount the HS70, consider the following GPS reception
recommendations:
• Consider GPS (and hence SBAS) reception, ensuring there is a clear view of the sky available
to the HS70 so the GPS and SBAS satellites are not masked by obstructions that may reduce
system performance
• Since the HS70 computes a position based on the internal primary GPS antenna element,
mount the HS70 where you desire a position with respect to the primary GPS antenna
(located on the end opposite the recessed arrow on the underside of the enclosure)
• Locate any transmitting antennas away from the HS70 (refer illustration below) to ensure
tracking performance is not compromised, giving you the best performance possible
• Make sure there is enough cable length to route into the vessel to reach a breakout box,
terminal strip or NMEA 2000 T-connector
• Do not locate the antenna where environmental conditions exceed those specified in
“Specifications” on page 12.

VHF Interference
VHF interference from such devices as cellular phones and radio transmitters may interfere
with GPS operation. For example, if installing the HS70 near marine radios consider the
following:
1.5 m (4.9 ft • VHF marine radio working frequencies (Channels 1 to 28 and 84 to 88) range from 156.05 to
radius 157.40 MHz. The L1 GPS working center frequency is 1575.42 MHz. The bandwidth is +/- 2 MHz
at top to +/- 10 MHz, which is dependent on the GPS antenna and receiver design
• VHF marine radios emit strong harmonics. The 10th harmonic of VHF radio, in some channels,
falls into the GPS working frequency band, which may cause the SNR of GPS to degrade
significantly
• The radiated harmonic signal strength of different brands/models varies
• Follow VHF radio manufacturers’ recommendations on how to mount their radios and what
devices to keep a safe distance away
1.0 m (3.3 ft) • Handheld 5 W VHF radios may not provide suitable filtering and may interfere with the HS70’s
radius
operation if too close
at base
Ensure there are no nearby devices that may cause VHF interference. Use minimum distances
from nearby VHF antenna as shown on the illustration.

Mounting Orientation
The HS70 outputs heading, pitch, and roll readings. However, the relation of the antennas
to the boat’s axis determines whether you will need to enter a heading offset. The primary
+P antenna is used for positioning and the primary and secondary antennas, working in
conjunction, output heading, pitch, and roll values.
S Mount the HS70 parallel to, and along the centerline of, the axis of the boat. This provides a
-H true heading. In this orientation:
+H • You can enter a heading offset in a Simrad compatible head unit (AP24, AP28, AP70, AP80, IS20
-P Graphic/Combi, NSE, NSO, NSS) to calibrate the physical heading to the true heading of the
+R vessel
• You will have an offset in the pitch/roll output if the unit is not installed in a horizontal plane
P -R
The figure shows recommended orientation and resulting signs of heading (H), pitch (P) and
roll (R) values.

 HS70 Alignment
The top of the HS70 enclosure incorporates sight design features to help you align the
enclosure with respect to your vessel.
To use the sights, center the small post on the opposite side of the enclosure from you, within
the channel made in the medallion located in the center of the enclosure top as shown in the
figures below.

Alignment accuracy when

looking through the long site is
approximately +/- 1°

Alignment through the short

site is approximately +/- 2.5°

Mounting Options
The HS70 allows for two different mounting options: fixed mount and pole mount. Refer
“HS70 Dimensions” on page 14.
• Flush mount - The bottom of the HS70 contains four M8 holes for flush mounting the unit to
a flat surface
• Pole mount - The bottom of the HS70 contains a mounting hole (1” thread, 0.9” depth) for
easy pole mounting. Hand tighten until snug (do not overtighten). The set screws on the long
sides of the base allow you to secure the HS70 in place (3/16” Allen wrench not included)

¼¼ Note: Mounting accessories not included.

Cable mounting considerations

Before mounting the HS70 consider the following regarding power/data cable routing:
• Cable must reach an appropriate power source
• Cable may connect to a data storage device, computer, or other device that accepts GPS data
• Avoid running the cable in areas of excessive heat
• Keep cable away from corrosive chemicals
• Do not run the cable through door or window jams
• Keep cable away from rotating machinery
• Do not crimp or excessively bend the cable
• Avoid placing tension on the cable
• Remove unwanted slack from the cable at the HS70 end
• Secure along the cable route using plastic wraps

Warning: Improperly installed cable near machinery can be dangerous.

Fixed Mount
The bottom of the HS70 contains four holes for flush mounting the unit to a flat surface. See
figure below. The flat surface may be something you fabricate per your installation, an off-the-
shelf item (such as a radar mounting plate), or an existing surface on your vessel.

¼¼ Note: HS70 does not include the mounting surface hardware. You must supply the appropri-
ate fastening hardware required to complete the installation of the HS70.

