How Do I Plan The Installation; Cables - Raymarine 45 STV User Manual

How do I plan the installation?....

When choosing a location for the antenna, consider the following points:
• Make sure you place it where there is an all round clear view of the horizon.
• It should not be too high above the water - the maximum recommended height
is one not exceeding half the length of your boat.
• It should be as near to the centerline of the boat as possible.
• The mounting platform should be rigid and not subject to excessive vibration.
• It should be away from the edge of the boat - this will avoid unnecessary motion
which can affect reception.

Make sure nearby objects do not block the
antenna. It requires a +15
to receive satellite signals

Cables

You need to consider the following points
before installing the system cables:
• All cables need to be adequately clamped and protected from physical damage
and exposure to heat - avoid running cables through bilges, doorways, or close
to moving objects.
• Acute bends must be avoided.
• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a watertight
gland or swan neck tube should be used.
Clear view of sky
It should be clear of any radar as this may prevent
the antenna working correctly.
