Antenna Mounting Location Directions

When selecting the location of an antenna, consider the following factors:

1. Conductive Panel –The ground plane is a part of the antenna. If

no ground plane/metal surface is used, the antenna may

radiate in undesirable locations and may also result in bad

return loss and poor efficiency.

Parsec suggests using a 20” x 20” ground plane for all our

mobile antennas (PTA0587) for best performance. If this much

space is not available, use a ground plane/metal surface large enough such that it is at least 5

inches from each side of the antenna.

2. Antenna Directionality –the direction of the signal is limited

by the directionality of the antenna.

Omni-directional antennas provide a 360-degree horizontal

radiation pattern, allowing for coverage in all directions

horizontally with varying degrees of vertical coverage.

When selecting the location of an omni-directional antenna,

ensure that the antenna can be mounted in the proper

orientation relative to the horizontal plane.

3. Signal Path Loss –signal strength is greatly affected by the

materials that the signal passes through.

Severe signal loss can be caused by concrete and brick walls. Metals can absorb and/or reflect the

signal, affecting the signal path. For best antenna performance, select an antenna location with

minimal obstructions between the antenna and the signal source(s).

4. Reflection & Diffraction –the signal will bounce off certain materials and bend around obstacles.

For best antenna performance, the antenna should be installed in a location where the signal path

is not interfered by materials like Low E glass, Metal, Tinted glass, etc., that reflect RF Energy.

5. Interference –electrical devices and appliances interfere

with the antenna’s signal.

Electrical devices and appliances, such as refrigerators,

microwaves, AC units, and cameras, can cause

electromagnetic interference with the antenna signal.

Select a location that is as far as possible from electrical

devices and appliances and minimizes the amount of such

devices between the antenna and the signal source(s). For

best antenna performance, install antennas as far away as

possible from each other and other devices. In general,

separate antennas by at least 24 inches (61 cm).

6. Cable Loss –signal strength is lost as RF waves travel

through cables.

The longer the cable, the more electrical energy is lost as heat and the higher the signal loss.

Therefore, it is best to select a location for the antenna that allows the cables to be as short as

possible and still reach the router.

The size of the cable also affects cable loss; coaxial cables with higher center conductor diameters

have less cable loss compared to thinner coaxial cables.

It is critical to avoid bending coaxial cables sharply to avoid shearing of the Aluminum foil shield,

which can result in a significant or complete loss of antenna functionality.

Coaxial cables should not be bent sharply; they have a minimum bend radius which varies

depending on the size of cable.

Roof Mounting Instructions

Preparing the Hole

1. After selecting the location to mount the Antenna,

mask the mounting location to avoid paint damage.

Mark the hole center with ink or scribed cross hairs.

2. Use a center punch to make a dimple on the marked

location to avoid drill bits from walking across the

sheet metal. Use a Twist drill of diameter about 0.1”

and drill a pilot hole. Using a 1.0” diameter sheet

metal hole saw, drill the hole.

3. The hole saw will cut the required diameter hole with

less risk of stretching and distorting the vehicle

surface.

4. Clean up any metal shavings around the mounting

location.

Mounting the Antenna

1. Feed the coaxial cables from the antenna through

the hole from the outside surface to the inside

surface and thread the entire length of the cable

through the hole.

2. Clean debris off the vehicle surface and then

mark the desired antenna orientation by placing

the antenna flat on the vehicle surface.

3. Lift the antenna and remove the protective

backing from the underside of the antenna and place the antenna back in the desired position.

Apply downward pressure on the antenna to stick it to the panel. This step is optional if you plan to

mount the antenna magnetically.

4. To avoid the gap between the antenna and panel, it is

recommended to use neutral cure silicon sealant around the

base of the mounting boot to fully compress the antenna to

the mounting panel.

5. A split flat washer and a split hex nut are provided in the kit

for easy installation.

6. On the inside of the vehicle, thread the flat washer over

the cable, followed by the PTA0257 star washer (if

applicable) and then hex nut.

7. Slide the washers and nut to the threaded flange of the

antenna and tighten the hex nut until antenna

compresses flat with the surface of the vehicle.

Magnetic Mount Instructions

1. Select the mounting location.

A. A horizontal, ferrous metallic surface is required for

mounting the antenna. Check that the magnetic

mount base has sufficient magnetic attraction to

the mounting surface.

B. To avoid de-tuning or interference issues, install

the antenna as far away as possible from other

electrical devices (minimum 24 inches), including

light bars, AC units, fans, cameras, routers, and

other antennas. Select the mounting location.

2. Feed the antenna cables through the hole in the magnetic

mount base.

3. Fasten the antenna to the magnetic mount base.

A. Guide the provided flat washer and hex nut onto

the antenna cables. Using a star or lock washer is

optional and not provided.

B. Thread the flat washer, star washer (if applicable),
