4.7 Mounting the 5-in-1 antenna
The supplied 5-in-1 antenna must be installed in a location which has a clear
line of sight to the sky and where it will be away from structure and devices
that could cause interference.
Important:
A thread extender kit is available that enables the antenna to be mounted
to a thicker mounting surface. Refer to the instructions supplied in the kit
(document number 82425) for instructions on mounting the antenna, as
the thread extender kit requires a bigger mounting hole size and wrench
for tightening the nut.
1. Drill a 23 mm (0.91 in) hole at the center of the desired mounting location
to accept the antenna’s thread and cables.
2. Feed the cables through the gasket and place on the underside of the
antenna.
3. Feed the cables and thread through the hole in the mounting surface so
that the gasket and antenna sit flush on the mounting surface.
4. Feed the cables through the split in the nut and secure the antenna by
tightening the nut on the exposed thread.
Tighten the split nut using a large adjustable wrench or a 30 mm wrench.
The tightening torque should not exceed 1.47 N·m (1.08 lbf·ft).
