Manual for
Shipantennas AV 14N AV 15N AV 16N The ship antennas AV 14 to 16N are designed to receive radio and TV transmissions into I, II, II, IV, and V band. AV 15 and 16N models can also receive signal from the LMK band. Due to the special design to receive signals from all directions and its stable construction against the seawater, these antennas are the best solution for ships. The antenna is full filled with foam and the mounting construction is made with glass fibre and stainless steel screws. In order to guarantee a high watertightness, the antenna is connected with a coaxial cable that can not be changed. The antenna have an special preamplifier with a low noise factor, that is feeded by a main amplifier (for example LBS22-12P). The amplifier allows to supply 2 lines. There are two operating voltages: 220 / 110 VAC or 24 / 12 VDC.

Important notes for your safety Important Notes The antenna must be installed according to the instructions manual and taking all necessary cautions. If these conditions are not followed the manufacturers warranty will be limited or void. Please take all necessary safety steps when working with equipment that is connected to an electric power source. Please take care of yourself and the people around you. Is it necessary to read the complete manual? – Yes, we recommend it. For your Safety Caution: Do not open the housing: you may get an electric shock. - Equipment must be repaired by a professional. - No components require to be adjusted inside the antenna. - When you clean the equipment, first disconnect it from the power source. Never pull on the cable of the power supply. Try to pull the plug directly, otherwise the cable will be damaged. Be sure that it is well connected, because if not it has the potential to start a fire. A professional must repair defects like this quickly. Never install this equipment during a storm. Any TV equipment should be unplugged during a it. It is possible that a thunderbold can pass through the antenna cable and the metal parts of the unit and cause an electric shock. Use the amplifier only in a dry and well-ventilated environment. The build up of dust inside the unit can cause that it stop to work correctly. The danger is specially high if any fluids enter into this equipment.

Mounting The correct place for mount The antenna have to be mounted on the top of the mast, because it improves the signal reception and minimizes reflections from the ship. To reduce interferences generated by a ship radio, mount the antenna as far as you can from it.
Mount the antenna on the top of the mast The antenna must be placed over a vertical mast, with 38 to 48mm of diameter. The mast will be introduced 100mm into the bottom of the antenna. The coaxial cable must be placed into the mast. To do it, there must be a hole in one side of the mast. The antenna will be fixed to the mast by 3 ALLEN screws separated 120º.

Mounting
1. Pass the coaxial cable trough the mast.
2. Place the antenna over the top of the mast.
3. Fix the 3 Allen screws with the included Allen key.
4. Hold on the screws with a spanner or similar.

It depends on the combination Coaxial cable from antenna Connect the coaxial cable of the antenna to the amplifier. The minimum diameter of this cable must be 7mm. You can not use normal staples to fix the cable to the wall, if they press it. You can cut the coaxial cable to make it shorter, but remember that it is fixed inside the antenna.
Important: Pay attention that there is no part of the net in contact with the inner conductor cable, because it should produce a short that will not allow a correct signal transmission through the coaxial cable.

It depends on the combination Connecting the amplifier CAUTION ! Connect the amplifier to the power source, when you have made all the connections and selected the correct feeding voltage. You have 2 possibilities for feeding the amplifier:
1. You can feed the amplifier with the built-in power supply. To do it, select with the switch the voltage you prefer (220 or 110 VAC).
2. Over the DC-block, you can feed the amplifier with DC current. You can select 12 or 24 VDC.

It depends on the combination Connecting the amplifier to the antenna
The coaxial cable coming from the antenna will be connected through the connector IN.
The distribution network will be connected trough OUT outputs. Both output are equivalents.
