If a noticeable decrease in sensitivity (resulting in weak signal strengths)
and/or very few satellites being tracked is noted, try repositioning the anten-
nas to improve the satellite reception.
Mount the antenna at the desired location. Connect the supplied cable to the antenna.
Take appropriate lightning precautions as necessary. The GNSS antenna must be mounted
such that the antenna points to the sky, i.e. the connector side pointing down.
Note: Spectracom recommends applying an appropriate silicon grease to
the cable connection at the GNSS antenna in order to protect the con-
nection from moisture. An additional weatherproofing kit (P/N 221213)
containing butyl rubber and plastic tape is also available from Andrews Cor-
poration, USA, phone +1.800.255.1479.
5.5 Maintenance and Service
We recommend to clean the front bezel filter regularly:
Remove the front bezel by unlocking it with the key, then pressing the red release
knob, then removing the bezel with both hands. While the bezel is removed, check if
the filter requires cleaning.
It is recommended that you keep a maintenance log of filter cleaning/replacement, since
its condition will affect the airflow throughout the whole system.
Note: When using a cabinet-style rack, close the cabinet doors after com-
pletion of the maintenance work, to maintain proper cooling.
5.6 Product Registration
Spectracom recommends that you register your VelaSync so as to allow our Customer Ser-
vice and Technical Support to notify you of important software updates, or send you ser-
vice bulletins, if required.
