 R6 Navigation System
System interconnection overview
Basic system setup
There are numerous ways to install the system using the redundant network interfaces of the R5
Navigation Sensor and the R6 CDU. Below is a simple system setup without interface to external
networks. External sensors and systems shall in this case be connected to the R5 Navigation
Sensor’s serial interfaces.

Figure 3-1 – System overview

Installation Procedure
When installing the R6 Navigation System it is recommended to follow the steps described in this
installation manual. Details of the installation procedure can be found in the coming sections of the
manual.
Recommended installation steps:
1. Mount the R6 CDU at conning station
2. Mount the R5 Navigation Sensor
3. Mount the GNSS/DGNSS antenna
4. Unmount the R5 Navigation Sensor lid
5. Connect the R5 Navigation Sensor’s Power Input to an external 12/24 Volt power source (Cable
not supplied by Saab AB (publ) TransponderTech)
6. Connect the R6 CDU’s R5 Power Cable to the R5 Navigation Sensor’s CDU Power port
7. Connect the R6 CDU to the R5 Navigation Sensor by using a R5 Ethernet Cable
8. Connect a GNSS Antenna to the R5 Navigation Sensor by a GNSS Antenna Cable
9. Connect external systems via the internal serial (RS-422) in- and output terminals, optionally
connect Alert Relay signal to bridge alert
