Unpacking
Carefully check the packing material for these accessories: GNSS antenna, standard antenna cable
assembly, and mounting screws for rack ear removal. Handle the GNSS antenna carefully, as it may
be damaged if dropped.
Installing GNSS Antenna
The GNSS antenna included with the clock is designed to be threaded onto a piece of 3/4 in pipe nipple.
Make sure that the antenna has a clear view of the sky in all directions of the compass for best GNSS
satellite tracking.
1. Pass the antenna cable through the pipe nipple and attach the cable to the antenna. Tighten by
hand, spinning the cable connector. DO NOT spin the antenna onto the cable or DAMAGE may
occur.
2. Thread the pipe nipple into the base of the antenna and snug by hand.
3. Mount the pipe nipple to a fixture, such as our Antenna Mounting Kit.
4. Install GNSS Surge Protector or In-Line Preamplifier if needed. Reference their respective instruc-
tions.
5. Connect the antenna cable to the clock.
