1.2 Board Compatibility

Many surface mount chips are used on the MAIN and ANLG Boards. Thus, the board cannot be modified
to the other board having a different suffix.

Ñ1Ò MAIN Board

The 02P6235C can be used for all models. Any board is used for GP-1610C English version.

2.1 Function of Each Board
Board/Unit Functions
Antenna Unit Includes a preamplifier, +5V is applied through the cable.
The unit cannot be disassembled.

MAIN Board GPS signal, plotter signal and panel signal are processed by the CPU and the
(02P6235) gate array.
The board includes a memory card I/F, LCD I/F and an inverter for LCD
backlighting.

ANLG Board Consists of a power circuit, a fish finder circuit and an interface circuit.
(02P6236)

PNL Board Consists of keys, LEDs for panel illumination and a buzzer.
(02P6237)

GPS Core Processes the GPS signal to calculate ship’s position, etc.
(GN-74)

Color Display Consists of an LCD, a LCD control board and a cold cathode tube for LCD
(LQ6BW12K) backlighting.

2.2 Inverter Circuit for LCD backlighting

High voltage for LCD backlighting is generated on the MAIN board and output from J5-#1 and #2 to the
LCD unit. The output of T1 is about 3kV AC without the load.

Keyboard Test : [MENU] [0] [1] [3]
Test Pattern : [MENU] [0] [1] [4]

To terminate the test, press [MENU]. Keyboard test is terminated by pressing [MENU] three times.
Note that pressing [PWR] during the keyboard test shuts the power down.

Items to be checked by Memory, I/O Port Test

ROM : Program check sum (U10/U11)
RAM : RD/WR check (U16/U17)
VRAM : RD/WR check (U7/U8)
Battery : Voltage of BT 1
SIO(GPS) : Communication between CPU and GPS Core (GN-74)
SIO(NMEA) : Communication between CPU and NMEA (J3).
A short connector must be connected to J3. If not, result is blank.

SIO(DGPS) : Communication between CPU and DGPS(J4).

A short connector must be connected to J4. If not, result is blank.

6.2 Receiving Condition of GPS Signal

Press [MENU] [0] [1] [1] in this order to get the GPS monitor display. To close the menu, press [MENU]
twice.

£SNR is about 50 in most cases. If SNR is more than
