Choosing the Mounting LocationFor accurate readings and a reliable GPS signal, selecting the best location forthe WeatherStation Instrument is very important. Easy access and appearanceshould be secondary considerations. Since each installation is unique, the bestseparation distances will vary depending on the surroundings and the particularequipment and how it is configured. Choose a location that balances therequirements below:• The WeatherStation Instrument must be mounted in “clear air”, away fromobstructions in any direction that will interfere with air flowing through the unit. Ifthere is an obstruction, be sure to mount the WeatherStation Instrument at least2m (6') away. On land, avoid obstructions such as roofs, chimneys, trees, etc.• If possible, mount the WeatherStation Instrument higher than any other object.Mount it a minimum of 500mm (20") above the surrounding surfaces.NOTE: The higher the WeatherStation Instrument is mounted, the less accuratethe pitch and roll readings will be.• To prevent interference to the internal magnetic compass:- Mount a minimum of 0.3m (1') from other standard and steering compasses.- Mount a minimum of 1m (3') from any structures or equipment that containsferrous metals.- Mount a minimum of 1m (3') from anything that may create a magnetic fieldsuch as magnetized materials, electric motors, electronic equipment,engines, generators, power/ignition cables, and batteries. For distances,follow the respective manufacturer’s recommendations.• To prevent interference to the internal GPS (Figure 2):- It must have a clear view of the sky to receive satellite signals. A 120° view isoptimal. Check for any obstructions such as other boats or buildings.- Mount it as far as possible from high-powered transmitting antennas to avoidmutual interference.- Mount it lower than any Inmarsat communications antenna.- Mount above or below any radar beam. Do not mount within a radar beam.WeatherStationMin. 2mMin.1.5mMin. 2mmetal surfaceantenna insulatorFigure 2. Antennas11
