Installation on a Bus
This procedure describes how to install the SR1500 antenna on a bus.
The Gilat metal leg kit is recommended for mounting the antenna on a bus roof.
See Bus Mount Kit, on page 42.
Figure 22: Metal legs installed on bus roof
The antenna is mounted on the legs using adjustable, padded clamps. Mounting
brackets used for installation on a bus are supplied with the product and are
preinstalled on the bottom of the antenna. For details, see Notes About Clamp
Installation, on page 16.
Installation procedure
1. Choose a suitable place on the bus roof.
o The antenna should be far enough from other equipment mounted on the
roof to avoid shadowing of satellite signals.
o Choose relatively flat area of the roof without reinforcement ribs to make
the mounting of the supporting metal legs easier. If the curvature of the roof
is great or the reinforcement ribs are high, there is a danger that the bottom
of the antenna will touch the roof surface.
