Step 3: Secure antenna to mast
1. Attach and fasten the antenna channel side base to the top of the 1 inch rigid galvanized conduit section.
2. Use a 1/2 inch wrench to tighten the nuts on both of the U-bolts, both evenly and securely. To ensure it's secure, tighten the
second nut to the first nut.
Step 4: Route antenna LMR 400 coaxial cable
1. Drill a 1 in. (2.54 cm) hole through an exterior wall of the building that is in close proximity to the antenna installation location.
2. Roll out the LMR 400 cable to prevent kinks from developing during routing.
3. Route the LMR 400 cable female connector from the Transceiver installation area to the outside installation location of the
antenna, leaving enough cable for two 1 ft. (0.30 m) diameter coils at the base of the antenna mast.
4. Form and secure two 1 ft. diameter (305 mm) loops in the LMR 400 cable at the base of the mast for lightning protection.
5. Connect the LMR 400 cable to the antenna.
Step 5: Mount antenna mast
There are three available mounting methods. Installation is dependent upon the mounting kit supplied with the system.
NOTE
Mounting the antenna mast may require two people.
Non-penetrating roof mount kit
The Non-Penetrating Antenna Kit is designed for mounting a ground plane omnidirectional antenna when mounting to the side of
a structure is not practical. The overall footprint of the frame is 29 inches x 35 ½ inches (73.66 cm x 88.9 cm).
NOTE
Installation requires six 8 in. x 8 in. x 16 in. concrete blocks (not supplied).
