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 or black
powder coating.
Suitable for any flat roof the kit also includes 3m
extension cables for flexible mounting position.

Roam Extension Cables
Extension cables can be purchased separately to
allow a flexible mounting position to the router.

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.

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, do not use extension cables that are no longer than necessary.
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 Mini 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.

Fitting the Antenna
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.
3A. Please Note. Alternative Nut and Washer option
for thin metal roof applications is supplied. If this is
better suited for your application ignore step 3 & 4.
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.

9. The Antenna is now installed and ready to be
connected to a suitable 4G/5G Router.
6Please note:
SMA to TS9 Adaptors (included)
may need fitting depending on
your chosen Router Model.
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
making sure it’s facing the front of the vehicle -
Please reference Picture 7 below.
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. Once in position, use 1 x No.6 Screw to
secure the clamp in position.
