2.1. Dimensions, Mounting and Location

Figure 1 AS07-N2K Dimensions
AS07-N2K is designed to be securely positioned in an outdoor environment. The AS07-N2K should be
mounted to a strong and sturdy location. The AS07-N2K has a standard G 3/4 screw thread and can be
installed using the corresponding antenna base (included) or a G ¾ Base of your choice.
Mount the AS07-N2K in a:
• Sturdy outdoor location, with 'line of sight' to the sky
• As close to the vehicle/boat's center of gravity as possible. Avoid
mounting too high up, to ensure a more accurate compass reading
• Minimum 0.3 meter from other compasses (standard and steering)
• Minimum 2 meters from a VHF antenna
• Ensure the mounting location will not disrupt moving equipment (eg.
Radar)
• Do NOT install near ferrous metals or anything that can create a magnetic field such as: magnetized
materials, electric motors, electronic equipment, engines,
generators, power/ignition cables, and batteries.
• Do not install within a steel/ magnetic container, including
not within the hull of a steel boat/vehicle
• With the correct orientation. AS07-N2K has two raised lines
on the tube, the center point of these should be pointed straight
forward, towards the front of the boat, as illustrated.
• If this is not possible, you can configure this adjustment to
+90 to –90 degrees using the Windows configuration tool. (See
the Configuration chapter for more details)
