Installing the antenna
Automatic Whip Antenna 3040 Installation Handbook 19
1 Protect any cables passing through metal panels with
rubber grommets.
1 Tape the connectors on the antenna, and approximately
25 mm (1 in) of each cable, with two layers of self-
amalgamating PIB tape (Rotunda 2501) or EPR tape (3M
Scotch™ 23).
1 Cover the self-amalgamating tape with two layers of
high-quality electrical tape (3M Scotch™ 33+, or
similar) to minimise aging of the self-amalgamating tape.
1 Screw the fibreglass or stainless steel whip to the riser,
then screw the riser to the spring.
1 Screw the spring onto the antenna stud at the top of the
housing of the antenna tuner.
