Cable Glands
All cable glands must be properly sealed to prevent water ingress and preserve the IP67 enclosure
rating. If a cable gland is not used, a short cylindrical stopper is recommended. Otherwise, a small
amount of non-conductive silicone adhesive can be used around the cable at the point where the glands
tighten down from the outside of the enclosure.
Antenna Placement
The included low-profile antennas can be placed under most decks or externally, however, the included
Iridium antenna cable length is only about 3 feet, whereas the included GPS cable length is
approximately 10 feet. The included antenna cabling is more easily susceptible to nearby electrical
interference, and thus, should be kept away from any power or signal cables. In addition, nearby large
extremities should be avoided, including solar panels.
A good mounting location can include under the bow deck, in T-Top ceiling compartments, and in cabins
where the antennas can be mounted beneath the deck walkways, but connectivity should always be
evaluated with
If additional length, external mounting, or better shielding is wanted, the optional high-performance
low-profile antennas and shielded LMR cables should be used. While the included low-profile antennas
are ideal for covert installs, the optional compact high-performance antennas can also be installed
under the deck/lockers, flush mounted, mast mounted, and more, as shown below.
