Installation of Antenna System ANTIGUA
The antenna system ANTIGUA consists of the antennas DELTA 163S and DELTA 12 M, which are
mounted together building a unity.
Antenna position:
The antenna system ANTIGUA should be mounted at the mast-head. No other antennas should be
mounted above the antenna system.
Antenna cable:
For the antenna system ANTIGUA coaxial cables with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohm are
used, preferably Aircell-7 or Belden H2000 Flex. A BNC-plug is used to connect the DELTA 163S, and
an N-plug is used to connect the DELTA 12 M. Important: Keep the plugs strain-relieved! Optional
disconnecting points at the mast-heel are established with BNC- and N-connectors to avoid mix-up.
ATTENTION! UHF connectors (PL-connectors) may NOT be used for the disconnecting points!
Keep the antenna cables to the distribution box AV 112 and to the VHF radio as short as possible.
Check the antenna cables for short circuit before connecting them!
Assembling the antennas:
Pull the antenna cable with BNC-plug through the tube of the antenna holder AH 12, through the hole
of the DELTA 12 M and connect it to the adapter of the DELTA 163S. Pull the antenna cable with N-
plug through the hole of the antenna holder AH 12 and connect it to the DELTA 12 M. Finally put
together the antennas and screw them to the antenna holders.
Important: All metal parts of the antennas as well as the connectors must not have electrical
contact to other metal parts of the ship because the shield of the cable is connected to the
negative element of the power supply.
Installation of the AV 112:
Install the distribution box AV 112 below deck near the instruments connected. Open the AV 112 box
to mount it. For that purpose pull off the cover by carefully drawing the corners alternately. Fix the AV
112 box using 2 screws of about 3 mm diameter (see overleaf). Thereafter press the cover to the
bottom part until it snaps in.
Power supply:
Important: Do not switch on the power supply before the installation is completed!
Use a switch or cutout of the switch board for the power supply to switch off the AV 112 if no
radio or TV is to be received.
Connect the power supply connector to the ship’s power supply of 12 V or 24 V using a cable
of 2 × 0.5 to 1.5 mm² (positive wire next to the fuse; negative wire next to the LED - see overleaf).
The power supply to the antenna system need not be switched on for the operation of the VHF
marine telephone.
The antenna cables may NEVER be mixed up - otherwise the antenna DELTA 12 M and / or the
distribution box AV 112 will be destroyed!
To guarantee a perfect working antenna it is mandatory to do the installation in a workman-like
manner.
Any faults caused from neglecting these instructions are excluded from the manufacturer's
warranty.
