C4ISR MOUNTING HARDWARE KIT ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES

WARNING

THE EDGES OF THE METAL ARMOR PANELS MAY BE SHARP.

PROTECTIVE GLOVES SHOULD BE WORN BY THE INSTALLATION TEAM

TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY.

3.1

INSTALL MTS BRACKET PLATE ASSEMBLY, P/N 111449-1

Install the MTS Bracket Plate Assembly, P/N 111449-1, onto the two through-panel studs on the

Armor Panel using one Washer, 0.250-in. ID, and one Locknut, 0.250 – 20, on each of the

through-panel studs (See Figure 2.2).

3.2

INSTALL PLGR ANTENNAE MOUNTING BRACKET, P/N 111452

Install the PLGR Antennae Mounting Bracket by clamping it onto the Roof Armor Panel (See

Figure 2.3).

The clamp is secured to the Roof Armor Panel using two Bolts, 0.250 x 28 – 1.000,

and two Jam Nuts, 0.250 – 28.

Torque to 6 ft-lb each.

Redundant fastening may be achieved

by using the two center studs that are welded to the roof; however, it is not essential that these

studs be used.

The two center studs protruding through the Bracket are secured with one

Washer, No. 10, and one Locknut, 10 - 24, each.

3.3

MOUNTING THE PLGR ANTENNAE

The PLGR Antennae are secured to the Mounting Bracket stud (See Figure 2.3) using two

Washers, No. 10, and two Locknuts, 10 – 24, for each antenna.

3.4

SECURING THE “P” CLAMPS FOR THE ANTENNA WIRES

Two holes must be drilled in the Roof Support Bracket (See Figure 3.2) if the Bracket is not

received pre-drilled.

A 9/23-in. drill bit is used to drill the two holes with the Support Bracket in

place.

The “P” Clamps can then be attached to the Roof Support Bracket as indicated in

Figure 2.1 and 2.2 using the existing hardware.
