These Iridium antennas are designed to be installed in what is referred to as a “Bulk Head Mount” installation,
these antennas are not supplied with a cable and a suitable cable within specification should be used. The
antennas are designed for permanent installations and will require drilled holes and screws to affix them in
place.
The GPS antenna have SMA connectors and the Iridium TNC. The 701 require 1 drilled hole and the hexagon
locking nut used to secure the antenna in place.
The 703, 704 & 719 require 4 screws (supplied) to affix the antenna in place.
To install the antenna you will need to;
1. Use an existing mounting hole or drill a hole that will enable the antenna connector to pass through
2. The hole size should not exceed the size of the hexagonal locking nut
3. Remove the hexagon locking nut from the base of the antenna
4. Secure the hexagonal nut in place on the base of the antenna and tighten antenna firmly in place
5. If this is has screw holes then it is advisable to use these to secure to the surface.
