1—VCA10005 Antenna 2—Drip Loop in Antenna 3—VCU10038 GPS Antenna 5—Tie Band
Mounting Bracket Cables 4—VCU10034 Cellular Antenna
CAUTION: Never modify by drilling or
welding a Roll Over Protection Structure
(ROPS). Structure may fail during a roll over
accident.
The Falling Objects Protection Structure
(FOPS) may be modified by drilling holes up
to 25 mm (1.0 in.) diameter.
FCC Antenna Warning Label
While the device is in operation, a separation of at least 500 mm
(20 in.) must be maintained between antennae and the body of
the user or nearby persons in order to meet the FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
• Antennas must be mounted outside the cab at least
500 mm (20 in.) away from the machine operator.
• Cellular antenna should be mounted using
VCA10005 mounting bracket if possible.
• Entire length of cellular antenna must be mounted
above cab roof or any structure within 300 mm (12
in.).
• Mount cellular antenna (4) at least 300 mm (12 in.)
from upright metallic structures, like mirrors. Center
of the cab roof or attached to a roof handhold is an
ideal location.
• Mount the GPS antenna (3) in an area that allows
an unobstructed view of the sky. Mounting near the
cellular antenna is OK. Use Antenna Mounting
Bracket (1) when possible.
• Antennas may be mounted directly to a cab or
ROPS roof. Ensure all gaskets and O-Rings are
installed under antennas to prevent water entry.
Petroleum jelly may be used to prevent O-Rings
from slipping out of position.
• Ensure adequate ground plane is available (See
Installing Antennas Through Machine or Metal
Panel).
