Terrestrial Mobile Communications Terminal Installation Instructions TCU Antennae Installation
Follow these steps to orient and install the antennae:
1.
The location of the GPS and PCS antennae should be along the front outer edge of the trailer
roof as close to the center nose as possible.
2.
Before drilling holes, verify that cable routing will adequately reach the bottom of the TCU
where the connection is required.
3.
Drill a 1-inch diameter hole where the GPS antenna will be mounted and a
.748-inch hole where the PCS antenna will mount. The holes should be 3 inches apart center-to-
center.
4.
Using rubbing alcohol, clean and prepare the inside and outside surface areas of the trailer roof
where the antennae will be mounted. Remove all dirt and grease to provide a good clean
mounting surface for the antennae.
Note
If the roof is made of fiberglass, use the ground plane provided for the PCS antenna. Remove the adhesive backing and
apply to the underside interior hole where the PCS antenna will be mounted.
