Before you begin, consider the following
installation guidelines:
Minimize blockage. The antenna requires a
clear view of the sky to receive satellite TV
(see Figure 2). The fewer obstructions, the
better the system will perform.
Make sure the mounting surface is wide
enough to accommodate the antenna’s base
(see Figure 3). Also make sure it is flat, level
(within ±2°), strong enough to support the
antenna’s weight (18 lbs/8.2 kg), and rigid
enough to withstand vibration.
Custom mounting solutions, including struts
and masts, are available from several third-
party manufacturers. Contact your local KVH
dealer or distributor for details.
KVH recommends that you do not mount the
antenna on the same level as the radar,
because the radar’s energy might overload
the antenna.
Be sure to mount the antenna near enough to
the supplied interface box belowdecks to
allow you to connect the 50-ft. (15 m) coaxial
cable between the antenna and the interface
box, while still maintaining sufficient slack in
the cable.
When choosing a location for the interface
box and receiver, find a dry, well-ventilated
area belowdecks away from any heat sources
or salt spray. Also be sure the interface box
front panel will be easily accessible to the
user.

Do not shorten or extend the antenna cable.
Since the cable carries data, power, and
communications, the integrity of this cable
and its connections is very important.
