5. INSTALLATION
Before proceeding with the installation, please
respect the following guidelines:
- please remember that the best position for the
satellite TV antenna is in the middle of the boat,
in the lowest possible position.
- minimize obstruction. The antenna requires a
clear view of the sky in order to receive satellite
TV signals. The fewer the obstacles, the better
the system operation.
Any foreign body (flags, antennas, radar
antennas, sailboat masts, cranes, bridges, etc.)
between the antenna and the satellite obstructs
the signal and prevents correct receipt.
- make sure that the mounting surface is wide
enough for the antenna base to be installed.
- make sure that the mounting surface is resistant
and rigid enough to support the weight of the
antenna and the vibrations which could occur.
- do not install the antenna near speakers or
magnetic sources. In case it is not possible, it is
necessary to compensate the magnetic source,
paying attention not to interfere with the on-board
compass.
- the antenna requires a lifting angle between 5°
and 90° to receive satellite signals (Fig. 3).
