3.2 Mount the RF Antenna
The RF Antenna must be mounted so that it is vertical and is able to “see”
outside.
The RF Antenna can be mounted by removing the protective layer from the
adhesive back and attaching on the vehicle windshield.
In passenger cars, it is can usually be concealed behind the pillar molding on the
side of the windshield. The same location can be used near the rear window if
desired.
In busses, the RF Antenna can be mounted in the sign compartment area,
provided that it is manufactured of fiberglass.
The antenna cannot be concealed on all sides by metal.
Note
The RF Antenna should be fastened and secured appropriately.
Do not coil the antenna wire.
3.3 Connect the FG3 to the Battery or Power Source
Positive (+) connection can be from any 12 or 24 volt source.
If your power source is the battery, run a wire from the battery to the FG3
and connect it to BATT (+). This wire requires a 3 amp fuse to protect the
FG3.
3.4 Connect the FG3 to Ground
To connect the FG3 to ground, you can connect it to the vehicle metal
chassis, or to the negative (-) post on the vehicle's battery.
If you are connecting to the vehicle battery:
Prepare a black auto wire with a terminal on each end. Connect the black
(-) cable from BATT (-) on the FG3 to the negative (-) terminal on the
battery. Tie the wire to the vehicle frame.
If you are connecting to the vehicle metal chassis:
Connect a black ground cable from BATT (-) on the FG3 to one of the
FG3’s mounting screws. Loop the cable end around the screw, between
the screw head and the FG3 plate, and tighten the screw.
Note this will connect the FG3 to ground only if the FG3 is affixed to the
metal chassis of the car.
