GPS (GNNS) Antenna Mounting
The GPS Antenna should be installed with a clear and unobstructed view of the sky, it
should NOT be positioned or mounted on a mast that can cause the antenna to swing and
potentially reduce the accuracy of the GPS position and it should NOT be positioned in the
direct path of a radar transmitter.
The GPS antenna can be mounted either on a flat horizontal surface or on a suitable pole
mount (not supplied).
•
If you intend to surface mount the antenna, ensure you have access to the
underside of the mounting surface.
•
If you intend to pole-mount the antenna, the mount requires a 1 inch 14 TPI
thread.
!
If the cable is passed through the center of a third party mount
ensure the thread length does not exceed 2cm (0.78”) to prevent
damage to the cable
!
DO NOT
cut the GPS Antenna cable. Neatly coil and tie any excess cable
After fixing the GPS antenna to an appropriate location, route the 10m cable to your AIS
transceiver unit, adding extension cable as necessary. Connect the cable to the GPS con-
nector on the CB2.
