Since 1971, the objective of Naval Electronics has been to offer the
best possible products for TV and Radio reception at sea. Naval
began with omnidirectional antennas and is the world leader in this
field of technology today. Now, with an expanded product range, the
name Naval means much more than antennas. Naval operates in
more than 40 countries and has installations on thousands of
vessels all over the world.
All specifications stated are subject to change without notice.

Mark 30ALC / 32ALC
Installation manual
The Naval antennas is a range of omni-directional wide band antennas for maritime purposes.
It is based on a construction of loop antennas coupled to band amplifiers with ALC (automatic
level control). The antennas has a very high dynamic range. The antennas are made of ABS
plastic and filled with polyurethane foam. Mounting base in saltwater proof special alloy and
bolts in stainless acid proof steel.
The antennas is tested by “Det Norske Veritas” for the same approval as for radar equipment.
The advantages of a Mark antenna compared to a Yagi antenna system are:
• ALC Automatic level control.
• Rigid, non-corrodible, maintenance free construction.
• Small dimensions and easy to mount.
• Omni-directional, no adjustments.
• Replaceable amplifier.
• Integrated wavetraps VHF/AIS.

Antenna unit
The antenna should be mounted as high as possible and placed away from funnels, radio communication
antennas and radars to avoid reflections and interferences.
The superior location is at the masthead, with free path in all directions. The antenna can be mounted on a
vibration proof mast, tube or mounting bracket.
The coaxial cable downlead, should be well protected and secured to the mast. Unload the downlead cable by
means of cable clamps and protect it from mechanical damage.
Avoid outdoor cable joints, but if necessary, make sure it is waterproof, by using self-vulcanizing rubber tape or
similar. Avoid excessive bending of the coaxial cable.
Factors, such as transmitting power, polarization, radiation angle and antenna height affect the received signal
strength.
Tune your Radio/TV-set and check sound/picture quality.
Note. In some ports severe reflections from buildings,
cranes etc; can cause distortion due to the nature of the
omni-directional receiving antenna. In some areas, close to
transmitters, overloading of the amplifier and/or Radio/TV-set
is possible. Under these circumstances do not
interfere with the installation or the Radio/TV-set.
