Alternate Method of Providing Power to the Antenna Unit
(Optional)
For single-switch convenience, the ADCU has been designed to
serve as a junction box between ship's power and the antenna
unit. However, the antenna unit can be connected to a separate
switch and breaker if it is more convenient or if the ADCU is
placed more than 15 m (50 ft) from the antenna unit.
If there is a need to extend the antenna unit-to-ship's power
cable, refer to the following tips:
• The antenna unit's power cable connector cannot
accept cables larger than 14 AWG (1.5 mm
• If the cable is longer than 15 m (50 ft), be sure to
verify the voltage at the antenna to ensure that
there is sufficient power to drive the antenna
under load (11-16 VDC). If not, carefully increase
the voltage to the antenna unit to compensate for
any drop in power over the length of the cable and
ensure that the voltage reaching the antenna unit
is between 11 and 16 VDC.
