●
The GNSS antenna should be located where it has a clear,
unobstructed view of the sky overhead.
●
The GNSS antenna should be mounted as high as possible, however
it is not recommended to mount the antenna on the top of a high mast
where the motion of the vessel will cause the antenna to move and
potentially reduce the accuracy of the GNSS position.
●
Route the GNSS antenna cable to the AIS transceiver. If extension
cables are required all junctions should be made using appropriate
co-axial connectors and made watertight.
Connect the GNSS antenna cable to the GNSS connector on the AIS
transceiver.

GNSS Antenna location
GNSS Antenna should be at least 5m (16ft)
from radar or satellite communication

the radar beam path and mounted
on a rigid surface.
