Product description
2 Product description
This chapter describes the DPS 110 system and gives an overview of GPS, DGPS and
related information.
2.1 Purpose and applications

The DPS 110 is a high-performance DGPS position sensor that houses an IALA
beacon receiver and a DGNSS receiver. DPS 110 is capable of sub-metre performance
using the free-of-charge differential corrections from IALA beacons and SBAS
(WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS/GAGAN) and the subscription-based SeaSTAR SGG service.
When using the SeaSTAR SGG service, there is no degradation in position accuracy
as generally associated with increasing distance from a fixed reference station. The
SeaSTAR SGG service provides consistent sub-metre level accuracy positioning with
global validity.
DPS 110 is a cost efficient DGPS solution designed for users where availability and
reliability are paramount, but where accuracy demands are a little less. DPS 110 has a
built-in display for easy system configuration and status monitoring and is an ideal
solution for workboats and platform support vessels.
This system is an addition to the existing high-end DPS range comprising DPS
132/200/232/700/4D.
The Kongsberg Seatex DPS product line is well-proven and used by professional marine
and offshore operators worldwide.
2.2 System features

The system comprises the following features:
• High performance GPS L1/L2 receiver
• SBAS capability
• IALA beacon capability
• Built-in L-band receiver with Fugro SeaSTAR SGG capability
• Optional standard RTCM correction input
G200-87/4.0 13
Kongsberg DPS 110
• Separate GPS(GNSS), IALA beacon and Spotbeam antennas

• Configurable output for external interfaces
• Integrated 2-line LCD display and keypad for system configuration and status
• Easy software updates via USB
• Ethernet interface
• 1 PPS output
2.3 Position determination

DPS 110 comprises a signal processing core with advanced algorithms and true parallel
processing of all available GPS and DGPS signals, including SBAS (e.g. WAAS,
EGNOS, MSAS and GAGAN), IALA beacon and SeaSTAR SGG corrections. DGPS
corrections from different sources are combined by the unique MULTIREF capability.
The DPS 110 supplements SeaSTAR SGG corrections with regional SBAS and local
DGPS corrections. The SeaSTAR SGG service provides consistent sub-metre level
accuracy positioning with global validity.
2.4 GNSS systems

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is a generic term for satellite navigation
systems providing autonomous geo-spatial positioning with global coverage. GPS is
the only GNSS with full constellation. However, GLONASS is operable but do not
have full constellation. Galileo is a third GNSS which is in the development phase
and scheduled to be operational in 2013.
2.4.1 GPS - Global Positioning System

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of
a network of satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defence. GPS was
originally intended for military applications but in the 1980es the government made the
system available for civilian use.
GPS provides a highly accurate and continuous navigation service. It provides 24-hour,
all weather and global coverage.
The system is divided into the following three segments:
14 G200-87/4.0
Product description
Space segment This segment consists of at least 24 satellites (21 active plus
3 operating spares) in 12-hour circular orbits. At an altitude
of 20200 km, each satellite is transmitting orbital and clock
parameters.
Control segment This segment comprises Ground Control Stations
geographically spread for monitoring, up-loading and control
of the satellite transmitted characteristics.
User segment This segment comprises GPS receivers installed onboard ships,
aircraft etc. to track satellite signals and transform them into
position, velocity and time.
Each GPS satellite transmits radio signals at two microwave frequencies in the L band,
1575.43 MHz (L1) and 1227.6 MHz (L2).
The L1 signal is modulated by a precise (P) code for Precise Positioning Service (PPS)
and a course/acquisition (C/A) code for Standard Positioning Service (SPS). The P
code is for military and authorised personnel only and is encrypted before broadcast to
GPS users. The C/A code is for civil users. Until 1 May 2000 the accuracy of the C/A
code was degraded to 100 m (2DRMS) horizontal positioning by the use of Selective
Availability (SA). However, SA is now switched off and the position accuracy of the
system is about 16 metres 95% CEP.
The fundamental technique for GPS is one-way ranging from the satellites. Triangulation,
based on ranging from the satellites, is the basis of the system. In order to triangulate,
the GPS measures distance using the travel time of a radio message. To measure travel
time, timing is crucial. GPS therefore needs very accurate clocks. The transmission is
referred to highly accurate atomic frequency standards onboard the satellites, which are
in synchronisation with the GPS system time base.
The time difference from when the signal leaves the satellites until it is received at the
GPS receiver, is measured. The distance is computed by multiplying with the speed of
light. Once the distance to a satellite is known, the satellite's position in space must be
found. The GPS satellites are launched into very precise orbits and their position is
transmitted to the user. Knowing the satellites' position and the distance to the user
receiver, the user position can be computed. Three perfect measurements can solve a
three-dimensional point in space.
However, the crystal clocks in the GPS receivers are drifting, and the position is therefore
inaccurate. To calculate a three dimensional position, four unknowns have to be solved
(latitude, longitude, height and receiver clock offset). To solve this equation with four
unknowns it is necessary with range measurements from four or more satellites.
The geometry, and hence the accuracy of the position calculation, varies with the number
of satellites available and their location.
Using differential corrections from one or more GPS Reference Stations significantly
reduces all major error sources. This principle is called differential GPS (DGPS).
G200-87/4.0 15
Kongsberg DPS 110
2.4.2 Differential GNSS (DGNSS)

