6 Installation

1. Select a mounting position that meets the following re­quirements:

 The antenna can be centered on a ground plane
 A minimum of 203 mm (8 in) of ground plane is avail-

able in all directions around the antenna

 The antenna is positioned a minimum of 406 mm

(16 in) from adjacent antennae or metallic structures

 A minimum area of 51 mm (2 in) is available on the

underside of the mounting surface to allow for torque­ing and cable routing

2. Cut or drill a 25.4 mm (1 in) diameter hole through the
mounting the surface .

3. Remove all sharp edges from the mounting hole to pre­vent cable damage during installation.

4. Clean the mounting surface around the hole. Make sure
the surface is free of any debris that may prevent the VHB
foam gasket or outer rubber gasket from forming a proper
seal.

5. If installed, remove the slotted lock nut  from the mount­ing stud .

6. Route the cables  through the mounting hole, making
sure to not damage the jacket.

7. Remove the liner  from the bonding tape on the under­side of the antenna .

8. Align the mounting stud with the hole and press the an­tenna against the mounting surface.

9. Route the cables through the slotted lock nut.

10. Install the slotted lock nut on the mounting stud and hand
tighten.

11. Tighten the slotted lock nut until the antenna is fully seat­ed, or tighten with a torque wrench to 8 N·m (6 lbf-ft).

12. Make sure the outer seal  on the antenna is properly
seated and has formed a proper seal between the mount­ing surface and antenna.

13. Connect the cables to the associated RUGGEDCOM
RX1400. For more information, refer to the RUGGED-

COM RX1400 Installation Guide
