1. After a location is found, peel the template label from the backing and apply the label
to the mounting area.
2. Drill a hole in one area of the cutout area that will allow the blade of a jigsaw to be
inserted. Insert and cutout the area on the panel using the jigsaw.
3. Next drill the four holes required to insert the CP590 with the mounting studs.
4. Install the mounting studs on the CP590 and insert into the mounting hole.

2.3 EXTERNAL GPS ANTENNA MOUNTING

This antenna is designed to be mounted on a base, installed on an extension or even flush
mounted.

Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky and is not located within
3ft of a Radar or other transmitting antennas. Ensure there are no major obstructions or
fixtures in the immediate proximity to the antenna. The antenna relies on direct “line of sight”
satellite reception. If you are unsure of the chosen location, temporarily mount the antenna
in the desired location to verify correct operation. If mounted close to Radar, after the CP590
has a fix, turn on the Radar to ensure the CP590 holds the fix (use the GPS Status page).
The thread used on the antenna is an industry standard (1inch 14TPI) used on a wide range
of mounting brackets.
NOTE
The antenna cable can be cut and spliced to ease installation. Care must be taken when
reconnecting the antenna cable to protect from water and corrosion.
