4.2.2 Installation
Figure 4.2.2-1: Antenna / Mast Mounting
Figure 4.2.2-1 depicts the Nomad Antenna Assembly Kit (01-P43410F) as it would be configured for a
quad antenna system and mounted on a flat surface. None of the cabling is depicted above.
Step 1: Mast Assembly: The Antenna Mast kit 01-P43460F001 should be assembled first.
Step 2: Install Mast: The mast must be located in the position determined in section 4.2.1. The mast
assembly may be mounted on a flat or pitched (slanted) surface. It will be configured as a two or four
antenna system in step 5 below. Lag bolts, item 8 (9178546), are provided to attach the universal tripod
item 6 (Ronnie 5) to any surface material that will accept the lag bolt. Flat washers, item 10 (90108A029),
are to be installed on the lag bolts prior to installation on the tripod foot. Tarpads, item 7 (78), are to be
installed between the foot of the tripod and the mounting surface to waterproof the attachment point. All of
the lag bolts, except 2 that will be used later for installation of the surge suppressor mounting bracket,
should be used for mounting the mast assembly. If the surface is concrete or some other material that will
not readily accept the lag bolt, lag bolt anchors, item 9 (97039A029), have been included in the kit.
Step 3: Lighting Rod: Install the 3-way fitting, item 13 (07-P43417F001), over the circular portion of the
lightning rod mount, item 12 (07-P43416F001), and secure the set screws using the 5/32 allen wrench, item
22 (7122A21), included in the kit. Prior to tightening the set-screws, the 3-way fitting should be located as
far onto the lightening rod mount as possible. Secure the lightning rod mount to allow installation of the
lightning rod, item 11(585CCAT-2/0). Prepare the lightning rod for installation by removing all of the
