10.0 ANTENNA MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

Refer to Figure 10A below and perform the following steps to install the Direct Mount Antenna.

1. Locate a spot that allows the Antenna a view of the sky and where the antenna can be mounted according

to the instructions that follow. Note: It is advised to test the Antenna at the location where it is to be
mounted prior to mounting (and drilling holes) to verify proper operation.

 
2. Two 1/8” holes on the mounting plate are used to mount the antenna. Two #4 screws can be used to

secure the mounting plate. If using plastic anchors, drill two holes of the appropriate diameter and depth
(using the template provided on page 7) through the deck plane where you are mounting the antenna.

 
3. Press into each hole a plastic anchor until the top of the anchor is flush with the deck plane.

 
4. Drill a 5/8" hole (for the antenna connector/cable) slightly below where the antenna is to be mounted.

 
5. Route the antenna connector/cable through the 5/8" hole and then fasten the Antenna to the deck plane

using two (2) #4 screws.

 
6. Connect the antenna connector/cable to the "Antenna" connector on the rear panel of the ES-185U Master

Clock.

 
7. Fill the hole (through which the antenna connector/cable was routed) with an all-weather caulking

compound.

Note: If desired, the Antenna can be "magnet mounted" to any steel or other appropriate surface. The
mounting plate should be removed from the Antenna. The magnet is mounted to the Antenna.
