4. Mounting Using the Wall / Mast / Rail
Bracket
Check that you have the required mounting hardware and equip-
ment available. The antenna can be bracket mounted via the
supplied fi xing holes (suitable for machine screws or self-tapping
screws) or rail / mast mounted using the supplied u-bolts / clamps.
If drilling holes to mount the antenna the bracket can be used as a
drilling template. Consider whether, given the installation location,
it is better to mount the antenna to the bracket before mounting
the complete assembly or whether it is better to mount the bracket
fi rst.
When ready mount the antenna securely to the bracket using the
supplied screws and washers. It is advisable but not essential to
use the supplied gasket.
If utilising the gasket feed the the gasket over the cables up to the
base of the antenna. Pass the cables into the slot in the bracket
aligning the holes in the gasket with the holes in the antenna and
bracket. Assemble the bolts and washer from under the bracket
and hand tighten fully performing a fi nal tighten with a spanner.
Caution: Do not overtighten the bolts as this may damage the
antenna.
Safety Check: Ensure that the bracket is securely fi xed to wall /
mast / rail before fi nalising the installation.
5. Panel Mounting
Mask the panel area around the hole position to protect the surface / paintwork if required. Drill pilot holes in the confi guration shown below, then
increase the hole sizes to the diameters indicated, ensuring that the drill / cutter bit does not hit any objects under the panel. Note that a central hole
diameter of 30mm (1.2") inches is required for versions of the product fi tted with N-type connectors whereas a hole of 20mm (0.8") will be suffi cient for
versiond fi tted with SMA or Fakra type connectors. The supplied rubber gasket can be used as a drilling template if requried.
Clean the area around the holes carefully removing all debris or swarf.

tion the antenna and gasket over the mounting hole and align the mounting bosses with the holes in the gasket and panel - you may need to fi xture
the antenna in place. Assemble the bolts and washer from under the panel and hand tighten fully performing a fi nal tighten with a spanner. Consider
whether additional silicone should be applied to seal the installation
Caution: Do not overtighten the bolts as this may damage the antenna or distort the mounting panel.
