9 Installing the EUM
112 APCD-LM043-4.0
9.4.7 Mounting the Antenna
The antenna bracket is designed to accommodate the RF cable and act as a strain relief.
To Mount the Antenna
1. Thread the attached antenna cable through the guides in the back of the antenna
bracket, as necessary.
Figure 43 Rear View of Antenna Bracket
NOTE: Bending the antenna cable too sharply can degrade EUM
performance. Never allow less than a 1.25 cm (0.5 in.) bend
radius. If a quarter (25-cent piece) fits into the curve, the bend is
acceptable.
The EUM kit includes suction cups, drywall plugs, and screws to allow a variety of
mounting options:
Table 22 Antenna Mount Guidelines
2. Insert the suction cups or screws into the base of the antenna bracket, then mount the
bracket onto the desired surface.
NOTE: If you mount your antenna bracket on a vertical surface, orient
the bracket so that the spring clip is closest to the ceiling.
Mounting Method Guidelines
Suction Cups Use on flat, smooth surfaces, such as glass, plastic,
laminates or metal. Remove all grease, oil, and grit
before securing the antenna bracket with suction
cups.
Drywall Plugs Use on all commercial drywall and other plaster
surfaces.
Screws Use on hardwood surfaces.
