Ship Mounting
Aurora can be installed in many
different locations on board. Make
sure that Aurora has a clear view of
the sky and there is no large
obstruction blocking its view of the
sky.
The dome must not be on the same
plane as the radar equipment. It is
best to keep it away from radar and
other RF interference for best
performance.
Physical Setup
1. Install Aurora with any standard 1” threaded antenna
mount. Aurora does not come with a standard antenna
mount due to the great variation in individual mounting
options. Standard antenna mounts can easily be found
at your local marine supply store.
2. Run Ethernet cable to your preferred power location.
Vehicle Mounting
When mounting Aurora on a vehicle,
make sure there is no large obstruction
blocking its view of the sky.
Run Ethernet into the cabin of the
vehicle and plug it into a power source.
Recommended Accessory: 12V
“cigarette plug” adapter (sold
separately).
Building Mounting
When mounting Aurora on a building,
make sure that there is no obstruction
blocking its view of the sky.
Run Ethernet cable from the dome to
your preferred powering location. Make
sure you order enough Ethernet cable to
reach. (Aurora comes with 40ft, but
additional lengths can be ordered).
Recommended Accessory: WiFi hotspot
for WiFi extension indoors (sold
separately).
