SIR4-Truck Satellite Radio Antenna Introduction This antenna is designed for long haul trucks that employ single arm Sirius Satellite Radio applications. There are several methods of clamping this antenna to the long haul truck; Mirror Mounting, Air Dam Shield Mounting, Flap Mounting to the trucks cab and any flat surface accommodating the U-Bracket clamp style mounting.
Applications The TERK SIR4-Truck Satellite Radio Antenna is designed with multiple install options. When using the mirror mount bracket it can be installed on the driver side or passenger side rear view mirror of a truck or RV as shown in Figure 1. When using the included U-bracket the antenna can be mounted on the truck’s air dam shield, flap, or any flat surface that accommodates the U-bracket clamp style mounting. Figure 1.

Installation Installation Tips • The cable length as supplied is part of the electrical circuit of the antenna. DO NOT ALTER THE CABLE LENGTH. The cable must not be cut, spliced or altered in any manner, as satellite receiver reception will be adversely affected. Excess cable may be stored where it will not be damaged. • Care must be taken during installation to avoid nicks, cuts or damage to the cable and cable jacket. Once damaged the cable cannot be repaired and must be replaced.
SIR4-Truck Satellite Radio Antenna Mirror Mount Installation NOTE: The mounts supplied may not fit on all model year and make truck mirrors. If your rig does not have the chrome pipe type mirror bars you will need to use the Air Dam Shield mounting method or flat surface mounting method. 1. Insert the Antenna Assembly into the Mirror Mount Clamp hole. See Figure 2 on page 5. 2. On the bottom side of the Mirror Mount Clamp A place the 3/4” Ext. Tooth Lock Washer on the Antenna Assembly Shaft. 3.
Mirror Mount Installation Continued 12. Take the cable connector (180 degree connector) not the Right-Angle SMB Connector and hand tighten over the connector on the bottom side of the Antenna Assembly. See Figure 6. 13. Using the 5/16” open-end wrench, tighten the cable connector on the Antenna Assembly connector. 14. Place the rubber boot over the end of the Antenna Assembly shaft after the cable connector has been tighten. See Figure 6. 15.
SIR4-Truck Satellite Radio Antenna Air Dam Shield Mount Installation NOTE: The mounts supplied may not fit on all model year and make truck mirrors. If your rig does not have the chrome pipe type mirror bars you will need to use the Air Dam Shield mounting method or flat surface mounting method. 1. Insert the Antenna Assembly into the Air Dam Shield Clamp D hole. See Figure 7. 2. On the bottom side of the Air Dam Shield Clamp D place the 3/4” Ext. Tooth Lock Washer on the Antenna Assembly Shaft. 3.
Air Dam Shield Mount Installation Continued 10. Install antenna to Air Dam Shield of truck, See Figure 8. 11. Loosen two screws and two hex nuts in U-Bracket assembly. Note: Installation on tubular surface is NOT recommended. Insert Air Dam Shield edge between the U-Bracket Assembly and Clamp feet. See Figure 9. 12. Tighten clamp screws on U-Bracket Assembly evenly up against the Air Dam Shield to 15 ft-lbs. using the appropriate torque wrench and adapters (1/2” size, hex or open-end wrench).
