1.3 Choosing the Mounting Locati on

For a reliable GPS signal, selecting the best location for the receiver is very important. It can be mounted on a pole, rail, or flat surface. Choose a location that balances the requirements below.

• The GPS receiver must have a clear view of the sky to the horizon in all directions. Note that frozen water spray may degrade reception.

• Referring to the figure below for distances, mount away from any VHF radio, satellite communications equipment, radar, or other antennas to avoid mutual interference.

• Mount above or below any radar beam. Do not mount within a radar beam.

• Mount reasonably level with the earth’s surface—not tilted to one side.

• Do not mount on top of a sailboat mast. The sway will cause jitter in the data.

• Do not mount where the GPS receiver could be a tripping hazard or tread upon.

1.4 Mounting

Alignment tab

GPS receiver (part A)

Mount base (part C)

Flat washer (2 pcs.)

Spring washer (2 pcs.)

Nut

Assembly

Captive nut

Adaptor

Slot for cable exit

Panhead screw (2 pcs.)

GPS connector

Cable side-exit adaptor (part D)

The nut assembly supplied has standard 1-14" UNS threads that can be screwed to a standard marine antenna mount, extension pole, or rail-mount bracket. Before beginning the installation, plan for securing the pole/rail bracket to the boat and purchase locally all the necessary hardware. It may be helpful to fasten the pole/rail bracket to the boat before proceeding.

1. Unscrew the mount base (part C) from the surface bracket (part E). (The sur-

face bracket is not used in this installation. See the next page for part (E)).

2. Remove the label from the GPS receiver’s socket (underside of receiver). The

label may be discarded. Fasten the mount base (part C) to the GPS receiver (part A) with the supplied

two panhead screws, flat washers and spring washers. The torque for the screws is 1.35 N

3. Decide if you want the cable to exit through the center or along the side of the

pole/rail bracket. Slide the nut assembly (captive nut and adaptor) onto the cable at the 9-pin GPS connector end. Do not connect the GPS receiver at this

time.

1)Center exit—Pass the instrument connector end of the cable down through the center of the pole. Be sure to leave several inches of cable extending

beyond the nut assembly.

2)Side exit—Place the cable side-exit adaptor (part D) over the cable. Being sure the cable is passing through the slot in the side, screw the nut assembly

onto the adaptor. Hand-tighten only. Do not over tighten. Note: Use the adaptor supplied as it has smooth edges that will not chafe the

cable. Do not use a purchased part.

CAUTION: If you use a thread locker, use teflon pipe thread tape. Do not use a liquid thread locker as it may weaken the plastic, causing it to swell and crack.

4. Screw the extension pole/rail bracket onto the nut assembly / cable side-exit adaptor. Hand-tighten only. Do not over tighten.
