GlassFix® mounting principle.
Mounting on car window glass – no holes required.
Double-adhesion procedure ensures fast and reliable fixing.
Internal matching unit feeds external antenna through window glass.
Half-wave design – no ground plane required.
High positioning gives performance equal to conventionally mounted car
roof antenna.
FME FastCabling system (cable to be ordered separately).
Simple tuning procedure by means of tuning screw on matching unit.
Easily removable whip for cleaning in car-washing machine.
Swivel joint for 180° angle adjustment.

ASSEMBLY DETAILS
INSTALLATION
1. BEFORE INSTALLATION
When selecting mounting location take into consideration: positions of
back view mirror, wiper blade paths and defrosting wires (when
mounting on rear window). The driver’s view should not be obstructed.
Max. allowed curvature of the glass surface on the mounting spot is 2
mm deflection per 100 mm length.
Environmental- and car temperature must be above 15° C at installation
and surfaces to be glued must be dry and clean.
2. INSTALLATION
Do not use sealer on rubber gasket or other places.
3. AFTER INSTALLATION
Allow the silicone gluings to dry off 2 hours at a temperature above 15°
C. To ensure full strength of the glue, it is recommended to keep the
whip off the mount for 24 hours.
4. TUNING INSTRUCTIONS
Insert a forward/reflection-type wattmeter between the transmitter and
the antenna.
Key the transmitter and observe the forward and the reflected power.
Adjust the tuning screw on the matching unit until minimum returned
power is obtained.
REINSTALLATION KIT
A reinstallation kit including all necessary parts for transfer of the antenna to
another vehicle is available under order No. »GF-RK« (130000329).
WARNING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Antennas mounted on the windscreen may cause relatively high field
strengths in the passenger cabin and near the dashboard.
To prevent health hazard due to RF radiation, persons must not be
1.
closer than 30 cm to the antenna whip (transmitter output power to
the matching unit: 20 W). (DIN 57 848).
The RF signals at the dashboard may cause interference in electronic
2.
equipment such as broadcast radio, computer automatics, braking
systems, electronic ignition, relays etc. Some cars are more
susceptible to disturbances than others.
It is the responsibility of the installer to carry out a thorough check of
the proper functioning under any conditions of such circuits before
finishing installation.
The supplied silicone adhesive contains acetic acid and fungicides. Keep out
of reach of children and dispose properly.
PROCOM A/S reserve the right to amend specifications
without prior notice.
