Vecima 66xxH Beacon Family
Antenna Configuration
The 66xxH beacons have a combined GPS/cell network
antenna module. The 6600H and 6650H models use an
external antenna attached with FAKRA connectors, while
the 6601H and 6651H are equipped with an internal
antenna housed within the beacon.
For either configuration, the antenna must be positioned
in the vehicle so that it has a clear signal path to as much
of the sky as possible, without metal obstruction. For
internal antennas, the beacon itself must be positioned
properly for good signal reception.
