Panorama Antennas LGMM-EXT-R Installation Instructions

LGMM-EXT-R
1. Introduction
LGMM-EXT-R is an extension kit and sealing pad for the LG[P]MM range of antennas.
This kit has been specially designed to allow mounting on ribbed panels (ribs up to
0.4" or 10mm height) and uneven surfaces. The kit contains an extension bush with
slotted nuts and washers and a semi-closed cell EPDM foam pad to seal the mounting
hole and to shape itself to the uneven features on the mounting panel. This installation
guide must be read with the full installation instructions for the LG[P]MM range - SW3-
259.
2. Select a suitable mounting location
Select a mounting location and ensure that there is adequate clearance under the
mounting panel. Measure to check for central position if necessary. The area where
the mounting hole will be placed should be as flat as possible and must allow for a 1
inch (25mm hole). If mounting the antenna to a ribbed panel with raised ribs larger
than 2 inches (50mm) in width then the antenna should be mounted on the highest
part of the rib if possible. Take care to avoid mounting the antenna in close proximity
to other objects on the mounting panel.
3. Prepare the antenna and drill hole
Assemble the extension bush to the antenna tightening fully with a spanner. Remove
the backing from the adhesive pad on the antenna and stick the foam pad in place.
Mask the panel area around the hole position to protect the paintwork and headliner.
Drill a pilot hole, and then increase the hole diameter to 1 inch (25mm), ensuring that
drill/cutter bit does not contact the headliner. Clean area around the hole, carefully
removing all swarf. Apply some petroleum jelly or paint around the hole to prevent
corrosion.
4. Fit the antenna
Feed the coaxial cables through the panel. Position the antenna over the hole ensuring
correct orientation. Assemble the nut and washer from underside and tighten as much
as possible without damaging or warping the panel. The recommended torque is 5Nm.
Do not overtighten. Take care to ensure that the antenna does not rotate during this
process. The foam pad has a semi-closed cell structure and will only seal if properly
compressed.
5. Complete installation
Complete the installation, commission and test procedures as detailed in the full
installation instructions for the LG[P]MM range - SW3-259.
