• 

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).

• 

Place the mounting plate on the roof of the vehicle, such that the centre hole is positioned centrally to 
the cable gland. The 

arrow symbol

 must be visible from above and point 

forwards in the direction of 

travel 

(Fig. B).

•  Mark the positions of the ten fastening holes on the roof of the vehicle in a pitch circle.

Note: 

The size of the holes and the choice of fastening screws to be used (not supplied) 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 that raised head screws, plain washers and 
self-locking nuts are always used to secure the glued mounting plate.

Note: 

If you have 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).
