Sirius Satellite Radio SRA-40 Pedestal Mounting, Follow Steps 2 through 5 above. Then

DO NOT CUT THE CABLE OR REMOVE THE CONNECTOR!

Step 3: Secure the antenna to the mounting surface with the supplied retaining nut and lock washer (see Figures 2 & 3). A small bead of RTV around the outer edge of the antenna base is recommended to insure a watertight seal.

PEDESTAL MOUNTING

If you are attaching the antenna/pedestal assembly to a flat surface, the cable with its connector attached can be routed through a 9/16” hole drilled in the mounting surface, or passed through the Mounting Flange. Do not cut the cable and do not remove the connector.

If you are running the cable through the mounting surface:

Step 1: Drill a 9/16” center hole for the antenna cable. When drilling fiberglass surfaces, use a small backup block of scrap wood to control push-through splintering. Use caution to avoid drilling through or near fuel lines, fuel tanks, hydraulic lines, or electrical wiring.

Step 2: Attach the Thread Adapter to the SRA-40 antenna; then attach the Mounting Flange to the Thread Adapter and place the Mounting Gasket in the Mounting Flange (refer to the diagram at right). Orient the antenna so that the Galaxy® name faces forward (or otherwise as you prefer). Mark a pencil line on the flange and the mouting surface to serve as an index in step 6b.

Step 3: While holding the Mounting Gasket to the surface, lift off the assembly and use the Mounting Gasket as a template to mark locations for the mounting screws.

Step 4: The supplied mounting screws will accommodate most surfaces. If you find them too long, too short, or otherwise unsuitable for your application, substitute wood screws, machine screws/ washers/nuts, or other hardware (not supplied). Be sure to use only stainless steel hardware. If you find it too difficult to start the screws, drill 7/64” pilot holes.

Step 5: Unscrew the Mounting Flange from the Thread Adapter and place the Mounting Gasket in the Mounting Flange.

Step 6a: Attach the Mounting Flange and gasket to the surface, oriented according to the mark made in step 2. Use the supplied self-tapping screws or other stainless steel hardware (not supplied). Do not overtighten.

Step 7a: Attach the Thread Adapter with antenna to the Mounting Flange.

Skip to “Completing the installation” on page 5.

If you are running the cable through the side of the Mounting Flange:

Follow Steps 2 through 5 above. Then:

Step 6b: Use needle nose pliers to break off one of the three cable knockouts in the Mounting Flange, as determined and marked in step 2 above. The choic of knockout must be determined in step 2.

(See illustration on page 2)

Step 7b: Position the cable in the gasket’s knife-slit while fitting the gasket into position in the Mounting Flange.

Step 8: LOOSELY attach the Mounting Flange with Gasket to the surface, orienting it according to the mark made in step 2. Use the supplied self-tapping screws or other stainless steel hardware (not supplied). Do not overtighten.
