Mount on a surface that is free from dirt, grime, water and grease to avoid
damaging the mounting surface or the vehicle’s paint.
Mount so that the cable end faces the rear of the vehicle.
5.2 Mount a Remote Antenna
Two mounting options are available for the remote packaged satellite antennas: screw
mount or silicone mount. OEM Integrators, who have included an unpackaged antenna
within their product, should apply any packaged antenna restrictions mentioned in this
section, to the mounting of their own product.
5.2.1 Screw Mount
If mounting a remote antenna the following tools and materials are required:
Drill
M4 hardware
Outdoor waterproof adhesive sealant (silicone)
To mount the antenna, follow the steps below.
1. Find a location for the remote antenna following the guidelines provided in
Section 5.1.
2. Use the mounting template (APPENDIX A) or the antenna as a template, to mark the
location of the mounting holes.
CAUTION Cable management and connector strain relief MUST be
incorporated in the installation. Secure the cable no more
than 15 cm from the antenna enclosure and at regular
intervals along its length as part of the installation to prevent
cable wear and eliminate strain on the terminal connector.
Damage to the terminal connector interface or cable might
otherwise result leading to hardware failure.
3. Drill the mounting holes using the drill.
4. Apply waterproof sealing compound, such as RTV silicone, around the drill holes so
water does not seep into the asset.
