Installation Instructions

Choose an antenna mounting location that is as high as feasible, as free as possible from obstructions, and as far as possible from other antennas and strong sources of RF.

1.Loosen the wing nut on top of the Standoff Bracket and slide the retainer bar out of the way. Gently place the antenna in its mounting position in the U-shaped opening in the bracket. For 11/8” and 1” antennas, put the appropriate reducing adapter (supplied) in the opening.

2.Rotate the retainer bar over the antenna to lock it in place.

3.Using the Standoff Bracket itself as a template, mark the position for its mounting holes.

4.Drill ¼” mounting holes, and install the bracket using stainless steel machine screws, washers, lockwashers, and nuts (hardware sold separately). For mounting to some types of surfaces, you might need to substitute stainless steel woodscrews or other hardware (not supplied).

IMPORTANT: If the thickness of the mounting surface is not adequate to support the antenna under expected stress, a wooden back-up pad (not supplied) should be applied underneath the mounting surface during installation.

5.Tighten the wing nut to secure the antenna in the bracket. The completed installation should attach the antenna firmly to the mounting surface, leaving no “play” between the antenna and the standoff bracket.
