Installation Instruction - SW3-784
Introduction
A.
This instruc on covers low profi le antennas with M18 thread size moun ng bolt. The antenna is low profi le and doesn’t require a groundplane. The
L[G]-7-38 range can be fi ed on metal or plas c panels. The L[G]P-7-38 range can be fi ed on plas c / non-conduc ve panels or metal panels although
moun ng on a metal panel will result in some detriment to performance. The antenna will fi t panels of up to 9mm (0.35”) thickness.
Select A Suitable Mounting Location
B.
Select suitable moun ng loca on which is spaced away from other structures on the moun ng panel. The appropriate distance will depend on height of
structure, but minimum recommended spacing is one wavelength at the lowest opera ng frequency for the antenna. To calculate this, see below:
300 / frequency in MHz = Wave length (m) As an example for 900MHz - 300/900 = 0.33m (1’).
Ensure adequate under panel clearance and check for double skin or posi on of any cross brace. Measure to check for central posi on if applicable.
C.
Mount the Antenna
Mask the panel area around the hole posi on to protect the paintwork and
headliner (if applicable). Drill a pilot hole, then increase to 18mm (3/4”)
clearance, ensuring that the drill/cu er bit does not contact anything under
the panel. Clean area around the hole, carefully removing all swarf. Apply
some petroleum jelly or paint around the hole to prevent corrosion.
D.
Remove the protec ve backing from the underside of the antenna, feed the coaxial cable through the panel. Posi on the antenna over the hole
ensuring correct orienta on if applicable and s ck to panel by applying fi rm downward pressure. For op mal adhesion the antenna should be only
be installed at temperatures above 16°C (60°F). Assemble the nut and washer from underside and ghten.

Routing and Terminating Coaxial Cable(s)
Route the coaxial cable to the equipment, taking care to avoid running adjacent to exis ng wiring or fouling any moving component. The cable(s) must
not be routed in front of any airbag device.

European Waste Electronic Equipment
Direc ve 2002/96/EC
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. All electronic products with the WEEE logo
must be collected and sent to approved operators for safe disposal or recycling. Please recycle where facili es exist. Many
electrical/electronic equipment retailers facilitate “Distributor Take-Back scheme”for household WEEE. Check with your Local
Authority or electronic retailers for designated collec on facili es where WEEE can be disposed of for free.
DO NOT
• operate the transmi er when someone is within 20cm (8”) of the antenna.
• operate the equipment in an explosive atmosphere.
• a empt to install the antennas without the proper safe equipment to access the install loca on.
• install the antenna near overhead power lines
• chew parts or put them in mouth, keep away from unsupervised children.
