2 Product description
The High Performance Position Sensor, DPS 232, is developed by Kongsberg Seatex
AS specifically for the dynamic positioning (DP) market where GPS and GLONASS
position sensors are critical in order to achieve optimum DP capability.
2.1 Purpose and applications

DPS 232 is a new generation GNSS based position reference system which takes
positioning to the next level for secure and robust solutions exerting GPS and
GLONASS. DPS 232 features technology that is one step ahead, and the solution is
prepared for future systems like GALILEO.
DPS 232 is based on a dual frequency GPS/GLONASS receiver and offers the best
possible combination of GNSS signals for demanding operations in a challenging
environment. The addition of GLONASS to GPS significantly increases satellite
availability, provides robust integrity monitoring and results in more precise solutions,
particularly in highly obstructed environments. It is designed for 24/7 reliable operation
year after year.
2.2 System components

A standard system delivery consists of:
• DPS 232 unit
• Cabinet, 6U
• Keyboard with trackball
• IALA beacon receiver (included in the DPS 232 unit)
• GPS/GLONASS L1/L2 antenna (GNSS)
• DGPS beacon antenna
• DPS 232 User Manual
• DPS 232 Installation Manual
• DPS 232 Site Manual
16 G210-14/3.0
Product description
• Antenna pigtail cable

• Interconnection cable
• Mains cable
• Antenna mounting rod
The DPS 232 unit includes a combined GPS/GLONASS L1/L2 and SBAS receiver. The
receiver has 14 L1 and 14 L2 GPS channels, 12 L1 and 12 L2 GLONASS channels and 2
SBAS channels. The SBAS signals have the same frequency as the GPS L1 signals, so
only one GPS/GLONASS antenna is needed.
Figure 1 Typical DPS 232 configuration
In addition to the above delivered parts, the following is needed:

• Coax cable for GNSS antenna
• Coax cable for IALA beacon antenna
• Coax connectors
• DGNSS corrections on one or more serial lines for improved position accuracy
(recommended)
• Monitor
• Additional cables for input of DGNSS corrections
• Additional cables for output to external DGNSS equipment
General arrangement drawings of the ship should be acquired to simplify GNSS antenna
mounting and to estimate sufficient lengths of cable.

3.12.3 RS-422 A and B signal definition

According to the following standard the signal state definitions are:
• IEC 61162-1. The idle, marking, logical 1, OFF or stop bit states are defined by a
negative voltage on line A with respect to line B. The active, spacing, logical 0, ON
or start bit states are defined by a positive voltage on line A with respect to line B.
It should be noted that the above A with respect to B levels are inverted from the
voltage input/output requirements of standard UARTs and that many line drivers
and receivers provide a logic inversion.
Figure 3 Principle drawing for talker and listener circuits
The RS–422 serial ports on the Processing Unit have galvanic isolation on both talker
(transmit -TX) and listener (receive -RX). Interface circuits are fed by a DC/DC
converter with galvanic isolation (transformer) and signal isolation is provided by
optocouplers type HPCL 06. Transmitter/receiver data circuits are of type LTC491. The
transmit part may feed up to 32 listeners if the minimum DC load is above 60 Ohm. The
receiver -RX termination in the Processing Unit (100 R) is switched on off by FW/SW.
Note
With reference to the table showing the pin layout for the serial ports on the rear panel
screw terminals, note that the separate “GND” pin for each port is isolated from the
chassis and shall act as a common signal intended to be connected between the talker
(-TX) and the listener side (RX) of other equipment, for example the corresponding
isolated “GND” pin or common pin. The purpose of the common signal is to increase
the reliability of the hardware transmission. It must not be connected to the chassis or
the cable screen. This applies to both sides of a connection. The cable screen shall be
connected to the equipment chassis on one side only, preferably talker side, -TX.

