Please note the following guidelines when selecting an installation
location:
- The ambient temperature around the transceiver should be
maintained between -25°C and +55°C.
The transceiver should not be located in a flammable or
hazardous atmosphere, such as in an engine room or near to
fuel tanks. - The transceiver must be fitted in a location where it is at least
0.2m from a compass or any magnetic device.
The transceiver should be mounted in a location where the
LED indicators are readily visible as they provide important
information on the status of the transceiver. - WiFi & Bluetooth will benefit from the B200 being installed
near the center of the boat to provide a consistent signal
across all areas. The construction of your vessel can also have
an impact on performance. For example, metal structural bulk
heads and roofing, power cables and reflective surfaces can
reduce, and in certain situations block, the signal. Consider
testing the reception to ensure you’re happy before you
mount the transceiver. - For optimum performance the transceiver should be mounted
at least 0.5m away from other high power transmitting
equipment like VHF radios. - There should be adequate space around the transceiver for
routing of cables.
