LOCATION
The antenna should be mounted on the desired location before connecting the cable. This ensures that the cable is not twisted or
damaged during the mounting of the antenna..
MOUNTING
Use the following as guidance when mounting the antenna:
Note:
The mounting area should be clean of any debris, clear from obstructions, and as flat as possible.
1. Punch or drill a 21-millimeter hole in the roof of the vehicle.
Note:
A 300-millimeter clearance radius around the antenna is recommended.
The recommended orientation is facing the front of the vehicle with cables facing the rear. Refer to Figures 4 and 5.
2. Feed the cables from the bottom of the antenna through the topside of the 21-millimeter hole.
3.
Peel the adhesive covering on the bottom side of the antenna’s gasket.
4. Place the threads of the antenna through the hole so that the gasket of the antenna is flat on the vehicle surface.
5. Slide the lock-nut and washer around the five cables and finger-tighten to the stud of the antenna.
6. Tighten the nut with a wrench using 10 Nm (Max 15 Nm) of torque.
7. Use a short service loop (slack) with tie-downs to secure the antenna cables such that any force or movement will not be
transmitted to the antenna connectors or the apparatus. Minimum bending radius for the cable exiting the bottom of the antenna is
10 millimeters.
