Chapter 2: Installing the A325
Magnetic Mount
The magnetic mount can be screwed into the bottom of the A325 and mounts to metal surfaces. A
metal disc and foam adhesive are included with each magnetic mount.
Use the foam adhesive to bond the metal disc to the desired mounting location if there are no
metal surfaces.
To mount the A325 using the magnetic mount:
1.
Clean and dry the surface where you will attach the metal disc.
2.
Remove the backing from one side of the foam adhesive and press the adhesive
onto the mounting surface.
3.
Remove the backing from the other side of the foam adhesive and press the metal disc
onto the mounting surface, applying firm pressure to ensure good adhesion.
4.
Place the magnetic mount on top of the metal disc.
Surface Mount
You can surface mount the A325 with four machine screws (no. 8-32). To surface
mount the A325:
1.
Determine the desired location for the A325 (see “Selecting the Proper Antenna
Location” on page 9).
2.
Photocopy the bottom of the A325 for use as a template to plan the mounting
hole locations. Use the outer four holes per your installation.
If using a photocopy make sure it is scaled one-to-one with the mounting holes on
the bottom of the A325.
3.
Mark the mounting hole centers on the mounting surface.
4.
Place the A325 over the marks to ensure the planned hole centers align with the true
hole centers (adjusting as necessary).
5.
Use a center punch to mark the hole centers.
6.
Drill the mounting holes with a 9 mm bit appropriate for the surface.
7.
Place the A325 over the mounting holes and insert the mounting screws through
the bottom of the mounting surface into the A325.
Hand tighten only. Damage resulting from overtightening is not
covered by the warranty.
Pole Mount
The center thread on the bottom of the A325 is 1”. The mounting assembly included with the A325
includes an 5/8” adapter compatible with common survey poles. Simply thread the riser/pole into the
antenna until snug.
Hand tighten only. Damage resulting from overtightening is not covered
by the warranty.
