2.2.5 GPS Antennas Installation
The GPS antenna must be installed where it has a clear view of the sky, so that it accesses the
horizon freely through 360°, with a vertical observation of 5 to 90 degrees above the horizon as
illustrated in Figure 2-2-5.
GPS ANTENNA LOCATION
Enter the external and internal GPS antenna location data after installing them. Input the data in
“SHIP SETTING”. Following is the GPS antenna location offset arm.
Figure 2-2-5 GPS Antenna location
We recommend you choose AMEC AIS GPS antenna. To save space, you can also choose
VHF/GPS combo antenna provided by AMEC.
2.2.6 Antenna Cabling
When connecting the cable(s) with the CAMINO-101, take note of the following precautions.
Each coaxial cable should be
set up separately and can only
be set up in a single cable tube.
Each coaxial cable should
keep a 10m safe distance
with the power cable.
Connecting port of the
coaxial cable should be
insulated.
Do not bend the cable(s).
