GPS HR Antenna and Mount Kits Installation Instructions
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
(1) Phillips cross-head screwdriver. #2
(2) 7/16” open end wrenches
INSTALLING THE STANDARD MOUNT KIT
Note:
The Standard Mount Kit contains 2 mounting bracket types. The
two brackets can be used together, as the Standard Mount Kit shown
in Figure 1, separately as the Collar Bracket Mount Kit shown in Figure
2, or separately as the L-Bracket Mount Kit shown in Figure 3.
**NOTE: This antenna contains precision electronic equipment.
Installers must observe precautions for handling electrostatic
sensitive devices.**
Refer to Figure 1.
1
Before you begin, be sure that the mounting pipe is the correct
diameter and free of any components from previous installations.
2
Attach the L-bracket (1b) to the customer-supplied vertical mounting
pipe using bolts (4b, 5b, 6b, and 7b). Locate in the desired position.
3
Tighten 0.25” hardware.
4
Insert the cable assembly, fitted with N male connector, through the
collar (1a) and gasket (2). Install captive screws (3a).
Do not install
set screws (4a) for this configuration.
5
With the gasket (2) on top of the L-bracket, insert the cable assem-
bly through the L-bracket and gasket. Attach the cable assembly to the
GPS antenna and tighten the connector as required.
6
Slide the collar and gasket up to the antenna and attach the anten-
na by pushing the four captive screws through the gaskets and tighten
them into the antenna base.
7
Install the weatherproofing (not provided with the Standard Mount
Kit) that extends from directly underneath the flange on the collar
bracket to at least 3” below the bottom of the collar measured on the
cable assembly. The unused set screw holes are covered.
Read these instructions thoroughly before assembly. Follow the
sequence for proper assembly and operation.
NOTICE
The installation, maintenance, or removal of antenna systems requires
qualified, experienced personnel. Antenna systems should be inspected
once a year by qualified personnel to verify proper installation,
maintenance, and condition of equipment.
ANTENNA DESCRIPTIONS
GPS-TMG-HR-26N
is a self contained GPS antenna and mount kit. The
kit includes a right hand circularly polarized antenna that incorporates a
26 dB high performance, high out-of-band rejection, narrow band ampli-
fier. It also includes mounting hardware to attach the antenna to a vertical
pipe within a range of diameters. See
Mounting Pipe Diameters
for
each kit.
GPS-TMG-HR-40N
is a self contained GPS antenna and mount kit. The
kit includes a right hand circularly polarized antenna that incorporates a
40 dB high performance, high out-of-band rejection, narrow band ampli-
fier. It also includes mounting hardware to attach the antenna to a vertical
pipe within a range of diameters. See
Mounting Pipe Diameters
for
each kit.
Note:
A +5 volt dc bias is required for each of the active antennas and is
fed via the center conductor to provide power for the integrated low noise
preamplifier. The voltage should already be present.
MOUNTING KIT DESCRIPTIONS
The Standard Mount Kit includes the Collar Bracket Mount Kit and the
L-Bracket Mount Kit. Depending on your requirements, you can use
these kits together or separately. Keep remaining materials for future use.
