3. - Mount GSM/GPS Antenna
3.1. - Monitor Systems are usually supplied with a self adhesive internal
antenna It is essential that the antenna is
correctly mounted (the adhesive pad is
designed to allow mounting on either side),
the
flat surface must be towards the sky
and clear of any large metal objects (the
ridge (see red arrow) is the back/underside).
3.2. - The GPS signal will not penetrate
metal or thick fibreglass (typically it can cope with up to 15-25 mm of
fibreglass but operation must be checked prior to any permanent
fixing).
3.3. - If the system is being installed into a metal boat or under thick
f
ibreglass the external ‘Through Deck’ antenna must be used. The antenna
can be painted.
4 - Wiring
4.1. - A full wiring diagram has been supplied to the rear of this manual.
Please refer to it when wiring the Monitor Systems.
4.2. - The Monitor System Channels can be set up to operate in several
formats (e.g. as an alarm channel, a monitoring channel or a switching
channel), not all channels can do all functions. The system has a default
configuration and in most situations connecting the ancillaries to a
compatible channel is all that will be required. Table 4.2.1 shows the
default configuration. The wiring described in this section is based on a
default configuration, where options are available they will be covered
later in Advanced Set Up section.
