Introduction
| Electrical Safety Note
This product contains an active GPS/GNSS antenna (part number SR8-HG26-04FJ).
Rated voltage: 3-5VDC Rated current: 20mA maximum.
The supply to this device must be provided with overcurrent protection of
1A maximum.

Mounting Requirements and Selecting Location
The GPSCO antenna is designed to be fitted on or under a vehicle dashboard, located as far forward as possible to optimise view to the sky. When fitting under the panel, a position should be selected to ensure there is no metal close to the antenna inside the panel.
The optimum orientation for the antenna is to be fitted flat with the UP side
facing towards the sky.
It can also fitted on or under any other non-metallic panel in a position that
allows adequate view of the sky to enable satellite acquisition.
The antenna can be fitted to a vehicle window, but it is important to note that GPS/GNSS performance will be reduced on a window that has a small angle of incline or is vertical. The UP side must be facing the outside of the window.
Note that the antenna should not be fitted to a fine wire mesh type heated
window or heat reflective type glass
The antenna location should ensure that the front curved face of the antenna
is a minimum 10cm (2”) away from any metal structure.
The antenna must not be fitted adjacent to or in near proximity of one of the vehicle electronic control units (ECU).
Mounting the Antenna
Note: It is recommended that the installation is carried out when the temperature is over 50°F (10°C) as the ideal temperature for the adhesive pad bonding is 70°F (21°C)to 100°F (37°C).
Before fitting, ensure that both the antenna face and mounting surface are clean and free of grease use the supplied alcohol swab and allow the cleaned surfaces to dry before fitting the adhesive pad.(on the correct side, to ensure the UP side is facing the sky) and apply adequate pressure to adhere.
Remove the protective backing from the antenna pad, position the antenna and apply adequate pressure to ensure that it has adhered correctly.
Routing and Terminating Coaxial Cable(s)
Route the coaxial cables away from the antenna, taking care that the cables do not apply stress to the antenna mounting. Observe a minuimum bend radius of 25mm when installing the CS29 (Cell/LTE) and CS32 (WIFI) cables. The cables should be routed so that they do not interfere with any moving vehicle components.
The cables must not be routed in front of any airbag devices note that these may be located behind the windscreen pillar trim and the side of the roof head lining, depending on vehicle specification.
Commission and test
Check LTE/Cellular and WiFi cable(s):
- Carry out VSWR check both feeds should measure <2.5:1.
Check GPS/GNSS cable:
- Check the GPS/GNSS cable with DC to measure high resistance.
- Connect the cable to the GPS/GNSS receiver and check for satellite acquisition.
