DOME LOCATION
1. Select an area on the vessel for the dome unit, keeping in mind that most times the wiring
will enter the vessel through the surface directly beneath the dome unit (see
Fig. 7
for
typical installations). Use the following criteria:
a) The shortest distance between the dome unit and the main satellite receiver is most
desirable.
b) The dome unit requires a 16.5“ diameter
mounting area on the vessel surface.
You may also use an industry standard mount.
(Call King Controls or visit www.kingcontrols.com
for more information.)
Exact hole spacing is
shown at right. Distances are to centers of
holes.
c) The dome unit should never be mounted so that it is tilted more than two degrees
in any direction.
d) Keep the dome unit as far away from the radar as possible, and if possible above
the level of the radar.
e) The dome unit should be mounted as close as possible to the center of the vessel
(fore-aft and side to side).
f)
The mounting surface must be strong enough not to flex under the weight of the
unit or from vessel vibrations.
g) There must be no “line of sight” obstructions from this location. Items such as
masts or radar antennas that are too close to the dome unit may prevent the
satellite signal from reaching the dish
