Antenna installation is critical for optimum performance of your Iridium service.
Installation Guidelines
To ensure maximum performance of the antenna system and to maximise availability and reliability of service the
antenna must;
• mount antenna vertically
• have a clear line of site to the sky
• be clear and free of obstructions
• be located away from other transmitting devices
• be securely attached to a at ferrous surface
• be located outdoors
• be installed with a Beam certied cable
Installing Antenna Cables
When installing antenna cables, follow these guidelines:
• Route and restrain cables to prevent them from vibrating or moving under normal conditions, which could result in
damage to the antenna or the coaxial cable connections.
• Wherever the cables contact structures, protect the cables from chang or abrasion. If a cable needs to be bent, avoid
kinking it, and ensure that each bend radius follow the cable specication limits.

Antenna Installation
1. Unwrap the packaging from the antenna and free up the cables from being tied.
2. Undo the hex nut and slide it off from the cable through the notch.
3. Discard the cap by cutting through it safely with a side cutter.
4. To mount the antenna, the best location is a bull bar with ready mounting holes. The mounting hole should be
at least 12-13 mm (0.47-0.51 in) in diameter and 2-3 mm (0.08-0.12 in) thick.
5. Pass the cable through the mounting hole and pull the cable through.
6. Set the antenna on the mounting plate and screw in the hex locking nut. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the
nut. The antenna should be stable while mounted.
7. Finally, connect the TNC connector to the Beam Iridium terminal or accessory.
