Installing the
2701
2701 parts list
The 2701 includes the following parts:
• 2701 DGPS/WAAS receiver
•
10-foot data/power cable for connecting the 2701 to the
957 (both cable ends are finished)
•
AN205-P GPS/DGPS combination antenna
• 50-foot antenna cable for connecting the 2701 to the
AN205-P (both cable ends are finished)
Choosing the 2701
mounting location
The 2701 is housed in a rugged aluminum enclosure with a
mounting flange, gaskets, and watertight connectors. Though
designed to withstand the marine environment, the unit is not
completely waterproof. Protect the 2701 by installing it where
water won’t contact it directly or enter it by following data/
power or antenna cables.
Mounting the 2701
You can mount the 2701 either horizontally or vertically using
the appropriate mounting holes—see Figure 11 on the next
page.
Keyhole slots at the rear will help if you’re installing the 2701
where access is limited and it’s hard to start the mounting
screws at the obstructed end. Securely tighten all mounting
screws to avoid vibration-related problems.
