Antenna Installation
1. Once the antenna location has been determined based on the previously mentioned
criteria, mount the antenna onto the antenna mounting pole
. This should be done on
deck prior to climbing the mast as mounting the antenna aloft poses potential risks to
personnel and equipment due to possible dropped object hazards. (Note: C-Nav2050 &
C-Nav3050 Antennas require an Antenna Mounting Adaptor, supplied).
The threads of all antenna mounting poles are 1”-14 in size
2. Install the antenna with the antenna mounting pole in the predetermined location. The
pipe can either be welded to the mast for a more permanent installation, or secured
using stainless steel hose clamps. In the figure below, hose clamps have been used.

3. Use a level to ensure that the antenna is mounted vertically.
