Terk SIR6 - Manual (Page 3)

We recommend mounting the bracket vertically on a
roof as high up as possible as shown on page 4.
The antenna should not be blocked by an obstruction like
trees or a chimney. Once you have determined your
mounting location, place the mounting bracket on that
location on the roof. Take your drill and pre-drill holes,
using a 3/32 drill bit, through the top two holes on the
mounting bracket. Screw in two of the #10 screws
included with this package, through the mounting bracket
into the pre-drilled holes in the roof. Repeat this step for
the bottom two holes. At this point, move onto the
Adjustment section of the owner’s manual on page 6.
Mast Mount
The SIR6 can be mounted to most masts. We recommend
mounting the antenna to a mast on the roof or on the mast
of a satellite TV dish. You will need the 2 U-bolts,
2 mount brackets, 4 washers and 4 nuts for this installation.
Once you have determined where on the mast you wish to
mount the antenna, place the mounting bracket in that
location against the mast. Put one of the U-bolts through
the top two holes on the mounting bracket. Take one of the
mount brackets and insert it through the two ends of the
U-bolt on the other side of the mast. Make sure the inside
of the curve of the mount bracket is towards the mast.
Using one hand to hold the mounting bracket, U-bolt and
U-bolt bracket take your other hand and place one washer
and nut on one end of the U-bolt, then turn the nut four or
five complete rotations and then place one washer and nut
on the other end of the U-bolt, turn the nut four or five
complete rotations. Make sure the mounting bracket is in
the desired location and tighten both nuts until the
mounting bracket is secure on the mast. Repeat these
steps for the second U-bolt. Once complete, move to the
Adjustment section of the owner’s manual on page 6.
Section 1: Antenna should be mounted facing
EAST or NORTHEAST
Section 2: Antenna should be mounted facing
NORTH or NORTHEAST
Section 3: Antenna should be mounted facing
NORTH or NORTHWEST
Section 4: Antenna should be mounted facing
WEST or NORTHWEST
Section 5: Place the antenna
ONLY ON THE ROOF or MAST ON THE ROOF
NOTE: To achieve best SIRIUS Satellite Radio reception,
also refer to your SIRIUS radio owner’s manual.
Now that you have determined where to place the antenna,
you have three different mounting options. Each option is
described below.
Wall Mount
We recommend mounting the bracket horizontally if
mounting to a non-flat surface like vinyl siding.
Once the mounting location has been determined,
take a pencil and mark through the bracket, onto the
house wall, the four screw locations. Then set the
mounting bracket down and pre-drill holes in the
four locations you just marked (drill bit size 3/32 is
recommended with #10 screws). Position the mounting
bracket over the four pre-drilled holes and screw in the
top two #10 screws, that are included with this package
through the mounting bracket into the wall of
the house. Then screw in the bottom two. At this point,
move onto the Adjustment section of the owner‘s manual
on page 6.