Installation | HS70 User Manual |3

Downloaded from [Link] manuals search engine
 ¼¼ Note: You do not necessarily need to orient the antenna precisely as you can enter a software
offset to accommodate for any offset in heading measurement due to installation.

Before fix mounting the HS70

• Choose a location that meets the mounting location requirements
• Use the mounting template, mark and drill the mounting holes as necessary for the mounting
surface
• Attach the cable to the HS70 and secure the cable

Fix mounting the HS70

1. Mark the mounting hole centers on the mounting surface.
2. Place the HS70 over the marks to ensure the planned hole centers align with the true hole centers
(adjusting as necessary).
3. Use a center punch to mark the hole centers.
4. Drill the mounting holes with a 9 mm bit appropriate for the surface.
5. Place the HS70 over the mounting holes and insert the mounting screws through the bottom of the
mounting surface and into the HS70.

Warning: When installing the HS70, hand tighten only. Damage resulting from
overtightening is not covered by the warranty.

Pole Mount
Keep the following in mind when using a pole mount:
• Mounting hole is 1” thread, 0.9” depth
• Hand tighten until snug (do not overtighten) while ensuring correct orientation
• Use the set screws on the long sides of the base to secure the HS70 in place (3/16” Allen
wrench not included)

Warning: Overtightening may damage the system. This is not covered under
warranty.

Before pole mounting the HS70

• Install the HS70 parallel with the vessel’s axis.
• Choose a location that meets the mounting location requirements.
• Attach the cable to the HS70 and secure the cable.

 Connecting the cable
1. Align the cable connector keyway or the NMEA 2000 adapter with the HS70 connector key
2. Rotate the cable ring clockwise until it locks. The locking action is firm, but you will feel a positive “click”
when it has locked
3. Securing the cable

Ports
NMEA 2000 Port
Powering the HS70 when used in a NMEA 2000 installation
To power the unit via NMEA 2000 connection, follow the standard procedure for powering of
a NMEA 2000 network.

Connecting the HS70 to External Devices

For connecting NMEA 2000 devices, plug the serial-to-NMEA 2000 adapter into the HS70 and
then attach a standard NMEA 2000 dropline cable to the adapter.
Insert the 12-pin connector of the adapter into the male end of the 12-pin connector on the
HS70 by aligning the keys. Secure the adapter to the unit using the supplied screws (machine,
8-32, ½”, PPHC, SS) and washer (washer, flat, #8, SS).

Refer “PGNs with the HS70 in NMEA 2000 mode” on page 15.

NMEA 0183
The HS70 offers position, heading, rate of turn, heave, time COG and SOG data, via NMEA
0183 port. In addition to outputting data, these ports are used for firmware upgrades.
Refer “NMEA 0183 messages” on page 18.

Powering the HS70 when used in a NMEA 0183 installation

For best performance use a clean and continuous power supply. The HS70 power supply
features reverse polarity protection but will not operate with reverse polarity.
See “Power specifications” on page 13 for complete power specifications.

Before you power up the HS70 you must terminate the wires of the power cable as required.
There are a variety of power connectors and terminals on the market from which to choose,
depending on your specific requirements.

Warning: Do not apply a voltage higher than 36 VDC. This will damage the receiver
and void the warranty.

To interface the HS70 power cable to the power source:

• Connect the red wire of the cable’s power input to DC positive (+)
• Connect the black wire of the cable’s power input to DC negative (-)
The HS70 will start when an acceptable voltage is applied to the power leads of the extension
cable.
The HS70’s power supply is isolated from the communication lines and the PC-ABS plastic
enclosure isolates the electronics mechanically from the vessel (addressing the issue of vessel
hull electrolysis).

 Power/Data Cable Considerations
The HS70 uses a single 15 m (49 ft) cable for power and data input/output.

The receiver end of the cable is terminated with an environmentally sealed 12-pin connection
while the opposite end is unterminated and requires field stripping and tinning.
Depending on the application and installation needs, you may need to shorten this cable.
However, if you require a longer cable run than 15 m, you can bring the cable into a break-out
box that incorporates terminal strips, within the vessel.
When lengthening the cable keep the following in mind:
• To lengthen the serial lines inside the vessel, use 20-gauge twisted pairs and minimize the
additional wire length.
• When lengthening the power input leads to the HS70, ensure the additional voltage drop
is small enough that your power system can continue to power the system above the
minimum voltage of the system. Wire of 18-gauge or larger should also be used.
• Minimize RS-232 cable length to ensure reliable communication

Operation
GPS Overview
For your convenience, both the GPS and SBAS operation of the HS70 features automatic
operational algorithms. When powered for the first time, the HS70 performs a “cold start,”
which involves acquiring the available GPS satellites in view and the SBAS differential service.

