4. Mounting using the screw positions
Versions of the antenna without GPS/GNSS can be wall mounted vertically to
internal plasterboard (but check that this is not foil backed type), drywalls or other
non-conductive panels using the screw mount positions on the housing.
If mounted vertically the antenna should be wall mounted with the cables
exiting downwards. The screw positions can also be used to mount the antenna
horizontally to any non conductive panel but note that versions with GPS/GNSS
require a clear view of the sky.
Check for adequate clearance behind the wall / panel. Make sure that drilling
in the chosen location will not damage any objects, wires or pipes behind the
panel. Mark the hole positions, making sure that they are level. The antenna
can be used as a template if required.
Drill appropriate pilot holes and then increase to the appropriate hole size for
any wall anchors / wall plugs that are being used. Fit the wall plugs / anchors
(if applicable) securely. Screws up to 5.5mm / No.12 (0.21”) can be used to
fit the antenna to the wall or panel .
Caution: Do not over-tighten the screws as this may damage the
antenna housing.
