STEP 9: MOUNT THE RS-4202 WINDOW MOUNT GPS ANTENNA
The GPS antenna allows for the acquisition and communication of the vehicles physical location to the RS-4000 and
eventually the ZOLL Online system.
1.
Determine the installation location of the antenna on the windshield or dashboard. Keep in mind that
the GPS antenna cannot "see" through metal. Unobstructed line of sight is required. The GPS
antenna should not be placed near any physical obstruction like the "A" pillar, rearview mirror, or a 2-
way communication antenna. Always install the antenna as high on the glass as possible if mounting
on the windshield. Do not mount the antenna to a metallic surface.
NOTE:
RF Reception is prone to electromagnetic interference when mounted in the interior of the
vehicle. Do not place the antenna on the dashboard or rear deck if:
A wired windshield defroster exists
A metallic window tint is installed
The window is any type of solar reflective composite
A windshield mounted radio antenna is already in place
CAUTION
- Do not place the antenna where it may interfere with the driver's vision. Some states
prohibit mounting anything on the windshield that may obstruct the driver’s vision.
2.
Test fit the antenna on the selected area prior to mounting the antenna using the adhesive foam
tape. Ensure there is sufficient length to route the antenna lead to the RS-4000. Make sure that the
mounting surface is clean and free of debris and any imbedded obstructions such as antenna wires,
defroster wires, heavy tinting, etc. An alcohol wipe may be used on the mounting surface to remove
any dirt or oils which may prevent proper adhesion of the adhesive foam tape.
CAUTION
- The adhesive tape is very strong and will bond instantly on the mounting surface. Once
the antenna is placed on the surface, it cannot be moved easily without damage.
3.
Remove the release liner and carefully position the adhesive foam tape to the antenna. Place the
antenna on the mounting surface and apply even pressure to allow the foam tape to conform to the
windshield curvature or dashboard. 50% of the bond strength is achieved after 20 minutes. Avoid
contact with the antenna for a minimum of 20 minutes after initial installation.
