Pole-mounting the GA 38 Antenna
With the pole-mount adapter attached to the GA 38 antenna, you can install the antenna on a standard 1 in. OD (14 threads per inch) pipe-
threaded-pole marine mount (not included). You can run the cable through the pole or outside the pole.
To mount the GA 38 with the cable run outside the pole:
1. Route the cable through the pole-mount adapter, and place the cable in the vertical slot along
the base of the pole-mount adapter.
2. Thread the pole-mount adapter onto a standard 1 in. OD (14 threads per inch) pipe-threaded-
pole marine mount (not included). Do not overtighten the adapter.
3. Connect the cable to the GA 38 antenna.
4. Place the GA 38 antenna on the pole-mount adapter
and twist the antenna clockwise to lock
it in place
.
5. Secure the antenna to the adapter with the included M3 set screw
.
6. (Optional) With the GA 38 installed on the pole mount, ll the remaining gap in the vertical
cable slot with a marine sealant.
7. Attach the marine pole mount to the boat if it is not already attached.
8. Route the cable away from sources of electronic interference, and connect it to the AIS 600
using the BNC connector.
To mount the GA 38 with the cable run through the pole:
1. Position a standard 1 in. OD (14 threads per inch) pipe-threaded-pole marine mount (not included) in the preferred location, and mark the
approximate center of the pole.
2. Drill a
3

Connecting a VHF Antenna to the AIS 600
To transmit and receive AIS information, the AIS 600 must be connected to a VHF antenna (not included).
Connect a marine VHF antenna to the AIS 600 using the antenna port on the rear panel of the device. If you have a VHF radio on your boat,
connect the VHF antenna to the AIS 600, and connect the VHF radio to the AIS 600 using the RF interconnect cable according to the wiring
layout diagrams starting on page 3. Mount the antenna according to the installation instructions provided with the antenna.
Connecting the AIS 600 to a NMEA 2000 Network (Optional)
You can connect the AIS 600 to a NMEA 2000-compliant chartplotter using your existing NMEA 2000 network, or you can build a basic
NMEA 2000 network if you do not have one on your boat. For more information on NMEA 2000, and to purchase required cables and
connectors, go to www.garmin.com.
The AIS 600 wiring layout diagram on page 3 contains an example of the AIS 600 connected to Garmin chartplotter through a NMEA 2000
network.
NOTE: If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, see the “NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals” chapter of the Technical Reference for Garmin
NMEA 2000 Products for more information. Go to www.garmin.com/garmin/cms/us/onthewater/nmea2000, and click on the “Manuals”
hyperlink.
