Mounting the GPS receiver module on a metal tower or mast
If mounting the GPS receiver module on a metal tower or mast (
Figure 2-17
), select a
position that meets the following requirements:
•
It must not be mounted any higher than is necessary to receive an adequate
signal from four GPS satellites.
•
It must be protected by a nearby lightning air terminal that projects further out
from the tower than the GPS receiver module.
•
It must meet all the requirements stated in
Protection requirements for a mast or
tower installation
