Routing Cables Into the Vehicle
This section describes how to route the coaxial RF antenna cables inside the vehicle.
The SR1500 Dual Pol version involves three cables from the antenna, the Uni Pol
version involves one cable.
You can route the antenna cables into the vehicle through an existing point of entry.
On an SUV this can be behind the hatch, between two body panels, or through a
grommet. On a bus, it can be via the air conditional outdoor unit.
Due to the extensive variety of vehicles on the market, this document does not cover
all possible wiring solutions for every vehicle. Should you decide to run the cable
between body panels, take every precaution to avoid areas prone to water
infiltration, and to prevent damage to the vehicle’s body. If the space between the
vehicle’s panels is too small, look for an alternate routing option.
When coaxial cable has been routed inside the vehicle to the desired
location, there may be cable left over. You can coil and tie the excess
cable and place it near the ACU and receiver.
Only a trained automotive technician should perform this
installation. Gilat is not responsible for any damage caused to
vehicles by the improper drilling or installation of antenna cable
through the roof or body of the vehicle.
Only a trained automotive installer should run cable or remove the
vehicle’s headliner. Improperly removing this material may result in
tearing, water infiltration and other damage to the vehicle and its
contents. Gilat is not responsible for damage caused to vehicles due
to improper drilling or removal of interior headliners.
