4015 MARINE AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER
Transceiver and Tuner Mounting
1.
Select a suitable position in the vessel to mount the transceiver. It should be
a position that is out of the weather and easily accessible to the operator,
whilst as close as practical to the 13.8 V DC power source.
2.
Mount the transceiver to a solid fixing point using the mounting cradle.
Make sure there is sufficient space at the rear of the transceiver to connect
the power and antenna cables.
NOTES:
• The antenna tuner should be mounted as close to the antenna feed point as
possible. In metal vessels the length of the feeder from the antenna tuner
to the feed-through insulator, inside the vessel, should be kept less than 1
metre.
• The antenna feed cable should be a suitable high voltage cable. Care should
be taken to avoid sharp points when terminating the cable to prevent
corona discharges.
• The interconnect cable supplied with the antenna tuner should be routed
away from other cables back to the transceiver and connected as indicated
