02 - VB3i GNSS Antenna Placement
Single Antenna Systems
The GNSS antenna supplied with the VBOX is a 5 V active antenna. For the best possible signal quality, it is important
to maintain a clean connection between the antenna and the VBOX. Before fixing the antenna to the VBOX, ensure that
there are no dust particles in either connector. Replacement antennae are available by contacting your VBOX
distributor.
The antenna is a magnetic mounting type for quick and simple mounting to the vehicle roof. For optimum GNSS signal
reception, make sure that the antenna is fitted to the highest point of the vehicle away from any obstructions that may
block satellite reception. The GNSS antenna works best with a metal ground plane underneath (a metallic vehicle roof is
perfect for this)
Please also note that when using any GNSS equipment, a clear sky view is important. Objects in the surrounding area
such as tall buildings or trees can block the GNSS signal causing a reduction in the number of satellites being tracked,
or introducing reflected signals that can decrease the accuracy of the system. Note that clouds and other atmospheric
conditions do not affect the VBOX’s performance.
