Figure 7 GPS antenna mounting
To surface mount the external GPS antenna, select a flat clean sur-
face area that has a clear view of the sky. Mount the antenna using
the supplied gasket and the 2 small screws.
• Mark and drill the 2 mounting holes and a further hole if necessary
for the GPS cable.
• Install the gasket by firstly threading the attached cable through the
center of the gasket.
• Screw the GPS antenna to the mounting surface.
• Route the cable to your AIS transceiver unit, adding any necessary
extension cables.
• Connect the cable from the GPS antenna to the GPS connector on
the AIS transceiver as shown in Figure 8.
¼ Note: Ensure the surface mounting area is clean with no dirt, old
paint or debris.
