OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS give you

information on handling mount bracket and accessories.

Before use, please read carefully.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

The K9000 mount is designed for lightweight VHF/UHF
mobile antennas that do not require direct RF grounding.
Flexible antennas (NR770H series) are desirable as they reduce
vibration and shock transferred to the K9000. Excessive torque
should be minimized to ensure satisfactory performance of the
K9000.

Recommended Antennas

For best performance, we recommend DIAMOND NR & SG
series antennas under 45” (such as NR73BNMO, NR770HA,
NR770HB, NR770RA, NR770HNMO, NR770HBNMO,
SG7500NMO, and SG7500A and SG-M510). Use the
DIAMOND SO-239 UHF style base connector and cable
assemblies (DIAMOND C101, C211, C213). For NMO style
antennas, use the DIAMOND C101NMO.

Important Safety Instructions

Explanation of Operation

The antenna may be raised or lowered by depressing Control
Switch. The mount motor contains a limit switch which shall
stop the antenna automatically at its end of travel. When the
switch is ON, the green lamp is lit when raising the antenna and
the red lamp is lit when lowering the antenna.

Features

• The mount bracket has a spring-type back torque limiter which
can prevent the antenna from rattling and protect the car and
mount bracket.

• A protective rubber sheet is attached to K9000TM bracket
which reduces possible discolorations or scratching of painted
surfaces.

• The mount bracket is fully adjustable from angles 45–90 de­grees. You can choose from 7 levels of adjustment with the con­trol knob (on side of motor drive).

• For simple wiring of motor drive, a cigar plug is included.
Mounting bracket and base fitment assemblies are separate for
easy angle adjustment.

• Vibration during driving may cause loosening of bolts
and screws. Check periodically and fasten if necessary.
“Locktite” compound can be used to secure threads.

• Should the antenna and mount bracket receive a sharp
impact, they could be broken and fall off which could cause
personal injury or damage. Drive carefully and avoid haz­ardous branches of trees, etc.

• Strong vibration (i.e. vehicles with diesel engines) may
cause excessive stress on the K9000 mount. Install the
antenna far away from the source of vibration.

Caution

To prevent any damage of the mount bracket, pay attention
to the following instructions.

• This mount bracket is designed for 12 volt negative ground
vehicles. Do not use it in a vehicle with incorrect voltage.

• Do not operate the mount bracket if external temperature is
near freezing or below.

• Avoid hitting obstacles during driving. To prevent such a
situation, the mount bracket has a back torque limiter which
has a spring to absorb impact. This back torque limiter will
work in one direction only.

* The mount bracket is designed for use in negative ground
cars. When the mount bracket is used in positive grounded
cars, the lamp will not light. Reverse connection of the power
cord.

Confirm the parts

Confirm all parts in the package. If any part of the mount bracket
is broken or missing, contact RF Parts with the part number.

Options

To install the mount bracket, optional mount hardware and
coaxial cables are needed. Choose the optional parts to match
the installation location.