• LAN 1 in the front. This is primarily a service port and has less capacity (10/100
Mbps) than the other LANs. To connect this LAN to a network, a straight-through
twisted pair (TP) cable with RJ-45 connectors must be used. A straight-through cable
is one where the pins of one connector are connected to the same pins of the other
connector. In special instances a crossover cable instead of a straight-through cable is
needed, for example when connecting a Processing Unit to another Processing Unit.
Below is the pin wiring for the different TP cables:

4.2 Location of system parts

The following sections contain instructions regarding location of the various system
parts.
4.2.1 GNSS antenna

The most critical aspect of the system installation is the location of the GNSS antenna.
Incorrect or inadequate installation can lead to poor positioning performance or complete
loss of position.
If the antenna is installed in a poor location, it can suffer from masking, multipath or
interference from other radio sources which can affect the position performance.
Masking
The GNSS antenna should have an unobstructed line of sight to the sky. The signals from
the satellite propagate by line-of-sight, which means that if the antenna cannot see the
satellite, the reception will be severely impaired, if it occurs at all.
Potential obstructions are other masts and antennas, cranes, rigs and fixed platforms,
buildings in ports, high cliffs or hills close to shore. The impact of this can be anything
from degraded performance to a complete loss of positioning.
Figure 7 Good antenna location
34 G210-14/3.0
Installation
Figure 8 Bad antenna location
Multipath
Inappropriate location of the antenna can result in the antenna receiving reflections of
the incoming signal as well as the signal itself (multipath). The reflected multipath
signal takes a longer path than the direct signal, introducing an error into the position
calculation.
Figure 9 Multipath
G210-14/3.0 35
Kongsberg DPS 232
Interference from other radiating sources

Interference can be caused by close proximity to other radiating sources. Installing
GNSS antennas in close proximity to satellite communication systems operating in or
nearby GPS/GLONASS frequency bands (1.2 to 1.6 GHz) should be avoided (i.e. Sat C,
Iridium). Ideally the antenna should be situated at a minimum of 3 metres from other
radiating sources. As this is not always practically possible, a compromise location
must be sought.
Recommended distance to Sat C is 2 to 3 metres horizontally and 0.5 to 1 metre vertically.
Figure 10 Recommended distance to Sat C
During installation, comprehensive tests should be carried out for potential interference
by conducting transmissions from each RF source for extended periods, individually
and simultaneously.

The IALA beacon antenna should be protected from direct illumination of radar beams
and other transmitting antennas such as Inmarsat antennas.
• Do not mount the antenna near transmitting antennas, radar arrays or satellite
communication equipment.
• Do not mount the antenna near areas that experience high vibrations, excessive heat
and electrical interference.

When installing the Processing Unit, note the following:
• The Processing Unit can be mounted on the bridge or in the instrument room.
• The unit is designed for indoor installation and should not be exposed to heavy
vibrations, transformers or similar.
• The unit should be resiliently mounted in a 19-inch rack to be in accordance with the
environmental standard IEC60945/EN60945.
36 G210-14/3.0
Installation
• 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.
4.3 Cabinet installation

4.3.1 Installation 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-214 cable in
order to route the cables properly into the cabinet.
4.3.2 Installation 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
Processing 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.

4.5 Antenna and cable installation

As the signals involved are inherently week RF signals, great care and attention should
be taken regarding the selection and installation of the RF cabling and connections made.
Attenuation of GNSS signals should be considered when selecting cable type, as signal
loss will dictate maximum lengths. The number of connectors and other components,
such as lightning protection devices, which will attenuate the signal, should also be
taken into account.
The maximum length of the antenna coaxial cables is 80 metres for the cable types
normally supplied with the system. If longer cables are needed, an RF Fiber Optical
Link should be used.
42 G210-14/3.0
Installation
Note
The specified cable length of 80 metres only applies to the GPS–702–GG-N antenna
delivered with the system. Other lengths may apply to other types of antennas.
The RF Fibre Optical Link is used as an antenna cable extension allowing the distance
between the antenna and receiver to be extended to several hundred metres.
It should also be noted that a too powerful signal may cause saturation of receiving
circuitry in shorter cable runs, making it necessary to use signal attenuators or cables
with higher attenuation levels.
Sharp bends, kinks and unnecessary connections should be avoided.
External connections should be appropriately treated with self-amalgamating tape other
preparations to keep out water.
As far as is practically possible, antenna cables should be kept separate from other cables
which may cause electrical interference, for example power cables, radio transmitter
cables, Inmarsat and VSAT cables.
When installing antennas and cables ensure that:
• Cable runs are not close to any hot work area or touching any hot surface.
• Cables are not bent too much.
• Correct types of cables are used.
• Cables are secured and labeled.
• All connectors are securely fastened.
• All antenna connections are sealed.
4.5.1 GNSS antenna and cable installation