GPS Operation
The GPS receiver is always operating, regardless of the DGPS mode of operation. The following
sections describe the general operation of the HS70’s internal GPS receiver.

¼¼ Note: Differential source and status have no impact on heading, pitch, or roll. They only have
an impact on positioning and heave.

Automatic Tracking
The HS70’s internal GPS receiver automatically searches for GPS satellites, acquires the signals,
and manages the navigation information required for positioning and tracking.

Receiver Performance
The HS70 works by finding four or more GPS satellites in the visible sky. It uses information
from the satellites to compute a position within 4.0 m. Since there is some error in the
GPS data calculations, the HS70 also tracks a differential correction. The HS70 uses these
corrections to improve its position accuracy to better than 1.0 m.
There are two main aspects of GPS receiver performance:
• Satellite acquisition
• Positioning and heading calculation
When the HS70 is properly positioned, the satellites transmit coded information to the
antennas on a specific frequency. This allows the receiver to calculate a range to each
satellite from both antennas. GPS is essentially a timing system. The ranges are calculated
by timing how long it takes for the signal to reach the GPS antenna. The GPS receiver uses a
complex algorithm incorporating satellite locations and ranges to each satellite to calculate
the geographic location and heading. Reception of any four or more GPS signals allows the
receiver to compute three-dimensional coordinates and a valid heading.

Differential Operation
The purpose of differential GPS (DGPS) is to remove the effects of atmospheric errors, timing
errors, and satellite orbit errors, while enhancing system integrity. Autonomous positioning
capabilities of the HS70 will result in positioning accuracies of 4.0 m 95% of the time. In order
to improve positioning quality to better than 1.0 m 95%, the HS70 is able to use differential
corrections received through the internal SBAS demodulator.

Automatic SBAS Tracking

The HS70 automatically scans and tracks SBAS signals without the need to tune the receiver.
The HS70 features two-channel tracking that provides an enhanced ability to maintain a lock
on an SBAS satellite when more than one satellite is in view. This redundant tracking approach
results in more consistent tracking of an SBAS signal in areas where signal blockage of a
satellite is possible.

HS70 Overview
The HS70 provides accurate and reliable heading and position information at high update
rates. To accomplish this task, the HS70 uses a high performance GPS receiver and two
antennas for GPS signal processing. One antenna is designated as the primary GPS antenna
and the other is the secondary GPS antenna. Positions computed by the HS70 are referenced
to the phase center of the primary GPS antenna. Heading data references the vector formed
from the primary GPS antenna phase center to the secondary GPS antenna phase center.

8| Operation | HS70 User Manual

 The heading arrow located on the bottom of the HS70 enclosure defines system orientation.
The arrow points in the direction the heading measurement is computed (when the antenna
is installed parallel to the fore-aft line of the vessel). The secondary antenna is directly above
the arrow.

¼¼ Note: The HS70 moving base station algorithm only uses GPS to calculate heading. Differen-
tial corrections are not used in this calculation and will not affect heading accuracy.

Supplemental Sensors
The HS70 has an integrated gyro and two tilt sensors. The gyro and tilt sensors are enabled
by default. Each supplemental sensor may be individually enabled or disabled. Both
supplemental sensors are mounted on the printed circuit board inside the HS70.
The sensors act to reduce the startup and reacquisition times. This improves the reliability and
accuracy of selecting the correct heading solution by eliminating other possible, erroneous
solutions. The table below provides a sensor operation summary.

No GPS lock • Verify the HS70 has a clear view of the sky
• Verify the lock status of GPS satellites in the Simrad compatible
head unit (refer separate documentation)
No SBAS lock • Verify the HS70 has a clear view of the sky

Note: SBAS lock is only possible if you are in an appropriate SBAS

region; currently, there is limited SBAS availability in the southern
hemisphere.
No heading or • Heading is from primary GPS antenna to secondary GPS
incorrect heading antenna, so the arrow on the underside of the HS70 should be

the motion of a vessel.
129025 Position, Rapid Update B 100 10
Provides latitude and longitude referenced
to WGS84. Being defined as single frame
message, as opposed to other PGNs that
include latitude and longitude and are
defined as fast or multi-packet, this PGN
lends itself to being transmitted more
frequently without using up excessive
bandwidth on the bus for the benefit of
receiving equipment that may require rapid
position updates.
129026 COG & SOG, Rapid Update B 250 4
Single frame PGN that provides Course Over
Ground (COG) and Speed Over Ground
(SOG).
