3.2 - Installing the antenna
3.2.1 - Selecting an installation location
The antenna should be installed externally, with the maximum
possible sky visibility. For most installations, the ideal location will
be the roof of your building (the antenna is able to withstand extreme
temperatures, excessive vibration, rain, snow and sunlight).
Ideally, the antenna should have a clear uninterrupted 360º view of
the horizon. For installations where an unobstructed view of the sky
is not practical, the antenna should be installed with as large a view
as possible of the sky towards the equator. Installing the antenna
with a substantially reduced view of the sky will degrade system
performance and may increase synchronisation time.
3.2.2 - Mounting the antenna
The antenna should be mounted with the top of the dome facing
directly upwards and secured using the stainless steel surface mount
antenna bracket. Care should be taken to ensure the fixings used (not
supplied) are suitable for the application. Figure 3.2 below details the
antenna mount fixing dimensions.

3.2.3 - The antenna cable
The GPS6000-PRO is supplied as standard with an 8m (26ft)
pre-terminated RG-58C/U TNC to TNC coaxial cable for connection to
the lightning arrester. Longer antenna cables are optionally available
if required.
