Roam Bracket Fixing Kit - For roof mounting

The raiser bracket allows you the flexibility to

mount your antenna anywhere on your roof and

enter the cable at your preferred point using the

supplied cable entry cover. Alternatively you may

have an existing cable entry point you may like to

utilise instead.

Designed and manufactured specifically for the

Roam Antenna, the aluminium bracket is

lightweight, strong and finished with a durable

white powder coating.

Suitable for any flat roof the kit also includes 3m

extension cables for flexible mounting position.

SMA connections, making it ideal when using the

Roam Antenna with the Roam Bracket Fixing Kit

(See left) to allow for a temporary connection or

where entry into the roof is not possible.

It can also be used for other applications where an

external SMA connection is required.

Positioning your Roam x

Distance between Router and Antenna

For best performance, we recommend mounting the

router in close proximity to the roof mounted

antenna. For best performance, only use the antennas

standard 0.8m coaxial cables.

This means, once you have a suitable location for the

router inside the vehicle, you must also ensure there

is a suitable space on the roof to position the antenna

in close proximity to the router. For example, if you

would like to position your router in an overhead

cupboard, we recommend mounting the antenna

directly above the cupboard space.

Roof Antenna Position

We recommend leaving 30cm gap from obstacles

around the antenna to avoid interference issues

and mounting on a horizontal flat roof.*

Router Wi-Fi Antenna Space (Ref page 10)

The internal router can be mounted in a horizontal or

vertical orientation. However, bear in mind that the

Wi-Fi antenna must be vertical for maximum

performance. You must leave enough space for this.

Power Supply

The router comes with 12V cigarette adaptor.

You should ensure your router power supply can

reach your preferred power source.

1. The 3M seal provides a permanent installation.

The adhesive is extremely strong and the antenna is

not designed to be removed. Please ensure you are

completely happy with your antenna’s position and

orientation before installation.

2. The Roam X antenna is designed to be mounted

directly to a horizontal, flat and smooth surface such

as GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) with the coaxial

cables passing directly through the roof underneath

the centre of the antenna. The standard installation is

designed for roof thicknesses from 10mm up to 50mm.

If this does not suit your installation, please see our

mounting accessories (page 4) for a more suitable

mounting option.

Important Antenna Installation Information

10 - 50mm

*Sloped Roof

(Pop Top/Campers)

Although we always recommend a flat

installation to maximise Antenna performance.

In some installations you may find that you

need to install your Roam X on an incline.

This is useful for an Elevated Roof (Pop Top)

installation where you may use your Roam X

with both the Roof flat and at an incline.

We highly recommend that when installing the

Antenna on any incline you test the Roam X

before installation in a horizontal position and

again in the incline position to satisfy yourself of

the performance.

Fitting the Antenna

These instructions are for the standard through-the-roof installation as supplied.

1. Once you have a suitable position for the antenna,

cut out the supplied template. Use to mark the 25mm

centre hole position and mark the outside of the

antenna.

2. At the marked centre position, drill a 2.5mm pilot

hole through the roof. Use a 25mm hole saw to drill

out the centre hole through the roof.

Tidy up the hole to remove swarf and sharp edges.

3. Use the Antenna clamp to gauge the depth of the

roof. The best way to do this is to sit the Antenna

clamp upside down through the hole. Then, from the

inside, mark on the clamp where the clamp passes

through the ceiling and into the vehicle.

4. Remove the clamp and cut the clamp shaft to the

correct length. The correct length for your installation

will be the roof depth minus 3mm. This will ensure

the clamp does not bottom out on the antenna when

tightened.

E.g. If roof depth is 30mm. The clamp shaft should be

cut 27mm along the shaft.

A. Cut line

5. Clean the surface where the antenna will be

installed, ensuring it is free from debris and grease.

6. Pass the cables through the hole and remove the

self-adhesive backing from the 3M seal. Pass the

cables through the roof and position the antenna with

the embossed arrow facing the front of the vehicle

and the outside edge of the antenna aligning with the

marks added earlier.

IMPORTANT - Ensure the position of the

antenna is central to your markings,

as once stuck down, the antenna is not

designed to be removed.

7. Press firmly around the edges of the antenna to

ensure a watertight seal has been achieved.

8. From the inside of the vehicle, attach the clamp

and turn clockwise onto the thread protruding from

the bottom of the antenna. Continue to turn until

the clamp is compressing the seal underneath the

antenna.

9. Once in position, use 1 x No.6 Screw to secure the

clamp in position.

1. Remove the supplied pin located at the bottom of

the router.

Inserting Sim Card

3. Remove the SIM tray and lay the standard size SIM card flat with the metal chip face facing up. Ensure it is in

the correct orientation and sitting completely flat in the holder.

4. Insert the SIM tray back into the router. The metal

chip should still be facing upwards and the SIM text

on the front of the tray should be the correct way up.

The tray should push into the slot without resistance,

until it is fully inserted.

The SIM is now inserted.

2. Use this pin to firmly press on SIM eject button.

This is located next to the SIM slot. It is not necessary

to apply force to the SIM tray itself. This may damage

the router.

4. Connect the 12V power lead or the 230V PSU

(available to order separately) and route the lead to

your power source.

5. Place the router into the mounting bracket.

The router can be removed from the bracket at any

time to change the SIM card as required.

6. The installation is now complete. You may

wish to tidy up cable routing to suit your installation.

2. Attach the antenna coaxial cables to the bottom 2

connectors. These are marked ‘mobile’. Note the order

of the cables does not matter.

IMPORTANT - To prevent damage take

care to ensure the centre pins are

aligned before attaching the connector.

1. Position router bracket and mark hole positions.

Depending on material, drill a pilot hole or use a

bradawl. Mount the router mounting bracket to the

surface using the 2 x No.6 Screws provided.

Note: Make sure the ‘Maxview Logo’ is

horizontal and in the correct orientation.

IMPORTANT - Be careful when placing the Routers

location that it is not too close to other electrical

control devices. Mounting too close can cause the

router to malfunction.

Router Installation

The optimum positioning for the WiFi antennas on the

Roam X Router is pointing directly upwards. However,

the unit can be fitted with the antenna at a 45° or 90°

angle, or pointing downwards or forwards.

This may have a small detrimental effect on the

signal strength, which will become more significant

at greater distances from the router. However, for

leisure vehicle applications, this will likely only cause

a negligible drop in performance.

3. Attach the Wi-Fi antennas to the top connectors.

These are marked ‘Wi-FI’. These should be positioned

so they are vertical.
