GPS SPEEDOMETER INSTALLATION

Antenna Placement

If you are using the supplied antenna, find a mounting location that will maintain an

 

unobstructed view of 

the satellites. 

Hidden installation of the antenna is possible and can be determined by temporarily mounting

 

the 

antenna in the desired location and checking the signal. 

Due to the differences in dash or deck thickness and materials, results are difficult to predict.

 

The signals 

will not pass through metal, but may pass through glass and plexi windshields. 

Additionally, try to keep the antenna away from any aluminum or stainless frames.

1.

Once a location is chosen, drill a 3/8" (9.5 mm) opening in the mounting panel.

2.

Slide the antenna cable in to the opening and secure the antenna with a screw or double

 

sided tape.

If you are using an alternative antenna, make certain that its NMEA

 

0183 and that the wiring is

compatible with the gauge.
