Choosing a Pole Bracket Mounting Location for the InSight GPS 50-W
Choose a location for the InSight GPS 50-W antenna that has a clear view of the
sky. Ensure that there are no major obstructions, overhanging items, or fixtures in
immediate proximity to the antenna.
TIP:
Your InSight GPS 50-W antenna relies on direct “line of sight” satellite
reception. If you are unsure that the chosen location is suitable it may be advisable to
mount the antenna in a temporary position to verify that it operates correctly.
The thread used on the antenna (1", 14 TPI) is an industry-standard thread used on a
wide range of mounting brackets, including swivel joints commonly used for angled
surfaces. However, due to the manufacturing process of these mounting brackets,
you may see some "give" when tightening the antenna to the bracket. This is typical,
and you should continue to tighten the antenna until the antenna is fully mounted
on the bracket.
