NOTE
Mounting Hardware Installation Kit (PN 1100792-501) contains
additional hardware spares. The quantity listed in the above
table reflect what is required for installation.
NOTE
Mounting screws (1, Figure 2-2) listed in four lengths to
accommodate mounting plate thickness of .12 to .24 inches.
NOTE
Mounting surface in contact with the antenna must be flat. If flat,
verify that the vent clearance hole is implemented or spacers are
installed (4, Figure 2-2).
NOTE
The Antenna Mounting Template is provided in Appendix A for
use in fabricating a custom plate. A mounting plate is not
included in the kit.
1. Use the template information provided in Appendix A to create the appropriate hole
pattern in the desired mounting surface for the chosen mounting hardware.
NOTE
Hole sizing and provided hardware are shown for through hole
mounting as shown in Appendix A. User may mount antenna
with other hardware at their discretion and own risk.
2. Position the pattern to avoid interferences with the antenna or coaxial cable connection to
the antenna.
3. Position the antenna in the proper orientation as decided by the pattern placement for the
chosen mounting pattern on the base of the antenna (Refer to Appendix A).
NOTE
IMPORTANT: The antenna is mounted with either three M6
torque to 6 Nm (4.5 ft-lbs.) stainless steel bolts (included with
Antenna Mounting Hardware Kit PN 1100792-501) as
appropriate for mounting plate thickness of .12 to .24 inches (3
to 6 mm.).
Never exceed the recommended torque values on
mounting bolts as this will damage the unit.
4. If spacers are required for proper spacing for the vent (4, Figure 2-2) assemble spacers as
shown in Figure 2-2.
5. Assemble screws (1) with flat washers (3) and split lock washers (2) as shown in Figure
2-2 and torque to requirements.
