GPS ANTENNA
!
The WatchMate requires a GPS fix before it can transmit its position.
External (optional)
If you are mounting the WatchMate in a location which will not
provide adequate GPS signal coverage, then you must install
a dedicated GPS antenna.
• The GPS antenna should be situated so that it has an unobstructed
view of the sky above.
• Do not place the GPS antenna near or in the path of radar
or HF antennas.
• The antenna cable is terminated with a TNC connector. Do not
cut the cable unless you have the proper tools to crimp a new
connector. Make the connection to your AIS transponder last after
antenna installation is complete.
CAUTION: The Vesper Marine GPS antenna is designed specifically
for use with the WatchMate Transponder. Performance cannot be
assured unless you use a Vesper Marine GPS antenna. Use of
a different antenna may damage the device and void your warranty.
Internal GPS
antenna location
Internal
The WatchMate has a built-in GPS patch antenna.
• This antenna requires an unobstructed
view of the sky.
• The antenna performance may be
significantly reduced if the WatchMate
is installed on, under, or near large
metal structures.
• The antenna faces upwards and is
located as shown.
• For faster fix times, switch the unit off but
keep power connected to the unit.
HINT: Use the GPS Status screen to view
satellite signal strengths which will assist
in determining the best location for the
WatchMate or the external GPS antenna.
