•
Keep antenna away from large metallic surfaces when possible to increase
performance.
•
Mount as far away from other antennas (especially radar and magnetic compasses) as
possible to avoid interference. See Figure 2-2 for recommendations on distance and
horizontal displacement from radar arrays.
•
Ground the antenna using a heavy ground cable (not included) from the ground
terminal on the bottom of the antenna to the vessel’s ground to protect the system from
unwanted surges and voltage differentials.
•
Use the supplied RF cable designed for VesseLINK
™
. Do not alter the provided cable
prior to installation. It is mandatory to weather seal the connection at the antenna on
permanent installations to prevent corrosion.
•
Mounting should be in an area that minimizes vessel vibration
