  • Page 36: Location Of System Parts

    Kongsberg DPS 232 4.2 Location of system parts The following sections contain instructions regarding location of the various system parts. 4.2.1 GNSS antenna The most critical aspect of the system installation is the location of the GNSS antenna. Incorrect or inadequate installation can lead to poor positioning performance or complete loss of position.
  • Page 37 Installation Figure 8 Bad antenna location Multipath Inappropriate location of the antenna can result in the antenna receiving reflections of the incoming signal as well as the signal itself (multipath). The reflected multipath signal takes a longer path than the direct signal, introducing an error into the position calculation.

  • Page 38: Iala Beacon Antenna

    Kongsberg DPS 232 Interference from other radiating sources Interference can be caused by close proximity to other radiating sources. Installing GNSS antennas in close proximity to satellite communication systems operating in or nearby GPS/GLONASS frequency bands (1.2 to 1.6 GHz) should be avoided (i.e. Sat C, Iridium).

  • Page 39: Cabinet Installation

    Installation • The unit has an internal fan and requires free airflow from the rear and out to the sides. It is recommended that ventilation or air conditioning is provided in order to keep the ambient operating temperature around +20 °C. The best location is typically in the instrument room or on the bridge mounted into a 19-inch rack with good ventilation and resilient mounting.

  • Page 44: Antenna And Cable Installation

    Kongsberg DPS 232 4.5 Antenna and cable installation As the signals involved are inherently week RF signals, great care and attention should be taken regarding the selection and installation of the RF cabling and connections made. Attenuation of GNSS signals should be considered when selecting cable type, as signal loss will dictate maximum lengths.

  • Page 45: Gnss Antenna And Cable Installation

    Installation Note The specified cable length of 80 metres only applies to the GPS–702–GG-N antenna delivered with the system. Other lengths may apply to other types of antennas. The RF Fibre Optical Link is used as an antenna cable extension allowing the distance between the antenna and receiver to be extended to several hundred metres.
