Routing and connecting the antenna cable

Applicable receivers:  BD9250 | BD940 | BD940-INS | BD970 | BD982 | BD990 | BD992 | BD992-INS | BX940 | BX982 | BX992

  1. After mounting the antenna, route the antenna cable from the GPS antenna to the receiver.

    Avoid the following hazards when routing the antenna cable:

    • Sharp ends or kinks in the cable

    • Hot surfaces (such as exhaust manifolds or stacks)

    • Rotating or reciprocating equipment

    • Sharp or abrasive surfaces

    • Door and window jams

    • Corrosive fluids or gases

  2. After routing the cable, connect it to the receiver. Use tie-wraps to secure the cable at several points along the route. For example, to provide strain relief for the antenna cable connection, use a tie-wrap to secure the cable near the base of the antenna.

    NOTE – When securing the cable, start at the antenna and work towards the receiver.

  3. When the cable is secured, coil any slack. Secure the coil with a tie-wrap and tuck it in a safe place.

Dual-antenna receiver

 

Single-antenna receiver

1 GNSS receiver

2 MMCX connectors
