1. Installing your Spider 6
Spider’s antenna needs a good view of the sky.
1.1. Positioning the Spider 6
We recommend placing the Spider 6 on top of the instrument panel in the aircraft. The Spider
needs a clear view of the sky. Spiders have two antenna; one GPS and one Iridium. The GPS
antenna is able to receive GPS information at any angle, as long as it is not obstructed by
metal (such as the bracket). The Iridium antenna however, only receives and transmits data at
an angle of approximately 170 degrees up from the top of the Spider. If you cannot physically
see the sky from where the Spider is placed, the Spider will not be able to either. The top of
the Spider should point upward. Please note, the Spider is not able to send or receive data
through metal, carbon composites, or electrically heated windshields. The Spider is able to
send data through glass, fibre glass, or plastic. Please see installation examples on our
support website.
The Spider is not subject to Specific Absorption Rate testing, however we recommend placing
it no less than 200mm from a person.
Secure the Spider to the dashboard with the bracket supplied. The Spider can be quickly
removed from the mount when required.
