4-2 The method of installation SI-30A is designed for installing to the existing bridge easily, it shows the occupation of general system on outer wiring diagram in Annex. We suggest that all components such as VHF antenna, Plotter, MKD should be installed According to the instruction as manufacturer provides.
4-3-1 How to setup Antenna VHF Antenna is for keeping TX/RX in good performance, please kindly refer below instructions when you install VHF Antenna. Generally, VHF Antenna should be installed in high position as far away from other equipment. And it should be away at least 2M from the conductivity materials. Further, it should not be installed in near by vertical material and secured a 360 view.
4-3-2 When you install VHF Antenna, please check bellows. The position of bracket. The bracket should be substantial spot. Put the antenna on Antenna’s mount. Use RG-8U (coaxial cables) cables and keep shortened cables if possible. Leave some length of cables to the terminal. Put the connector at either ends of coaxial cables.

Transceiver connection lost This message indicates that the SI-30A display unit can no longer communicate with the SI- 30A transponder. This may indicate a problem with the connections, or may indicate that the transponder is no longer operating correctly. This fault should be investigated immediately. It is important to note that there is a safety timer in the transponder which causes it to shut down automatically if the transmitter should remain on for too long.
