GA150 connection
a9x and a12x MFDs include an internal GNSS (GPS / GLONASS)
receiver. The GA150 antenna can be used to improve the GNSS
(GPS / GLONASS) receiver’s reception.
GA150 installation instructions
GA150 product overview
The GA150 is an external antenna capable of improving the
reception of a Multifunction display’s (MFD’s) internal Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver.
D13069-1
1. GA150 antenna
2. a9x or a12x variant MFD
For installation details for your external antenna, refer to the
documentation that accompanied the antenna.
D13078-1
Note:
The GA150 has the following features:
• The Beidou GNSS is supported but not currently available.
• 10 m (33 ft.) fitted cable.
• A GA150 must be connected in order to receive the Beidou
system when it becomes available.
• Low power consumption.
• Surface or pole mountable.
Note: When the Beidou GNSS becomes available a GA150
MUST be used in order to obtain reception. Your MFD will also
require a software update to enable support of the Beidou
system.
The GA150 antenna is compatible with the following Raymarine
variant MFDs:
• a95 / a97 / a98
• a125 / a127 / a128
The parts supplied with your GA150 GNSS (GPS / GLONASS)
antenna are shown below.
The antenna cable length can be extended by up to 10 m (33 ft.)
giving a total maximum cable length of 20 m (66 ft.)
50 ohm coaxial cable and reliable connectors (offering protection
against water ingress) must be used when extending the antenna
cable.
Note: Extending the cable length by more than the
recommended maximum length will result in signal
degradation.
GA150 Parts supplied
Antenna cable length
The GA150 is supplied with a fitted 10 m (33 ft.) cable. The
length of the antenna cable can be extended if required.
GA150 MFD compatibility
• A software update will be required to add support for Beidou
once the system is available. Please check with your
Raymarine dealer for further details.
Connecting an external antenna
Follow the steps below to connect the GA150 external antenna to
your a9x or a12x variant MFD.
D13075-1
1. GA150 antenna (The antenna is supplied with a fitted 10 m
(33 ft.) cable for connection to your MFD.)
2. GA150 mounting gasket
3. Pole mount adaptor
4. 2 x Thumbs nuts
5. 2 x Studs
6. 2 x screws
7. Document pack

1. Fully insert the antenna’s cable connector into the GA150
connector on the rear of your display.
2. Turn the locking collar clockwise until tight.
Date: 05-2014
3. Push to protective boot over the connection on the back of
the display.
4. Use the supplied cable tie to secure the protective boot over
the connection.
Antenna location requirements
The antenna can be used to improve the reception of your MFD’s
built-in GNSS (GPS / GLONASS) receiver. Do NOT connect any
other antenna to the MFD’s GA150 connector.
• If you intend to surface mount the antenna, ensure you have
access to the underside of the mounting surface.
• If you intend to pole-mount the antenna, the pole needs to have
a 1 inch 14 TPI thread.
Important: The antenna must be mounted in a location that
provides a good direct line of site to the entire sky, around the
horizon.
Ensure that the selected mounting location is:
• Open and clear of any obstructions (such as masts, search
lights, or other structures) that could block line-of-sight to the
sky.
• As low as possible, to keep the antenna as stable as possible.
The more stable the antenna, the more effectively it will track
satellites and provide stable data.
• As far as possible (at least 1 m (3 ft) from other antennae and
electronic equipment.
Do NOT mount the antenna:
• In any area where it could be stepped on or tripped over.

The antenna can be mounted either on a flat horizontal surface or
on a suitable pole.
2. Screw the two mounting studs (2) into the underside of the
antenna.
3. Stick the supplied gasket (3) to the mounting surface, ensuring
that the holes on the gasket correspond with the drilled holes.
4. Route the cable as follows:
• For Option A, feed the cable down through the center hole.
• For Option B, route the cable along the cable exit channel.
5. Carefully place the antenna so the mounting studs pass
through the holes in the mounting surface.
6. Secure the antenna to the surface using the supplied thumb
nuts (4).
Pole mounting
If you want to pole-mount the antenna, obtain a pole of suitable
length with a 1 inch 14 TPI thread.
• Up a mast. This will cause the antenna to swing and give
significant errors in position data.
• In the direct path of a radar beam.
Fitting the antenna
To fit the antenna:
1. Select a suitable location for the antenna as described under
Antenna location requirements.
2. Fit your antenna using either the Surface mounting or Pole
mounting procedure, as appropriate.
3. Ensuring that cable routing and connection requirements as
detailed in the installation instructions for the product that the
antenna will be connected to are followed.
Surface mounting
When surface mounting the antenna, you can route the cable
either centrally (Option A) or from the side of the antenna
(Option B).
1. Use the template supplied to mark the two 6 mm (0.25 in)
mounting holes.
• OPTION A: If the cable is going to pass through the
mounting surface drill a 19 mm (0.75 in) center hole.
• OPTION B: If the cable is to be routed from the side of the
antenna (i.e. above the mounting surface), remove the
two plastic tabs (1) obstructing the cable channel. If you
do not remove these tabs before using the cable channel,
you could damage the cable.
D13076-1
1. Ensuring that the Antenna location requirements are met,
securely attach the pole to a suitable, stable point.
2. Screw the pole mount adaptor fully onto the pole and ensure it
is secure on the pole.
3. Route the antenna cable as follows:
i. If you want to route the antenna cable directly down from
the antenna (option A), feed it through the center of the
pole mount adaptor and then down through the pole.
ii. If you want to route the antenna cable out of the side of the
antenna (option B), remove the two plastic tabs from the
cable channel, then feed the cable along the channel.
4. Ensuring you do not trap the cable, place the antenna on the
pole mount adaptor so the screw holes align, then secure the
antenna with the screws provided.
