Kluczowe kroki instalacji:

1. Determine Component Locations:
   • Ensure adequate space for the antenna head to rotate freely. A 24-inch diameter circle is required for rotation.
   • The antenna head must not rotate over the edge of the roof.
   • Orient the antenna so the coax cable exits the base towards the rear of the vehicle.
   • Locate the antenna such that the coax cable can reach the power inserter and KING WiFiMax inside the vehicle.
   • The power inserter and KING WiFiMax require a 110 VAC power source.
   • Notatka: Do not locate the interior components in a slide-out section of the vehicle.
2. Montaż anteny:
   • Drill a minimum 5/16" hole through the roof where the cable will enter the vehicle.
   • Feed the cable through the hole. Ważny: The cable has different connectors on each end.
   • Adjust the cable position to reach both the antenna and interior components.
   • Route the cable under the circuit board within the antenna base. Connect the cable to the circuit board. Keep as large a bend as possible in the cable. Ostrożność: Do not touch the circuit board. Hold the cable by the connector, not by the cable. Push the cable onto the circuit board connector until it "clicks."
   • Fill the coax channel with ROOF-COMPATIBLE sealant.
   • Apply sealant around the perimeter of the base.
   • Place the antenna in position. Ostrożność: Do not pinch the cable under the edge of the base.
   • Fasten the antenna to the roof with six (6) fasteners. The installer must determine the best fasteners to use based on the roof material.
   • Seal the six (6) fastener heads. Ensure the coax port and perimeter are fully sealed as well.
   • Seal the roof hole where the cable enters so it is completely waterproof.
   • Secure the cable to the roof every 12-18 inches.
3. Connect Interior Components:
   • If desired, install the included white or black wall plate.
   • Connect the cable from the antenna to the power inserter.
   • Connect the power inserter to the KING WiFiMax with the included short cable.
   • Plug in the power inserter and KING WiFiMax to a 110 VAC power source.
