Connecting the Cables
There are four cables that need to be connected.
Figure 3.9—General cabling diagram
General considerations
The cable connecting the antenna and control unit should already be attached to
the antenna. By default these cables come in 10 meter lengths, however, longer
cables are available and are typically installed at the factory. Should the need arise
for you to replace the cable, use this section to understand how this occurs. If the
desired cable is attached to the antenna, you can skip this entire section.
1. The cabl
e connecting the Antenna and Control Unit should be run separately away from
other cables such as, radio antenna feeders, power cables, etc. Under no circumstances
should it be in parallel arrangement with other cables. These precautions are essential to
avoid radio interference to/from other equipment installed on the ship. If this is not
possible, either cable set should be screened with metal conduit or another form of
shielding.
