The 42G1215A-XT-1-3 and 42G1215A-XT-1-2 are active antennas designed to operate at the GPS L1 and L2 frequencies, 1575.42 and 1227.60 MHz and across the L-Band from 1525 to 1560 MHz. The antennas are aircraft certified for navigation. This guide provides the information needed to install and use the antenna.

•A device with an antenna input port that both receives the RF signal and provides 2.5 to 24.0 VDC to the antenna is required to set up the 42G1215A-XT-1-3 and 42G1215A-XT-1-2. (NovAtel GPS receivers provide the necessary power through their antenna RF connectors.)

•Coaxial cable with a male TNC connector

INSTALLING THE ANTENNA

Both the input DC power and the output RF signal flow over a single coaxial cable connected to the unit's TNC female connector.

The antenna is attached to a surface by means of an ARINC-743 Bolt Pattern. Four screws pass through the housing of the antenna.

Install the antenna as follows:

1.Place the o-ring into the groove on the antenna base (o-ring supplied).

User-supplied o-ring grease can be used to hold the o-ring in the groove during installation.

2.Pre-drill the mounting holes and the connector hole on the surface. Refer to the Mechanical Drawings section of this guide for details on the ARINC-743 mounting pattern.
