9.2 Installation of Antenna
Unit
Mounting considerations
Install the antenna unit referring to the
antenna installation diagram at the end of this
manual. When choosing a mounting location
for the antenna unit, keep in mind the
following points:
Do not shorten the antenna cable.
The antenna unit can be installed three
ways: screwed into a pipe (local supply),
fixed to a post with the optional mast
mounting kit, or screwed into an optional
mounting base. For fixing by post or pipe, it
is recommended to use stays to secure the
post or pipe to prevent damage to the GPS
receiver by vibration.
Choose a location out of the radar beam.
The radar beam will obstruct or prevent
reception of the GPS signal.
The location should be well away from a
VHF/UHF antenna. A GPS receiver is
interfered by a harmonic wave of a
VHF/UHF antenna.
There should be no interfering object within
the line-of-sight to the satellites. Objects
within line-of-sight to a satellite, for
example, a mast, may block reception or
prolong acquisition time.
Mount the antenna unit as high as possible
to keep it free of interfering objects and
water spray, which can interrupt reception
of GPS satellite signal if the water freezes.
See the outline drawing for the antenna
unit at the back of this manual for minimum
separation distances from other antennas.
If the antenna cable is to be passed
through a hole which is not large enough to
pass the connector, you may unfasten the
connector with a needle nose pliers and
3/8-inch open-end wrench. Refasten it as
shown below, after running the cable
through the hole.
