Installation manual
1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The High Performance Position Sensor, DPS 132, is developed by Kongsberg Seatex
specifically for the dynamic positioning (DP) market where GPS position sensors are
critical in order to achieve optimum DP capability.
1.1 Purpose and applications

DPS 132 is a combined dual frequency GPS with built-in SBAS, and dual-channel
IALA beacon receiver. The DPS 132 uses the dual frequency GPS to calculate, and
eliminate the effects of ionospheric noise. This feature is crucial in the border areas of
SBAS coverage, where the reliability of the broadcasted ionospheric models degrades.
Independent software modules and sophisticated anti-multipath technology assure
robustness and reliability. It is designed for 24/7 reliable operation year after year.
1.2 System components

A standard system delivery consists of:
• DPS 132 unit
• Cabinet, 6U
• Keyboard with rollerball
• IALA beacon receiver (included in the DPS 132 unit)
• GNSS L1/L2 antenna
• DGPS beacon antenna
• DPS 132 User's Manual
• DPS 132 Installation Manual
• DPS 132 Site Manual
• Interconnection cable
• Mains cable
• Antenna mounting rod
The DPS 132 unit includes a combined GPS L1/L2 and SBAS receiver. The receiver
has 14 GPS L1, 14 GPS L2 channels and 2 SBAS channels. The SBAS signals have the
same frequency as the GPS L1 signals, so only the GNSS L1/L2 antenna is needed.
G200-41 / rev. 5 1
DPS 132
Figure 1 Typical DPS 132 configuration

Options:
1 Coax cables for GNSS and IALA beacon antennas.
2 Coax connectors.
DPS 132 is supplied in different configurations depending on application and specific
user needs. The DPS 132 cabinet contains the DPS 132 unit and the keyboard with
rollerball.
In addition to the above supplied parts, the following is needed if external DGPS is
used:
• Additional cables for input of DGPS corrections.
• Additional cables for output to external DGPS equipment.
General arrangement drawings of the ship should be acquired to simplify GNSS antenna
mounting and to estimate sufficient lengths of cable.
For external interfaces, electrical characteristics and data formats must be provided as
well as necessary cables and connectors.

Installation manual
2.8.2 PPS signal

A 1 pulse-per-second (1PPS) signal synchronised with GPS time is available from the
BNC plug at the rear of the DPS unit. This PPS signal originates from the GNSS
receiver within the unit. This PPS signal is buffered and fed to the BNC plug at 50 Ohm
impedance. The high level is at +5 V and the low level is 0 V. The 1PPS signal is active
high and has a nominal pulse width of 9 ms. The 1PPS is generated exactly once every
second with its rising edge synchronised to GPS time.
2.8.3 LED indicators

At the front of the DPS unit there are four LED indicators. The indicator to the left
appears green when the system is turned ON. The indicator to the right is turned on and
appears green every time a PPS pulse is generated from the GNSS receiver. The other
LEDs have for the moment no function and will always be turned off.

steel pipe in areas where the danger for radiation is high.
The maximum length for each of the antenna coaxial cables is 100 metres for the cable
type normally delivered with the system (1/2" Superflex). If longer cables are needed, a
low noise signal amplifier (LNA) should be fitted.
G200-41 / rev. 5 13
DPS 132
3.2.2 DPS unit

When installing the DPS Unit, consider the following:
• The unit is designed for indoor installation and should not be exposed to heavy
vibrations, transformers or similar.
• The unit has an internal fan and requires free airflow from the rear and out to the
sides. It is recommended that ventilation or air conditioning is provided in order to
keep the ambient operating temperature around +20 °C. The best location is typically
in the instrument room or on the bridge mounted into a 19-inch rack with good
ventilation and resilient mounting.
• It is recommended that the area around the unit is kept free from dust and static
electricity.
• All connections to the unit are on the rear side and available space for cable
connections and service must be provided.
• The keyboard is located inside the cabinet and the distance between the monitor and
the cabinet should be limited to a practical range where the monitor can be seen and
read from the position of the cabinet.
Note The recommended keyboard cable length is 3.3 m (10 feet) maximum
without degradation. If longer keyboard cable is needed, please use
keyboard extender.
3.3 Cabinet mounting
3.3.1 Mounting with delivered cabinet

