6 GHP 10 Installation Instructions
• The CCU and the GHC 20 connect to the NMEA 2000 network.
If your boat does not have a NMEA 2000 network, one can be built
using the included NMEA 2000 cables and connectors
(page 13).
• To use advanced features of the GHP 10, optional NMEA
2000-compatible devices, such as a GPS device, can be connected to
the NMEA 2000 network.
Notice
The mounting surface must be at to avoid damaging the device when
it is mounted.
• The mounting location should provide optimal viewing as you
operate your vessel.
• The mounting location should allow easy access to the keys on the
GHC 20.
• The mounting surface must be strong enough to support the weight
of the GHC 20 and protect it from excessive vibration or shock.
• The area behind the surface must allow room for the routing and
connection of the cables.
There should be at least a 3-inch (8 cm) clearance behind the case of
the GHC 20.
• The location must be at least 8
1
/
4
in. (209 mm) from a magnetic
compass, to avoid interference.
• The location must be in an area that is not exposed to extreme
temperature conditions (page 19).
• You must connect the GHC 20 to the NMEA 2000 network.
• For the autopilot to function, you must correctly connect two wires
from the GHC 20 data cable:
◦ The yellow wire from the GHC 20 data cable must be connected
to the yellow wire of the CCU/ECU interconnect cable.
◦ The black wire from the GHC 20 data cable must be connected
to the same ground as the ECU.
• Optional NMEA 0183-compatible devices, such as a GPS device,
can be connected to the GHC 20 data cable (page 14).
For optimal performance in all conditions, Garmin recommends
connecting to a NMEA 2000 or analog tachometer speed source. Each
speed source in the table is listed in order of best to least in terms of
autopilot performance.
NMEA 2000
Engine
Data
• If your engine supports NMEA 2000 engine data,
and is connected to the same NMEA 2000 network
as the GHC 20 and the CCU, no other tachometry
connection is necessary. For more information on
the NMEA 2000 network, see page 12.
Mercury and Volvo offer add-on NMEA
2000 gateways to share Mercury and Volvo engine
information over the NMEA 2000 network. If you
have a Mercury or Volvo engine, these adapters
provide the easiest installation and the most reliable
engine data transfer. See your marine dealer for
more details.
Tachometer • If your engine does not support NMEA 2000 engine
data, you can connect the GHP 10 autopilot system
to the tachometer of your boat using the bare-wire
portion of the CCU/ECU interconnect cable. In most
cases, this connection can be made behind the
dashboard at the tachometer display.
•
• For a list of common engine tachometry
connections, visit www.garmin.com/ghp10/ and click
the manuals quick link.
If your boat uses an electrical system that
provides more than 12 Vdc, or if you sporadically
receive tachometer errors, install an external
tachometer lter (010-11399-00). Contact your local
Garmin dealer or Garmin product support for more
information.
GPS • GPS data can be used when tachometer data is
unavailable or unusable.
GPS speed source data is supported only
with GHC 20 software version 3.00 or higher when
used with GHP 10 software version 3.30 or higher.
• When connected to the GHC 20, GPS data can be
sent to the GHP 10 by connecting the device to a
NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183 network.
None • Although it is not recommended; some boats, such
as displacement hulls, can be congured to use no
speed source.
• No connections are necessary when the selected
speed source is ‘None’.