Position accuracy may be enhanced by using the differential technique. This can be
achieved by using either traditional DGNSS or by clock and orbit corrections.
2.4.2.1 Traditional DGNSS (RTCM)

The DGNSS system improves the position accuracy by using the differential technique.
This is accomplished by accurately surveyed GNSS reference stations which calculate
pseudo-range corrections for all the satellites tracked by the reference station's GNSS
receiver.
The DGNSS system also uses a communication link for transmission of correction data
from the Reference Station to the vessel.
Each GNSS reference station compares the measured distance to a satellite with the one
calculated based on the satellites' and the reference station's known co-ordinates. The
resultant range difference is the correction data, which are broadcast from the GNSS
reference stations to the Differential GNSS correction receiver(s) on board the vessel(s).
The correction data can also be broadcast via satellite, e.g. an Inmarsat satellite.
At the vessel, these pseudo-range corrections are applied to correct the pseudo-ranges
received by the vessel's GNSS receiver, prior to using them for the calculation of a
three-dimensional navigation solution. The concept of a differential GNSS (DGNSS)
real-time system is illustrated in the figure.

3.9.3.3 PPS signal

A 1 pulse-per-second (1PPS) signal synchronized with GNSS time is available from the
PPS port at the rear of the Processing Unit. The port has galvanic separation. This
RS-422 1PPS signal originates from the GNSS receiver within the Processing Unit. The
1PPS signal is buffered and fed to the terminal at 120 Ohm. The 1PPS signal is active
high and has a pulse width of 10 ms. The 1PPS is generated exactly once every second
with its rising edge synchronised to GPS time.
It is also possible to select an external source as PPS. The connector at the rear is then
input.

3.9.4 Ethernet connection

The Processing Unit has the following LAN and connection possibilities.
• 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.
G200-87/4.0 29
Kongsberg DPS 110
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 obstructed 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 8 Good antenna location
30 G200-87/4.0
Installation
Figure 9 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 10 Multipath
G200-87/4.0 31
Kongsberg DPS 110
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 11 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.

Antenna location is critical to system performance. When installing the Spotbeam
antenna, note the following:
• The antenna must be mounted at least 1.5 metres away from transmitting antennas of
any frequency. Closer positioning may cause overloading of receiver RF circuits.
• The antenna should be mounted at the highest practical point that will give a good
view of the horizon and be as near level as possible.
32 G200-87/4.0
Installation

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 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 Installation of Processing Unit

The Processing Unit should be securely mounted to a flat surface using the table
mounting brackets. The mounting brackets are provided with the system by default. The
Processing Unit can be mounted both vertically and horizontally. The table mounting
brackets provide both table top mounting or under table mounting.
Figure 12 Bottom (left) and top (right) mounted bracket
G200-87/4.0 33
Kongsberg DPS 110
Figure 13 Processing Unit with table mounting brackets
A pair of 2U rack mounting brackets is also delivered together with the system as
additional equipment in case the system should be installed in a rack.
In order to use these brackets, the table mounting brackets must be removed. The rack
mounting brackets are fastened under the front cover.
Figure 14 Processing Unit with rack mounting brackets
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 unit 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.
Caution
The Processing Unit must be resiliently mounted; otherwise the warranty
will be void.
The Processing Unit should have ventilation on the sides. 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.
34 G200-87/4.0
Installation
4.4 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.
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.
4.4.1 GNSS antenna and cable installation

