1. INSTALLATION
3
Installation with radio equipment
• Install the antenna unit away from radio antennas (SSB, VHF, Inmarsat) and GPS
antenna.
• Install the antenna unit away from radio receivers to prevent electromagnetic inter-
ference to the radio.
Cabling
• To prevent noise, do not lay the cables of this unit near or in parallel with the power
cables of other electronic devices.
• When laying the cable of the antenna unit in parallel with the cables of radio equip-
ment, use the cable supplied with the EMC Modification Kit and separate all cables
at least 1.5 m from one another.
• Be sure that the power/LAN cable and cable assembly are not run parallel to each
other. Also, locate those cables well away from other signal cables and antennas.
Installation on large vessels
• The antenna unit cable comes in lengths of 10, 15 and 20 m (30 m optionally avail-
able). Consider the length of the cable when selecting a mounting location.
• Keep the unit away from smoke and exhaust stacks. Hot air affects antenna perfor-
mance. Hot air can also damage the unit. The temperature at the mounting location
should not exceed 55°C (131°F).

lation.
