5.1.4 Installing the Cable Gland and Mounting Plate
If you have previously used a Kathrein HDM 140/141 jointed tripod mast or another mast with a diameter of
34 mm, you can continue using the existing through hole in the roof.

1. In the centre of the intended position of the turntable, drill the opening for the cable gland with a circular cutter of
Ø 38 mm.
2. Deburr the hole with a round file or emery paper.
3. Provisionally insert the roof duct into the drilled hole (Fig. A).
4. Place the mounting plate on the roof of the vehicle, such that the centre hole is positioned centrally to the cable
gland. The

must be visible from above and
point forwards in the direction of travel
of the vehicle
(Fig. B).
5. Mark the positions of the six fastening holes on the roof of the vehicle in a pitch circle.
The size of the holes and the choice of fastening screws to be used (not included) depend on the type
and thickness of the materials used in the roof structure. If the roof panelling (plastic roofs) is suffi-
ciently strong, it is recommended to always use round head screws, plain washers and self-locking
nuts to secure the glued mounting plate.
6. If the roof panel material is very thin and does not provide adequate holding power within the insulation material,
through holes (Ø 5.5 mm) into the interior of the vehicle are required and galvanised M5 round head screws of suffi-
cient length must be used.
Make sure that you use a sufficiently strong support that can withstand the bolt tensile forces (large plain washer or
a complete reinforcing plate).
