FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
(
For use with Oricom range of detachable antenna whips
)
Choose a location:
1)
Select an open
mounting
position
,
which will work to reduce the signal shadowing, and in turn,
improve
transmission range. The antenna should be mounted as far as possible from any
metal
structure, including
vertical metal strips, cables, rods or railing
.
2)
When selecting a position, ensure that the cable routing and distance to radio are considered.
It should also be considered that antenna whip
s
will flex during motion, which will add stress
to
the bracket mounting point. A flat surface will aid in reducing any stress on the mounting
bracket.
3)
Ensure that the selected location is free of electrical wiring, or other
hazard, before safely
commencing the install
ation
(as per below instruction)
.
4)
An important consideration is the ability to fold down antenna bracket and whip, when not in
use. Select a location where the desired fold down of antenna whip is suitable.
USER GUIDE ORICOM
VHF
ANTENNA BRACKET -
MBL001/MBL002
Installation:
1) Each marine bracket is supplied with a drilling template, located on the reverse side of the
bracket packaging card. Locate the template, and in the desired location, use this template as
your guide, drilling from the outside. Ensure that the antenna fold down position is considered
before drilling a hole.
2)
3)
Each of the four securing holes can be drilled using a suitable 7mm drill bit.
If the desire is to have the coaxial cable passing through the base of the bracket, blind holes
have been allocated for reference on the drilling template. It is recommended that a
9.5
mm
drill bit is used to remove the blind hole. The blind hole will also need to be removed from the
antenna base, so using the
9.5
mm drill bit, locate the matching hole, and remove.
4)
Once holes are removed, antenna coaxial cable can be fed through the drilled hole on the
base of the bracket, and through the hole drilled into the suitable boat location. Each bracket
includes a split rubber grommet, which is designed to be wrapped around cable on underside
of the base of the bracket, and securely pushed into place in drilled hole. This is to ensure
that
when the base is screwed into place, there is a seal of the gap between the cable and
the
base.
5)
Each of the four affixing screws can now be tightened, but be careful not to over tighten which
could damage the base or vessel. It is recommended that after 1 month of use, that the
retention screws are tightened once more.
6)
A neutral cure
waterproof
silicon sealant can be used around the base of the bracket, to
ensure that the
bracket is affixed and secure.
7)
The antenna coaxial cable can now be installed
to
the radio.
Note
: Each Oricom marine whip is factory pre-tuned and must not be altered in any way. It is not
recommended to cut or alter the supplied coaxial cable in any way.
