2. Installation & Operation
2.1. Planning the Installation
Each separate component of the RAM should be placed in strategic locations. Below is a
guide to where you should locate the main unit, the phone antenna & the siren.
It is important to remember that the GSM antenna must be located high, but just
underneath the centre of the dashboard out of sight. An external antenna is not used for
security purposes.
Planning and Wire Routing
Figure 1
Main
Unit The RAM main unit should be located under the dashboard; out of sight from
any would be thief. The main module does not have to be on the driver’s
side, but is probably more convenient to install on the drivers side as most of
the wires used will be found on the driver’s side
Siren Route the black wires from the BBS Siren through the firewall of the vehicle.
Use an existing hole if possible & seal with silicone if required.
GSM
Antenna The phone antenna must be placed under the dashboard at the very top, or in
the pillar, preferably furthest away from any metal as the phone signal
transmits and receives through the windscreen. The antenna should be
straight with no bends. The antenna is the last 8.3cm of the antenna wire,
which has been stripped.
I.e. The antenna should be placed under the dash and stuck to the very top of
the underside of the dash above the speedometer or as high as possible
