Choosing a Mounting Location for the WAAS GPS-18W
Choose a location for the WAAS GPS-18W antenna that has a clear view of the sky.
Ensure that there are no major obstructions, overhanging items, or fixtures in immediate
proximity to the antenna.
Your WAAS GPS-18W antenna relies on direct “line of sight” satellite reception. If you are
unsure that the chosen location is suitable it may be advisable to mount the antenna in
a temporary manner to verify correct operation.
Installing the WAAS GPS-18W
The Nobeltec WAAS GPS-18W is designed for easy flush mounting.
TIP: This step requires a drill with 4mm and 16mm drill-bit sizes and RTV marine silicone.
1. Place the mounting template on the mounting location you have selected.
2. Following the instructions from the mounting template, drill a 0.63" (16 mm) hole
and three 0.155" (4 mm) holes in your mounting location as shown in Figure 3 .
3. Remove the template and thread the provided cable through the central hole.
4. Apply a small coat of RTV (marine silicone) to the underside of the antenna.
5. Place the antenna in the prepared location and then secure it down from
underneath using the three included M3 screws.
TIP: The 1", 14TPI thread used on the antenna is a standard thread used on many marine
industry mounting brackets and the swivel joints commonly used for angled surfaces. Be aware,
there may be some extra thread when you tighten the antenna to the mounting bracket. DO NOT BE
CONCERNED - tighten the antenna until it stops rotating on the antenna mounting bracket. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN.
