Chapter 3 .................................Installation

This chapter provides guidance on hardware
installation for optimum performance.

Standard Antenna

The 5/8 inch BSW threaded antenna mount has a
depth of 16mm (0.63 inch).

It is possible to remove the 5/8 inch BSW threaded
alloy insert to reveal a secondary means of mounting
the antenna, a 1-14UNS-2B thread with a depth of
16mm (0.63 inch). This is a typical marine industry
mount for navigation antennas.

The BSW insert is secured in-place with an
adhesive, and its removal will change the
shock and vibration sustainability
characteristics of the antenna mount.

Figure 9: Standard GPS/L-band Antenna

Do not loosen or remove the eight Phillips
screws on the base of the antenna for
mounting purposes. This will VOID the
warranty and compromise the environmental
seal of the antenna, leading to internal
damage.
