4. Raystar 114 Installation
The Raystar 114 is designed to receive the signals emitted from the
satellites in a direct path. Ideally, the unit should be mounted upright in
a location that is open and clear of any masts, search lights, or other
structures that could block the line-of-sight reception of the antenna
unit. The height of the receiver is not as important as the receiver having
a clear view horizon to horizon for optimum signal reception. In fact,
the lower the unit can be mounted and have a clear view to satellites, the
better. The more stable the internal GPS antenna, the easier it is to track
satellites lower to the horizon.
Installation of the Raystar 114 should only be undertaken by a
competent installer.
D1340-2
The unit should be separated by at least 7ft (2m) from other
communication antennas and should not be mounted in the direct path
of a Radar’s antenna beam.
While planning the location for the unit, consider finding a convenient
pathway for running the interconnecting cable which will connect the
receiver to the GPS display unit or to the rest of an integrated system.
