Zipwake External Global Positioning Unit

Description

EXTERNAL GPS ANTENNA

With a rugged construction, the waterproof, 5Hz, 20-channel receiver, Zipwake external GPS antenna can be pole or surface mounted on any vessel. It provides accurate and rapid vessel position and speed updates, and vessel speed is a necessary input for the Zipwake’s automatic motion controller. 

The external GPS is optional and intended to be used when no other strong GPS signal is available for the Zipwake system, e.g. when the vessel has just one helm station with a shielding roof and does not have other accessible GPS sources. In this case, the external GPS antenna is a great solution. The Zipwake extension cables can be used to extend the 5 m cable to 15 m. It easily connects to the connector marked EXT GPS on the back of the control panel. The external GPS can be connected to the control panel installed in the system.
