Mounting a COM Antenna
The SAM and Gateway each require their own COM
Antenna. A COM antenna can be mounted on a pole or a flat
surface. The included U-bolts allow installation on poles up
to 2.0 inches in diameter. Additional hardware may be
needed to mount the COM antenna to a flat surface. See the
BarMate site survey to determine where the COM antenna
should be mounted and what hardware is needed. The
following procedure describes how to mount the antenna to
a pole.
►
Note: The COM Antennas for the Gateway and SAM
should be mounted before they are attached to their
respective devices. Also, the Gateway and SAM should be
installed and operational before they are connected to their
COM Antennas.
To mount the COM Antenna
1 Use two U-bolts to attach the mounting bracket to the
pole.
2 Remove the mounting nut and washer from the base of
the antenna. See Figure 11 on page 4.
