5. Assemble screws (1) with flat washers (3) and split lock washers (2) as shown in Figure
2-2 and torque to requirements.
6. Connect coaxial cable as shown in Figure 2-3 and hand tighten.
7. After connecting the cable to the antenna (Figure 2-3), wrap the connector with self-
vulcanizing tape to ensure a water-tight seal.
8. Run coaxial cable to the TU installation location.
Installation of the Certus 200 Broadband Active ANTENNA (BAA)
Magnetic Mounts
The Base kit available for the Certus 200 MissionLINK system does not include magnetic
mounts, but these can be ordered as an accessory for convenient quick mounting of the antenna.
Certus 200 Magnetic Mount kit is 1100856-501 and contains 3 magnets and mounting hardware.
1. Assemble magnets with M4 standoffs to antenna at the three mounting points as shown in
Figure 2-4 and hand tighten.
NOTE
Do Not tool tighten or torque the mounts. Doing so could cause
damage to the unit.
2. Place Antenna in desired final operating location on ferrous surface with all three
magnets in contact with surface. Failure to make contact with all three magnets may
cause loss of mount integrity.
3. Connect coaxial cable and hand tighten.
4. After connecting the cable to the antenna, wrap the connector with self-vulcanizing tape
to ensure a water-tight seal.
5. Run coaxial cable to the TU installation location.
Hard Mount
Currently a hard mounting kit is not available for this antenna, but user provided M4 stainless
steel screws could be used in the same mounting locations as the magnetic mounts shown in
Figure 2-4. Use care not to over-tighten screws into those threaded mounting holes as they are
only 5mm deep. Over-tightening could damage the antenna. Use spacers as needed to make sure
the Breather Vent has clearance and is not flush with a wet surface.
