Sešu kameru Surround View sistēma

The GSV™ 10 unit is the core of the system and manages all connections:

Camera connections: Each GC™ 40/50 camera connects to the GSV 10 unit via a single coaxial cable supplied by Garmin. This cable provides both power (12 to 24 Vdc) to the camera and transmits the video stream to the unit.Connection to the network: The GSV 10 unit connects to a compatible Garmin chartplotter via a Garmin BlueNet™ cable. This connection is how video information is sent to compatible devices on your marine network.The GSV 10’s NMEA 2000, J1939, and USB ports are not used for this system.

The Surround View system cameras are typically installed at specific locations around the vessel to ensure 360° coverage. Common mounting positions are:

Bow (CAMERA 1)Starboard bow (CAMERA 2)Starboard quarter (CAMERA 3)Stern (CAMERA 4)Port quarter (CAMERA 5)Port bow (CAMERA 6)It is important to note that the exact mounting location for each camera must be determined in collaboration with Garmin engineering to optimize system performance for your specific vessel model.

The Garmin Surround View system is an advanced peripheral vision solution designed to provide a complete 360° view around the vessel. This system integrates six external cameras connected to a central GSV™ 10 unit, delivering detailed video information to compatible devices on the Garmin marine network. It significantly assists during complex manoeuvres by enhancing spatial awareness.

The Garmin Surround View system includes the following main components:

A central black GSV™ 10 unit (P/N: A04060) that aggregates video feeds.Six external cameras, which can be a combination of flush-mount GC™ 50 cameras and/or surface-mount GC™ 40 cameras (P/N: B04060 for both).Six dedicated coaxial cables to connect each camera to the GSV 10 unit.One Garmin BlueNet™ cable to connect the GSV 10 unit to a compatible Garmin chartplotter.Power cables.

The GSV™ 10 black box (P/N: A04060) is the core of the Surround View system. It centralizes video streams from the six external cameras, provides power to the cameras via coaxial cables, and transmits video data to compatible Garmin chartplotters via the Garmin BlueNet™ network.

The GC™ 50 camera is a flush-mount camera, whereas the GC™ 40 is a surface-mount camera. The Surround View system can use any combination of these two camera types to reach the required total of six cameras. The GC 50 supports internal coaxial cable routing only, while the GC 40 supports internal or external routing.

No, the NMEA 2000, J1939 and USB ports of the GSV™ 10 unit are not used for the Surround View system operation. The unit connects to a compatible Garmin chartplotter via a Garmin BlueNet™ cable.

The Surround View system is compatible with Garmin chartplotters that support Garmin BlueNet™ network technology. For optimal performance, it must be connected to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or a Garmin BlueNet 20 switch.

Yes, the Surround View system is compatible with Garmin Marine Network devices. If your boat is equipped solely with Garmin Marine Network devices, you will need to use a Garmin Marine Network adapter cable (part number 010-12531-01) to connect the GSV™ 10 box to your network. If you are using a Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway, it is recommended to connect the GSV 10 to the BlueNet side of the network for optimal performance.

Yes, the Surround View system requires a 12 to 24 Vdc power source. The GSV™ 10 unit is connected to this power source via the included power cable. The cameras are powered by the GSV 10 unit via the coaxial cables.

Yes, installing the Surround View system is a technical process that requires careful planning. It is highly recommended to involve Garmin engineering in the installation planning for each vessel model to determine camera and black box mounting locations, as well as required supplies.

For general installation, you will need a drill, an 8 mm (5/16 in) SMA torque wrench capable of tightening to 9 kgf-cm (8 lbf-in), an 8 mm (5/16 in) wrench, a Phillips #2 screwdriver, and marine adhesive sealant such as 3M™ Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200 or equivalent. Additional specific tools are required for each camera type (hole saws, drill bits, TORX screwdrivers).

Yes, before installing and calibrating the system, the vessel must be prepared in dry dock with adequate space around it. You need to allow at least 2 meters (6.5 feet) of space on all sides of the vessel and use an area with a level floor to ensure each calibration target is at the same height.

It is crucial that the vessel’s intended waterline be level before installation and calibration of the system. You can use one or more horizontal laser levels to quickly level the intended waterline. If the vessel is moved after levelling, you must level it again before any further installation or calibration.

No, you must not cut, terminate, or splice the coaxial cables unless instructed to do so by your Garmin representative. Modifying the coaxial cables or using connectors other than those provided by Garmin may cause system malfunction and void your warranty.

Cameras are typically installed at specific locations around the vessel: at the bow (CAMERA 1), forward starboard (CAMERA 2), aft starboard (CAMERA 3), stern (CAMERA 4), aft port (CAMERA 5), and forward port (CAMERA 6). The exact mounting location for each camera will be determined in collaboration with Garmin engineering.

The GSV™ 10 housing must be mounted in a location that will not be submerged and has adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup. It must also be mounted at least 2.54 cm (1 inch) away from cables and other potential sources of interference, and in a position that allows room for routing and connecting all cables.

The Surround View system warranty may be voided if:

You do not use the cables and connectors supplied by Garmin during installation.You connect the power cable without the appropriate fuse in place.Failures are caused by improperly tightened SMA connectors.The device sustains damage from extreme temperatures.

No, damages caused by extreme temperatures and their consequences are not covered by the warranty. The device must be installed in a location not exposed to extreme temperatures or conditions, and the device's specified temperature range must be respected.