The cables used for the GNSS antenna are RG-214 and ½" Cellflex superflex.
G200-87/4.0 35
Kongsberg DPS 110
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.
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

• See GNSS antenna installation on page 94 for more details.
4.4.2 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.

way of waterproofing is to use heat shrink hose with glue. The hose should cover
the whole connector and part of the cable.
4 Secure the cable to the mast every one to three metres with clamps or bands.
5 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.
Related topics
• See IALA beacon antenna on page 95 for more details.
4.4.3 Spotbeam (DGNSS) antenna and cable installation

The antenna cable must be correctly installed for optimum system operation. Therefore,
the following should be noted:
• Do not route an L-Band receiver antenna cable with the cabling of any other radio
system. This may cause interference between both systems.
• If at all possible, do not run L-Band receiver antenna cables parallel to other radio
system cabling closer than 30 centimetres.
• Avoid routing cables alongside power generator cabling and other high electrical
noise sources. This can cause interference.
• Do not kink cables or force cables into sharp bends that may damage the cables and
cause system failure.
• Cable routing must avoid high temperature exposure.
• After installation, ensure that excess cable is looped and clamped or tied safely away
from any control cables, fuel lines, hydraulic lines or moving parts.
• When stowing over-length cabling, form loops not less than 150 mm minimum
cable bend radius.
• Cable routing must avoid high temperature exposure.
How to install the DGNSS 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 Secure the cable to the mast every one to three metres with clamps or bands.
5 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.

NMEA telegrams
This appendix describes the formats of the subset of NMEA-0183 messages that are
available for output by the system.
The telegrams listed in this section are available. For further details, refer to the NMEA
standard.
B.1 GGA messages

The GGA message contains time, position and GPS/GLONASS data. The message is as
specified in NMEA 0183 version 3.0. The message structure is as follows:
Format
$--GGA,hhmmss.ss,llll.ll,a,yyyyy.yy,a,x,xx,x.x,x.x,M,x.x,M,
x.x,xxxx*hh
Format description
1 hhmmss.ss = UTC of position (hours, minutes, seconds)
2 llll.ll = Latitude (degrees, minutes and fractions of minutes)
3 a = Latitude sector, N - North or S - South
4 yyyyy.yy = Longitude (degrees, minutes and fractions of minutes)
5 a = Longitude sector, E - East or W - West
6 x = GPS Quality indicator: 0 = Fix not valid, 1 = GPS/GLONASS fix, 2 =
DGPS/GLONASS fix, 5 = Float RTK fix (HP/XP corrections used). This field
shall not be a null field.
7 xx = Number of satellites in use, 00 - 12
8 x.x = HDOP - horizontal dilution of precision 00.0 to 99.9
9 x.x = Altitude, reference: mean-sea-level (geoid)
10 M = Altitude unit, M = metres.
11 x.x = Geoidal separation: the difference between the WGS-84 ellipsoid and
mean-sea-level (geoid)
12 M = Geoidal separation unit, M = metres
G200-87/4.0 81
Kongsberg DPS 110
13 x.x = Age of differential corrections, in seconds. 0 when DGPS not used

14 xxxx = Differential reference station ID, 0000-1023
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.
B.2 GLL messages

The GLL message presents latitude and longitude of vessel position, time at position
fix and status. The message is as specified in NMEA 0183 version 3.0. The message
structure is as follows:
Format
$--GLL,llll.ll,a,yyyyy.yy,a,hhmmss.ss,A,a*hh
Format description
1 llll.ll = Latitude component of position, in degrees, minutes and fraction of minutes
2 a = Latitude sector, N - North or S - South
3 yyyyy.yy = Longitude component of position, in degrees, minutes and fraction of
minutes
4 a = Longitude sector, E - East or W - West
6 A = Status, A = valid, V = invalid
7 a = Mode indicator, A = autonomous mode, D = differential mode, N = data not valid
8 *hh = Checksum.
82 G200-87/4.0
Telegram options
It is possible to use the last valid position in all GNS messages by checking the Use last
valid position. The default is to present the current position.
B.3 GSA messages

The GSA message presents DOP values and satellites used in the position solution. The
message is as specified in NMEA 0183 version 3.0. The message structure is as follows:
Format
$--GSA,a,x,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,x.x,x.x,x.x*hh
Format description

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.
