1.1 How to Install the Antenna Unit(s)

1.1.1 Mounting considerations for all antenna units

When selecting a mounting location for the antenna, keep in mind the following points.

• Select a location out of the radar
beam. The radar beam will obstruct
or prevent reception of the GPS
satellite signal.

• There should be no interfering ob­ject within the line-of-sight to the
satellites. Objects within line-of­sight to a satellite, for example, a
mast, may block reception or prolong acquisition time.

• Mount the antenna unit as high as possible to keep it free of interfering objects and
water spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite signal if the water freez­es.

• Referring to the drawing at the back if this manual, leave sufficient space between
all antennas to avoid mutual interference.

For VHF antennas, also keep in mind the following points:

• The AIS VHF antenna should be placed in an elevated position that is as free as
possible with a minimum of 0.5 meters in the horizontal direction from constructions
made of conductive materials. The antenna should not be installed close to any
large vertical obstruction. The objective for the AIS VHF antenna is to see the hori­zon freely through 360 degrees.

• The AIS VHF antenna should be installed safely away from interfering high-power
energy sources like radar and other transmitting radio antennas, preferably at least
3 meters away from and out of the transmitting beam.

• There should not be more than one antenna on the same plane. The AIS VHF an­tenna should be mounted directly above or below the ship’s primary VHF radiotele­phone antenna, with no horizontal separation and with a minimum of 2.8 meters
vertical separation. If it is located on the same plane as other antennas, the distance
apart should be at least 10 meters.

1.1.2 GPS/VHF combined antenna (GVA-100-T)

Install the combined antenna unit referring to the outline drawing. When selecting a
mounting location for the antenna, keep in mind the following points.

• Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent re­ception of the GPS satellite signal.

• There should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to the satellites. Objects
within line-of-sight to a satellite, for example, a mast, may block reception or prolong
acquisition time.

• Mount the antenna unit as high as possible. Mounting it this way keeps it free of in­terfering objects and water spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite sig­nal if the water freezes.

• Also, refer to the antenna installation guidelines on page 1-6.

Installation overview of GPS/VHF combined antenna

Mounting procedure

1. Dismount the bottom cover, cut the cable-tie inside the unit and take out the co-

axial connector attached to the combined box.

2. Loosen four screws to loosen whip antenna fixture and pull out the coaxial con-

nector coming from the combined box through the hole in the whip antenna fixture.

3. Connect the coaxial connector to the whip antenna base and wrap the junction

part of the whip antenna with vulcanizing tape and then vinyl tape for waterproof­ing.

4. Insert the whip antenna from the top of the combined antenna.

5. Secure the whip antenna with whip antenna fixture.

6. Using a new cable tie (supplied), secure the cables and coaxial connector inside

the antenna case.

7. Mount the bottom cover.

8. Fix the GPS/VHF combined antenna to the ship’s stanchion (40 to 50 mm diame-

ter) with antenna fixing brackets, flat washers and hex. nuts.

Note: Coat the exposed parts of bolts and nuts with marine sealant (local supply).

How to install distributor unit DB-1

The length of the cable between the distributor unit and transponder unit is 1 m so lo­cate the distributor unit within 1 m from the transponder unit. Fix the distributor unit on
the bulkhead, facing the cable entrance downward. Remove the lid of the distributor
unit and secure the unit with two self-tapping screws.

1.1.3 GPS antenna unit (GPA-017S)

Install the GPS antenna unit referring to the outline drawing at the back of this manual.

When selecting a mounting location for the antenna, keep in mind the following points.

• Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent re­ception of the GPS satellite signal.

• There should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to the satellites. Objects
within line-of-sight to a satellite, for example, a mast, may block reception or prolong
acquisition time.

• Mount the antenna unit as high as possible to keep it free of interfering objects and
water spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite signal if the water freez­es.

How to extend the antenna cable

Three types of antenna cable extensions are optionally available.

a) Antenna cable set CP20-02700

 Securing and waterproofing the connector

Referring to the figures in section 2.2.1 secure and waterproof the connections.

b) Antenna cable set CP20-02720 (8D-FB-CV, 40m)/CP20-02710 (8D-FB-CV, 50m)

Connect the cable the same as a) above.

c) Cable type RG-10/UY (shipyard supply)

Note: The length of this cable should be less than 20 m to prevent signal loss. The
coax. coupling cable assy.(type: NJ-TP+3DXV-1, code no. 000-123-809-10), co­axial connector (N-P-8DFB; supplied), vulcanizing tape and vinyl tape are re­quired. Fabricate both ends of the cable as shown in the figure on the next page.
