Installation Instructions
Synergy Series
Combination Antenna
A Introduction
The Taoglas Synergy is an external permanent mount combination
antenna. The Synergy can be provided with combinations of 5G/4G, active
GNSS with front end saw and dual-band Wi-Fi. The Synergy is available
with two versions of the enclosure, one designed specifically for the Ford
Interceptor, both supplied with 3M adhesive, along with an M22 threaded
boss for surface attachment. The Synergy is ideal for vehicle panels of
up to 6mm(0.23") thick with a threaded boss length of 20.5mm(0.81").
The Synergy is IP67 rated and includes an O-Ring to seal from any
water ingress.
Electrical Safety
The Synergy contains an active GPS/GNSS antenna.
Rated voltage: 3-5VDC Rated current: 20mA maximum
The supply to this device must be provided with overcurrent protection of 1A maximum.
Power consumption@1.8V (mA) 8.7 mA
Power consumption@3.0V (mA) 9.0 mA
Power consumption@5.5V (mA) 11 mA
B Mounting & Location
For prime performance, the Synergy is recommended to be fitted on a
conductive metal panel. When fitting on a non-metallic panel, a conductive
metal ground plane of suitable size should be fitted underneath the mounting
panel to achieve a better level of performance. Optimum ground plane size
is 300mm x 300mm(11.8" x 11.8"). When mounting on a vehicle roof panel
ensure to mount on a flat surface, and measure for central position. Care
should be taken to mount the Synergy antenna as far as possible from other
roof-mounted features such as the aircon unit, light bar etc.
Sealing
In order to ensure that the installation is properly sealed against the mounting surface care must be taken regarding curvature
of the mounting panel. It is highly recommended to install the antenna on a clean, flat and level surface. After installation the
compression of the rubber boot against the mounting panel should be checked and a small bead of neutral cure silicone sealant
can be applied around the periphery of the mounting boot if required.
C Surface Preparation
When preparing to drill the hole, mask the area around the hole position to
protect the surface. Drill a pilot hole and increase the hole size to Ø24mm (⅞").
Ensure the drill bit does not contact the headliner. Deburr and clean the area
around the hole carefully removing all waste.
Remove paint and primer from under panel surface to ensure adequate earth
contact by washer and nut. Apply petroleum jelly or paint around cut edge of
the hole to prevent corrosion
