Placement of Combination and Internal Access

When dealing with combination antennas such as the internal antennas in the TL-3600, it

is more important to consider GPS performance over cellular communications

performance. GPS signal strengths are much lower than those typically seen by cellular

networks supported by the TL3600. In order to maximize the performance, the TL-3600

should have as a clear view of the sky as possible. When installing the GPS antenna in a

system, make sure that there are as few obstructions as possible close to the TL-3600

that might block the view 360° to the horizon. As with stand-alone GPS antennas,

nothing should not block the combination antenna beyond 5° above the horizon with the

best location being near the center of the canopy.

Normally the TL-3600 label should be oriented with the label facing upwards toward the

sky. It is not recommended to mount the TL-3600 perpendicular to the horizon but it may

be acceptable depending on the unit has a good view of the sky. It is recommended to

run few tests on the actual engine equipment based on the LED lights (GREEN) and see

how long it takes to go SOLID in different orientations or by measuring the signal

strength using the serial port on the TL-3600.
