Nera F77
Continuing the Saturn tradition
Avoiding interference
Do not locate the antenna close to interfering signal sources, or
in such a position that the source (e.g. radar-antenna) radiates
directly into the Saturn antenna.
The Above Deck Equipment (ADE) should be separated as far
as possible from other transmitters, and preferably by at least
5 m from the antenna of other communication or navigation
equipment, such as the antenna of the satellite navigator, the
VHF antenna or radar equipment.
Compass safe distance
For installation on British or Norwegian vessels, the antenna
should be located at a distance of at least 1.0 metres from the
magnetic steering compass. Be aware that requirements may
vary from one country to another.
Other precautions
Do not place the antenna close to the funnel, as smoke depos-
its will then eventually degrade antenna performance.
The antenna should be installed so that severe vibration and
shock are avoided.
If installed on top of a signal and radar mast, the mast must be
supported by stays.
