Installation Instructions

Positioning your Roam Campervan
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 neccessary.
Roof Antenna Position
We recommend leaving 30cm gap from obstacles around the antenna to avoid interference issues
and mounting on a horizontal flat roof.
Router Wi-Fi Antenna Space (Ref page 10)
The internal router can be mounted in a horizontal or vertical orientation. However, bear in mind that the Wi-Fi
antenna should 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.

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.
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.

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.

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 inserted.

4. Connect the 12V power lead or the 230V PSU
(available to order separately) 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. Join the Antenna’s Coaxial Cables to the 2m
Extension Cable. Then attach the joined cables to the
Router to the 2 connectors marked Mobile’. Note the
order of the cables does not matter.
All connections should be kept inside the vehicle.
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 connector marked
Wi-Fi. This is marked ‘Wi-FI’. This should be positioned
so it is vertical.

1. Position router bracket and mark hole positions.
Depending on material, drill a pilot hole or use a
bradawl. Mount the router mounting bracket to the
surface using the 2 x No.6 Screws provided.
Note: Make sure the ‘Maxview Logo’ is
horizontal and in the correct orientation.
IMPORTANT - Be careful when placing the Routers
location that it is not too close to other electrical
control devices. Mounting too close can cause the
router to malfunction.
Router Installation
The optimum positioning for the WiFi antenna on the
Roam router is pointing directly upwards. However,
the unit can be fitted with the antenna at a 45° or 90°
angle, or pointing downwards or forwards.
This may have a small detrimental effect on the
signal strength, which will become more significant
at greater distances from the router. However, for
leisure vehicle applications, this will likely only cause
a negligible drop in performance.
