Mount GPS Antenna
Note: The Base Station GPS Antenna mounting position must be in a sturdy, unmovable place. This can be on top of
a sturdy building or on a solid pole near the ground. We do not recommend mounting this antenna on a tower or grain
leg as they generally are not sturdy enough to prevent movement.
Note: The GPS Antenna must have a clear view of the sky. If there is going to be an obstruction, it is best to place the
GPS Antenna on the south side of the obstruction in the northern hemisphere and on the north side of it on the
southern hemisphere. Position the antenna as far away from the obstruction as possible.
Note: Do not mount the Base Station GPS Antenna adjacent to large metal structures, next to towers, or any guy wires
that can reflect the GPS signals and cause interference and multiplexing.
