1 Introduction
What comes with your GPS 1240 or 1330 antenna
This installation manual describes how to install Navman’s GPS 1240/1330 antenna using two
methods: surface mounting and pole mounting.
2 Choosing a suitable location for the antenna
Mount the antenna with a good view of the sky
and horizon. The view should not be blocked
by large parts of the superstructure.
The unit can be under glass, perspex, fi breglass
or fabric, but not under metal or wood.
Mount the antenna away from any source of
electrical signals or noise. Do not mount the
antenna within 3 m (10 ft) of a radio transmitter
antenna or within 0.5 m (20") of the plane of a
radar antenna.
Do not fi t the antenna too high, such as up a
mast, or boat rocking will cause errors in speed
and bearing.
Do not mount the antenna where it can be
used as a hand hold, where it will interfere
with the operation of the boat or where it might
be submerged.
Mount the antenna within the connection range
of the cable in it's fi nal secured position, keeping
the cable away from sources of electrical
signals or noise and ensuring the cable is not
pinched or crushed.

4B If exiting the side of the
antenna, remove three
plastic tabs, then seal
cable into place with
silicon.
Ensure that the
channel is fi lled
with silicon to
provide a seal
when gasket is
in place.
5. Attach the four threaded
pins to the antenna.
6. Peel the plastic off the
gasket.
7. Place antenna in fi nal
position.
8. Attach the four nuts to the threaded rod.
Do not overtighten.
9. Attach to instrument, then secure the
cable at regular intervals.
3-1 Surface mounting
Select a suitable location which allows access for affi xing nuts and has a suitable mounting surface.
Avoid high traffi c areas where the antenna may be a tripping hazard.
Ensure that any holes made are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in
doubt, consult a qualifi ed boat builder.
3 Mounting
There are two mounting options:
Pole mountedSurface mounted
1. Clean the surface where the antenna will
be mounted.
2. Peel the back off one
side of the gasket
and stick the gasket
in the fi nal mounting
position.
3. Using the gasket
as a template, drill
four 4 mm (5/32")
holes.
4. The cable may either pass through the
surface the antenna is mounted on, or
exit the side of the antenna:
4A For GPS 1330 if
passing cable through
the surface, drill a 9
mm (3/8") hole for the
connector.
For GPS 1240 if
passing cable through
the surface, drill an 18 mm
(23/32") hole for the
connector.
