Product Overview
Product overview
The V200s Vector™ GNSS Compass supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo,
BeiDou, and QZSS satellites using SI-TEX GNSS’ Crescent Vector
H220™ GNSS module. This User Guide is available for download from
WWW.SI-TEX.COM
.
Note: When referring to both the V200s Vector™ GNSS Compass, this manual uses the term V200s.
The multi-GNSS V200s supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS and offers an amazing world-wide 30 cm (RMS) accuracy via SI-TEX’s Atlas
GNSS global correction service.
The V200s offers an incredible combination of simple installation, small form factor, and amazing performance. The compass - measuring only 35 cm in length - mounts easily to a flat surface or pole. The stability and maintenance-free design of the V200s provides simple integration into autopilots, chart plotters, and AIS systems.
There are no mechanical parts such as gimbals or a rotating motor, so the
V200s Compass is free from routine maintenance. Heading is determined from GNSS, and there is no need to wait for settling time, gyrocompass calibration and speed corrections. Vector performance is not affected by geomagnetism, making it the perfect solution for any marine application.
The V200s is an integrated system that houses the following:
• Crescent Vector H220 module
• Dual mGNSS, multipath-resistant antennas
• Power supply
• Six-axis sensor
The sensor is present to improve system performance and to provide backup heading information in the event a GNSS heading is not available due to signal blockage. The sensor provides a substitute heading, accurate to within 1º per minute for up to three minutes.

Mounting
the V200s
Introduction This section provides information on mounting the V200s in the optimal location, orientation considerations, environmental considerations, and other mounting options.
GNSS satellite reception
When deciding where to mount the V200s, consider the following satellite reception recommendations:
• Ensure there is a clear view of the sky available to the V200s so the GNSS and L-band satellites are not masked by obstructions that may reduce system performance.
• Position is based off the primary GNSS antenna located on located on the end opposite the recessed arrow on the underside of the enclosure.
• Locate any transmitting antennas away from the V200s by at least a few meters to ensure tracking performance is not compromised.
• Ensure cable length is adequate to route into the vessel to reach a breakout box or terminal strip.
• Do not locate the antenna where environmental conditions exceed those specified in Appendix B, Technical Specifications of this document.

VHF interference
VHF interference from such devices as cellular phones and radio transmitters may interfere with GPS operation, however the Vector compass can still track other constellations, maintaining heading and position.
For example, if installing the V200s near marine radios, consider the following:
• VHF marine radio working frequencies (Channels 1 to 28 and 84 to 88) range from 156.05 to 157.40 MHz. The L1 GPS working center frequency is 1575.42 MHz. The bandwidth is +/- 2MHz to +/- 10 MHz, which is dependent on the GNSS antenna and receiver design.
• VHF marine radios emit strong harmonics. The 10th harmonic of VHF radio, in some channels, falls into the GPS working frequency band, which may cause the SNR of GNSS to degrade significantly.
• The radiated harmonic signal strength of different brands/models varies.
• Follow VHF radio manufacturers’ recommendations on how to mount their radios and what devices to keep a safe distance away.
• Handheld 5W VHF radios may not provide suitable filtering and may interfere with the V200s’s operation if too close.
Before installing the Vector Compass, use the following diagram to ensure there are no nearby devices that may cause VHF interference.

Environmental considerations
SI-TEX Vector Smart Antennas are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions; however, adhere to the following limits when storing and using the V200s:
• Operating temperature: -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F)
• Storage temperature: -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F)
• Humidity: 95% non-condensing
Mounting orientation
The V200s outputs heading, pitch, and roll readings regardless of the orientation of the antennas. The relation of the antennas to the vessel’s axis determines if you need to enter a heading, pitch, or roll bias. The primary antenna is used for positioning and the primary and secondary antennas, working in conjunction, output heading, pitch, and roll values.
The top of the V200s enclosure incorporates a sight design feature to help you align the enclosure on your vessel. Alignment accuracy is approximately +/- 2°.
Figure 2-3: Shorter design element
Note: Regardless of which mounting orientation you use, the V200s provides the ability to output the heave of the vessel. This output is available via the $GPHEV message. For more information on this message refer to the SI-TEX GNSS Technical Reference Manual .
Continued on next page
875-0395-10 V200s User Guide Rev A2 Page 24 of
Mounting the V200s
, Continued
Parallel orientation
Parallel installation orients the V200s parallel to, and along the centerline of, the axis of the vessel. This provides a true heading . In this orientation:
• If you use a gyrocompass and there is a need to align the Vector smart antenna, you can enter a heading bias in the V200s to calibrate the physical heading to the true heading of the vessel.
• You may need to adjust the pitch/roll output to calibrate the measurement if the Vector is not installed in a horizontal plane.
Perpendicular orientation
You can also install the antennas, so they are oriented perpendicular to the centerline of the vessel’s axis. In this orientation:
• Enter a heading bias of +90° if the primary antenna is on the starboard side of the vessel and -90° if the primary antenna is on the port side of the vessel.
• Configure the receiver to specify the GNSS smart antenna is measuring the roll axis using $JATT,ROLL,YES.
• Enter a roll bias to properly output the pitch and roll values.
• You may need to adjust the pitch/roll output to calibrate the measurement if the Vector is not installed in a horizontal plane.

