4.3.3 Installing the GPS antenna
The Oceansat AIS transceiver includes an internal GPS receiver for time synchronisation. An independent
GPS antenna is required for this receiver in addition to any GPS equipment already installed on board.
For mounting of the GPS antenna supplied with your AIS transceiver you will require a one inch 14 TPI pole
mount. Contact your dealer to source a mount suitable for the installation location.
Please note the following guidelines when selecting a location for the GPS antenna:
● The GPS antenna mount should be secured to a rigid surface.
● The GPS antenna should be located where it has a clear, unobstructed view of the sky overhead.
● The GPS antenna should be mounted as high as possible, however it is not recommend the antenna
is mounted on a top of a high mast where the motion of the vessel will cause the antenna to swing
and potentially reduce the accuracy of the GPS position. See Figure 37 for guidance.
