Wiring Interface
The following table provides Information for the 15 m
cable and 30 m cable.
Serial Port Connection
Connect the wires to a DB9 female socket using either
the port A or port B configuration.
DB9 Female Socket Numbering
Configuration
Use a terminal program, or PocketMAX, to connect to a
serial port for additional configuration requirements. Use
default baud rate of 19200 bps and 8-N-1 protocol.
• Change baud rate of either port to match that of
the external equipment to which the V101/111 is
connected. After changing the baud rate, you
must close the terminal program and reconnect
at the speed selected.
• Configure NMEA messages to be output on the
appropriate port.
• Select differential source (BEACON is the default
on the V111).
• Input heading bias (-180° to +180°) to
compensate for any offset from the centerline.
• Input bias for tilt (-15° to +15°) to compensate for
any offset from horizontal.
• Enable/disable supplementary sensors (default
is GYROID and TILTAID on).
• Use the $JSAVE command to save the
configuration changes when finished.
Supplemental Sensors
A tilt sensor and gyro are integrated in the V101/111. The
user can turn either on or off. However, the system’s
performance is optimized with both on.

Sensor Purpose Calibration Procedure
Gyro
aid
Smooth rate of turn:
• Provides alternate
source of heading
for up to three
minutes when GPS
lock is lost
• Shortens heading
reacquisition time
Will self-calibrate after several
minutes
To manually calibrate:
• After heading is computed
• $JATT,GYROAID,YES
• Spin Vector for one minute
at less than 15º per second
• Leave unit stationary for
four minutes
Note: It is not necessary to
recalibrate with standard use
because the gyro selects the
calibration.
Tilt aid • Smooths rate of
heading
• Reduces startup
and reacquisition
times for obtaining
heading
Precalibrated during
manufacture
To recalibrate:
• Ensure Vector is level
• $JATT,TILTCAL
