Marine Antenna Installation - Globalstar Sat-Fi Installation And Configuration Manual

Marine Antenna Installation

There is more than one approach to mounting the marine external antenna and every vessel installation is
different. Follow the below generic steps while installing the antenna:

For best results the antenna should be mounted at the highest point on the vessel with a 360
degree view of the sky.

The antenna must not be positioned within range of radar equipment or other RF interference.

The antenna must be at least 3 feet (1 Meter) from other antennas (including GPS antennas).

Use only the coaxial cables that come with the antenna kit.
o
Do not cut or modify the coaxial antenna cable.
o
Do not kink the coaxial cables

Use adhesive lined heatshrink tubing to seal all external cable connections to prevent moisture
and corrosion damage. Heatshrink tubing is available without the adhesive lining, but it does not
completely protect the cables/connectors from salt and water ingress.

Attach the Marine antenna to a standard 14 threads per inch marine mast (Not Included).
NOTE: Ensure to use appropriate and sufficient mounting hardware to ensure proper and secure
installation of the marine mast.
