To mount the antenna unit, an exclusive pipe is necessary.
Note 1: Do not shorten these cables. Interference can result, affecting performance.
Note 2: To mount the antenna unit with the optional antenna mounting kit (Type:
CP16-03701, Code No.: 004-555-000), see page D-4.
Locally prepare an antenna mast with a ground stud (M6 stainless steel bolt welded to
antenna mast) and mounting pipe with threads and plate (See the outline drawing of the
mounting plate shown below.) Weld the mounting pipe to the antenna mast.
The distance between the stud and the earth terminal on the antenna unit should be within
340 mm, which also is the length of the supplied ground wire.
Note: Use of the mounting pipe (FURUNO supply or the equivalent) is mandatory in case of
FFA version. See the equipment list at the beginning of this manual for information.
