5.1 Fitting the antenna
To fit the antenna:
1. Select a suitable location for the antenna as
described under
Antenna location requirements
.
2. Fit your antenna using either the
Surface
mounting
or
Pole mounting
procedure, as
appropriate.
3. Ensuring that cable routing and connection
requirements as detailed in the installation
instructions for the product that the antenna will
be connected to are followed.
5.2 Surface mounting
When surface mounting the antenna, you can route
the cable either centrally (Option A) or from the side
of the antenna (Option B).
1. Use the template supplied to mark the two 6 mm
(0.25 in) mounting holes.
• OPTION A: If the cable is going to pass through
the mounting surface drill a 19 mm (0.75 in)
center hole.
• OPTION B: If the cable is to be routed from the
side of the antenna (i.e. above the mounting
surface), remove the two plastic tabs (1)
obstructing the cable channel. If you do not
remove these tabs before using the cable
channel, you could damage the cable.

2. Screw the two mounting studs (2) into the
underside of the antenna.
3. Stick the supplied gasket (3) to the mounting
surface, ensuring that the holes on the gasket
correspond with the drilled holes.
4. Route the cable as follows:
• For Option A, feed the cable down through the
center hole.
• For Option B, route the cable along the cable
exit channel.
5. Carefully place the antenna so the mounting
studs pass through the holes in the mounting
surface.
6. Secure the antenna to the surface using the
supplied thumb nuts (4).
