Installation steps are as follows:
During the installation of GPS antenna, after fixing the GPS antenna,
connect TNC plug of GPS feed cable to transponder's TNC socket.
Pay attention to the following points during the installation of GPS
antenna:
①
Each GPS antenna can only connect to one AIS device,
cannot be shared with other devices.
②
GPS antenna should be fixed to railing of platform above
bridge, and ensure no block by other buildings or metal things to
avoid affecting normal reception of GPS signal
③
GPS antenna is a 360 ° omni-directional one, the angle with
horizon is 5° ~90° .
Since GPS signals are very sensitive to noise and interference, so
GPS antenna should be as far away as possible from radar, laser and
other transmitting facilities and antenna.
④
The distance between GPS antenna, VHF antenna and other
antennas should be 3M above.
