Where should I install the B200?

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.
