1. MOUNTING
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 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.
NOTICE
Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or contact spray
to coating or plastic parts of the equipment.
Those items contain organic solvents that can damage coating
and plastic parts, especially plastic connectors.

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 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.

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 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 cable

1.1.4 VHF antenna (FAB-151D, option)
Location
The 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.

1.2 How to Install the FA-1702 Monitor Unit
The monitor unit can be installed on a desktop, overhead (bulkhead) or flush mounted
in a panel. Install it on the chart table or near the steering place, referring to the outline
drawing.
When selecting a mounting location for the monitor unit, keep the following in mind:
• Keep the unit out of direct sunlight.
• The temperature and humidity should be moderate and stable.
(Operating temperature range: -15°C to +55°C)
• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents.
• The mounting location should be well ventilated.
• Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Keep the unit away from electromagnetic field generating equipment such as motor,
generator.
• For maintenance and checking purposes, leave sufficient space at the sides and
rear of the unit and leave slack in cables. Refer to the outline drawing.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the unit is placed too close to it. Observe the
following compass safe distances to prevent disturbance to the magnetic compass:
• For flush mount installation, make sure the mounting location is flat.
• To avoid damage to the cabling when mounting the FA-1702, make sure the cabling
is not excessively bent.
Note: The cabling to the FA-170 should be completed before mounting the unit. See

2.3.2 How to connect the FA-1701 transponder unit
Referring to the figure and table below, connect the FA-1701. The figure below also
shows the recommended entry point for connected cables. (Based on a vessel con-
figured to use all WAGO connection points.)
The WAGO connection points are individually marked on the PC board.
Cable entry #8 should be used for DISP cabling, regardless of vessel configuration,
as the entry hole is larger than the other entry points.
Cable entry #2 should be used for LAN connection, regardless of vessel configuration,
to avoid excess stress on the LAN cable.
Note 1: The cable entry points (for the top row only) are protected from foreign mate-
rial with small plastic spacers. Remove the spacers as required when connecting ca-
bles to the FA-1701.
Note 2: For configurations with seven or less connections to the FA-1701, use the bot-
tom row of cable entries.
All cables should be secured at the cable clamps (indicated as #1 through #15 in the
figure above) using cable ties (included). The LAN cable in particular should be se-
cured with the outer sheath of the LAN cable on the cable clamp.
