Step-By-Step Installation Instructions
The DBS-4500 is designed to install quickly and easily. As can be seen in Figure 4-1, there are only
four “Plug & Play” connectors, J1 through J4, to connect for full implementation of the DBS-4500
antenna system. Only connection of J1 and J3 are
necessary for most installations. Therefore, it is not
necessary to remove the radome cover to install this
system.
CAUTION: Follow these installation
instructions exactly to ensure a trouble free
installation. An incomplete or incorrect
installation could result in a voided warranty. To
avoid warranty problems, use only Datron
authorized installers to complete this installation.

Antenna Mounting Instructions
Step 1
Locate the antenna on the centerline, or
crown of the vehicle. Position control cable
and RF cables to best serve your cabling
need (see Figure 4-2).
NOTE
: Orientation of the antenna is
not
critical. Positioning the antenna connectors
toward the rear of the vehicle will reduce
wind resistance.

Step 2
Using the antenna base as a template. Match-
drill a minimum of two (2) mounting holes in
each mounting pad (see Figure 4-3). Use a
3/16” diameter drill bit and drill to a depth of
3/4-inches.
