Installing Antennas
Figure 5-2. GPS Antenna Installation
To mount the GPS antenna:
To mount the antenna to any stable flat surface, use the floor flange supplied in
the GPS Antenna Kit. The mounting surface and the local building codes
determine the type and number of fasteners, screws, bolts, and so forth, that may
be required.
To mount the antenna on the side of a building or tower, use the optional right
angle mounting bracket (part number 12010210-000-0).
To secure the coaxial cable to the mast, use one or more 8-inch cable ties or
appropriate cable clamps.
Connecting the Cable to the Antenna
To connect the coaxial cable to the mounted antenna (see Figure 5-2):
1.
Loosen the four screws securing the top of the antenna in place to gain access to the
connector
.
2. Route the shorter antenna coaxial cable from the antenna through the floor
flange (in the lower half of the antenna base) to the unit.
Caution: To avoid damage to the connectors, do not use the
connectors to pull the cable. If at all possible, avoid bundling the
coaxial cable with other cables (and possible noise sources). Use
appropriate cable-pulling devices when pulling the coaxial cable
through conduit or a weather head.
