Installation Notes

• Mounting a TV antenna next to or just above a flat metal surface may cause “ghosting” on the picture.
• Keep clear the antenna from any obstructions.
• Do NOT bend the coax cable in a radius less than 21/2”.
• Use screw-up wire ties to secure to bulkheads
• Do NOT staple coax to bulkhead

TWIST-ON F CONNECTOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

COAX SPLICING

Splicing Installation Notes: It is always better to run new coax cable of the proper length and quality, as the 20 mts supplied with the antenna, without splices. This will provide the best performance from your Glomex TV antenna. The coax cable should never be spliced wire-wire. When splicing with connectors, use only 75 Ohm connectors only. Remember each splice represents again loos of + 1.5 d.B or more.

“F” CONNECTION INSTALLATION FOR V9125/12 – V9112/12 – V9150/12 – V9126

A tool to connect the“F”connector is included in your pack.

1.  Slip tool over coax with “nut end” toward the connector. Make sure the coax cable is fed throughout the mount before connection is made.
2.  Slide the tool over the connector.
3.  Turn the connector to attach it to the receptacle inside the antenna base.
4.  Remove the tool and mount the antenna on the boat mount.

Amplifier Installation Notes

1.  Amplifiers should be mounted in a dry well ventilated area.
2. Mount amplifiers in an accessible location to allow access to the gain control knob on the front.
3. Make sure all connections are secure so they do not become loose underway.
4. For bulkhead mounting use a 90° “F” connector.

FEATURES AND OPERATION

Optional Inputs

V9112/12 – V9126 By-Pass
When the amplifier is in “by-pass” the system eliminates the amplifier and the antenna feeds directly to the TV. Use this function when you are very close to a transmitter tower.

V9112/12 – V9126 Shore Connections
By turning to the “shore” area of the dial, a DDS system or VCR will be the “feeding” input.

SHARK FIN INSTALLATION FOR V9125/12 – V9112/12 – V9150/12

Thanks to vertical antenna inside the “shark fin”, Nashira and Talitha can receive TV signals vertically polarized. Put the O-ring in the hole on the radome (fig. 1 e fig. 2). Screw the “shark fin” in the hole (fig. 3) clockwise and in perpendicular position (fig. 4). Screw it (about 7 turns for Nashira and 6 turns for Talitha) (fig. 5) until it is well tighte-ned by the rib in relief (fig. 6).

Installation Trouble Shooting Guide for TV antennas

• Where I best to install my new Glomex Antenna?
  Your antenna should be mounted free and clear of any obstruction and as high as possible.

• If I mount it on a radar arch, will the array interfere with the reception?
  Yes and on the other way around. Make sure that the Glomex dome is either above or bellow the radar array and never on the same “plane” as the array.

• What cable should I use?
  It is important to use only RG6 Twin Screen low loss cable. We recommend that you use only a DSS quality cable.

• How can I tell if a cable is either low loss or not?
  A high-quality low loss cable will have a white foam center insulator where a lower grade of cable will be opaque and solid.

• What type of connector should I use?
  Use only “F” gold connectors for TV wire 6.8 mm or a wire with the same diameter of the used one.

• How do I get the “F” connector into the base of the antenna?
  Included in your Glomex Marine TV Antenna package is a flack plastictool; this tool is designed to slide over the coax and grip the connector so it maybe twisted on.

• Where should the amplifier be installed?
  The amplifier should be installed in a dry well ventilated place that provides easy access to the gain A/B switch built into the unit.

• What if I don’t want to cut my bulkhead to install the amplifier?
  Included in your package there is black bulkheads mount to install that will accommodate the amplifier, you will still need to drill a hole to accommodate the entry of the coax connections.

• What power supply will need to power my amplifier?
  You can use either a12 V dc or you can purchase the V9117 220 V dc power adapter.

• Is there any difference between powering with 12 Volt or 220 V?
  It depends upon the model you purchase: V9125/12TV – 1 TV set V9112/12 – 2 TV sets (up to 4 sets if no cable length exceeds 15 feet), V9150/12 – 6 TV sets.

• Is it possible to connect an AM/FM radio to my Glomex TV antenna?
  Yes, by installing a TV/AM/FM splitter.

• Can the Glomex TV antenna be damaged by lighting?
  No because of its unique design and no active parts in the dome; so it won’t attract it.  Anyway, if it fall down very close to the boat it might damage it.My antenna is experiencing a lot of “ghosting”. Check and make sure that it is not mounted on a flat metal surface as this will cause reflection of the signal and thus “ghosting”, or move the antenna through the remote control to attenuate the reflexions.

• In a sailing boat, is the masthead the only place where I can mount the antenna?
  It is the best place to install it. Make sure you use a Glomex V9173TV masthead bracket for your installation.

• I have installed the antenna and I don’t get the local station. What should I do?
  First, gather a list of the broadcasting station that you should receive in that area. Next, pick a channel, move the antenna through the remote control and regulate the gain to get the best images. If you use a Digital Terrestrial Decoder go to menu, select signal research and move the antenna up to get a good quality signal.

• Why do I have to adjust the gain control?
  In the marine you have many different factors affecting your reception. If you are very close to a broadcast tower you will need less gain if any. The further you are from the tower, the more gain you will need. In a marina with a lot of sailboats and larger yachts, you will have a lot of signal reflections and you will have the ability to adjust the gain accordingly.I can see no difference in the picture when I adjust the gain control. Check and make sure you have power going to the amplifier, (check your electrical panel and make sure the proper breaker is ON). I still get a lot of interferences in my pictures and I have adjusted the gain control accordingly. Go around your boat and check the connections you have installed. Make sure you have connected the connectors properly.

• How do I tell if I have installed a connector properly?
  Make sure that the central conductor is long enough to insert into the connector on the TV or amplifier. Also check and make sure there is no shield touching the center connector in the cable. If there is a “short” you will see a see a strand touching the center wire. I receive the pictures on the TV from the antenna but I cannot get my VCR / shore connection / Satellite to display on my TV. Make sure that the TV is set on the proper channel (UHF OR VHF) or video input line; furthermore check out there is not a thread touching the wire. Secondly, in case of the V9112/12 is in the “shore” position in the case of the V9112/SR (for Sea Ray owners) make sure the gain control is the “shore” position. I have a sailboat but my coax is not long enough to reach the point that I want to install my amplifier. You may connect an extension to the coax by using an F 75-Ohm connector. For every connection you put on line, you lose gain and thus degrade your reception. This holds true even with the proper connectors. We strongly recommend that you run a new coax that is the proper length. It may be more work but well worth it. I have decided to use the optional Glomex bulkhead mount but the coax fits tightly into the box.

• Is there a way to install this so the coax is not strained?
  It is recommended that 90° F connectors be attached to the amplifier, than the coax installed to the angle connectors.  I have a large number of TV and I cannot get good pictures.If you have more than 2 TV you should be using an inline amplifier to boast the signal through the boat. If you have a Glomex 50023 amplifier you should not run more than 2 tvs without the Glomex 50022/00 inline amplifier. Also, keep in mind you should not have cable runs longer then 15 ft from the amplifier if you have an extra TV..

Environment
