♦ Installation tools and materials

Installation
2-3
Installing the SU-M-900 Unit
The SU-M-900 unit must be installed securely in the vehicle. Four screws
are needed to mount the SU-M-900 to either a sheet metal or a wooden
surface.
The position of the SU-M-900 unit must enable it to be easily connected to
the PC, the omni antenna and the power supply. See the connection
diagram (Figure 2-1 on page 2-6) for guidelines regarding relative placement
and how best to connect the units.
 To install the SU-M-900:
1. Place the unit against the surface to which it is to be mounted. Mark
the screw placement using four of the mounting holes in the unit as
guides.
2. Drill four holes in the surface using the marks you made.
3. Clear all paint, dirt and oil away from the area around the holes.
4. If the SU-M-900 unit is being mounted directly to the car chassis,
sheet metal screws should be used. Star washers must be used to
provide a ground connection through the screw to the metal car body,
Or
If the SU-M-900 is being mounted on a non-conductive surface, such
as wood, suitable ¾” wood screws should be used.
5. In addition to the star washers a ground strap with a terminal lug is
needed for connecting the SU-M-900 ground screw, which is located on
the front panel, to another grounding point in the car body.
6. Affix the unit firmly in place with the appropriate screws.

BreezeACCESS SU-M-900 Installation Guide

Installing the Antenna
The SU-M-900 Antenna consists of the following components:
♦ An antenna base & whip combination
♦ 3/4 “ Hole Mount kit
♦ .067” gasket
♦ N-Type plug to SMA jack cable.
 To install the antenna on the roof or body of a car when
access to bottom side of mounting plate is not available:
1. Position the antenna as far from the emergency lights as possible while
still on a relatively flat surface. The maximum plate thickness in the
chosen location should not exceed 0.062”. Connect the cable (SMA
jack) to SMA plug on antenna mount. Tighten securely.
2. Punch/drill a 0.75” (19 mm) diameter hole in the selected area. Clear
all paint, dirt and oil away from the immediate area around the hole. It
is important that there be a clean metal-to-metal contact point between
the antenna mount and the car.
3. Feed cable through hole from topside and fish out where access is
available on bottom side.
4. Assemble mount through hole from top side by angling cable side of
flange through the hole, sliding mount as far to edge of hole as
possible, dropping the opposite end of the flange through the hole and
centering the mount base in the hole.
5. Assemble the O-ring into groove on brass nut (1 1/8 – 18 M-mount
interface nut).
6. Assemble brass nut onto mount body. Tighten brass nut until O-ring is
compressed and brass nut is in contact with mounting plate. Hold
mount body from spinning using spanner wrench applied to two holes
on top of mount body.
7. Route cable to desired location.
8. Assemble antenna gasket over brass nut of mount.
9. Assemble antenna to mount tightening by hand until snug and gasket
is slightly compressed.
