POSITIONING AND MOUNTING THE ANTENNA
Find a suitable position on the roof of your vehicle. Please ensure
that you have selected the correct position suitable for hole into
the interior of the vehicle and that it is suitable for a cable entry and
is clear of any obstructions. Cabinets and cupboards are usually a
preference to ensure a tidy installation. Also ensure that if it will be
mounted near any other antennas on the roof to give a reasonable
distance between them to avoid any interference.
Requirements:
1. Drill
2. Pilot Drill-bit 2 - 3mm (for the antenna base screws)
3. Hole Cutter / Arbor - 20mm ( For the central cable entry hole)
4. Sealant
5. Pencil
6. Masking Tape
7. Ladder
Prepare and drill hole:
Once the position has been decided within the vehicle for the router
to be placed, check the roof area above to ensure it is clear of any
obstructions or cabling. Drill a pilot hole from the inside of your
vehicle up through the roof, check that the hole created is correct on
the roof of the vehicle. Then use a 20mm hole cutter to and cut from
the inside of the vehicle to just about break the surface of the roof
panel. Then move to the roof of the vehicle and drill downwards to
complete a clean cut.
Remove any swarf and clean around the hole thoroughly so the
antenna and the adhesive can bond correctly with the surface. If the
surface area is metal apply some petroleum jelly or paint around the
hole to prevent corrosion.
