For an ideal mounting of the antenna we prepared 3 different drilling pictures with a
diameter of 2 mm in the bottom of the radome. For a good and steady mounting of the
antenna we recommend the drilling picture 228.6 mm x 228.6 mm. Please refer to the
included template for the drilling measurements (see bottom from below!). The drilling
holes have the size of
∅ 8.5 – 9 mm. We recommend to start with drilling a smaller hole,
using a
∅
3.5 – 4 mm bit to avoid any damage to the mounting surface. To mount the
antenna, only use the included M8 mounting screws!
Possible measurements:
228.6 mm x 228.6 mm , 127.0 mm x 127.0 mm, and 134.2 mm x 77.5 mm
!! If the antenna unit is not mounted on a device carrier or separate mounting plate, close
all drilled holes with waterproof sealing material to avoid any water penetrating!
2.8 Mounting the antenna unit
The antenna unit has to be mounted on a solid and steady surface. Take care that the cable
lengths are sufficient - the antenna unit must have an unobstructed view to the satellite and
that there are no interfering fields (especially mobile communication antennas) nearby. Place
the antenna unit on the pre-drilled holes and fasten it with the included screws and washers.
The screws have to be screwed in from below through the mounting surface into the radome.
!! Close all drilled holes with waterproof sealing material to avoid any water penetrating!
2.9 System cable connections
!! Break the contact of the circuit on which you are working to avoid a short circuit of the
system.
• The antenna cable must be connected to the control unit and the antenna unit,
(cable type 1).
• The power supply cable to the power distributor and the antenna unit.
• The receiver cable to the control unit and the receiver, (cable type 1).
!! See system overview and illustration details, chapter 7.6.1 and at the end of the manual.
Lead the cable through the drilled holes and seal it with waterproof sealing material.
Furthermore, drip loops should precede the entry point from the exterior to avoid any water
penetrating. See illustration below:
