4. IMPORTANT: While holding the antenna against the mounting
plate, position the cable through the notch as shown and screw
in the hex locking nut in place. Make sure the cable is between
the spacer’s notch at all times to avoid crushing it.
5. Using a 22mm (0.87 in) spanner or an adjustable wrench,
tighten the nut enough for the spacer’s teeth to sink into
the mounting plate.
6. The antenna should look like below image after installation.
7. Finally, connect the other end of the antenna cable to
the Beam Iridium terminal or accessory connector. It
is recommended to use appropriate strain relief on the
cables to avoid damaging them.
Antenna Installation
1. The antenna comes with an SMA to TNC Adapter. The
adapter is required to connect to the Beam Iridium
terminal or accessory. Choose or make a mounting
hole size between 15mm to 18mm (0.59-0.71 in) and a
maximum plate thickness of 5mm (0.2 in). The mounting
plate should be wide enough that the antenna’s rubber
seal will sit ush on it creating a watertight seal
around it. The antenna diameter is 75mm (2.95 in). For
illustration purposes a small piece of mounting plate
is used in this guide. It is recommended to install it on
a stainless steel surface of 5mm (0.2 in) thickness for
durability.
2. Remove the hex locking nut from the base of the Single
Mode Bolt Mount Antenna (A).
3. Attach the SMA to TNC Adapter (B) to antenna (A). Pass
the antenna cable down through the mounting hole. Pull
the cable through until the antenna sits comfortably on
the mounting plate.
