New FS700 Antenna Installation Instructions:
The new style PVC base LORAN-C antenna used with the FS700 LORAN Receiver comes with a 6"
galvanized pipe nipple and 2 U-bolt clamps for mounting. After securing galvanized pipe with U-bolts,
the antenna base can be screwed onto the pipe nipple and the BNC connector can be connected to
the lead-in cable. The piece of supplied special heat shrink tubing should be applied over the cable
connection and heated with a heat gun or other heat source to weatherproof the connection.
The new antenna does not have an internal attenuator as with the old style antennas. If excessive
signal strength is encountered, consult the factory.
!!NOTE ON GROUNDING AND LIGHTNING PROTECTION!!
All metal antenna attachments should always be connected to a good earth ground. In areas where
lightning is encountered, a lightning arrester(s) should be used in the antenna lead-in cable.
