Installation and Configuration
Ground the Antenna Mast
Complete the steps below to ground the antenna mast. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that every antenna installation be
grounded. Also, many areas have local antenna-grounding codes. Be sure that you are familiar with the grounding and other antenna
regulations in your area.
1. Secure the ground clamp (supplied) around the antenna mast.
2. Insert and tighten the #6 gauge wire (supplied) in the ground clamp. The final assembly should resemble Figure 10.
NOTE:
Cut the 50' wire off at the necessary length. The remainder of the wire will be used to ground the transmitter.
3. Connect the other end of the #6 gauge wire to a verified building/earth ground.

Ground the Transmitter
Complete the steps below to ground the transmitter.
1. Connect and tighten the terminal ground lug (supplied) on the transmitter.
2. Insert and tighten #6 gauge wire (supplied) into the transmitter terminal ground lug.
3. Connect other end of wire to a verified building/earth ground source.
Complete Final Installation and Mounting Requirements
1. Weatherproof the antenna connection using gel wrap kit supplied.
2. Secure the GPS cable and LMR 400 cable to building and mast.
3. Leave a drip loop where both cables enter the building to prevent water from entering the building.
4. Use UV resistant zip ties to secure the cables to the mast and building.
NOTE:
Do not zip tie the GPS cable to the LMR 400 cable. These two cables must be 2" (5.08cm) apart at all times, with
the exception of the point where they enter into the building.
5. Verify all nuts and bolts in the mounting hardware are secure.
6. Caulk all exterior holes.
7. Secure and tie wrap all indoor cables.
