Choose an installation position on the roof that is as horizontal as possible or only slightly sloping,
depending on the location of the vehicle, since roof inclinations greater than 5° may lead to problems
when searching for the satellite.
•
To ensure secure adhesion, the height difference of the roof curve may not be more than 1 cm over a
length of 2 m, as otherwise the gap between the roof and the mounting plate would be too great to be
fi
lled by the adhesive sealant.
•
As the vehicle is constantly subjected to vibration loads during travel, the roof below the antenna unit
is also subject to signi
fi
cant loads. Please note given the nature and capacity of your vehicle roof
(see also operating manual for the vehicle) that the weight of the antenna unit is approx. 9.7 kg.
In case of doubt, consult a quali
fi
ed dealer or your vehicle’s manufacturer.
•
The roof gland provides a watertight seal through which the two connecting cables (coax cable and
power supply cable) are fed into the interior of the vehicle directly underneath the turntable. If you
prefer a different method of laying the cables, they can be run from the rear of the turntable via the
channel provided in the mounting plate. The cables must then be run along the roof of the vehicle
in a protective cable duct and through a separate HDZ 100 roof gland (neither supplied).
•
The HDZ 100 roof gland is available as an accessory under part number 20410032 from specialist
dealers.
Note:
Do not cut the cables short, as otherwise the proper functioning of the unit can no longer be
guaranteed.
•
In the centre of the intended position of the turntable, drill the opening for the cable gland with a circular
cutter (Ø: 38 mm). Deburr the hole with a round
fi
le or emery paper.
•
Provisionally insert the roof gland into the drilled hole (Fig. A).

Note:
If you had previously used a Kathrein HDM140/141
fl
exible satellite mast or another mast
with a diameter of 34 mm, you can continue using the existing gland hole in the roof
(if space allows).
