GPS Antenna and Mount Kits Installation Instructions
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
(1) Phillips cross-head screwdriver. #2 (2) 7/16 open end wrenches INSTALLING THE STANDARD MOUNT KIT Note: The Standard Mount Kit contains 2 mounting bracket types. The two brackets can be used together, as the Standard Mount Kit shown in Figure 1, separately as the Collar Bracket Mount Kit shown in Figure 2, or separately as the L-Bracket Mount Kit shown in Figure 3. Refer to Figure 1. 1 Before you begin, be sure that the mounting pipe is the correct diameter and free of any components from previous installations. 2 Attach the L-bracket (1b) to the customer-supplied vertical mount- ing pipe using bolts (4b, 5b, 6b, and 7b). Locate in the desired posi- tion. 3 Tighten 0.25 hardware. 4 Insert the cable assembly, ftted with N male connector, through the collar (1a) and gasket (2). Install captive screws (3a). Do not install set screws (4a) for this confguration. 5 With the gasket (2) on top of the L-bracket, insert the cable as- sembly through the L-bracket and gasket. Attach the cable assembly to the GPS antenna and tighten the connector as required. 6 Slide the collar and gasket up to the antenna and attach the antenna by pushing the four captive screws through the gaskets and tighten them into the antenna base. 7 Install the weatherproofng (not provided with the Standard Mount Kit) that extends from directly underneath the fange on the collar bracket to at least 3 below the bottom of the collar measured on the cable assembly. The unused set screw holes are covered. Read these instructions thoroughly before assembly. Follow the sequence for proper assembly and operation. NOTICE The installation, maintenance, or removal of antenna systems requires qualifed, experienced personnel. Antenna systems should be inspected once a year by qualifed personnel to verify proper installation, maintenance, and condition of equipment. ANTENNA DESCRIPTIONS GPS-TMG-26N is a self contained GPS antenna and mount kit. The kit includes a right hand circularly polarized antenna that incorporates a 26 dB high performance, low noise amplifer. It also includes mounting hard- ware to attach the antenna to a vertical pipe within a range of diameters. See Mounting Pipe Diameters for each kit. GPS-TMG-40N is a self contained GPS antenna and mount kit. The kit includes a right hand circularly polarized antenna that incorporates a 40 dB high performance, low noise amplifer. It also includes mounting hard- ware to attach the antenna to a vertical pipe within a range of diameters detailed below. GPS-TMG-50N is a self contained GPS antenna and mount kit. The kit includes a right hand circularly polarized antenna that incorporates a 50 dB high performance, low noise amplifer. It also includes mounting hard- ware to attach the antenna to a vertical pipe within a range of diameters detailed below. Note: A +5 volt dc bias is required for each of the active antennas and is fed via the center conductor to provide power for the integrated low noise preamplifer. The voltage should already be present. MOUNTING KIT DESCRIPTIONS The Standard Mount Kit includes the Collar Bracket Mount Kit and the L-Bracket Mount Kit. Depending on your requirements, you can use these kits together or separately. Keep remaining materials for future use. Collar Bracket Mount Kit - Part # GPS-TMG-MNT Refer to Figure 1. The Collar Bracket Mount Kit includes these parts: Range of Mounting Pipe Diameters for Collar Bracket Mount Kit The Collar Bracket Mount Kit attaches the GPS antenna onto a customer-supplied vertical pipe with a diameter ranging from 1.05 (26.7 mm) to 1.315 (33.4 mm). Standard 3/4 and 1 pipe (which has an outside diameter of 1.05 (26.7 mm) and 1.315 (33.4 mm), respectively can be used. Note: The Collar Bracket Mount attaches to the top of the customer-supplied vertical pipe. Cable installation is through the internal diameter of the pipe.

Locate in the desired position. 2 Tighten 0.25 hardware. 3 With a gasket (2) on top of the L-bracket, insert the cable assem- bly through the L-bracket and gasket. Attach the cable assembly to the GPS antenna and tighten the connector as required. 4 Insert the four short screws (3b) through the L-bracket and gasket and attach the antennas and tighten the screws. Do not use captive screws for this confguration. 5 Install weatherproofng (not provided with the L-Bracket Mount Kit) that extends at least 2 below the bottom of the connector on the cable assembly to directly underneath the base plate of the antenna. INSTALLING THE COLLAR BRACKET MOUNT KIT Refer to Figure 2. 1 Install captive screws (3a) and set screws (4a) in collar (1a), then push captive screws (3a) through gasket (2) holes in order to retain the gasket. 2 Insert the cable assembly, ftted with N male connector, through the customer-supplied vertical mounting pipe, and collar and gasket assem- bly previously prepared. 3 Attach the cable assembly to the GPS antenna and tighten the con- nector as required. 4 Attach the collar and gasket assembly to the antenna and tighten the captive screws (3a) into the antenna base. 5 Slide the assembly down so that the collar slides over the mounting pipe. Tighten the set screws (4a). 6 Install weatherproofng (not included with the Collar Bracket Mount Kit) that extends from directly underneath the fange on the collar bracket to at least 3 below the bottom of the collar measured on the cable assembly.
