Introduction

This User Guide provides information on the installation
instructions of the PUCK-V1-W antenna.
Threaded Spigot Mounting
Use the Drill template below or download the 1:1 drill
template from http://www.poynting.tech/downloads.
•Choose the mounting location carefully and a
position at least 50cm from heat sources, with a
clear line of sight to the sky.
•Once you have decided on the location and
checked that there are no obstructions such as
cables or channels below the mounting surface,
for the fastening nut and cables to pass through,
use the downloaded 1:1 drill template to mark the
mounting location.
•To prevent the marking tool or drill sliding off course,
use masking tape over the drilling point to help
hold the drill point in place. The masking tape also
prevents hot shavings from the drill or hole saw which
could penetrate and damage the painted surface.
•Clean the entire surface on which you plan to mount
the antenna. Cleaning is done so as not to damage
the vehicle’s paint and to ensure good contact of
the foam surface to the mounting area.
•Alcohol wipes can be used to remove oil and dirt
from the surface.
•The 10mm Threaded Spigot should be used to
secure the antenna to a surface structure of 10mm
thickness or less. Likewise, the 50mm Threaded
Spigot should be used to secure the antenna to a
surface structure of 50mm thickness or less.
Securing the antenna
•Fasten the required spigot with the Flat head screws.
•Clean the plastic surface of the antenna base and
threaded spigot.
•Peel off one of the wax paper layers from the foam
seal and stick the foam seal to the plastic surface.
•Carefully slide the cable through the hole.
•Peel off the second wax paper layer and rmly press
the antenna down onto the surface.
•Tighten the nut so that it compresses the foam seal.
Note: Be careful not to over tighten the nut.

Installation Instructions
5
•Lay the antenna out at the installation site.
•Attach the bracket onto the base of the antenna
using 4 Flat head screws.
•Secure the cable tie or hose clamp around the
bracket and pole until the bracket is secured to
the pole.
Pole Mounting
Vertical Pole Mounting
•Select a suitable place for mounting the antenna
•Using the wall mount bracket as a guide, mark two
points to drill on the wall. Use a Ø6mm masonry drill
bit to drill the marked points.
•Use a masonry drill bit to drill a cable entry hole to
t the connector.
•Place the bracket over the two holes and line up
the holes in the bracket with the holes in the wall.
•Insert the two knock-in screws to mount the bracket
to the wall.

Antenna Installation Precautions
6
•Place the antenna at the highest point possible
and ensure that there aren’t any surrounding
obstructions to the antenna.
•In order to avoid communication interference,
ensure that the antenna is placed at least 0.5m
away from other antennas and metal objects.
•Avoid installing the antenna near a chimney, as
the smoke and soot emitted by the chimney can
obstruct the signal level achieved by the antenna.
•Install the antenna away from heat sources and
ammable gases.
Cable Routing
7
•Avoid wrapping the cables around the pole.
Route the antenna cables straight down the inside
of the pole to avoid using extra equipment such
as cable ties.
•Use the minimum cable length required. Do not
run more cable than needed to ensure minimum
cable losses are achieved.
•Never pull on the cable connectors; pull only on
the cable ensuring the cable is not under tension.
• The allowable cable bend radius is 30mm.
•Cover connector with insulation tape before
threading them through a hole.

•If you are installing an antenna for the rst time or
unsure about how to install your antenna, obtain
the help of a professional installer.
•Carefully survey the installation site before
installation to locate secure handholds, dangerous
conditions (such as power lines and weak roofs)
and the safest and most convenient placement for
ladders if necessary.
Safety
8
When installing your antenna, remember:
1. Do not install near power lines as they can
electrocute you.
2. Do not install on a wet or windy day or when
lightning or thunder is in the area.
3. Wear shoes with rubber soles and heels and
protective clothing (long sleeve shirt or jacket) and
rubber gloves.
4. Avoid operating while under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
5. Make sure that any loose-tting jewelry or clothing
is secured and tie back long hair as they can get
caught in moving parts during installation.
6. If the antenna starts to fall, step away to avoid harm.
When drilling, remember:
1. Use safety goggles when drilling the holes.
2. Avoid using bits that are dull, bent or damaged.
3. Be aware of where your ngers are in relation to the
drill bit when using the drilling machine (i.e., don’t
drill into your hand).
4. To stop the drilling machine, let the drill chuck come
to a complete stop on its own. Do not grasp the
chuck in an attempt to stop the drill bit.
5. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden
slip could cause a hand to move into the drill bit or
cutting tool.
CAUTION:
Antennas must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 20cm from all persons so as to
comply with SAR (Specic Absorption Rate) RF Exposure
requirements.