If you have another accurate source of heading data on your vessel, such as a gyrocompass, you may use its data to correct for a bias in V200s alignment within the V200s software configuration.
Alternatively, you can physically adjust the heading of the V200s so that it renders the correct heading measurement or add a software offset.
Power/data cable considerations
Before mounting the V200s, consider the following regarding power/data cable routing:
Do
Ensure cable reaches appropriate power source
Keep cable away from corrosive chemicals
Connect to a data storage device, computer, or other device that accepts GNSS data
Keep cable away from rotating machinery
Remove unwanted slack from the cable at the V200s end
Secure along the cable route using plastic wrapping
Do not
Run cables in areas of excessive
Heat
Run cables through a door or window jams
Crimp or excessively bend the cable
Place tension on the cable
Improperly installed cable near machinery can be dangerous.

Chapter 4: Understanding the
V200s
Overview
Introduction The GNSS receiver begins tracking satellites when it powers up and is placed outside in an open area. Position and heading accuracy vary depending upon location and environment. Position performance can be improved with RTK or DGNSS.
The following sections provide the steps to configure your V200s to use
Atlas, SBAS, or RTK.
Note: Differential source and RTK status impact only positioning and heave.
There is no impact to heading, pitch, or roll.

GNSS Overview
GNSS operation The GNSS receiver is always operating, regardless of the DGNSS mode of operation. The following sections describe the general operation of the
V200s’s internal GNSS receiver.
Note: Differential source and status have no impact on heading, pitch, or roll. They only have an impact on positioning and heave.
The V200s provides accurate and reliable heading and position information at high update rates. To accomplish this task, the V200s uses a high performance GNSS receiver and two antennas for GNSS signal processing.
One antenna is designated as the primary GNSS antenna and the other is the secondary GNSS antenna. Positions computed by the V200s are referenced to the phase center of the primary GNSS antenna. Heading data references the Vector formed from the primary GNSS antenna phase center to the secondary GNSS antenna phase center.
The heading arrow located on the bottom of the V200s enclosure defines system orientation. The arrow points in the direction the heading measurement is computed (when the antenna is installed parallel to the fore-aft line of the vessel). The secondary antenna is directly above the arrow.
875-0395-10 V200s User Guide Rev A2 Page 42 of
Differential Operation
Differential
(DGNSS) operation
The V200s delivers positioning accuracies of 2.5 m 95% and provides positioning quality to better than 0.6 m 95% using differential corrections received through the internal SBAS demodulator or through Atlas L-band.
SBAS Tracking
SBAS tracking The V200s features two-channel tracking that provides an enhanced ability to maintain a lock on an SBAS satellite when more than one satellite is in view. This redundant tracking approach results in more consistent tracking of an SBAS signal in areas where signal blockage of a satellite is possible.
Atlas L-band
Atlas L-band Atlas L-band corrections are available worldwide. With Atlas, the positioning accuracy does not degrade as a function of distance to a base station, as the data content is not composed of a single base station’s information, but an entire network’s information.
The V200s can calculate a position with 30 cm RMS (horizontal) accuracy.
To configure the receiver to use Atlas L-band, a subscription must be purchased.
875-0395-10 V200s User Guide Rev A2 Page 43 of
Supplemental Sensors
Overview The V200s has a supplemental sensor integrated into the H220 GNSS board that is enabled by default. You can enable/disable the sensor.
The sensor acts to reduce the RTK search volume, which improves heading startup and reacquisition times. This improves the reliability and accuracy of selecting the correct heading solution by eliminating other possible, erroneous solutions.
The SI-TEX GNSS Technical Reference Manual describes the commands and methodology required to recalibrate, query, or change the sensor status.
Tilt aiding The V200s’ s internal sensor is factory calibrated and enabled by default and constrains the RTK heading solution beyond the volume associated with a fixed antenna separation.
The V200s knows the approximate inclination of the secondary antenna with respect to the primary antenna. The search space defined by the sensor is reduced to a horizontal ring on the sphere’s surface by reducing the search volume and decreases startup and reacquisition times (see
Figure 4-1).
Tilt angle

