Page 6: Safety Recommendations
1.2 Safety recommendations When mounting the antenna, the distance from the antenna unit to other radiation sources e.g. ➔ radar equipment or other antennas (mobile communication antennas) should be minimum 3 m (11 ft). Simultaneous operation of radar and satellite antenna may damage the satellite antenna if not ➔... -
Page 8: Selecting Location
2.3 Selecting location This illustration shows the importance of a proper location for the antenna unit. Satellite Good view Antenna Antenna Bad view Note that criteria such as an unobstructed view to the satellite and a strong mounting surface are met. Furthermore, no sources of interference, e.g. -
Page 9: Mounting Surface
2.4 Mounting surface A horizontal, solid and steady surface is very important. Make sure that the surface does not have any irregularities! Furthermore, please take into consideration that the weight of the antenna unit is 56 kg or more. Therefore, the surface has to be strong enough to carry the antenna unit, even during the most challenging maritime conditions. -

2.8 Mounting the antenna unit The antenna unit has to be mounted on a solid and steady base parallel to the water surface. Take care that the cable lengths are sufficient, the antenna unit must have an unobstructed view to the satellite and there must be no interference fields (especially mobile communication antennas) nearby. - Page 13 Preparing the Power connector: Housing Insert Chuck Bushing 1. Put bushing and chuck onto the cable. 2. Prepare cable as shown above. 3. Insert the wire into the terminals and fasten the clamping device by a flat screw driver. — 4.
