GPS 17x NMEA 0183 HVS Wired for Two-Way Communication

Exceptions:

If your NMEA 0183-compliant device has only one receiving wire (Rx), connect it to the

gray wire (Tx/A) from the GPS 17x antenna, and leave the white/red wire (Tx/B) from the

antenna unconnected.
If your NMEA 0183-compliant device has only one transmitting wire (Tx), connect it to the

white wire (Rx/A) from the GPS 17x antenna, and connect the white/orange wire (Rx/B)

to ground.

NotE: The orange (accessory on) wire is used when wiring the GPS 17x to a Garmin chartplotter,

or other NMEA 0183 device that has a defined accessory signal wire. If you are wiring the GPS

17x to a device that does not have an accessory signal wire, the orange wire from the GPS 17x

should be connected to ground.

cAutIoN: If you are wiring the GPS 17x to a device that does not have an accessory signal wire,

connect the GPS 17x power wire to the ignition or install an in-line switch. The GPS 17x can drain

the battery of the boat if it is not switched.

Step 3: Update Your Chartplotter

To ensure compatibility with the GPS 17x, upgrade your Garmin chartplotter with the latest

software. For more information, visit
