Figure 3-10. Typical Dash-Mount Micom-Z Installation within Vehicle

NOTE

To achieve maximum operating range, the antenna should be

mounted as high on the vehicle body as possible without striking

overhead obstructions in the normal service area of the vehicle. Select

a mounting location on a flat portion of the vehicle body, compatible

with the maximum allowable high voltage lead-in cable length to the

ATU.

After determining the locations of the various components within the vehicle, install as follows:

1. Install the whip antenna, or the FAD1410 antenna system, in accordance with the

manufacturer’s installation manual.

2. Install the ATU (when used) in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation manual, and

connect its high-voltage lead to the whip antenna. Make sure to provide a good grounding

connection.

3. Install the Micom-Z mounting tray in the

prescribed location.

• Check the mounting surface and the

holes used to attach the mounting tray.

Thoroughly clean the mounting surface

and remove all paint, grease and dirt

from the holes in order to provide a

better grounding connection.

• Place the tray in the prescribed location,

and align its holes with the holes on the

mounting surface.

• Insert a bolt with springwasher through

each tray hole, and screw it into the

corresponding hole of the mounting

surface. Tighten securely each bolt.

NOTE

If the holes in the mounting surface

do not include threaded inserts, use

nuts with toothwashers.
