  • Connect the 2 cables for Wi-Fi (labeled “Wi-Fi”) to ports labeled Wi-Fi.
  • Connect the GPS cable to the port labeled GPS (even if GPS is not used).

Placement Recommendations:

  • Avoid placing the antenna under a solar panel as this can block the signal.
  • The antenna can be placed anywhere on the roof, even near illuminated objects.
  • Ensure the cable length of 2.5 meters is sufficient for the desired placement.

Steps for Installation:

  1. Drill a hole in the roof:
    • Select a location where the antenna can sit securely.
    • Ensure the hole diameter matches the cable requirements.
  2. Secure the antenna base:
    • Remove the protective 3M adhesive strip from the antenna base.
    • Apply SikaFlex around the drilled hole and on the screw base to create a watertight seal.
  3. Attach the antenna:
    • Place the antenna over the hole.
    • Tighten the screws firmly and apply SikaFlex around the screws to prevent water leakage.
  4. Check stability:
    • Ensure the antenna does not move after installation.
    • Apply additional SikaFlex if needed for a secure fit.
