3.2 Mounting the Smart Antenna
The smart antenna is designed for a pole mount, as illustrated in
Figure 3-1. The threaded socket in the base of the antenna accepts a
standard 1"-14 straight thread. A wide variety of 1"-14 pole mounts
are available from marine hardware suppliers.
After obtaining an appropriate mounting pole, follow these simple
steps to install the Acutime 2000 GPS smart antenna.
1. Secure the mounting pole to a solid structure so that it is
oriented vertically.
2. Thread the smart antenna onto the pole or pipe and hand-
tighten until snug.
"
Caution – Do not over-tighten the smart antenna on the pole or use a
tool—this could damage the threaded socket in the base of the
antenna. Also, do not use a thread-locking compound because it can
damage the plastic housing.
3. Connect the interface cable to the smart antenna.
The connector on the interface connector has a locking ring
for securing the connection.
"
Caution – Do not over-tighten the locking ring—this can strip the
connector.
