2. Installation
Warning:
Please also note that the antenna height of the vehicle will change accor-
dingly! Please strictly adhere to the various points in the installation instruc-
tions!
Basically, we recommend that you leave the installation to make by your dealer or work-
shop!
General information:
Provide a suitable working environment, a garage/warehouse is better than open air.
The ambient temperature for installation is b5° C and max. +25° C. Work not
directly in the sun. Comply with the safety regulations when handling with chemical
products. Provide the necessary hygiene.
Preparation:
1. Make sure that the roof of your vehicle is sufficiently stable. In case of insufficient or
doubtful roof stability is an approximately 2 mm thick plate with 100 x 100 cm is to be
attached to the outer roof skin. Ask to your vehicle manufacturer.
2. Make sure that all parts are present. You may also need a roof penetration for the
connecting cable of the antenna. This you get in specialist shops.
3. Place the antenna on the installation area and align it so that the antenna connection
is not facing forward. Make sure that the mounting location is flat and do not interfere
with roof constructions that can interfere with satellite reception. Constructions up to
8 cm in height do not matter, higher constructions should have a respective distance
from the antenna, so that no barrier exists between the antenna and the satellite. The
least distance to an air conditioner should be 30 cm.
4. Clean the mounting surface with a suitable cleaner and a fleece cloth to remove dirt
and impurities. Then draw the antenna feet with a pen.
5. Roughen the drawn areas and feet
with sandpaper (120 grit) to easily and
thoroughly clean the surface again
with Cleaner (WARNING: then no lon-
ger touch areas) and let the clean dry
for about 10 minutes.
6. Unless you have a way to run the cable through an existing roof outlet, look for a
suitable place (best in the wind shadow behind the antenna) on the roof for the instal-
lation of a roof outlet to avoid the ingress of moisture (eg rain or splash water) in the
wellbore. Make sure that the cables are not curved too much to avoid signal loss and
damage the cable (bending radius max. 5-7 cm).
1. Prepare the glue for mounting.
2. Now take the glue on the underside of the antenna bases in
serpentine lines, so that the glue can harden well to the inside.
3. Now place immediately (within 5 minutes after adhesive application), the antenna
on the marked fields. Press your feet slightly and evenly and fix the antenna so that it
stays in place, eg by an adhesive tape. It must be after pressing for at least 2 mm glue
between antenna and surface. The adhesive is cured max. in 48 hours at +18° C and a
relative humidity of 50%. Should prevail low humidity during the assembly time, spray
after bonding in the vicinity of the antenna always some water in the air.
4. Remove any spilled adhesive immediately with a putty knife or similar and clean the
soiled surfaces with the cleaner and a fleece cloth.
5. For safety, you can attach the antenna bases additionally. Given by drill through the
existing hole in the respective antenna to the roof of your car and fix it with a screw
with locking nut. In order for the freshly bonded feet can not slip, wait with this work
until the adhesive has cured.
6. After the complete assembly and curing of the adhesive, a silicone can be drawn
around the antenna bases.
