Additional guidelines to follow include:
Mount the antenna in a horizontal position facing the sky, as
shown in Figure 2.5.
If the antenna must be located in the vicinity of other antennas
(radio, cellular phone), locate the GPS antenna at least 46 cm
(approximately 18 in.) away.
Avoid areas of high vibration (for example, engine hoods).
For permanent installations, choose a location with access both
above and below the antenna-mounting surface. This access is
required for installing fasteners and for routing the antenna
cable.
Note The standard length of magnetic-mount and bulkhead-
mount GPS antenna cables supplied by Trimble is 5 m
(approximately 16 ft.). Longer bulkhead-mount antenna cables
can be prepared by the installer using the guidelines presented
in Appendix A.
