General Information
Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 About GPS

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.
1.1.2 Positioning by GPS

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. 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 receiver takes more time to fix position:
(1) When you turned the GPS 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 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.

Setup Procedure
8.2 Menu 3: GPS

8.2.1 Monitoring GPS satellite signal reception
You can monitor the signal status from GPS (SBAS) satellites. The signals from 3 satellites are used for
two-dimensional positioning, but signals from 4 or more satellites are required for three-dimensional
positioning.

Elevation angle of satellite Azimuth angle of satellite SBAS satellite information

The angle of satellite from The angle of satellite from true
horizon north (0 degree)
8.2.2 Selecting a measuring system mode initial setup: 3D

There are the two modes, 2D and 3D, in a measuring mode. Usually, it is used in 3D mode. Usually, in
3D mode, in case use it in 2D mode, they need to set up an antenna height manually. (see 7.2.4)
If you cannot receive signals from four satellites or if the PDOP value exceeds the limit, the
3D(three-dimensional measurement) mode is automatically switched to the 2D mode.
(3) Press [2] key to select “2:FIX MODE”.
(4) Press [ ] or [ ] key to select desired measuring system mode.
8.2.3 Selecting a geodetic datum Initial setup: WGS-84

The latitude and longitude are calculated based on the WGS-84 with GPS system. However, the charts
used in many countries are based on different geodetic datums. You can compensate this difference
from your chart by converting GPS position data into your actual chart system. To select a geodetic
datum, see "Local Geodetic System" (Annex).
(3) Press [3] key to select “3:DATUM”.
(4) Press [ ] or [ ] key to move cursor onto the desired geodetic datum.

8.2.4 Setting antenna height (above sea level) Initial height: 0

In case of 2D mode, the antenna height from sea level must be entered within 5 meters or 16 3/8 feet in
accuracy. If failed, the positioning accuracy may be worsened. The data can be set in either metric or
imperial system. For detail, refer to the setting procedure “Menu 8, Changing the antenna height unit”,
on page 8-13 in this manual.
(3) Press [4] key to select “4:ANT.H”.
(4) Enter a (4-digit) antenna height above sea level using numeric keys.
8.2.5 Masking DOP Initial setup: 07

You can set a DOP mask value in two-dimensional positioning to minimize the position fluctuation.
When the HDOP value exceeds this limit, positioning is stopped. During three-dimensional positioning,
you can set a PDOP mask value. When a satellite combination exceeds this limit, two-dimensional
positioning is selected automatically.
(3) Press [5] key to select “5:DOP MASK”.
(4) Enter a DOP mask value (00 to 99) using numeric keys.
8.2.6 Masking satellite elevation angle Initial setup: 10degrees

When the satellite is below 5 degrees above the horizon, signal reflection and interference can cause
erroneous positioning. You can improve the positioning accuracy by masking the elevation angle.
However, a large mask value shortens the signal receive time and most satellite combinations are
rejected.
(3) Press [6] key to select “6:ELV MASK”.
(4) Press [ ] or [ ] key to move cursor onto
elevation angle masking.

KGP-920 Chapter 12
KGP-920 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-920 can work on the same route as the external system does.
If a route is transferred to KGP-920 from the external system before voyage, KGP-920 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-920 and
KGP-920 navigates on the same route as the external system does.
In order to utilize this function, connection between KGP-920 and an external system should be
established by a connecting cable according to the operation manual (Page 69 and 70 interconnecting
Diagram).
12.1 Changing to the EXTERNAL mode

Communication with an external system such as ECDIS is established by switching KGP-920 from
NORMAL mode to EXTERNAL mode.
However switching to EXTERNAL mode is not acceptable when KGP-920 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.
(3) Press [ ] key to move cursor to “8:WPT.RTE” .
(5) Press [ ] key to select “EXT.”.
Cursor
A small E is displayed at the end of the way point identifier to show KGP-920 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 KGP-920
12.2 Route data transfer

Only a single route date can be transferred to KGP-920.
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-920 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-920 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.

Procedure to navigate by the received Complete route by following steps.
(5) Press [ ] or [ ] key to select the required Complete route identifier (name or number).
(6) Press [ ] key
(7) Press [ ] or [ ] key to select the start waypoint identifier (name or number).
The first waypoint identifier The first waypoint identifier

12.2.3 Working (active) route transfer

When KGP-920 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-920 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-920 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.
