Figure 11: Combo GPS/DGPS antenna (AN205-P)
Wiring the AN205-P antenna
When you use the AN205-P antenna, a cable “splitter” is required to sepa-
rate the signal path of the single cable connected at the antenna into two
cables for connection to the 951/952. For the proper installation of the
splitter, refer to Figure 12: ”Correct AN205-P (combo antenna) splitter
wiring,” below. The splitter should be located near the unit for conve-
nience, but may be situated virtually anywhere along the length of the
maximum 100 feet of RG-59 GPS cable, without appreciable signal loss.
Note, however, that the splitter isn’t weatherproof and should be placed
in a protected area where it won’t be subjected to direct water splash or
spray.
CAUTION!
The combo antenna must be used with a minimum of 20 feet
of cable, and no more than 100 feet. Any unused length must
be coiled up; do not cut it to less than 20 feet!
