Fig. 14.31 Recommended GPS antenna positions

BEST mounting position with best possible reception of GPS signals.
This mounting position pr
ovides direct view to the sky. The view is not hindered
byanyobjectsandtheGPSsignalsarenotinuencedbyanyreections.

POSSIBLE
mountingpositiononpoleprovidingsucientreceptionofGPSsig-
nals under most conditions.
This mounting position provides direct view to the sky in a range nearly 180°. The
viewisonlypartlyhinderedandthereisnegligibledangerofreectionsthatcould
inuencetheGPSsignals.

BAD mounting position. Do not use!
This mounting position pr
ovides direct view to the sky for a range only 90° Half
the sky is blocked by the taller part of the building and the reception of GPS
signalswillbeconsiderablyinuencedbyreections.TheOTMC 100 will not work
properly!

NOT RECOMMENDED mounting position. Only use if no other mounting position
is a
vailable.
This mounting position provides direct view to the sky for a range more than 90°
but much less than 180°. The view to the left is hindered by the taller part of the
buildingandthereisanincreaseddangerofreectionsthatcouldinuencethe
GPS signals.
