9.2Installation of Antenna Unit

Mounting considerations

Install the antenna unit referring to the antenna installation diagram at the end of this manual. When choosing a mounting location for the antenna unit, keep in mind the following points:

•Do not shorten the antenna cable.

•The antenna unit can be installed three ways: screwed into a pipe (local supply), fixed to a post with the optional mast mounting kit, or screwed into an optional mounting base. For fixing by post or pipe, it is recommended to use stays to secure the post or pipe to prevent damage to the GPS receiver by vibration.

•Choose a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent reception of the GPS signal.

•The location should be well away from a VHF/UHF antenna. A GPS receiver is interfered by a harmonic wave of a VHF/UHF antenna.

•There should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to the satellites. Objects within line-of-sight to a satellite, for example, a mast, may block reception or prolong acquisition time.

•Mount the antenna unit as high as possible to keep it free of interfering objects and water spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite signal if the water freezes.

•See the outline drawing for the antenna unit at the back of this manual for minimum separation distances from other antennas.

•If the antenna cable is to be passed through a hole which is not large enough to pass the connector, you may unfasten the connector with a needle nose pliers and 3/8-inch open-end wrench. Refasten it as shown below, after running the cable through the hole.