Supplemental Sensors
, Continued
Gyro aiding The V200s’s internal sensor reduces reacquisition times when a GNSS heading is lost due to blocked satellite signals.
The sensor provides a relative change in angle since the last computed heading and defines the search space as a wedge-shaped location (see
Figure 4-2).
Figure 4-2: V200s gyro aiding
The gyro aiding accurately smooths the heading output and the ROT. The sensor also provides an alternate source of heading, accurate to within 1º per minute for up to three minutes in times of GNSS loss for either antenna.
If the outage lasts longer than three minutes, the sensor will have drifted too far and the V200s begins outputting null fields in the heading output messages. There is no user control over the timeout period of the sensor.
The sensor initializes itself at power up and during initialization, or you can calibrate it as outlined in the SI-TEX GNSS Technical Reference Manual .
For optimal performance, when the sensor is first initializing, the dynamics the sensor experiences during this warm-up period are similar to the regular operating dynamics.
Gyro-aiding updates the post HTAU-smoothed heading. As a result, if the
HTAU value is increased while gyro aiding is enabled, there will be little to no lag in heading output due to vessel maneuvers.
The SI-TEX GNSS Technical Reference Manual includes information on setting an appropriate HTAU value for the application.
875-0395-10 V200s User Guide Rev A2 Page 45 of
Time Constants
Overview The V200s incorporates user-configurable time constants that can provide a degree of smoothing to the heading, pitch, Rate-of-Turn (ROT), Course- over-Ground (COG), and speed measurements.
You can adjust these parameters depending on the expected dynamics of the vessel. For example, increasing the time is reasonable if the vessel is very large and is not able to turn quickly or would not pitch quickly. The resulting values would have reduced “noise,” resulting in consistent values with time.
If the vessel is quick and nimble, increasing this value can create a lag in measurements.
If you are unsure on how to set this value, it is best to be conservative and leave it at the default setting.
Note: For heading and rate of turn there is no lag once the sensor is calibrated and enabled.
Formulas for determining the level of smoothing are located in the SI-
TEX GNSS Technical Reference Manual . If you are unsure how to set this value, it is best to be conservative and leave the default setting.
Heading Use the $JATT,HTAU command to adjust the level of responsiveness of the true heading measurement provided in the $GPHDT message. The default value of this constant is 0.2 seconds of smoothing when gyro-aid is enabled.
By disabling gyro-aid, the equivalent default value of the heading time constant should be 0.5 seconds of smoothing. This is not automatic, and therefore it must be manually entered.
Note: Increasing the time constant increases the level of heading smoothing and increases lag (with gyro-aid disabled).
Continued on next page
875-0395-10 V200s User Guide Rev A2 Page 46 of
Time Constants
, Continued
Pitch Use the $JATT,PTAU command to adjust the level of responsiveness of the pitch measurement provided in the $PSAT,HPR message. The default value of this constant is 0.5 seconds of smoothing.
Note: Increasing the time constant increases the level of pitch smoothing and increases lag.
Rate-of-Turn
(ROT)
Course-Over-
Ground (COG)
Use the $JATT,HRTAU command to adjust the level of responsiveness of the
ROT measurement provided in the $GPROT message. The default value of this constant is 2.0 seconds of smoothing.
Note: Increasing the time constant increases the level of ROT smoothing.
Use the $JATT,COGTAU command to adjust the level of responsiveness of the COG measurement provided in the $GPVTG message. The default value of this constant is 0.0 seconds of smoothing.
Note: Increasing the time constant increases the level of COG smoothing.
COG is computed using only the primary GNSS antenna and its accuracy depends upon the speed of the vessel (noise is proportional to 1/speed).
This value is invalid when the vessel is stationary, as tiny movements due to calculation inaccuracies are not representative of a vessel’s movement.
Speed Use the $JATT,SPDTAU command to adjust the level of responsiveness of the speed measurement provided in the $GPVTG message. The default value of this parameter is 0.0 seconds of smoothing.
Note: Increasing the time constant increases the level of speed measurement smoothing.

