3 Noggin 100 Assembly
Unlike the higher frequency Noggins, the Noggin 100 comes with the antennas and electronics
as separate units that need to be assembled.
To assemble, space the 100 MHz antennas about 0.5 meters apart with the mounting blocks
facing up.
Figure: 3-1 Noggin 100 assembly of electronics to antenna.
Place one end of the Noggin 100 electronics module over one of the antennas and press
downward until it is seated.
Figure: 3-2 Connecting the electronics to the 100 MHz antenna. The 2 brass sockets in the bottom of the electronics
mate with the 2 brass pins in the antenna mounting block.
Secure using the electronics to the antenna using the 2 plastic latches.