The cabinet should be securely mounted. Drilling plan for the resilient mountings is
included in the attached drawings.
Caution The cabinet must be connected to a grounded outlet.
It is recommended that the cables attached to the rear of the unit should be long enough
to accommodate all service from the front.
The cabinet must be mounted in such a way that the minimum cable bends (on the rear
side) are not exceeded. For the antenna cables it may be necessary to use the short
transition RG-213 or RG-214 cable in order to route the cables properly into the cabinet.
14 G200-41 / rev. 5
Installation manual
3.3.2 Mounting without delivered cabinet

A system delivered without a cabinet shall be mounted on attachment rails in a standard
19-inch rack. Minimum depth of the rack is 600 mm.
Caution The rack must be resiliently mounted, otherwise the warranty

will be void.
The rack should have air inlet on top and bottom or ventilation splits on the sides. The
DPS Unit has ventilation on the sides. Forced ventilation may be required if the cabinet
contains several electronic modules.
Screened cables are connected to the back of the unit, directly on the rear panel or on a
connector block with screen terminals. All cables connected to the unit must be
screened. Make sure that the minimum antenna cable bends are not exceeded.

3.5 Antenna and cable mounting

The maximum length of the antenna coaxial cables is 100 metres for the cable types
normally supplied with the system. If longer cables are needed, a low noise signal
amplifier (LNA) should be fitted.
3.5.1 GNSS antenna and cable mounting

Instructions for mounting of the GNSS antenna are included in the following paragraphs
and on the attached drawing in the mechanical drawings section.
The cables used are RG-214 and ½" Cellflex superflexible.
How to install the antenna

1 Attach the antenna to the mounting rod and attach the rod to the ship's masthead
or pole with proper mounting hardware like U-bolts or hose-clamps.
2 Attach the antenna interconnection cable to the antenna and connect the ½"
Cellflex superflexible cable to the other end of the interconnection cable.
3 Wrap outdoor cable connections with waterproof self-vulcanising tape. An
alternative way of waterproofing is to use heat shrink hose with glue. The hose
should cover the whole connector and part of the cable.
4 Dependent on the cable installation, secure the cable to the mast every one to three
metres with clamps or bands.
Note The cable running from the GNSS antenna to the DPS unit should be as
straight as possible. Do not crush or crimp the cable with tie-downs, as
this will affect the electrical properties of the cable.
5 Check the antenna cable for short-circuiting. Route the connector at the other end
of the antenna cable to the main unit.
6 Connect the cable to the DPS unit. A short interconnection cable is delivered in
order to get secure cable runs into the cabinet.
Caution If the antenna cable is attached to the DPS unit, do not attach
the antenna cable to the antenna when the unit is running. If
the antenna cable is short-circuited with POWER ON, the GNSS
receiver will be damaged.
→ See pages 60 and 61 for details regarding GNSS antenna.
G200-41 / rev. 5 21
DPS 132
3.5.2 IALA beacon antenna and cable mounting

The construction of the mount enables routing of the cable either along the inside or the
outside of the mast tube. A more detailed mounting specification of the IALA beacon
antenna is found in the appendixes. An RG-213 or RG-214 cable is used for distances
shorter than 50 metres, while an ½" superflexible cable is used for distances longer than
50 metres.

