Positioning your Roam
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 Space
We recommend leaving 30cm gap from obstacles around the antenna to avoid interference issues.
Router Wi-Fi Antenna Space
The internal router can be mounted in a horizontal or vertical orientation. However, bear in mind that the Wi-Fi
antenna must be vertical for maximum performance. You must leave enough space for this.
Power Supply
The router comes with 12V cigarette adaptor. You should ensure your router power supply can reach your
preferred power source.
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 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 4) for a more suitable
mounting option.

Important Antenna Installation Information
10 - 50mm

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.

2. Remove the SIM tray and lay the standard size SIM card flat with the metal chip face facing up. Ensure it is in
the correct orientation and sitting completely flat in the holder.
3. Insert the SIM tray back into the router. The metal chip should still be facing upwards and the SIM text on the
front of the tray should be the correct way up. The tray should push into the slot without resistance, until it is
fully inserted.
The SIM is now insterted.

4. Connect the 12V power lead or the 230V PSU and
route the lead to your power source.
5. Place the router into the mounting bracket.
The router can be removed from the bracket at any
time to change the SIM card as required.
6. The installation is now complete. You may
wish to tidy up cable routing to suit your installation.
2. Attach the antenna coaxial cables to the bottom 2
connectors. These are marked ‘mobile’. Note the order
of the cables does not matter.
IMPORTANT - To prevent damage take
care to ensure the centre pins are
aligned before attaching the connector.
3. Attach the Wi-Fi antenna to the top connector.
This is marked ‘Wi-FI’. This should be positioned so it
is vertical.
