Antenna Mounting

1.

Mount the antenna at a minimum distance of 50 cm
from other antennas to a vertical pole with an outer
diameter from 60 mm to 215 mm (2

inch) with

the mounting kit included in the scope of delivery.

Now connect the antenna cable to the N-Norm con-
nector of the antenna.

GNSS Antenna

N-Norm (female)

N-Norm (male)

Free view to the sky! 

Make sure that the maximum cable length is kept when installing the antenna

cable between the antenna and receiver.

This depends on the type of cable

used (H155, RG58) and its damping factor.

2.

High voltage peaks (e.g. caused by lightning strikes)
can be transmitted via the antenna cable and may
cause damage to the receiver. The receiver is pro-
tected against these effects by using the MBG S-PRO
surge protection.

Being installed in a waterproof housing, the MBG
S-PRO is also suitable for outdoor installation. Mein-
berg recommends the indoor installation, as soon as
possible after the antenna cable enters the building to
minimize the risk of overvoltage damage, e.g. due to
lightning strikes.
