Chapter 1 General Information

1.1 About GPS and GLONASS

1.1.1 General
GPS is a navigation system using 24 satellites (21 plus 3 in service) orbiting 20,183 km high from the
earth every 11 hours 58 minutes. And GLONASS is orbiting 19,100 km high from the earth 11 hours 15
minutes.

1.1.2 Positioning by GPS/GLONASS

Your position is determined by calculating the distance from two satellites (in 2-dimensional positioning)
or three satellites (in 3-dimensional positioning) to your position. The distance is determined by the time
taken for a message to be sent from the satellites to the receiver. In 2-dimensional positioning, your
position (latitude and longitude; height is preset) is determined at the intersection point of three spheres
formed by three satellites. In 3-dimensional positioning, your position (latitude, longitude and height) is
determined at the intersection point of four spheres formed by four satellites.

NOTE
The GPS system is based on a geodetic system called WGS-84 and The GLONASS system is
based on a geodetic system called PZ-90. In conventional world map, one coordinate system
differs from others with region, and this causes the position fix made on the map and GPS
measurement to differ to a certain extent.

1.1.3 Time required for position fix

In the following circumstances, your GPS/GLONASS receiver takes more time to fix position:
(1) When you turned the GPS/GLONASS receiver for the first time.
(2) The stored orbital data is not suitable for the available satellite, or purged due to lengthy storage.
(3) When you use it after moving a long distance
The GPS/GLONASS receiver first turned on starts to store the orbital data sent from the satellite. It
takes about 2 or 3 minutes before the first fix is available. After this, the receiver can fix your position
within a minute by using the previously stored data.

(DATA port)
This port is general data output port. Output data is selected by the menu among the output of
IEC 61162-1, NMEA Ver.1.5, CIF, and SHIPMATE. Output signal level is RS-422.
(DATA 2 port)
When CW-376/391 is used.
This port is data input/output port for DGPS beacon receiver. If a DGPS receiver is not connected,
it can be used as a data output port for extension, but unlike the DATA port, output is possible only
for IEC 61162-1. Output signal level is RS-422.

NOTE: ACK/ALARM of menu 9-3 needs to be turned off. See chapter 8.6.5 (page 8-18)

When CW-398 is used.

This port is an only for external alarm system. ACK/ALARM output signal level is RS-422, and EXT
BUZZER out put can drive a relay (24V/10mA). BUZZER STP is an input port for stopping a buzzer,
and impresses 24V.

NOTE: ACK/ALARM of menu 9-3 needs to be turned on. See chapter 8.6.5 (page 8-18)

4.9 Inspection after installation

Before you turn the unit on, check the following points to make sure the system operates properly.
(1) Is the ship’s supply voltage and current within the rated range?
(2) Is the connection between the display and antenna unit correct?
(3) Are the cables routed and connected properly?

The course and bearing to waypoint is shown in true bearing. You can adjust the GPS true bearing to
the magnetic compass bearing.
(Automatic compensation)
In the Auto mode, the magnetic compass is compensated based on the built-in global magnetic
variation maps. However, avoid using this mode if you are higher than 75 degrees North or South
latitude. As the compass may have a small error because the system contains world maps. Manual
correction is recommended. For areas that do not allow exact translation of a true bearing to a
magnetic bearing, despite the map covering the whole world, the resulting value may differ from the
actual deviation. An error (compensation amount)

Chapter 12 Communication with external navigation system

KGP-925 is provided with a mode having capability to communicate with external system such as
ECDIS and can take in route data from the interfaced external system.
Then KGP-925 can work on the same route as the external system does.
If a route is transferred to KGP-925 from the external system before voyage, KGP-925 can play a role
as back up system in case of failed external system by any reason. While the external system is in
working navigation mode, the working route information is automatically transferred to KGP-925 and
KGP-925 navigates on the same route as the external system does.
In order to utilize this function, connection between KGP-925 and an external system should be
established by a connecting cable according to the operation manual (Page 4-6 to 4-7 interconnecting
Diagram).

12.1 Changing to the EXTERNAL mode

Communication with an external system such as ECDIS is established by switching KGP-925 from
NORMAL mode to EXTERNAL mode.
However switching to EXTERNAL mode is not acceptable when KGP-925 is in Route/Waypoint
navigation or Anchor watch operation in NORMAL mode. Reset those functions before switching to
EXTERNAL mode.
Switching steps are as follows.
(1) Press [MENU] key until Menu options 1 to 9 appear.
(2) Press [8] key to select “8: INIT.SET”.
(3) Press [ ] key to move cursor to “8: WPT.ROUTE”.
(4) Press [ENT] key.
(5) Press [ ] key to select “EXT.”.
(6) Press [ENT] key.
Cursor

A small E is displayed at the end of the waypoint identifier to show KGP-925 is in external mode.
Route identifier shows maximum leading 5 characters of the original route name while waypoint
identifier shows maximum leading 6 characters of the original waypoint name.
A small E

Chapter 12 Communication with external navigation system KGP-925

12.2 Route data transfer

Only a single route date can be transferred to KGP-925.
Route data should consist of a combination of $--RTE (Route) and $--WPT (Waypoint) sentences
specified by IEC61162.
Maximum number of characters including checksum in a RTE sentence line is limited to 124 bytes.
Route data can be two kinds of data, a Complete route or a Working route. A Complete route can
contain 100 waypoints (waypoints excess of 100 are ignored) while a Working route can contain 9
waypoints and the last passed over waypoint (waypoints excess of 9 are ignored).
In EXT. mode, working route has priority over other functions including route navigation. When
KGP-925 receives a Working route data, it automatically goes into Working route navigation.
Maximum waypoint storage capacity is for 400 points combined with both NORMAL and EXT. modes.

12.2.1 Complete route transfer

When KGP-925 receives a Complete route data, “OVERWRITING last sent route” is indicated and then
it indicates “LOADED ext. route” to notify the route was successfully transferred.
When consecutive more than single routes are received. It indicates “INVALID ext. route” and voids
received data but the previously loaded route data remains and valid.
KGP-920 judges data transfer is ended when more than 10 second interruption of data transfer occurs.
The Complete route is stored as number 19th route.

12.2.2 Selecting route navigation

Procedure to navigate by the received Complete route by following steps.
(1) Press [MODE] key until A (NAV1), B (NAV2), C (NAV3) or D (PLOT) screen appears.
(2) Press [SEL] key until page 5 screen appears.
(3) Press [ ] or [ ] key to move cursor to “ROUTE” letters.
(4) Press [ENT] key.
(5) Press [ ] or [ ] key to select the required Complete route identifier (name or number).

12.2.3 Working (active) route transfer

When KGP-925 receives Working route data for the first time, it shows “LOADED ext. active route” and
goes into Working route mode regardless of previous navigation mode due to the first priority.
As far as KGP-925 receives Working route data within 10 seconds consecutively, it continues to work
for the received working route.
When waypoint is changed by reaching to the next waypoint or other reasons, “LOADED waypoint
change” is indicated.
If interruption of Working route data transfer exceeds 10 seconds, KGP-925 judges working route
navigation has ended and quits working in route navigation by indicating “DEACTIVATED ext. active
route” and goes back to the previous mode.
When an external route is received during working route navigation, it is rejected by showing
“REJECTED ext. route Route is active”.
The working (active) route is stored as number 20th route.
