Installation

This antenna is supplied with type Z-mount. The whip is fastened to the mount by means of our standard ball-joint and wing screw system. The adjustable ball-joint ensures that the whip can always be mounted in a vertical position independent of the angle of the installation spot.

The Z-mount is particularly well suited for mounting on car-roofs because of its ability to be installed exclusively with access from the outside. The Z-Mount for roof thickness from 2 mm to 7.5 mm must be mounted from the inside. However, the antenna can be installed anywhere on the car, as the Z-mount is equally well suited for mounting on e.g. trunk or wing.
