Antenna Installation Guide 

Location 

The controller’s (e.g. C220’s, C200’s) antenna should be mounted such that it has the best possible 
line-of-sight to the remote unit (e.g. H212, H106), in order to maximise the operating range.  It is 
usually best to locate the antenna 

above metal structures

 of the machine that may otherwise 

obstruct the radio signal; best performance is achieved when 

surrounding metal is at least 20 cm 

away

 from the side of the antenna whip. 

The mounting 

surface must be metallic

, no more than 2.5 mm (0.1 inch) thick and preferably permit 

the 

antenna whip to stand vertically above the metal mounting surface

.  In instances where a 

vertical surface must be used, it is best to attach the antenna to an outside corner where the metal 
surface turns away from the antenna; a pre-drilled bracket has been provided for this purpose. 

Assembly and Adjustment 

Turn off power to the controller before performing the following procedure. 

The antenna base will be installed into a 

19-mm (¾-inch) diameter hole

 which must be drilled into 

the metal mounting surface, or the supplied bracket may be used.  After deburring the hole, 

pass 

the

 

small end (gold connector) of the cable through the hole from the upper side

 as shown below:
