4 AirSpeed 1000 Installation
AirSpeed 1000 offers two optional methods for outdoor mounting using the included mounting kit,
either:
 Pole Mounting
 Wall mounting
The AirSpeed 1000 Mounting Kit - includes a pole/wall mounting bracket for fastening the unit to a
pole or on a wall. Prior to installation of the AirSpeed unit the mounting bracket must first be affixed in
place on either the pole or a wall.
Note: AirSpeed 1000 comes with the GPS pre-assembled.
Caution: Proper local rigging and hoisting practices should be followed when installing the AirSpeed
1000.
4.1 Connecting the GPS Antenna
The following describes the connection of the GPS antenna which is installed directly to the top of the
unit.
1. Unscrew the protective dust cap from the GPS antenna jack prior to mounting the GPS on the
AirSpeed-1000 unit.
2. Align the GPS jack with the plug attached to the top panel on the unit.
3. Attach the GPS antenna to the TNC connector on the unit.

Caution: Take care not to over tighten so as not to damage the threads.
Note: It is good practice to weather-proof all the antenna connections. This is done with a layer of
self-amalgamating tape followed by an over layer of PVC tape. See Weather-proofing Antenna
Connections.
4.2 Pole Mounting Assembly
Caution: Mount the AirSpeed 1000 unit in an orientation such that its Ethernet port (located on the
bottom) face downwards. This prevents rain water from settling on the port, and thereby, avoiding
damage to the unit such as corrosion and electrical short–circuiting.