The cables used for the GNSS antenna are RG-214 and ½" Cellflex superflex.
Caution
If the antenna cable is attached to the Processing 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.
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
superflex 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.
G210-14/3.0 43
Kongsberg DPS 232
4 Dependent on the cable installation, secure the cable to the mast every one to three
metres with clamps or bands (non metal).
Note
The cable running from the GNSS antenna to the Processing 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 Processing Unit. A short interconnection cable is delivered
in order to get secure cable runs into the cabinet.
Related topics
• See GNSS antenna installation on page 91 for more details.
4.5.2 IALA beacon antenna and cable installation

The construction of the mount enables routing of the cable either along the inside or the
outside of the mast tube. An RG-214 cable is used for distances shorter than 50 metres,
while an ½" superflex cable is used for distances longer than 50 metres.
Caution
If the antenna cable is attached to the Processing 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.
How to install the IALA beacon antenna

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 is
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 Processing Unit. A short RG-214 cable is often needed in order to
secure cable runs into the cabinet. This cable is included in the package.

attaching the antenna cables to the Processing Unit. If the antenna cable
is attached to the Processing Unit, do not attach the antenna cables to the
GNSS antenna with the Processing Unit powered on. If the antenna cable
is short-circuited with power on, the GNSS receivers within the Processing
Unit will be damaged.
Note
Do not place the cable in between the tongues at the rear
of the unit but fasten the cable with strips as illustrated.
How to carry out the electrical installation

Note

5.4.2 Vessel shape from file

The pre-defined scalable vessel shapes represent the actual vessel outline only in rare
cases. In order to configure the accurate location of various sensors, equipment and
monitoring points, it is recommended to load a separate vessel model from file.
Select the Use vessel drawing check box, then click the Browse... button to browse for
an image file. Three file types are available: Vessel models(*.svm), Vessel vector images
(*.svi) andOld vessel images (*.txt).
52 G210-14/3.0
Configuration
The system supports two types of two dimensional outlines: side view (towards
starboard) and top view.
The vessel image file has to obey the following requirements:
1 The vessel data have to be in an ASCII file generated by Excel, Notepad or similar
tools.
2 The file head includes Overall length (LOA), Overall width, Overall height and
Stern to Frame 0 (AP) data in metres.
3 Profile (side view) data in X and Z coordinates in metres, related to the origin.
Coordinates are specified clockwise from a point aft of the origin, and the last
coordinate has to equal the first coordinate to form a closed polygon.
4 The top view data in X and Y coordinates in metres. The first coordinate has
to be aft of the origin along the centre line. Successive coordinates are specified
clockwise, and the last coordinate has to equal the first to form a closed polygon.
Vessel image files may be created by Kongsberg Seatex AS upon customer request. GA
drawings or similar is required to create vessel image files.
A typical example of a vessel data file is illustrated.

Figure 22 GNSS sensor geometry configuration view
5.5.2 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 Ionosphere activity value is used to indicate the level of ionospheric activity.
Available values are Normal, Medium and High. The default value is Normal.
Note
During periods with increased ionospheric activity, this value should be set to High for
optimized system performance. Distant single frequency reference stations will then have
less influence on the position calculations.

backup stick on e.g. a laptop PC.
A backup stick creation package consists of an executable (.exe) file and an image
archive file (.7z) containing the product’s system software. Please contact customer
support for advice on where and how to get the package.
How to create a backup stick on a PC

1 Download or copy the backup stick creation package to a PC, e.g. a laptop, and make
sure that the image archive file is located in the same folder as the executable file.
Note
Do NOT download the backup stick creation package to a HMI or Processing Unit.
2 Insert a 8GB USB flash drive into a USB port in your PC.
Note
The USB stick will be reformatted as part of the creation process, and existing
contents will be lost.

