Installing the antenna
Automatic Tuning Whip Antenna 9350 Installation Handbook 11
Figure 6: Front-mount location on off-road vehicle
Mounting bracket
The antenna must be mounted on a sturdy metal plate (10 mm
(½ in) thick), strengthened by a support bracket on at least one
side. The mounting bracket and fixing should be able to
withstand any vibrations induced from the vehicle travelling
over an off-road surface. A strong metal plate that is large
enough to support the antenna will also provide efficient
earthing. The plate must have a 17 mm (0.67 in) hole to accept
the mounting screw.
The mounting bracket should be located such that the top half
of the antenna tuner shroud, or more, sits above any adjacent
horizontal metal plane on the vehicle (for example, a trunk lid,
hood, or roof).
The bracket should be located so that any flexing of the
antenna assembly does not damage the panels of the vehicle.
CAUTION
If the antenna is front-mounted, it should be
mounted on the side opposite to the driving
position.
NOTE
You should consider any overall height
restrictions that are relevant to your vehicle.
