BBWX3 INSTALLATION GUIDE

3.0 BBWX3 Installation

The BBWX3 does not come standard with a SiriusXM satellite antenna or antenna cable. These
must be purchased separately. The BBWX3 is compatible with two Shakespeare antenna models:

 SRA-40
 SRA 25

Furuno USA carries the following:

WX1-005-003 Shakespeare SRA-40 antenna
WX1-005-004 25' BBWX3 Antenna Cable

For installations that require longer cable lengths you may contact your local Shakespeare
outlet for options.

3.1 Mounting Considerations

The BBWX3 can be mounted on a desktop or a bulkhead. When choosing a mounting
location, keep in mind the following points:

 Locate the unit well away from areas subject

to intense splashing, rain and direct sunlight

 Locate the unit away from the vessel engines

or where fuel vapor may be present

 Locate the unit in an environment inside the

operating and storage temperature ranges

 The power cable supplied is 3.0 meters,

however it can be extended up to 20 meters

 If bulkhead mounting, the cables should

protrude out the bottom, not the top. This will
prevent any possible water (moisture) from
wicking into the unit from the cables

Note: The Antenna and Receiver should be mounted away from electromagnetic interference
(e.g. >1.5 meters away from an AIS or radio transmitter, >2.0 meters away from Radar,
>1.8 meters from a compass).

Fix the unit to the mounting location with the two self-tapping screws provided.

BBWX3 INSTALLATION GUIDE

3.2 Mounting the Antenna

• Do not install antenna where it can be damaged by being kicked or trampled.

• The antenna beam is required to have an unrestricted view of the skies; this
constitutes 5 ft [1.5 meters] out from the antenna and 1 ft [0.3 meter] above and below
the antenna.

• The antenna is to be installed on a flat horizontal surface.

• The antenna can be installed as a standard “pedestal” mounting or “surface”

mounting [non metallic surface only].

• Depending on the method of mounting and thickness of mounting substrate, the

hardware screws supplied may not be suitable.

• The antenna must not be installed in the path of a radar beam.

• The antenna cable should not be cut or altered.

3.3 Cabling

Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways or
close to moving or hot objects. Don’t make sharp
bends in cables.

Be careful when pulling cables and/or connectors
through bulkheads as damage can occur. Don’t run
cables in a way that allows water to flow down into
connectors.

Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead
or deck head, a watertight gland or “swan neck”
should be used.

Don’t run the Ethernet cables in areas adjacent to
radar transmitter, or large current carrying cables.

The power cable provided is 3 meters long. However, it may be extended to a maximum of
20 meters using a suitable 16 AWG multi-stranded cable. Red is positive, black is negative.

The audio cable provided is 3 meters long. It has two RCA male stereo connectors.
Note that only certain MFDs provide audio control with the BBWX3.

The antenna cable for the BBWX3 is not standard supply and must be purchased
separately.

The Ethernet cables used with the BBWX3 must be shielded.

3.4 Turning Power ON, LED Indications/Functionality

Power ON

No operation is required for the user. Simply turn on the BBWX3’s DC power source to
power it.

BBWX3 LEDs

The LEDs are displayed near the connectors on the BBWX3 unit as shown below.

Audio LED

There is a single, green LED that provides the audio status of the BBWX3 receiver.
Generally, the Audio LED is solid green for normal operation; when off, the audio channel is
muted. When it is blinking, there is a receiver failure.

Antenna LED

The Antenna LED provides antenna status information. If the LED is off or flashing green
while power to the BBWX3 Receiver is applied, there is no antenna connection recognized by
the BBWX3.

If the Antenna LED is solid green, a normal antenna connection has been detected by the
BBWX3. If the Antenna LED is fast flashing (x2), an antenna short circuit has been detected.

Network LED

The Network LED indicates network status information. If the Network LED is off, no network
connection is recognized. If the Network LED is solid green or flashing green, the network
connection is normal.

Power LED

The Power LED is amber and indicates whether the receiver has power.
