Introduction - Introduzione
Contents - Contenuto
Wave is an omnidirectional antenna designed to receive all available analogue and digital terrestrial
TV, FM and DAB signals through 360 degree radius, made specically for the marine environment
and for all types of vessels.
Omnidirectional design eliminates the time needed to locate the direction of a local TV and radio
transmitter. Wave is equipped with a built-in high gain amplier (25 dB) with extreme low noise
gure (0.2) that increases the strength of incoming digital signals.
Wave è un’antenna omnidirezionale progettata per ricevere tutti i segnali analogici e digitali terrestri
TV, FM e DAB, con un raggio di ricezione di 360 gradi, costruita specicamente per l’ambiente
marino e adatta all’istallazione su ogni tipo di imbarcazione.
Il sistema di ricezione omnidirezionale elimina il tempo di direzionamento antenna verso le
trasmittenti TV e radio locali, permettendo un’ecace sintonizzazione sia da fermo che in
movimento. Wave è equipaggiata al suo interno con un amplicatore ad alto guadagno (25 dB) e
con una cifra di rumore estremamente bassa (0.2), che permette di incrementare la potenza dei
segnali digitali in ingresso.

Antenna installation - Installazione dell’antenna
Install the antenna in accordance with the following procedures to insure maximum performance
of the antenna.
► The antenna should be installed in the place where is an all round clear view of the horizon and
as high as possible.
► Please keep clear the antenna from any obstacles.
► The mounting platform should be rigid enough and not subjected to excessive vibration. The
movement of the antenna can be minimized by installing at the center of the vessel. For optimal
performance of the antenna, it is not recommended to install at any corner of the vessel, where
the movement of the vessel is the greatest.
► In case of through-hole deck installation do not install the antenna onto a metal surface or
enclosure.
L’installazione dell’antenna deve procedere seguendo le presenti istruzioni per assicurarne la
massima performance.
► Installare l’antenna in una posizione con visuale totalmente aperta dell’orizzonte e il più in alto
possibile.
► Mantenere la visuale dell’antenna libera da ostacoli.
► Il piano dove eettuare l’installazione deve essere il più rigido possibile e non soggetto a
eccessive vibrazioni. L’oscillazione dell’antenna può essere minimizzata montandola al centro
dell’imbarcazione. Evitare il montaggio in posizioni periferiche dove il movimento oscillatorio è
maggiore.
► In caso di installazione a lo evitare di posizionare l’antenna su una supercie metallica.
Installation type 1 - through-hole deck mounting
Installazione tipo 1 - montaggio su supercie piana
Use the mounting template (that you’ll nd in
the last page of this guide) to drill the three holes
on the at surface where it must be mounted.
Utilizzate la dima di montaggio (mounting
template) che trovate nell’ultima pagina di questa
guida per operare i tre fori sulla supercie piana
sulla quale volete installare l’antenna.

Connect the F male connector that you tted on the
termination of the coax cable to the F female connector
on the bottom of the antenna, then set the antenna on the
surface in a way that both screws enter into the holes that
you drilled earlier.
Avvitate il connettore F maschio presente all’estremità del
cavo al connettore F femmina presente nel basamento
dell’antenna, quindi posizionate l’antenna sulla supercie
in modo che le viti entrino nei due fori creati in precedenza.
