Page 7 of 15
3.0 BBWX2 Installation
The BBWX2 does not come standard with a Sirius satellite antenna or antenna cable. These
must be purchased separately. The BBWX2 is compatible with two Shakespeare antenna
models:
SRA-40
SRA 25
Furuno USA carries the following:
WX1-005-003 Shakespeare SRA-40 antenna
WX1-005-004 25’ BBWX2 Antenna Cable
For installations that require longer cable lengths you may contact your local Shakespeare
outlet for options.
3.1 Mounting Considerations
The BBWX2 can be mounted on a desktop or a bulkhead. When choosing a mounting
location, keep in mind the following points:
Locate the unit well away from areas subject
to water splash, rain and direct sunlight
Locate the unit away from the vessel engines
or where fuel vapor may be present
Locate the unit in an environment inside the
operating and storage temperature ranges
The power cable supplied is 3.0 meters,
however it can be extended up to 20 meters.
If bulkhead mounting, the cables should
protrude out the bottom, not the top. This will
prevent any possible water (moisture) from
wicking into the unit from the cables.
Note: The Antenna and Receiver/Switch should be mounted away from electromagnetic
interference (e.g. >1.5 meters away from an AIS or radio transmitter, >2.0 meters away from
Radar, >1.8 meters from a compass).
Fix the unit to the mounting location with the two self-tapping screws provided (as shown
above).
