Antenna Location
Antenna positioning is critical to system performance.
The following conditions must be met for optimum system performance:
1. Antenna must be mounted at least 1.5 metres away from transmitting
antennas of any frequency. Closer positioning may cause overloading of
receiver RF circuits.
2. The antenna should be mounted at the highest practical point that will
give a good view of the horizon and be as near level as possible.
3. The antenna must be located along the vehicle centre-line, or at a
relevant reference point on the vehicle.
4. The antenna should not be mounted in a location where it can easily be
damaged during normal operation.
Power Supply Requirements
The 8200HP can be powered by a vehicle or by a customer-supplied power
source of 10-32 VDC, capable of delivering at least 5W continuous output
power. For continued protection against the risk of fire, the power lead to the
8200HP receiver should be provided with a 10 A (maximum) fuse.
Warning: Before powering the receiver, make sure the antenna
cable and antenna are connected and the power/data
cable is connected and secured. Connecting or
disconnecting an antenna or antenna cable when the
receiver is already powered may permanently damage the
receiver’s antenna port or the antenna itself, voiding your
warranty. Connecting or disconnecting the power/data
cable to/from the receiver when the cable is already
powered may result in increased wear or an early failure of
the power/data connector.
Warning: If the voltage supplied is below the minimum specification,
the receiver will suspend operation. If the voltage supplied
is above the maximum specification, the receiver may be
permanently damaged, voiding your warranty.
