the radome or moisture condensed inside the radome is drained out simply be
gravity. Correct function of the drainage system will only be ensured by following
criteria mentioned on page 12.
The antenna can be cleaned and washed together with the vehicle (hosing down or
driving through a washing tunnel). When using a pressure washer, do not direct the
jet towards the antenna from short distance. Avoid pressure washing at maximum
pressure; the sealing gasket may not withstand such high-pressure jet.
Never direct a water jet towards the drainage holes at the radome bottom. Too
much water may be forced up the drainage channel.
Three magnetic mounts (P/N: 3501152-0002) are optional for the terminal
installation. These mounts will withstand 100 mph of wind force. If the antenna
cannot be mounted using the magnetic feet, the mounting holes can be used to bolt
the antenna onto a roof bracket system.
The magnetic mount consists of three high-intensity magnets. Each magnet has a
stainless steel M5 center bolt. There are "three" legs on the antenna where the
magnets are bolted in place. Note the position of the stainless-steel washer above
the upper washer and the M5 protective nut on top. Use 6.1 Nm of torque to
tighten the screw and nut. See installation details in
For the dismounting, grasp the antenna near one of the magnets and lift up. When
one magnet is loose, the other two will be easy to release. In some situations, the
magnetic force is so large that it is necessary to unscrew the antenna first and
remove the magnets separately.
