1. MOUNTING

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 Antenna Units

1.1.1 GPS antenna unit

Install the GPS antenna unit referring to the drawing on page D-5 or D-6 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.
