SkyBitz Mobile Terminal System Configuration Introduction This procedure covers the Installation of the SkyBitz Mobile Terminal (MT), Aluminum Roof Mounting Brackets (XTB), and Safety Tether Cable (STC). The XTB are bonded to the trailer roof with 3m VHB (Very High Bond) adhesive tape. The MT is installed to the brackets with stainless steel self locking fasteners. The STC provides a mechanical connection between the MT and the trailer.

Location of the MT on the Trailer Roof The recommended mounting location on the trailer roof is approximately 3ft. back from the front of the trailer, and about 10 inches in from the left roadside rail. This location is intended to minimize the potential for damage from low hanging tree branches and to maximize the Mobile Terminal’s view of the sky when the trailer is backed into a dock. The MT must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Before removing the plastic film to expose the VHB tape adhesive, set the MT Bracket in place on the roof of the trailer. Fully extend the tether to locate the MT assembly approximately 10” from the side of the trailer as shown. The MT connector should be facing the rear of the trailer. Mark the location of the mounting brackets on the trailer roof. Move the MT bracket assembly aside. 5.

8. Apply the 3M Primer 94 (Item #5) to the cleaned and abraded mounting surface where the Skybitz brackets will be mounted. Allow the primer at least 2 minutes to dry completely. 9. Remove the plastic film from the bracket VHB tape to expose the VHB tape adhesive surface. Be careful not to touch the exposed adhesive or primed surface as any contamination will impede the bond strength.
