Connecting the system cables

Connecting the antenna

Note: It is good practice to coat the threads of all connectors

with a small amount of a suitable waterproof marine

sealant prior to securing them.

To connect the antenna:

1. Remove the protective cap from the

RF1 connector.

2. Connect the RF cable to the RF

connector and secure it using a 13 mm

spanner. Take care not to overtighten the

nut, as this will damage the connector.

Note: The base plate connectors must be suitably protected

from water ingress when the antenna unit is installed on

an open structure, e.g. a tuna tower.

Connecting the ACU

CAUTION

In-line fuse

If you do not have a breaker fitted in the power

circuit, an in-line 5 A quick-blow fuse should be

fitted to the positive (blue) lead of the power cable.

To connect the ACU:

1. Connect the RF cable from the RF1 connector on the

antenna to the ANT RF1 connector on the rear of the ACU.

2. Connect a 3m RF cable from the ‘RECEIVER’ connector on

the rear of the ACU to ‘RF’ on the IRD.

3. Connect the power cable to the rear of the ACU.

4. Connect the power cable to the 12 V DC power source.
