Installing the antenna
16 Automatic Tuning Whip Antenna 9350 Installation Handbook
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 stainless steel whip, or the fibreglass whip
with spring, onto the antenna stud.

NOTE
These cables are available in a number of
lengths (see page 23, Accessories).
WARNING
Do not cut the control or coaxial cable. If
the cables are too long, coil the excess
neatly and secure it out of the way with
cable ties.
Do not bunch the control and coaxial
cables together.
WARNING
Do not exert greater than 25 Nm (18 lb-ft)
on the stud. Tighten the whip using a
spanner with one hand positioned as close
as possible to the antenna to minimise any
mechanical advantage.
