Installation of cable duct and mounting plate
Note: If you have previously used a Kathrein HDM140/141 fl exible
satellite mast or another mast with a diameter of 34 mm, you can
continue using the existing duct hole in the roof (if space allows).
• In the centre of the intended position of the turntable, drill the opening
for the cable duct with a circular cutter (Ø: 38 mm). Deburr the hole
with a round fi le or emery paper.
• Provisionally insert the roof duct into the drilled hole (Fig. A).
• Place the mounting plate on the roof of the vehicle, such that the
centre hole is positioned centrally to the cable duct. The arrow
symbol must be visible from above and point forwards in the
direction of travel (Fig. B).
• Mark the positions of the six fastening holes on the roof of the vehicle
in a circular pattern.
Note: The size of the holes and the choice of fastening screws to be used
(not supplied) depend on the type and thickness of the materials
used in the roof structure. If the roof panelling (plastic roofs) is
suffi ciently strong, it is recommended that tallow drop screws, plain
washers and self-locking nuts are always used to secure the glued
mounting plate.
