UHF Radio Antenna

The rover UHF radio requires the use of an antenna to receive the signals transmitted
from the base radio. In the Z-Max, the radio antenna is called the UHF Antenna
Module. The UHF Antenna Module connects directly to the Range Pole RF Adapter
without cables.
When a cellular modem is being used as the data link, an empty UHF Antenna
Module (called the Pole Adapter) attaches between the GPS Antenna Module and the
Range Pole RF Adapter. The Pole Adapter looks the same as a UHF Antenna Module
and maintains the proper height of the rover pole.
The UHF Antenna Module connects directly to the top of Range Pole RF Adapter
(Figure 3.30). Note that the base of the Antenna Module is circular except for a
flattened area. Orient the UHF Antenna Module so that the flattened side of the
antenna module is lined up with the flattened area of the receptacle in the Pole
extension. Insert the UHF Antenna Module into the top of the Range Pole RF Adapter.
If the modules are correctly oriented, the UHF Antenna Module will push easily into
place. Once in place, twist the threaded collar until the antenna is securely locked in
place.
