Installation

The antenna whip comprises a ¼ λ section, a phase shifting coil, and a ½ λ section. 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.
