Step 2 - Installing the GPS antenna

For mounting of the GPS antenna provided with your AIS transceiver you will require a one inch

14 TPI thread pole. You should ensure the GPS antenna has a good clear view of the entire sky.

It is not recommended that the GPS antenna is mounted up a mast where the motion of the

vessel will cause the antenna to swing and potentially reduce the accuracy of the GPS position.

Do not mount your antenna in the direct path of a radar transmitter.

Feed the ten metre long cable attached to the GPS antenna cable through the pole and screw

the antenna onto the pole mount as shown in Figure 6.

Route the cable to your AIS transceiver unit, adding any necessary extension cables.

Connect the cable from the GPS antenna to the GPS connector on the AIS transceiver as shown

in Figure 6.
