POSITIONING AND MOUNTING THE ANTENNA
Find a suitable position on the roof of your vehicle. Please ensure that you
have selected the correct position suitable for hole into the interior of the
vehicle and that it is suitable for a cable entry and is clear of any
obstructions. Cabinets and cupboards are usually a preference to ensure a
tidy installation. Also ensure that if it will be mounted near any other
antennas on the roof to give a reasonable distance between them to avoid any
interference.
Requirements:
- Drill
- Pilot Drill-bit 2 – 3mm (for the antenna base screws)
- Hole Cutter / Arbor – 20mm ( For the central cable entry hole)
- Sealant
- Pencil
- Masking Tape
- Ladder
Prepare and drill hole:
Once the position has been decided within the vehicle for the router to be
placed, check the roof area above to ensure it is clear of any obstructions or
cabling. Drill a pilot hole from the inside of your vehicle up through the
roof, check that the hole created is correct on the roof of the vehicle. Then
use a 20mm hole cutter to and cut from the inside of the vehicle to just about
break the surface of the roof panel. Then move to the roof of the vehicle and
drill downwards to complete a clean cut.
Remove any swarf and clean around the hole thoroughly so the antenna and the adhesive can bond correctly with the surface. If the surface area is metal apply some petroleum jelly or paint around the hole to prevent corrosion.
SET UP AND FIXING THE ANTENNA
Clean the roof area around the install thoroughly ready for the antenna to
ensure a secure bond. Remove the nut, washer and the 3M backing from the
antenna and feed the two SMA cables down the prepared hole.
Apply a generous amount of adhesive around the neck of the thread and feed the
two cables followed by the thread down the prepared hole. Press down evenly
and apply pressure to ensure a good grip with the 3M pad. 
Enter the vehicle and feed the washer and nut over the cables and up onto the
20mm thread and tighten (hand tight should be sufficient).
Once the antenna is installed in place, apply a bead of sealant around the
base of the exterior of the antenna to further waterproof the
installation.
