RC3000 Antenna Controller Chapter 2 Installation

2.1.2 GPS Receiver

The optional GPS receiver (RC3000GPS) should be mounted in a position (such as the truck's roof)
where it has an unobstructed view of the horizon and sky. It should be mounted outside of the reflector
when in a stowed position, with the connector (on the underside) towards the cable's entry point into the
truck. Care should be taken in the routing of the cable to avoid any problems.
The GPS receiver should be mounted at least three feet from other antennas and electrical generating
equipment. Strong RF interference from other sources may disrupt the GPS receiver's signal reception.
Wiring of the GPS connector is discussed in section 2.2.6.
Recent RC3000s have been supplied with the GPS17 receiver model. The following diagram shows its
dimensions.
Earlier RC3000s were supplied with the GPS35 receiver model. The following diagram shows its
dimensions.
The GPS35 unit is supplied with 25 feet of cable. The GPS35 unit is supplied with a flange mounting
bracket as shown above. An optional marine mounting bracket is also provided.
