CU9-6081-001 USER MANUAL

Features

The CU9-6081-001 main board provide a totally integrated GPS receiver, color video LCD

controller and color fish finder (optional). The GPS receiver tracks up to 13 satellites

simultaneously. The optional fish finder presents vivid underwater images on a high quality LCD.

The main features are

• LCD display output (5.7-inch or 7-inch color LCD) with brilliance control.

• Internal GPS receiver provides highly accurate position information.

• External GPS antenna connection available.

• SD card slot accepts SD and SDHC cards for external storage of data and settings.

• CAN bus interface.

• USB 2.0 optional connection (OTG).

• Integrated WiFi module with internal antenna.

• External WIFI antenna connection available. Only one WIFI antenna works at time (internal or

external) due to integrated antenna switch.

• SPI keyboard connector.

• 2Gbyte NAND memory.

• 512Mbyte DDR memory.

• 10-32VDC power supply.

LCD display connector

The main board has two LCD connectors P401 as standard and P400 as option.

The P401 connector is for 7" LCFAX060-10-070006 CIVUE LCD display (or equivalent). In this

case the connection between the LCD and the man board uses an 40 pin pitch 0.5 FCC cable.

The P400 connector is for 5.7" FAX060-10-057002 CIVUE LCD display (or equivalent). In this case

the connection between the LCD and the man board uses an 33 pin pitch 0.5 FCC cable.

GPS receiver

The GPS receiver is based on the NEO-6Q UBLOX module.

An internal active antenna can be used connected to P60 connector, while the external active

antenna can be connected to the P601 connector.

If an external antenna is connected, an integrated antenna switch disconnects the internal antenna

and connects the external one.

Remember to put the internal antenna not very close to the mainboard to improve the GPS signal

receiver quality.

SD card and USB connector

Connecting the BKE69 interface to the P51 connector it is possible to have the SD card and USB

connections.

SD card slot accepts SD and SDHC cards.

The USB connector uses the micro USB device standard (OTG as option).

CAN BUS interface

The CAN bus interface complies with the NMEA-2000 standard.

On this interface you can connect GPS Receiver, Weather Station, FI-50 (instrument series),

Satellite Compass, etc.

WIFI Interface The circuit is a full featured WiFi 802.11b/g/n single system module based that includes support for IEEEn 802.11i security and IEEE 802.11e QoS. It integrates the WiFi technology into the system making possible data exchange with WiFi Access Points and Hot Spots. For detailed specification of the WIFI module used, please refer to the APM6981 data-sheet. The internal antenna has to be connected to P911 MHF connector. The internal antenna gain is 5dBi.

Installation Note The mechanical installation of the module is made using the 3 holes that are present on the E43 main board. Also the 3 connector P912, P601 and P740 have been to fixed using the proper nuts and gaskets. The internal GPS antenna, if it is used, has to be located as far as of the main board. This to have better S/N ratio of the GPS signal reception. The internal WIFI antenna has to be connected to the P911 MHF connector.
