Cable Routing

Antenna Mounting Precautions

•Place the antenna at the highest point
of the vessel and ensure that there
aren’t any surrounding obstructions to
the antenna.
•In order to avoid communication
interference, ensure that the antenna
is placed at least 0.5m away from other
antennas and metal objects.
•Avoid installing the antenna near the
vessel’s chimney, as the smoke and
soot emitted by the chimney can
obstruct the signal level achieved by
the antenna.
•Install the antenna away from the
vessel’s heat sources and ammable
gases.
• Survey the planned cable route and look for
any blocked passages. Consider alternate
routes to nd the best available path.
Always keep the cables as short as possible
to make sure that minimum cable losses are
achieved.
• Note: Take advantage of any existing cable
channels. e.g wiring conduits to route the
cables.
• Avoid running cables through components
or sharp apertures that may cause excessive
chang. Doing so may erode the jacket and
break signal continuity. Also, avoid kinking,
pinching, or twisting a cable during a run.

Safety

• Use cable ties to secure the antenna
cables. 

• Never pull on the cable connectors; pull
only on the cable.
• Never run cables in a manner that
interferes with the driver’s ability to
safely operate the boat.
• Tighten the connectors and ensure that
the cables don’t rattle loose.
• The antenna may not be used as a climbing
or pulling device.
• Considerations must be taken when
mounting the antenna that people do not
hang or pull on it.
• Use safety goggles when drilling the
antenna hole.
• Avoid using bits that are dull, bent or
damaged.
•Be aware of where your ngers are in
relation to the drill bit when using the drilling
machine.
• To stop the drilling machine, let the drill
chuck come to a complete stop on its own.
Never grasp the chuck in an attempt to
stop the drill bit.
•Avoid operating while under the inuence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
•Make sure that any loose tting jewellery or
clothing is secured and tie back long hair as
they can get caught in moving parts during
installation.
• Avoid awkward hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause a hand to move
into the drill bit or cutting tool.