How to install the antenna

After a site has been selected, install the antenna as follows.
1 Verify that the thread on the mount does not extend more than 7/8" (22 mm) to
ensure the plastic inside the antenna receptacle is not damaged when the mount is
inserted. If it extends further than 7/8" (22 mm), add two jam nuts to shorten the
exposed thread, ensuring the nuts are well-tightened.
2
Align the mount thread with the metal adapter
on the bottom of the antenna and rotate the
antenna clockwise until it is securely screwed
to the mount. Using a wrench, tighten the
adapter to the mount.
3 Remove the dust cap from the antenna's
N-Type connector.
4 Attach the male N-Type connector of the
coaxial cable to the antenna's N-Type.
Note
The metal adapter on the bottom of the antenna is fixed in place. Do not attempt
to remove it.
5 Attach the end of the coaxial cable to the antenna input port of the receiving device.
All NovAtel GNSS receivers provide the necessary power through their antenna
RF connectors.

15 *hh = Checksum.
Telegram options
The telegram output configuration contains a list of options (see Telegram out properties,
Options drop-down list).
Some older external systems may not handle correction age values above 9.9 s. To avoid
such conflicts, it is possible to limit the correction age to 9.9 s in the GGA telegram by
checking the Limit correction age to 9.9 seconds in GGA. The default is to report the
actual correction age.
It is possible to output the last valid position but flag as invalid by checking the Use last
valid position option. The default is to stop the telegram output when no new data is
available.
The NMEA standard allows a maximum of 12 satellites in the GGA message. As
many systems are able to use more than 12 satellites in the position solution, the actual
number of satellites used may be reported by checking the Allow more than 12 satellites
in GGA message option.
It is possible to set the GPS quality indicator to 5 (Satellite system used in RTK mode,
floating integers) when converged HP, XP or G2 solution is available and no GNSS
corrections are available. This is done by checking the Set GGA quality inticator to
5 if converged HP, XP or G2 option. The default is 1 if no GNSS corrections are used
in the position solution.
It is possible to use the DQI as the quality indicator of the GGA message, by checking
the Use DQI (0–9) as GGA quality indicator option. Note that when this option is checked,
the message talker ID is forced to 'DP' for all GGA messages through the selected output
port. The default is to use the GPS quality indicator as described in the NMEA 0183
standard, and use the talker ID selected for the system.

Appendix I
ROV support
The systems operator software supports displaying one or more ROVs as targets in the
Target Monitoring View (TMV). ROVs are indicated as circles. An ROV target may be
selected as the active target in the same way other targets are selected, and DT/BT to the
selected target is displayed in the upper part of the TMV.
ROV positions are received as NMEA 0183 telegrams from a KM Acoustic Position
Operator Station (APOS) via UDP.
This appendix describes how to prepare the operator software for reception and display
of ROVs.
Note
A network connection between the APOS and DPS systems is required in order to enable
ROV messages be read by the DPS. Always check with those in charge for network
security before connecting networks.
I.1 Configure APOS

Select Configure→Output... from the APOS menu. Select the NMEA Positions tab in
the appearing dialogue.

Verify that the Time in UTC check box is selected.

The system will interpret all formats indicated in the Local format group and convert
to geographical position.
It is recommended that the port number entered for the UDP channel is not in the range
31000 to 31010, as these ports are already used for other purposes in the system.
When the desired configuration has been applied, the configuration needs to be reflected
in the DPS. Note the selected UDP port and enter the same port in the ROV tab in
Operator SW configuration.
I.2 Configure ROV in Operator software

settings
The information needed for properly interfacing APOS for displaying ROVs is entered
in the ROV in System →Operator SW.

check box.
Enter the UDP port defined as the output port in APOS. Also, select the reference point
to be used as the reference for relative ROV telegrams.
