INSTALLATION
GUIDE

INSTALLATION GUIDE SPECIFICATION SHEET
1. Mounting location: The TA50 can be mounted either internally or
externally. The antenna must be mounted in a location that will
assure the best possible (360º at the horizon) unobstructed view
of the GPS satellite constellation in level flight –for example, on
the roof of the aircraft or on top of the glare shield.
2. Ensure that the surface area where the antenna is to be mounted
is clean and free from dust or grease.
3. Stick the included adhesive pad to the base of the antenna. Peel
off the other side of the pad and position the antenna in the
desired location, pressing down firmly to permanently attach.
4. Route the cable to the GPS receiver, taking care to avoid
locations where it may rub or trap controls.
