4. POSITIONING IN THE MODEL
When installing the GPS III please ensure that it is not too close to other cables
carrying current or data. The GPS satellite signals from space are very weak, so
the GPS III is tted with a highly sensitive RF signal amplier in order to condition
the signals. The amplier also magnies potential interference from the immediate
environment, which could have an adverse effect on reception. If possible, keep the
unit at least 5 cm – better 10 cm – from all other cables in the model.
It is also essential to keep the GPS III well away from materials such as carbon
bre or metal, which would shield the signal.
The patch leads to the GPS III may safely be extended up to a length of 5 m – the
digital bus systems still work without error with extended cables.
5. AFTER SWITCHING ON
Once switched on, the GPS III searches for as many satellites as it can nd; this
process takes about 30 – 60 seconds. Four different operating modes are available
with the GPS III:
a) No x
The LED ashes slowly – The bus system has been detected, satellite search in
progress.
