6.1 Antenna installation
In order to receive GPS signals from the satellites orbiting the earth a GPS antenna must be used.

The antenna is mounted on a console for mounting on a horizontal or vertical flat surface or on
an antenna mast.
Mount the antenna and console clear of flat surfaces such as buildings walls, roofs and windows
to avoid signal reflections. If necessary, protect the antenna from animals and birds which can
affect signal strength. Also protect the antenna against lightning.
