EXTERNAL GPS ANTENNA MOUNTING

The CP500 is supplied with a external GPS WAAS antenna with 15Mt of routing cable. This
antenna is designed to be mounted on a base, installed on an extension or even flush
mounted.
GPS Base Mount
Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky and is not located within
3Ft of a Radar or other transmitting antennas. Ensure there are no major obstructions or
fixtures in the immediate proximity to the antenna. The antenna relies on direct "line of sight"
satellite reception. If you are unsure of the chosen location, temporarily mount the antenna
in the desired location to verify correct operation. If mounted close to Radar, after the GPS
Chart Plotter has a fix, turn on the Radar to ensure the GPS Chart Plotter holds the fix (use
the GPS Status page). The thread used on the antenna is an industry standard (1inch
14TPI) used on a wide range of mounting brackets.
The antenna cable can be cut and spliced to ease installation. Care must be taken when
reconnecting the antenna cable to protect from water and corrosion.
