Antenna Position 

The rapidCAST system includes two types of antenna. The size of the vessel will determine which antenna 

to use. 
Omni Antenna – Use this antenna when the distance between the Interface Module and Control Mod-

ule is less than 10 meters. See Figure 15 for cable connections.  
The antenna is Omni directional (the best reception is around the antenna in a doughnut shape; do not 

orientate the antenna by pointing the tip of the antenna at the probe).

Omni Antenna 

Patch Antenna – Use this antenna when the distance between the Interface Module and Control Mod-

ule is over 10 meters. See Figure 14 for cable connections.  
Orientate the antenna as shown in Figure 17. The best reception is when the probe is in the center of the 

approximately 30 degree cone.
