Installation Instructions
SW3-567 - v2
1. Introduction
The GPSCO Series is a range of internal mount LTE/Cellular, dual band WIFI and GPS/GNSS antennas. The standard GPS/GNSS LNA gain is 26dB.
2. Mounting Requirements and Selecting Location
The GPSCO antenna is designed to be fitted on or under a vehicle dashboard, located as far forward as possible to optimise view to the sky. When fitting
under the panel, a position should be selected to ensure there is no metal close to the antenna inside the panel.
The optimum orientation for the antenna is to be fitted flat with the UP side facing towards the sky.
It can also fitted on or under any other non-metallic panel in a position that allows adequate view of the sky to enable satellite acquisition.
The antenna can be fitted to a vehicle window, but it is important to note that GPS/GNSS performance will be reduced on a window that has a small angle
of incline or is vertical. The UP side must be facing the outside of the window.
Note that the antenna should not be fitted to a fine wire mesh type heated window or heat reflective type glass
The antenna location should ensure that the front curved face of the antenna is a minimum 10cm (2”) away from any metal structure.
The antenna must not be fitted adjacent to or in near proximity of one of the vehicle electronic control units (ECU).
3. Mounting the Antenna
Note:
It is recommended that the installation is carried out when the temperature is over 50°F (10°C) as the ideal temperature for the adhesive pad bonding
is 70°F (21°C)to 100°F (37°C).
Before fitting, ensure that both the antenna face and mounting surface are clean and free of grease – use the supplied alcohol swab and allow the cleaned
surfaces to dry before fitting the adhesive pad.(on the correct side, to ensure the UP side is facing the sky) and apply adequate pressure to adhere.
Remove the protective backing from the antenna pad, position the antenna and apply adequate pressure to ensure that it has adhered correctly.
