    V9112 MARINE MASTERThis, the most popular Glomex TV Antenna, hasbeen chosen as standard equipment by all majorboat builders worldwide. New for the 2000, arevolutionary state of the art antenna element andamplifiers produces exceptional performanceon all channels, including the lower VHFfrequencies. Also, it allows to receiveradio programs using the dueaccessories.In order to ensure lifelong service andprotection fromthe harsh marineenvironment thereare no active componentsin the antenna and the radome is made of UVresistant, injection moulded white nylon. The new power supply/amplifiers are designedspecifically for boats and can accept an input fromdockside cable, a satellite receiver or VCR(V9112/00). It features an exclusive bypass(V9112/00) that allows the TV set to use theantenna only for receiving in strong signal areasthus avoiding the attenuation of the signalintroduced on the TV set when the amplifier is notfitted (min gain). Also the A/B switch (Version9112/AB) allows the other television systemsexisting on board like the cable, the dock and thesatellite antenna to integrate into one system onlyavoiding two different plants in order to savemoney.

    GROUND PLATES

    Glomex Synthesized spherical bronze Ground plates are the necessary interface between electric andelectronic board devices and the dissipator element: water. The Bronze micro-spheres realize a hugecontact surface with the dissipator element (water), given by the sum of the surfaces of all the bronzespheres; in fact, supported by the porosity of each ground plate, water penetrates into the plates touchingthe surface of all the spheres. This kind of construction provides more efficiency than the smooth groundplates. Glomex Ground Plates are provided with bolt and spacers done with the same material (bronze)used for the plates, in order to avoid electro-corrosion phenomena.

    COAXIAL CABLESCoaxial cables transmit signals to and from theantenna.The coax cables depending from the length and thefrequency insert an attenuation.Poor quality cables will dramatically reduce theefficiency of both antenna transceivers.

    DURABILITYAll coaxial cables can lose efficiency over time dueto humidity, as quickly as just a few months afterinstallation.Glomex cables are specifically designed andmanufactured for use in the marine environment to

    withstand the negative effects of humidity as longas possible.

    SCREENINGScreening of the coaxial cables is the primarydeterminant of signal quality.All Glomex coaxial cables have 100% screening ormeet the mil C17 spec.

    GENERAL

    Transmitting and/or receivingequipments include three distinctparts, all equally important.These are: the transceiver, thecoaxial cable with its connectorscarrying the signal to or from theantenna, the antenna itself.To the present day cables,connectors and antennas oftendo not get the attention theydeserve. Yet, their functionalityhas a notable effect on theperformance of the whole system.A wrong antenna, poor qualitycoax cable or a low qualityconnector can waste the moneyspent for good equipment and acareful installation. At everyfrequency, besides being freefrom obstacles, the antenna hasto meet precise electrical andelectronic requirements.Glomex has always made everyeffort to develop design andmanufacturing qualities toimprove antenna performance;besides complying with existinginternational standards. Thismeans better performance of theentire transceiver system. Whenchoosing an antenna, it isadvisable to discuss with yourdealer, about all the problemsconnected with the installationand the type of transceiver. Thiswill let you tackle any problemsbefore they arise. In case this sortof advice is not available, theinformation provided belowshould be helpfull in selecting theright antenna.

    decrease gradually their gain,increasing their inclination;furthermore the factor is influ-enced by the frequency, gainlosses are greater with highfrequences and progressivelydiminish reducing the frequency.Accordingly with the greatmajority of the stations, the TVantennas have a horizontalpolarization, it is thereforenecessary to install them in sucha position.The incidence of motion is lessevident with the omnidirectionalmodels; the directional modelshave a reception angle max 50°that gives excellent performanceif the antennas are correctlyoriented but can easily loose thesignal due to rolling, pitching orinclination.All this means television antennasmust be installed horizontally andother antennas vertical as muchas you can.

    MOUNTS, ACCESSORIESAND INSTALLATION

    Quite often the importance ofaccessories and installation isneglected. Glomex accessoriesare carefully conceived to offerthe correct solution to anyinstallation problem.They are the result of longexperience and testing, withspecial attention to the newtechnologies and to the needs ofthe utilizers. This catalogprovides all the information forthe correct choice, your dealerand technician can provideprecise specifications.

    HEIGHT

    For VHF and UHF transmissions,range, the higher the antenna ispositioned, better are theperformances.Following such instructions it willbe easy to make the right choice,original Glomex cables andaccesories as well as the correctinstallation will be then decisivefactors for obtaining the bestresult.

    GAIN

    It is the most important specs ofthe antenna. It is indicated in DB;at higher figure corresponds agreater range.On the other hand, a high gaindecreases the radiation pattern;this means that low gainantennas are less influenced byrolling and pitching of a boat;increasing the gain, themovement of the boat may causea temporary signal's reduction.These are the reasons why onplaning boats it is suggested toinstall high gain antennas, whileon sailboats, with the mastheadsubject to swaying, the bestwould be, when ever possible anantenna ground plane (RA108).

    POLARIZATION

    Each antenna has its own polar-ization, and also its preferentialworking plane, to be respectedas much as possible.For example VHF, SSB, Loran, CBand cell-phone antennas have avertical polarization and

    COAX CABLE CUTTING

    Cutting the Glomex antennacoax cable is no problem, justremember that a shorter cableenhance the performance of theantenna.The cable can be cut following asimple rule, do not cut the cableless than 2 mts (7’) on VHFantenna. Avoid to cut the cableon C.B. antennas any problemto cut the coax on TV antennas.

    DC GROUND

    It’s referred to the design of theantenna, for avoiding staticelectricity buildup on the antennaelement, in order to reduce thenoises on the receiver. Whentested with an ohm-meter allGlomex VHF, CELL-PHONE andCB antennas will show continuity.ALL GLOMEX VHF AND CBANTENNAS HAVE A BUILT-INGROUND.

    SWR (Stationary Wave Return)

    All the SWR ratios indicated inthis catalog depend uponantenna location on the boat. Allantennas have to be clear in alldirections and at least 1 meteraway from metallic parts. TheSWR, when tested, should notexceed 1:1,3 with the antennainstalled on the boat.

    The best position for the antennais to center it as low as possibleat the center of the boat.
