Bracket Fixing Kit - For roof mounting
The raiser bracket allows you the flexibility to
mount your antenna anywhere on your roof and
enter the cable at your preferred point using the
supplied cable entry cover. Alternatively you may
have an existing cable entry point you may like to
utilise instead.
Designed and manufactured specifically for the
Antenna, the aluminium bracket is lightweight,
strong and finished with a durable white powder
coating.
Suitable for any flat roof the kit also includes 3m
extension cables for flexible mounting position.

allow a flexible mounting position to the router.
*For use with this 4x4 antenna you will need to
order 2 packs.

Accessories - Sold separately
Weatherproof Socket with SMA Connectors*
The Weatherproof Socket provides an external entry
point into the side of any vehicle. Available with 2
SMA connections, making it ideal when using the
Roam Antenna with the Roam Bracket Fixing Kit
(See left) to allow for a temporary connection or
where entry into the roof is not possible.
It can also be used for other applications where an
external SMA connection is required.
*For use with this 4x4 antenna you will need to
order 2 weatherproof sockets.

Positioning your Antenna
Distance between Router and Antenna
For best performance, we recommend mounting the
router in close proximity to the roof mounted
antenna. For best performance, only use the antennas
standard 0.8m coaxial cables.
This means, once you have a suitable location for the
router inside the vehicle, you must also ensure there
is a suitable space on the roof to position the antenna
in close proximity to the router. For example, if you
would like to position your router in an overhead
cupboard, we recommend mounting the antenna
directly above the cupboard space.
Roof Antenna Position
We recommend leaving 30cm gap from obstacles
around the antenna to avoid interference issues
and mounting on a horizontal flat roof.
1. The 3M seal provides a permanent installation.
The adhesive is extremely strong and the antenna is
not designed to be removed. Please ensure you are
completely happy with your antenna’s position and
orientation before installation.
2. The Roam 5G antenna is designed to be mounted
directly to a horizontal, flat and smooth surface such
as GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) with the coaxial
cables passing directly through the roof underneath
the centre of the antenna. The standard installation is
designed for roof thicknesses from 10mm up to 50mm.
If this does not suit your installation, please see our
mounting accessories (page 3) for a more suitable
mounting option.

Fitting the Antenna
These instructions are for the standard through-the-roof installation as supplied.
1. Once you have a suitable position for the antenna,
cut out the supplied template. Use to mark the 25mm
centre hole position and mark the outside of the
antenna.
2. At the marked centre position, drill a 2.5mm pilot
hole through the roof. Use a 25mm hole saw to drill
out the centre hole through the roof.
Tidy up the hole to remove swarf and sharp edges.
3. Use the Antenna clamp to gauge the depth of the
roof. The best way to do this is to sit the Antenna
clamp upside down through the hole. Then, from the
inside, mark on the clamp where the clamp passes
through the ceiling and into the vehicle.
4. Remove the clamp and cut the clamp shaft to the
correct length. The correct length for your installation
will be the roof depth minus 3mm. This will ensure
the clamp does not bottom out on the antenna when
tightened.
E.g. If roof depth is 30mm. The clamp shaft should be
cut 27mm along the shaft.

5. Clean the surface where the antenna will be
installed, ensuring it is free from debris and grease.
6. Pass the cables through the hole and remove the
self-adhesive backing from the 3M seal. Pass the
cables through the roof and position the antenna with
the embossed arrow facing the front of the vehicle
and the outside edge of the antenna aligning with the
marks added earlier.
IMPORTANT - Ensure the position of the
antenna is central to your markings,
as once stuck down, the antenna is not
designed to be removed.
7. Press firmly around the edges of the antenna to
ensure a watertight seal has been achieved.
8. From the inside of the vehicle, attach the clamp
and turn clockwise onto the thread protruding from
the bottom of the antenna. Continue to turn until
the clamp is compressing the seal underneath the
antenna.
9. Once in position, use 1 x No.6 Screw to secure the
clamp in position.
10. The Antenna is now installed and ready to be
connected to a suitable 4G/5G Router.
