Installing A Fuel Point Ground Antenna For Fueling
Ground Antenna Installation Components are available in three (3) styles to meet most
common site requirements.
• Flush-Mount J-Box
• Direct Buried and Sealed
• Surface Mount
For fueling, the ground antenna should be located at half the width of a vehicle plus two feet,
or approximately 5 feet-3 inches out from the island and is normally aligned with the nozzle’s
on-hook position on the pump. The major factor affecting the final location is the relationship
of the vehicle G-Ring to the gas fill tube. Ideally, the vehicle G-Rings will be mounted near the
fill tube to take advantage of drivers’ experience in stopping to fuel. The mounting styles and
applications are explained below.
C09822 Junction Box
For Installing a Flush-mount J-Box Antenna
The antenna J-Box and conduit are designed for use at new sites or sites requiring extensive
pavement rework. Prior to pouring pavement, a flush-mounted composite plastic box is
installed in the pavement and ½ inch conduit routed to a Fuel Point amplifier installed in the
base of the pump. The antenna from antenna kit (C07362) lays freely on top. Leave slack in
the wiring to allow removal of the cover for service.
