In most vehicles the best mounting location is directly behind the grille; however, other locations which provide concealment and/or protection of the antenna may be acceptable. Radar signals will pass through non-metallic materials such as fiberglass and plastic, however, be sure to mount the receiver away from any metal, as it will block the receiver's antenna. [. . . ] Mounting Vertical (with 45º Reflector) For vehicles that do not have sufficient clearance behind the grille (about 5") to mount the antenna in a horizontal position, the 45º Reflector should be used. The 45º Reflector is attached to the antenna with two screws (#6 x 3/4") on the side of the antenna housing marked ANTENNA. Slide the screws through the corner holes on the flange of the antenna housing and then tighten into the metal reflector (do not over tighten). 8 9 3300 Installation Instructions 10/4/00 9:37 AM Page 13 INSTALLATION OF RADAR ANTENNA Mount the antenna to the vehicle such that the ANTENNA window is facing the road surface, sky, right or left of the vehicle, and the reflector has an unobstructed view of the road ahead. This side facing traffic Antenna window Signal INSTALLATION OF LRM-5 Antenna Cable To Control Panel Once the antenna is installed, run the cable along the edge of the engine compartment to the firewall. Find a location in the firewall where other wires (or the speedometer cable) enter the passenger compartment and feed the stereo jack connection through. Be careful not to interfere with or disconnect other wires, cables, or mechanical systems of your vehicle while routing the antenna cable. Also, keep the antenna cable away from any areas in the engine compartment that may become hot. Cable ties are provided to secure the antenna and Temperature Probe cables at various points in the engine compartment. General Information The LRM-5 (Laser Receive Module) provides both front and rear laser reception. Mount the LRM-5 with the 3-lens array facing forward (down the road) and the single lens facing behind. This approach offers the greatest protection, since you will most often be traveling into a laser signal, rather than away from it when laser speed enforcement is encountered. For effective protection, make sure the LRM-5 has an unobstructed view forward and behind, and that it is not placed behind metallic sun screens. Mounting The LRM-5 The LRM-5 can be mounted to the front windshield using the windshield bracket supplied. Radar antenna mounted(vertical) with 45º Reflector. Mounted in this position, radar signals are reflected into the ANTENNA window. Mounting the Temperature Probe Find a location that is far enough away from engine and radiator heat but still in the airflow for the vehicle. Mounting the Probe too close to these heat areas will give a false high temperature. · Attach the mountable tie wrap (supplied) to the Temperature Probe as shown. · Mark location for Probe, then drill a hole using a 7/64" drill bit. Attach Probe with tie wrap in the correct orientation using the #6 x 3/4 screws. NOTE: Mount the Probe so that there is space between the Probe and the mounting area. Do not mount Probe directly to metal area.
