11)  Slide the C-Nav7050 back into the rack. Secure the C-Nav7050 front panel 

with the existing screws.  

  

Installation of Antennas  

Always  wear  appropriate  protective  equipment,  including  a  certified  fall 
arrestor harness and hardhat when working at heights to prevent injury to  

personnel, or death.  Prior to commencing any work on the mast, ensure 
that all radar systems are switched off and isolated.  

 

If the C-Nav7050 has either the IALA and/or the UHF option installed, it will come 
with the antennas mentioned in Figure 4 (Page 

17

).

Determining Proper Antenna Placement   

UHF  and  Beacon  antennas  may  be  placed  along  handrails  with  a  clear  view 
horizontally  as  the  UHF  and  Beacon  signals  are  land-based,  rather  than  the 
space-based GNSS and SBAS signals.   
 

Antenna Installation   

Once the antenna location has been determined based on the aforementioned 
criteria,  mount  the  antenna  onto  an  antenna-mounting  pole  via  the  antenna 
mounting pole adaptor. This should be done on deck prior to climbing the mast 
as mounting the antenna aloft poses potential risks to personnel and equipment 
due to possible dropped object hazards.
