uAvionix recommends the use of a cable guard to protect the cable as it
enters the passenger compartment through the weather stripping of the
door or window. Contact your specific vehicle manufacturer/dealer for
recommendations designed for your make and model.
The cable is then attached to the power supply, per the guidelines in
section “Connection to Vehicle Electrical System”.
7.2 Fixed / Penetration Mounting
The Vektor has been designed to allow for permanent installation on the
surface of a vehicle and for all wiring to be introduced through the interior of
the passenger compartment.
Identify the best suited location for
the unit. To minimize unnecessary
wind loading of the unit, align the
unit to the front of the vehicle or
the primary direction of travel. In
addition, to ensure GPS accuracy
and minimize time to position
lock, the unit should have a clear
line of sight to the sky. To mitigate
reflections or blocking of 1090
MHz transmissions, the unit
should be a minimum of 12 cm
from other roof mounted
equipment such as warning lights,
and 50 cm from other radio
frequency emitting antennas.
Remove the vehicles passenger compartment roof liner and expose the
underside of the roof. Use care when disconnecting electronics such as
overhead lights and securing clips.
