Installing the system (continued)
b.
Find a suitable onboard location for the C-pod
The C-pod should be installed in a well hidden and dry place onboard. Other
factors that must be considered are cellular (GSM) network and GPS signal
reception, access to constant power supply and cable lengths for the supplied
equipment.
The C-pod main unit is designed to be mounted vertically with antennas fac-
ing downwards. A different orientation may affect the cellular (GSM) network
signal quality and moisture protection.
The cellular (GSM) network antenna is attached directly to the unit and must
be well above the water line. Avoid places shielded from cellular (GSM) net-
work signals, e.g. inside metal boxes, enclosed in carbon fiber etc.
The C-pod must have a constant power supply to protect your boat even when
other equipment is turned off by the battery isolation switch. Make sure that
there is an appropriate power source within the range of the power cable.
c.
Mount the equipment & connect the parts
Attach the twist-on fastener in the desired location using two screws or bolts.
Secure the C-pod unit by centering the unit’s mounting point to the guiding
pin on the fastener and twisting clockwise
or
counter-clockwise until the unit
is locked in place. To detach the C-pod unit, twist in any direction to release it
from the fastener.
