Figure 8 - GSM Antenna Connection
The GPS receiver inside the Spider MT-G powers the preamplifier in the GPS antenna (Active-style) by applying a
power of 3.3 Volts to the center conductor of the RF input to the GPS receiver. If a passive-style GPS antenna must
be used, please verify that it has a DC block installed in order to prevent shortening to ground. GPS antenna
connector on the Spider MT-G model is a SMA female connector. The GPS antenna must be placed in an area
where it can have direct view of the sky.
The GPS antenna must be connected to the connector labeled “GPS ANT”. See Figure 9 - GPS
Antenna Connection.
