Chapter 3. Installing the WiFi Recorder 

ST8956(W) WiFi Recorder Users Guide Addendum 

Antenna Fixing Instructions. 

The antenna mount is suited for panel or roof mounting.  The 
antenna requires a minimum 90 mm (3.5”) diameter metal 
ground plane under the antenna.  If the fixing panel is non-
metallic, a metal disk of the required diameter must be fitted 
under the panel. 

 

Install the antenna mount through an 18 mm (0.71”) 
diameter hole.  Recommended Installation Torque 3.5 Nm 
(2.6 lb/ft) 

 

The whip antenna should be tightened with a 9 mm fork 
spanner. 

 

The completed antenna installation is approximately 
140 mm (5.5”) high. 

 

The mount has a bendable section (15 degrees) to adjust the 
antenna into an upright position. 

The antenna cable must be routed from the antenna mount to the 
WiFi Recorder as follows: 

 

Minimum allowed bend radius is 30 mm (1.25”). 

 

Take care not to over-tighten any cable ties such that they 
deform (pinch) the cable. 

 

The cable should be secured in such a way as to stop mating 
connectors from being pulled apart.  

 

Such that it will not be trapped or crushed by any other item 
on the vehicle.  

 

It is essential to ensure that the WiFi Recorder and harnesses 
are 

NOT

 mounted in a position close to any devices or 

associated wiring similar to the following:
