4. Routing and Terminating Coaxial Cable(s)
Connect the extension coaxial cables to the antenna and route them to the equipment, taking care to avoid running the cables adjacent to any existing vehicle
wiring or fouling any moving vehicle component. The cable(s) must not be routed in front of any airbag device. Fit the correct coaxial connector or adaptor to
the cable(s) as required.
5. Commission and Test
Check GPS (GPS/GNSS) cable:
• Check the GPS cable with DC to measure high resistance.
• Connect the GPS cable to the GPS receiver and check for satellite acquisition.
Check communications cable (GPSK only):
• Earth continuity test: The connector body to the vehicle ground should measure <0.2Ω;
• The connector body to the connector centre pin should measure open circuit.
• Carry out a VSWR check, the VSWR should measure as detailed on the relevant datasheet.
Connect the GPS and communications cables or stow the unused pigtails.
6. Notices
