Locate and familiarise yourself with all parts making up the AE2000 system listed below
Very careful consideration should be given to the best
mounting position for the AE2000. Television signals
rapidly fall in strength once the line of sight distance is
exceeded, so to give the best reception range, the AE2000
should be mounted as high as possible. This would
normally be above the flybridge on motor cruisers or at
spreader or masthead height on cruising yachts.
Many modern vessels have a targa arch which is an ideal
location for GPS, radar and TV antennas. If the AE2000 is
to be mounted on an arch or similar elevated flat surface,
the 450 mm mast, second moulded base and slope
adjusting spacers supplied can be utilised.
If the methods described above are not practical, an
alternative might be to mount the AE2000 on a 3-4 metre
25 mm (1”) diameter alloy or stainless tube from the
vessels stern.
The AE2000 provides two alternative methods for
connection of the coaxial cable downlead. The cable can
be protected and kept out of sight by running it inside
the mounting tube. A screw and clamp type connection is
provided inside the dome for this purpose. Alternatively,
the weatherproof ‘F’ connector fitted to the downlead
supplied can be screwed to the outlet on the underside
of the AE2000 and the cable routed external to the
mounting tube.
If you choose to run the cable up the inside of the support
tube, the fitted waterproof connector must be cut off and
the co-axial cable connected to the amplifier PCB as in
diagram 1 and 2.
The hand assembly connector (supplied) is to be fitted to
the pre-trimmed end of the coaxial cable (as in diagram
3) and screwed into the AE2000 power injector (also
supplied).
A 1.5 metre long, white coaxial lead is provided to
connect from the AE2000 DC Injector to the TV Receiver’s
Antenna Socket.
If you wish to use the AE2000 for FM Radio reception,
you may purchase a GME accessory kit (part number
SPL001).
