PROCEDURE

DANGER
Park vehicle safely, apply parking brake, stop engine. Prior to working on the vehicle, set the ignition switch
to the OFF position and the battery master switch (master cut-out) to the OFF position.

1. Open the first left (driver) and right (entrance
door) parcel rack compartments and remove
both covers to access the overhead area.

2. On the right (entrance) side, remove some of the
insulating material between the two “L” shaped
brackets. Remove just enough to expose the
underside of the fiber roof.

mg

SCI18-85
Page 4 / 22

3. On the driver’s side, an opening in the stainless
sheet metal must be cut between the “L”
brackets to access the roof.
-

First remove part of the foam under layer from
the stainless sheet.

-

Insert a rotary cutter (with a fine cutting disk)
between the brackets (bent the brackets as
necessary) and cut the stainless sheet to
produce at least a 3-inch opening (alternately, a
3 1/2-inch stainless steel compatible (carbide)
hole saw with a shortened drill bit can also be
used in conjunction with a small angled drill) .

CAUTION
•

Protect the area under and around the cut
with a welding blanket to prevent fire/damage
from metal sparks – Air ducting is particularly
at risk in this area.

•

Wear appropriate eye protection.

mg

4. Mark the antenna locations on both sides of the
vehicle roof.

DANGER
•

Do not climb on the vehicle roof without
appropriate safety harness and life line.

•

The use of an approved elevator (scissor
lift) is highly recommended.

-

Put a straight edge or ruler on the side of the
vehicle roof at approximately 12cm (4.75”) from
the edge (sealant joint) of the fiberglass part of
the roof.

-

From this starting point, draw a line on the roof at
the 45cm (17.75”) mark (front to rear of the
vehicle).

-

From the edge of the fiberglass roof draw
another line at the 12cm mark (from left to right).

-

The intersection of both lines indicates the
drilling position for the antenna.

-

Repeat the process on the other side of the
vehicle

ANTENNA HOLE LOCATION ON ROOF (DRIVER’S SIDE SHOWN)

5. Drill the antenna mounting holes in the vehicle
roof.
-

mg

Use a 1in hole cutter (hole saw) and drill at the
determined points on both sides of the vehicle.

-

Remove sharp edges as required (exterior) &
remove debris from the vehicle roof.

6. Install the antenna on the vehicle roof

IMPORTANT
The antenna 900274 with the smaller GPS
cable (5 cables total) must be installed on the
driver side of the vehicle.
-

Clean the hole area with anti-silicone cleaner.

-

Pass the antenna cables through the hole and
route them in the parcel rack.

-

Apply a large bead of black Simson ISR 70-03
sealant around the antenna center adhesive
(peel-off the adhesive protector).

-

Carefully insert the antenna in its location and
apply pressure to ensure complete contact of the
sealant with the roof.

-

Repeat the process on the other side of the
vehicle with antenna 900275 (4 cables).

7. Secure the antennas to the vehicle roof.
-

Snugly hand tight the antenna slotted mounting
nuts inside the vehicle left and right
compartments.

-

Screw the mounting nuts enough to compress
the antenna base rubber seal.

-

Apply final torque to both nuts to finalize the
antennas installation on the vehicle roof.

Prevost special tool # 7775182 and 7770447
(mounted on a 3/8” drive torque wrench) are
recommended.

TORQUE: 9 to 14 Nm (80 to 120 lb-in)

8. On both sides, pass the antenna cables through
the opening in the parcel rack and secure the
cables together in several places using nylon
cable ties (driver’s side shown).

9. Route the right side antenna cables to the left
(driver’s) side parcel rack compartment.
-

Pass a flexible steel rod or a steel fish tape from
the retractable sun shade opening up through
the parcel rack area.

-

Tape the connector ends of the antenna cables
to the rod and pull to “fish” them through the
sunshade opening.

-

Route the antenna cables through the entire
sunshade opening up to the driver’s side area
(make sure the cables are routed over the
sunshade).

mg

-

Pass the cables in the parcel rack area (use the
fishing tape as required).

10. Secure the antenna cables to the “L” bracket.
-

Insert all antenna cables (9 total) in a length of
supplied 562218 1 inch convoluted tubing.

-

Secure the cables and convoluted tubing to one
of the “L” shaped brackets inside the left
overhead compartment with one of the supplied
cable ties (shorten the tubing as req.).

-

Add two more cable ties at both ends of the
tubing to secure to the cables.

11. Prepare the X-CUBE power cable using the
supplied material.
-

Connect the supplied fuse holder 563061 to one
end of the red wire 560669 (20ft). Use supplied
butt splice 562407.

-

Connect a round terminal 561246 to the other
end of the fuse holder.

-

Connect the other supplied round terminal to the
black wire 560673 (20ft).

IMPORTANT
Solder all connections, protect with supplied
shrink tubing 560784
-

Tape the black and red wires together every 18in
(+/- 45cm) and insert the jointed wires in the
convoluted plastic tubing 562218 (20ft) (cut to
length the tubing, as required to expose the fuse
holder part).
