8 Installation of the GPS Antenna
Mounting the Antenna
1.
Use the included mounting kit to mount the antenna
at a distance of 50 cm from other antennas, either on
a vertical pole of a diameter of no more than 60 mm,
or directly onto a wall.
The antenna cable should then be connected to the
Type-N connector of the antenna. Feed the other end
of the cable into the building through the wall.

Note:
Make sure that the maximum cable length is not exceeded when installing the antenna cable
between the antenna and receiver. The maximum length will depend on the type of cable
used (RG213, RG58) and its attenuation factor.
2.
Voltage surges (e.g., caused by lightning strike) may
be transmitted along the antenna cable and cause
damage to the receiver. Using a MBG S-PRO surge
protector can help to protect your receiver against such
surges.
If installed in a waterproof housing, the MBG S-
PRO can be installed outdoors. However, Meinberg
recommends installing the surge protector indoors—as
closely to the entrance point of the antenna cable as
possible—in order to minimize the risk of surge dam-
age (such as that caused by lightning strike).
Connect the other end of the antenna cable to the
female connector of the surge protector.
