1. MOUNTING
1.1 Antenna Units
1.1.1 GPS antenna unit
Install the GPS antenna unit referring to the drawing on page D-1 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.
Extending antenna cable
Three types of antenna cable extensions are optionally available.

1.1.2 VHF antenna
Location
The location of the mandatory AIS VHF-antenna should be carefully considered.
Digital 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 minimise 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 horizon
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
antenna should be mounted directly above or below the ship’s primary VHF
radiotelephone 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.
Coaxial 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
antenna 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
manual. Separate this antenna from other VHF radiotelephone antennas as shown
on the next page to prevent interference to the FA-150.

4
• When coaxial cable RG-10U/Y (shipyard supply) is used, attach the coaxial plug
M-P-7 (dockyard supply) as shown on the next page.

How to attach the plug M-P-7
Lay the coaxial cable and attach an M-type plug (if necessary) to the cable as
follows.
1. Remove the sheath by 30 mm.
2. Bare 23 mm of the center conductor. Trim
braided shield by 5 mm and tin.
3. Slide coupling ring onto cable.
4. Screw the plug assembly on the cable.
5. Solder plug assembly to braided shield
through solder holes. Solder contact sleeve
to conductor.
6. Screw coupling ring into plug assembly.
1.1.3 GPS/VHF combined antenna
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
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. Mounting it this way keeps it free of
interfering objects and water spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite
signal if the water freezes.
• Also, refer to the antenna installation guidelines page 3.

part of the whip antenna with vulcanizing tape and then vinyl tape for
waterproofing.
4. Insert the whip antenna from the top of the combined antenna.
5. Secure the whip antenna with whip antenna fixture.
6. Using a new plastic band (supplied), secure the cables and coaxial connector
inside the antenna case.
7. Mount the bottom cover.
8. Fix the GPS/VHF combined antenna to the ship’s stanchion (40 to 50 mm
