10 AMG1000BHx HD Truck Kit Installation Guide
5.0 Mounting the Unit
Once the AMG is connected to the Molex 8-pin connector as well as the Deutsch 4-pin
connector, the AMG base unit may be secured to the vehicle. An AMG is properly secured
when:
• It cannot be easily moved or jostled around
• The backpack antenna remains horizontal, with a clear line-of-sight to the sky. The
backpack antenna needs to be secured also if it has been unscrewed from the AMG.
• The 4 lights on the AMG are visible so that proper operation of the AMG may be
confirmed.
• No wires are loose or unsecured.
Securing the unit using Screws (preferred)
The unit may be secured to the vehicle using two #8 Pan Head Screws with a maximum
head diameter of 0.325". The recommended maximum torque is 6.0 in-lbs. If holes are to
be pre-drilled, space them 6 inches apart as shown in Figure 16.
