Disclaimer

The antenna should be installed by a suitably-

WARNING
qualified technician, to the relevant standards and approvals.
While the following instructions are intended to assist with installation, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to ensure that the antenna is installed with due regard to pedestrian and vehicle-occupant safety, particularly in the event of a vehicle accident. Codan accepts no responsibility or liability in the event of injury to pedestrians or vehicle occupants or any other damage due to insecure or otherwise unsafe or inappropriate installation of the antenna.

What you need to consider

The antenna is a critical element in an HF communications system. Correct installation of the antenna provides efficient operation over the frequency range of the transceiver. A good installation ensures the antenna provides optimum output power during transmission and clear reception of weak signals.
When installing the antenna you must consider:
the location and mounting of the antenna
how to provide a good earth plane for the antenna
the routing of the coaxial and control cable
10 Automatic Whip Antenna 3040 Installation Handbook
Installing the antenna

Location

To obtain optimal radiation efficiency from your antenna, and optimal reception at your antenna, it must be mounted in a location that:
is clear of surrounding body work
supports a good earth plane
supports the RF earthing required for correct tuning and loading
allows for best radiation (open and clear of all metal obstructions)
When mounted, the antenna:
must not obscure the driver’s vision
must not obscure number plates or vehicle lights
should not interfere with engine or car openings
must clear electric power lines, overhanging trees, bridges etc
must not breach vehicle-licensing regulations
A mounted antenna must have:
a strong anchorage for the base of the antenna
a sound electrical connection to the vehicle chassis
The mounting footprint in Figure 4 on page 12 shows the required space for the base of the antenna tuner.

Installing the antenna

CAUTION
mounted on the side opposite to the driving position.

Mounting bracket

The antenna must be mounted on a sturdy metal plate (at least 8 mm (0.3 in) thick). The mounting bracket and fixing should be able to withstand any vibrations induced from the vehicle travelling over an off-road surface. A strong metal plate that is large enough to support the antenna will also provide efficient earthing. The plate must have a 15 mm (0.6 in) hole to accept the mounting screw.
NOTE
You should consider any overall height restrictions that are relevant to your vehicle.
The bracket should be located so that any flexing of the antenna assembly does not damage the panels of the vehicle.
The installed antenna should enable easy access to the connectors.
Automatic Whip Antenna 3040 Installation Handbook 15
Installing the antenna

Earthing

Most mobile antennas are considerably shorter than a quarter wavelength at HF, and can exhibit an extremely low radiation resistance. Consequently, their efficiency is reduced compared with the quarter-wave radiator that they represent. This can be improved by good installation practices, and most importantly, by the provision of a low-impedance earth return for the antenna.
Due to the relatively poor earth plane surrounding a mobile HF antenna, best use should be made of what is available. A reduction in any losses can increase antenna current and radiation. This can often be achieved by providing a good earth connection from the base of the antenna to nearby bodywork. An earth wire is provided for this. Connections to the vehicle chassis are not as effective because many 4WD vehicles have insulating mountings from body to chassis.
A strong metal plate that is large enough to support the antenna will provide efficient earthing. The plate should be welded to the chassis or some other part of the vehicle’s frame.
The mounting bracket and plate must be free of rust and paint to allow metal-to-metal contact between the base of the antenna and the mounting bracket. This electrical bond is the basis for effective RF earthing. RF currents flow on the conductor surface, therefore good RF earthing requires conductors with large surface areas.
NOTE
Conductive grease should be used on the touching surfaces to help prevent corrosion.
The RF earth differs from the DC earth required by the battery and the vehicle’s electrics. For more information on power supply factors and earthing the transceiver, see the documentation provided with the transceiver.
16 Automatic Whip Antenna 3040 Installation Handbook
Installing the antenna

Cabling

The coaxial cable between the antenna and the transceiver should be installed as far as possible from other vehicle wiring, especially high-tension ignition wiring or the engine management computer.
The cabling must be in a position that:
is away from the driver’s feet
is secured and concealed as much as possible
is secured behind protective metalwork (only if the cables run under the vehicle)
Keep cables in the engine compartment away from:
heat, for example, exhaust, air-conditioning systems, and water pipes
oils and corrosive liquids, for example, engine oil, battery fluid, and brake fluid
Protect all the cables from sharp edges and mechanical abrasions. Cables that pass through body panels or internal bulkheads must be protected by rubber grommets. Holes in the bulkhead need only be large enough to allow the end of the cable with the smaller connector to pass through. Removing a connector should be a last resort.
CAUTION
Removal of factory-fitted connectors may cause cable or connector faults.
Crimp-style coaxial connectors are not suitable
CAUTION
for vehicle installations because they are not weatherproof.
NOTE
Automatic Whip Antenna 3040 Installation Handbook 17
Any cabling under carpet or floor mats should be clear of foot traffic.
Installing the antenna

Installing a 3040 Automatic Whip Antenna

To install the antenna on a vehicle:
1 Attach the mounting bracket to the vehicle in a manner
that complies with the relevant safety standards and approvals.
1 Clean the mounting surface of all dirt, rust, and paint.
NOTE
Codan recommends that conductive grease is applied to the mounting surface.
1 Remove the M14 nut and all washers from the M14
mounting stud at the base of the antenna.
1 Insert the mounting stud into the hole on the mounting
bracket, then locate the flat washer, spring washer, and nut onto the mounting stud.
1 Tighten the nut until the spring washer is compressed. 1 Connect an earth wire to a convenient bolt on the
bodywork.
NOTE
Ensure a good electrical connection is made.
1 If you are connecting the antenna to:
• an NGT Transceiver see the cable connections provided in Table 2
• a 2110 Manpack Transceiver see the Fitting Instructions provided with the mounting cradle and or equipment

Installing an NVIS kit with a 3040 Automatic Whip Antenna

An NVIS kit (Codan part number 78-14010) is available for attaching to a 3040 antenna. For information on installing this kit with the antenna see the instructions provided with the kit.
The NVIS kit is designed to improve the performance of short to medium-range HF communications for the 3040 antenna by increasing the high-angle radiation characteristics. Typically, these communication distances are 20 to 500 km (12 to 310 mi). The operating frequency range when using the NVIS kit is 2 to 12 MHz.
The vertical radiation pattern from a short vertical whip antenna is very poor. As such, HF communications over short distances may be difficult or non-existent from such an antenna. The NVIS kit lengthens the whip section of the 3040 antenna. The NVIS whip is longer and positioned horizontally to improve the vertical radiation efficiency.
