1-11. MOUNTING1.1 How to Install the Antenna Unit(s)1.1.1 Mounting considerations for all antenna unitsWhen 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 ob-ject 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 freez-es.•  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 hori-zon 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 an-tenna should be mounted directly above or below the ship’s primary VHF radiotele-phone 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.NOTICEDo not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or contact sprayto coating or plastic parts of the equipment. Those items contain organic solvents that can damage coatingand plastic parts, especially plastic connectors.MastOther AntennasBridgeGPA-017S or GVA-100-T or FAB-151D
1.  MOUNTING1-21.1.2 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 re-ception 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 in-terfering objects and water spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite sig-nal if the water freezes.•  Also, refer to the antenna installation guidelines on page 1-6.Installation overview of GPS/VHF combined antennaMounting procedure1. 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.

1.  MOUNTING1-41.1.3 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 re-ception 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 freez-es.How to extend the antenna cableThree types of antenna cable extensions are optionally available.a) Antenna cable set CP20-02700Securing and waterproofing the connectorReferring 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.

1.  MOUNTING1-61.1.4 VHF antenna (FAB-151D, option)LocationThe location of the mandatory AIS VHF-antenna should be carefully considered. Dig-ital communication is more sensitive than analog/voice communication to interference created by reflections in obstructions like masts and booms. It may be necessary to relocate the VHF radiotelephone antenna to minimize interference effects.To minimize interference effects, the following guidelines apply:•  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 hori-zon 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 an-tenna should be mounted directly above or below the ship’s primary VHF radiotele-phone 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.Cabling•  The cable should be kept as short as possible to minimize signal attenuation. Co-axial cables equal to or better than RG10U/Y are recommended.•  All outdoor-installed connectors on coaxial cables should be fitted with preventive isolation such as vulcanizing tape to protect against water penetration into the an-tenna cable.•  Coaxial cables should be installed in separate signal cable channels/tubes and at least 10 cm away from power supply cables. Crossing of cables should be done at right angles (90°). The minimum bend radius of the coaxial cable should be 5 times the cable's outer diameter.•  Install the VHF whip antenna referring to the outline drawing at the back of this man-ual. Separate this antenna from other VHF radiotelephone antennas as shown be-low to prevent interference to the FA-170.When coaxial cable RG-10/UY (shipyard supply) is used, attach the coaxial plug M-P-7 (dockyard supply) as shown on the following page.More than 10 m Other VHF whip antenna Whip antenna for AIS (GPS/VHF combined antenna)  More than 0.5 mMore than 2.8 m  Horizontal separation distance Vertical separation distance