1 Attach the antenna to a mast tube or pole by using the provided U-bolts.
2 Attach the antenna cable to the antenna.
3 Wrap outdoor cable connections with waterproof self-vulcanising tape. An
alternate way of waterproofing is to use heat shrink hose with glue. The hose
should cover the whole connector and part of the cable.
4 Make sure the ground strap at the antenna base is connected to a suitable place
ensuring good grounding. When installed, the terminals of the ground strap should
be sealed from moisture to prevent corrosion. Paint or silicone sealant can be
recommended for this.
5 Secure the cable to the mast every one to three metres with clamps or bands.
6 Route the connector at the other end of the antenna cable to the main unit.
Connect the cable to the DPS unit. A short RG-213 or RG-214 cable is often
needed in order to secure cable runs into the cabinet. This cable is included in the
package.
Caution If the antenna cable is attached to the DPS unit, do not attach
the antenna cable to the antenna when the unit is running. If
the antenna cable is short-circuited with POWER ON, the IALA
beacon receiver will be damaged.
→ See page 63 for details regarding IALA antenna.

shape from a file.
Vessel shape The vessel shapes supported are ship, rig and jackup.
From file Input of vessel shape from file, see separate section.
Vessel opacity A percentage scaling of the opacity of the vessel shape on the
screen.
4.3.2.2 Vessel shape from file

For later configuration of sensor and monitoring point locations on the vessel, it is an
advantage that the vessel is of the same shape as the vessel where the system is
installed. The background vessel is scaled on the screen to be equal to the installed
vessel. By moving the PC mouse around on the vessel, the coordinates (x,y,z) will be
shown in full scale. For later configuration of sensors and monitoring points, just place
the PC mouse on the screen on the spot where the sensor or monitoring point is wanted
and the coordinates for this point are then automatically defined.
It is possible to select a pre-defined shape of the vessel, which is ship, rig or jackup, or
to define the shape from File as a User Bitmap or User Text with 2D description of the
vessel.
30 G200-41 / rev. 5
Installation manual
To input Vessel shape from file as user text, proceed as follows:

1 When generating the vessel image from file, the following data format and
structure is to be used:
- The vessel data have to be in an ASCII file generated by Excel, Notepad
or similar tools.
- The file head includes LOA, Overall width, Overall height and Aft
(stern) to AP data in metres.
- Profile data in X and Z coordinates in metres. The first coordinate has to
be for Origin and start with 0.00 and the last coordinate has also to be
Origin end with 0.00.
- The top view data in X and Y coordinates in metres. The first coordinate
has to be for the aftermost point on the vessel and on the centre line. The
last coordinate has to be the foremost point on the vessel and on the
centre line. Only data for the starboard side of the vessel should be input
since a vessel is symmetric along the centre line.

DPS 132
Figure 14 GNSS sensor geometry configuration view
4.3.3.2 GNSS processing

For operations with weak satellite geometry, the use of height aiding and/or a lower
elevation mask, may improve the position availability.
Available height aiding mode values are Filter and Off. The height aiding mode is
normally set to Filter. In height aiding mode Filter, the processing software will use the
averaged antenna height measurement as a contribution to the position solution. For
operations with varying height, height aiding mode should be set to Off.
The elevation mask has a default value of 10 degrees, which is the recommended setting
for most scenarios. Under special conditions the Elevation mask might be changed in
order to improve the satellite geometry or reduce multipath. The recommended value
range is from 7 to 15 degrees.
The position integrity status indication (Safe, Caution, Unsafe) is based on the position
Accuracy level. The vessel's operational mode may require the accuracy level to be
modified. The default value is 10 m. If the EPE value is larger than the accuracy level,
the system integrity status is indicated as Unsafe.
The ionospheric activity will influence system performance. The Ionosphere activity
level may be set to help the system optimise the way it behaves under various
conditions. If the Ionosphere activity level is increased, the system will lower the
weight on single frequency reference stations. Available values are Normal, Medium
and High. The default value is Normal.

