Step 2 - Installing the GPS antenna
For mounting of the GPS antenna provided with your Mariner X2
you will require a one inch 14 TPI thread pole.
You should ensure the GPS antenna has a good clear view of the
entire sky.
It is not recommended that the GPS antenna is mounted up a mast
w
here the the motion of the vessel will cause the antenna to swing
and potentially reduce the accuracy of the GPS position.
Do not mount your antenna in the direct path of a radar transmitter.
Feed the ten metre long cable attached to the GPS antenna cable
th
rough the pole and screw the antenna onto the pole mount as
shown in Figure 7.
Route the cable to your Mariner X2 unit, adding any necessary
ex
tension cables.
Connect the cable from the GPS antenna to the GPS connector on
t
he Mariner X2 as shown in Figure 8.
