Mounting and Connecting Standard GPS Receiver
u
For best results, mount the GPS antenna to an outside wall
or to a mast on the roof with a clear view of the sky.
a. The location should be unobstructed by trees, branches,
power lines and other buildings, etc.
b. Avoid installing the GPS antenna near high power
transmitting antennas.
c. To avoid lightning strikes, the location should not be the
highest point and such that any lightning rods are well
above the antenna.
d. The GPS antenna is environmentally sealed, but in
colder climates, mount the antenna high enough to
avoid getting buried by snow or ice.
e. While not ideal, skylights or windowsills are possible
locations. Avoid installation behind Low-Emissivity
(Low-E) glass as the GPS signal has difficulty
penetrating such glass.
