- It all Adds Up
QMS mounting straps may bother you at first, but they are
abrasion resistant, and two straps have a total thickness of
only about 4 mm, while retaining a tensile strength of over
1000 pounds.
Locating Body Openings for Cable Lead-Through. A
multi-conductor cable together with RF coax lead (within one
sheath), and a braided strap for RF grounding—within one
sheath—must feed from the SG-235 coupler (inside the QMS
system) through the vehicle body to connect to the SG-500
PowerCube, SG-2000 Transceiver, and the vehicle ground
(chassis).
Pre-existing holes: Notice some pre-existing holes in the
vehicle body used for ventilation or for wiring lead-throughs
from options that may or may not be installed on your vehi-
cle. Try to utilize these first: it is much simpler than drilling
holes in your car.
Knife-edge slot: Locate a door “knife-edge” or lip; file a
“slot” just wide enough for a cable to pass. In many instances
the rubber sealing strip can be slipped back in place over
the cable lead-through.
Installing the SG-235 inside the QMS. The black alu-
minum QMS serves not only as a mounting foundation for
the SG-303 whip antenna but also as a container for the SG-
235 Smartuner, offering it additional protection for the cou-
pler. Before starting, ensure that the two side panels are
removed from the QMS box, set them aside for now, and be
careful not to lose their mounting screws.
Installing Ground strap: To connect the braided RF ground-
ing strap, a good electrical and mechanical connection to the
vehicle chassis must be found. The strap is flat and flexible
enough to feed through most door/hatch edges without
affecting door closure.
