The bulkhead mounting antenna can be used with metal or plastic housings. Care must be taken when
mounting the Antenna to ensure the installation does not become directional.
Antenna Orientation
For the maximum range the acquisition module and any other modules should be orientated as shown.
The sensitivity to the radio transmission will be reduced if the acquisition module is oriented in a vertical or
portrait position if a handheld is used because the handheld can only be used in one orientation.
