1
/
8
” and 1”
diameter by using the appropriate adapter (supplied).
Tools required: Drill and drill bit for ¼” screws;
screwdriver; wrench or pliers
Installation Instructions
Choose an antenna mounting location that is as high as feasible,
as free as possible from obstructions, and as far as possible from
other antennas and strong sources of RF.
1. Loosen the wing nut on top of the Standoff Bracket and slide
the retainer bar out of the way. Gently place the antenna in
its mounting position in the U-shaped opening in the bracket.
For 1
1
/
8
” and 1” antennas, put the appropriate reducing adapter
(supplied) in the opening.
2. Rotate the retainer bar over the antenna to lock it in place.
3. Using the Standoff Bracket itself as a template, mark the
position for its mounting holes.
4. Drill ¼” mounting holes, and install the bracket using stainless
steel machine screws, washers, lockwashers, and nuts (hardware
sold separately). For mounting to some types of surfaces, you
might need to substitute stainless steel woodscrews or other
hardware (not supplied).
IMPORTANT: If the thickness of the mounting
surface is not adequate to support the antenna under
expected stress, a wooden back-up pad (not supplied)
should be applied underneath the mounting surface
during installation.
5. Tighten the wing nut to secure the antenna in the bracket. The
completed installation should attach the antenna rmly to the
mounting surface, leaving no “play” between the antenna and
the standoff bracket.