Powering the V200s
Power connections
For best performance, use a clean and continuous power supply.
See Table B3 for complete power specifications.
If using an unterminated cable, before powering up the V200s, you must terminate the wires of the power cable as required. There are a variety of power connectors and terminals on the market from which to choose, depending on your specific requirements. Refer to Figure 2-9 and Table 2-4 for pinout specifications.
Do not apply a voltage higher than 36 VDC. This will damage the receiver and void the warranty.
The V200s starts when sufficient voltage is applied to the power leads of the extension cable.
Electrical isolation
The V200s’s power supply is isolated from the communication lines and the
PC-ABS plastic enclosure isolates the electronics mechanically from the vessel (addressing the issue of vessel hull electrolysis).

Symptom
Receiver fails to power
Possible Solution
• Verify polarity of power leads
• Check integrity of power cable connectors
• Check power input voltage (9 to 36 VDC)
• Check the voltage coming out of the connector at the end of the cable
• Check current restrictions imposed by power source (minimum available should be > 1.0 A)
No data from V200s • Check receiver power status to ensure the receiver is powered
• Verify desired messages are activated (using
PocketMax or $JSHOW command in any terminal program)
• Ensure the baud rate of the V200s matches that of the receiving device
• Check integrity and connectivity of power and
Random data from
V200s
No GNSS lock data cable connections
• Verify the RTCM or binary messages are not output accidentally (send a $JSHOW command)
• Ensure the baud rate of the V200s matches that of the remote device
• The volume of data requested for output by the
V200s could be higher than the current baud rate supports.
• Verify the V200s has a clear view of the sky
• Use PocketMax to check how many satellites are in view and the SNR values

Symptom
No heading or incorrect heading value
Possible Solution
• Check CSEP value is constant without varying more than 1 cm (0.39 in)—larger variations may indicate a high multipath environment and require moving the receiver location
• Heading is from primary GNSS antenna to secondary GNSS antenna, so the arrow on the underside of the V200s is directed to the bow side
• $JATT,SEARCH command forces the V200s to acquire a new heading solution (unless gyro is enabled)
• Enable GYROAID to provide heading for up to three minutes during GNSS signal loss
• Enable TILTAID to reduce heading search times
• Monitor the number of satellites and SNR values for both antennas within
PocketMax—at least four satellites should have strong SNR values
• The volume of data requested for output by the V200s could be higher than the current baud rate supports.
• Verify the baud rate of the RTCM input port matches the baud rate of the external source
• Verify the pinout between the RTCM source and the RTCM input port (transmit from the source must go to receive of the RTCM input port and grounds must be connected)
No DGPS position in external RTCM mode

Command Description
$JMODE,GPSONLY,NO Multi-GNSS mode
$JRESET Reset unit’s configuration to firmware defaults
Note: $JRESET clears all parameters. For the
V200s you will have to issue the $JATT,
FLIPBRD,YES command to properly redefine the circuitry orientation inside the product once the receiver has reset. Failure to do so will cause radical heading behavior.
$JSAVE
You can also issue the $JRESET command with an optional field as follows:
• $JRESET,ALL does everything $JRESET does, plus it clears almanacs
• $JRESET,BOOT does everything $JRESET,ALL does, plus clears use of the real-time clock at startup, clears use of backed-up ephemeris and almanacs, and reboots the receiver when done

• The GP of the message is the talker ID
• You can change the message header for the HDG, HDM, HDT, and ROT messages to either GP or HE uses the $JATT,NMEAHE command
− To preface these messages with GP, issue the following command:
$JATT,NMEAHE,0<CR><LF>
− To preface these messages with HE, issue the following command:
$JATT,NMEAHE,1<CR><LF>
• GPGRS, GPGSA, GPGST, and GPGSV support external integrity checking; synchronize with corresponding fix data (GPGGA or GPGNS)
• For information on outputting roll, pitch, and heave data in one message refer to the
SI-TEX GNSS Technical Reference Manual
• HBT is sent every 30 seconds
• After 60 seconds, a heading loss warning is escalated to an alarm
• Silence timeout is 30 seconds
• THS message definition (from IEC61162-1 ed5): THS – True heading and status
• $HETHS,x.x,a*hh<CR><LF>
• x.x Heading, degrees true
• a Mode indicator (This field should not be null): A = Autonomous, E = Estimated (dead reckoning), V = Data not valid (including standby)
