1.4.2 Antenna Installation – 1-14-UNS Threaded Mount
The CDA-2B uses a 1-14-UNS-2B thread for mounting, which is not compatible with
¾ NPT or pipe threads. A magnetic mount accompanies the standard RX 400p
system. An adapter to convert the 1-14-UNS thread to a 5/8
th inch survey-style
thread is available from MID-TECH, discussed in Section 1.5.3.
Thread the CDA-2B Antenna onto the mount, tightening by hand only. Do not use
any tools for tightening, and do not over-tighten.
Caution - A ¾ NPT or pipe thread is not compatible with the thread of the CDA-
2B. Use only a 1-14-UNS threaded mount to prevent damage to the antenna
enclosure. This type of damage is not covered under warranty.
Caution - Install the antenna only hand-tight. Damage resulting from over-
tightening the antenna is not covered by warranty.
1.4.3 Antenna Installation – Surface Mount
The CDA-2B antenna comes with a PVC base pre-installed for mounting on a 1-14-
UNS threaded mount installed. This base may be removed for surface mounting the
CDA-2B, if desired.
To mount the CDA-2B in this fashion, you must use four 4-40 screws in order to
secure the antenna to the mounting surface. Their length will be dependant upon the
thickness of the mounting surface used. To determine the location of the screw
holes, use the PVC base as a template.
