. INSTALLATION • A magnetic compass will be affected if the hub is placed too close to the compass. Observe the compass safe distances in the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS to prevent compass malfunction. 1.10 Junction Box (option) If the length of the antenna cable is more than 100 m, junction boxes are required. Install the boxes in a location protected from the weather, because their waterproofing standard is IPX3. Fasten the junction boxes to the mounting location with four sets of M8 bolts and nuts.

2. WIRING 2.1 Overview Cable considerations To lessen the chance of picking up electrical interference where possible, avoid routing the antenna cable (power and LAN lines) near other onboard electrical equipment (radars, TX radio antennas, etc.). Also avoid running the cable in parallel with power cables. When crossing with other cable, the angle must be 90° to minimize the magnetic field coupling.
2. WIRING 2.1.1 Standard wiring A Cat 5e LAN cable (RW-00135, RW00339) connects between the Antenna Unit (Power Supply Unit for FAR-2x58) and the Processor Unit. The maximum length of the cabling between the Processor Unit and the antenna unit is 80 m. Retrofit (using antenna cable RW-9600/4896) or foremast installation is also possible, with the installation of a pair of LAN Signal Converters, one in the antenna unit, the other in the Processor Unit. See section 2.10.