installed.
4.7.1 C-Map support

The DPS interfaces the CM-93/3 professional+ Global Chart Database, an Electronic
Chart System (ENC) that is verified according to ISO 19379 by DNV. Updates to this
database are released every week and is available via internet or on DVD. Licenses are
requested from C-Map by sending an e-mail to [email protected].
The database contains the complete set of charts supported by C-Map. The right to use
these charts is controlled by a combination of a USB dongle and a license code. When
the customer has decided the type of C-Map service, C-Map will issue a license code by
means of a text file that is sent to the customer. The USB dongle may be delivered by
Kongsberg Seatex AS or directly from C-Map.
Caution Be aware that all or parts of the navigation data will be covered
by the C-Map maintenance tools. Also, do not upgrade the
database at night, as the applications launched for C-Map
maintenance do not necessarily support night colour palettes.
The first time an eToken is used on a system it has to be initialized. To ensure that
previous information about a key has been erased, select the Tools menu, then C-Map
User Setup. Click the Yes button in all displayed dialogs to confirm that you want to
re-initialize the license.

A license file, normally named password.usr, is sent from C-Map when a license
has been purchased. This license file is uniquely linked to the ID of the eToken dongle,
and it is required that this eToken is inserted to a USB port in order to correctly update
the license.
Licenses are updated from the Licenses tab of the C-Map Chart Manager.

The NMEA telegrams listed below are input sentences processed and displayed as
information in the NMEA display.
The following telegrams may be used:
APB, BOD, BWC, BWR, BWW, DBT, DPT, GGA, GLL, HDG, HDT, MTW, MWV,
RMA, RMB, RMC, VBW, VHW, VTG, WCV, XTE, XTR, ZDA, ZTG.
Installation
The NMEA display front is fully waterproof and can therefore be installed on deck or
below. The connections at the rear shall be protected from water ingress. The surface
where the display is going to be installed, must be flat and even to within 0.5 mm.
How to mount the display

1 Do not remove the protection film on the display before the installation is
complete.
2 Carefully position the self-adhesive template on the surface where the display is to
be mounted.
3 Drill a small hole (pilot hole) first and then check the location on the other side of
the panel or bulkhead to confirm suitability.
4 Use the template to cut out an 85 mm (3.4'') hole for the display.
5 Drill the four screw holes using a 2.5 mm (0.1'') drill.
6 Secure the display using the four self-tapping screws provided. Ensure that the
sealing gasket is correctly located.
7 Apply the front panel corners.
Note Ensure that sockets without cable connections have the protection plug
inserted.

Figure 46 NMEA display mounting details
Cable and connectors

The NMEA display has four identical two-pin connector sockets protected by rubber
plugs at the rear. Each socket is identified with number and signal markings.
The power port, port 1, is none polarized.
The NMEA port, port 4, is unidirectional, i.e. it is automatically configured for input or
output. The display communicates with external equipment on port 4 through an RS-
422 serial line, 4800 baud, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
Note The NMEA cable must be plugged into port 4. Wrong connection may
damage the connected equipment.

Connection with DPS system

If one display is connected to the DPS, cut the 0.3 m cable that comes with the
instrument in two and extend the halves to the 12 V supply and the DPS respectively
using twisted pair cable.
The NMEA port on the display shall be connected to a DP port on the DPS unit. Which
NMEA message(s) to output to the display shall be configured in the NavEngine
Configuration view, see section on Telegram out properties.
Operation
The display screens of the NMEA display are arranged in a table as described in Figure
5 below. The table consists of five screen groups, each group being a logical collection
of useful screens.
The display is operated by five buttons. By pressing one of the arrow buttons, selection
of display screens is available. Pressing the upper buttons, screen groups are selected,
while different screens in each screen group are selected by using the two lower arrow
buttons. The reset button, the button between the lower arrow buttons, is only used on
some of the screens.
The display is self-configuring and will automatically present data available at the data
input port.
Display screens
The NMEA display is arranged in five screen groups: Speed/Depth, Wind, VMG, NAV
and Longitudinal-Transverse Speed. Each group has a set of screens, which logically
belongs to the group.
