 Installation: General Advice
 Ensure you have everything (review the checklist).
 Choose suitable location for installing the OSM (beware of thrusters).
 Use a generator or good quality “Pure Sinewave” inverter,
 Avoid cheaper stepped/square sinewave inverters.
 Reduce interference by connecting both the generator and Deck Unit to
vessel earth
 Ensure the generator fuel tank is full and you have spare fuel.
 Ensure SVP batteries have adequate voltage.
 Highly advisable to perform the pre-deployment test before deploying
the over-side mount.
 For best results mount the MRU on the T-plate and NAV antennas on-
top of the OSM pole.
 Ensure offsets measured as accurately as possible.
 Ensure everything is secured tight.
