Antenna mast and mounting base
To get the best performance from the antenna electronics and mechanics, the antenna must be
installed properly on a specially designed mast with suitable flange and rubber gasket. Below are
guidelines for installation of the mounting mast and mounting base.
The mounting base should be parallel to the ship's waterline (tolerance: ±3°).
Weld a ground bolt of stainless steel to the mast (figure below). Connect the ground wire from
the antenna unit to the ground bolt.
