Installation Instructions

Threaded Spigot Mounting
Download the 1: 1 drill template from http://www.poynling.tech/downloads

• Choose the mounting location carefully and o position at least 50cm from heat sources, with a clear line of sight to the sky. II ls recommended that the antenna be installed at the highest possible location on the vehicle’s roof so that the signal con be received r, o 3600 radii. clear of obstacles including ports of the vehicle’s body and that the mounting surface is as not as possible. The selected location must hove a conductive metollJc surface area which IS o minimum of ±400x400mm to achieve optimal performance.
• Once you have decided on the location and checked that there are no obstructions such as cables or channels below the mounting surface. for the fastening nut and cables to poss through. use the downloaded 1: 1 dnll template to mark the mounting location.
• To prevent the marking lool or drill sliding off course. use masking tape over the drilling point to help hold the drill point in place. The masking lope also prevents hot shavings from the drill or hole sow which could penelrole and damage the pointed surface.
• Set the drilling machine to low speed and carefully drill a pilot hole (03mm drilling bit works well). Use a 022mm metal hole saw or step drill to open the hole to the required size

Note: The recommended drill hole diameter for MIM0-3-V2 IS 022mm

• Clean the entire surface on which you plan to mount the antenna Cleaning 1s done so as not to damage the vehicle’s paint and to ensure good contact of the foam surface to the mounting area
• Alcohol wipes can be used to remove 011 and dirt from the surface
• Remove the wax protection paper from the adhesive foam seal al the base of lhe antenna Insert the antenna cables and threaded spigot through the drilled hole
• Push the antenna down onto the mounting surface and make sure the antenna is placed straight and conically F,t the plastic nut from the inside of the mounting platform.
• Be careful not to over tighten the nut
• You may use the 6 x (M4 x 10mm) brass threaded inserts to further secure the antenna Please refer to the drilling template for hole locations The use of M4 threaded rod Is the preferred fastening method.
• The 10mm Threaded Spigot should be used to secure the antenna lo a surface structure of 10mm thickness or less Likewise the 50mm Threaded Spigot should be used to secure the antenna lo a surface structure of 50mm thickness or less.

Threaded Spigot Mounting

Surface mounting

• Clean the surface entire mounting surface on which you plan to slick the antenna
• Remove Nut. spigot seal and Short spigot from the antenna
• Push the Rf cable into the groove in the plastic base
• Secure cable with the 2 x coble clips and 4 x (M4 x 12mm) stainless steel screws
• Pull off the one side of the adhesive wax paper of each of the 6 x adhesive foam discs

Optional magnetic base kit

Antenna Mounting Precautions

• Place the antenna at the highest point possible and ensure that there aren’t any surrounding obstructions to the antenna.
• In order to avoid communication interference, ensure that the antenna is placed at least 0.Sm away from other antennas and metal objects.
• Avoid installing the antenna near a chimney. as the smoke and soot emitted by the chimney con obstruct the signal level achieved by the antenna
• Install the antenna away from heat sources and flammable gases.

Cable Routing

• Avoid wrapping the cables around the pole. Roule the antenna cables straight down the inside of the pole to ovoid using extra equipment such as coble ties.
• Use the minimum coble length required Do not run more coble than needed to ensure minimum coble losses ore achieved.
• Never pull on the cable connectors; pull only on the coble ensuring the coble is not under tension.
• The allowable cable bend radius 1s 30mm.
• Cover connector with insulation tape before threading them through a hole.

Safety

• If you are installing an antenna for the first time or are unsure about how to install your antenna, obtain the help of a professional installer.
• Carefully survey the installation site before installation to locate secure handholds. dangerous conditions (such as power lines and weak roofs) and the safest and most convenient placement for ladders if necessary.

When Installing your antenna, remember:

1. Do not install near power lines as they can electrocute you.
2. Do not install on a wet or windy day or when lighting or thunder in the area,
3. wear shoes with rubber sell and heels and protective clothing (long sleeve shirt or jacket) and rubber gloves.
4. Avoid operating while under the influence of drugs. alcohol or medication.
5. Make sure that any loose-fitting jewelry or clothing is secured and he back long hair as they can get caught In moving ports during installation.
6. If the antenna starts to fall. step away from ovoid harm.

When drilling, remember:

1. Use safety goggles when dnll1ng the holes
2. Avoid using bits that are dull bent or damage
3. Be aware of where your fingers are, in relation to the drill bit when using the drilling machine (i.e .. don’t drill into your hand).
4. To stop the drilling machine. let the drill chuck come to a complete slop on its own. Do not grasp the chuck,n an attempt to stop the drill bit.
5. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the drill bit or cutting tool

CAUTION:
Antennas must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons so as to comply with SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) RF Exposure requirements.
