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 theSU-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 for guidelines regarding relative placement and how best to
connect the units.
ØTo install theSU-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 theSU-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 beingmounted 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 Installation Guide
2-4
Installing the Antenna
The SU-M-900 Antenna consists of the following components:
♦An antenna base & whip combination
♦A lock nut
♦An O-Ring washer
♦A bushing assembly with an O-Ring.
ØTo install the antenna on the roof or body of a car:
1. Position the antenna as far from the emergency ligh ts as possible while
still on a relatively flat surface. The surface thickness must be between
0.20” to 0.40”.
2. Drill a ¾” (19 mm) hole in the selected area.
3. 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.
4. Insert the bushing assembly into the hole from the top of the car by
tilting the assembly slightly and slipping it into the hole at an angle.
5. Once the bushing assembly is inserted hold it in place either within the
car, from below the hole, using a 1/2" Open-Ended wrench or
Adjustable wrench,
Or
From above, by gripping the bushing assembly using Bent
Needle-Nosed pliers inserted in the 0.1" holes on the top of the
bushing assembly.
WARNING:
Do not use the antenna connector to hold the bushing assembly in place. This may
damage the unit.
6. Thread the lock nut onto the bushing assembly, ensuring that the
O-ring is inserted in the groove of the lock nut before tightening.
7. Tighten the lock nut until it comes into contact with the surface and
the O-ring is fully compressed against the surface.
8. Slip the O-ring washer over the bushing assembly and lock nut until it
is flush with the surface.
9. Thread the antenna base onto the lock nut and tighten the connection
using a 1" Open-Ended wrench or Adjustable wrench.
