4.4.9. Adhesive Mount Antennas (QF028, QF034)
The adhesive mount antennas are designed to be attached to a non-conducting surface, preferably
the front windshield. The QF024 antenna is a GSMonly antenna meant to be installed in the cabin
with QC24X MainUnits in addition to a GPS+RF roof antenna (either QF012 or QF024). The QF034
is a combined GPS+GSM/LTE antenna which is dedicated to installations which use the QC220
MainUnit.
The antennas come with a 2.4m (8 foot) long coaxial cable and a male SMA connector.
The GSM/LTE antennas must be installed such that:
 In cabins with metallic roof, a minimum 1m distance is maintained from the SAFEmine
GPS/RF antenna and any other antenna emitting in the 800MHz to 2.4 GHz range.
 If the roof is non-metallic increase the minimum distance to 2m.
 At least 5cm clearance is given from any metal structure (i.e. four fingers wide).
 The antenna is mounted inside the vehicle in a dry place.
 The antenna is mounted vertically.
 The cable of the antenna is perpendicular to the antenna and does not bend for the first 5cm.
4.4.10. Bracket Mount Antennas (QF038)
SAFEmine supplies bracket mounts for QF038 WiFi Stick Antennas. The bracket is used to mount
the antenna on a rail or tubing. As with all SAFEmine equipment, electrical insulation between the
metal structure and the metallic antenna parts must be ensured at all time in order to avoid ground
current loops.
