OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS give you

information on handling mount bracket and accessories.

Before use, please read carefully.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

The K9000 mount is designed for lightweight VHF/UHF

mobile antennas that do not require direct RF grounding.

Flexible antennas (NR770H series) are desirable as they reduce

vibration and shock transferred to the K9000. Excessive torque

should be minimized to ensure satisfactory performance of the

K9000.

Recommended Antennas

For best performance, we recommend DIAMOND NR & SG

series antennas under 45" (such as NR73BNMO, NR770HA,

NR770HB, NR770RA, NR770HNMO, NR770HBNMO,

SG7500NMO, and SG7500A and SG-M510). Use the

DIAMOND SO-239 UHF style base connector and cable

assemblies (DIAMOND C101, C211, C213). For NMO style

antennas, use the DIAMOND C101NMO.

Important Safety Instructions

• Vibration during driving may cause loosening of bolts

and screws. Check periodically and fasten if necessary.

"Locktite" compound can be used to secure threads.

• Should the antenna and mount bracket receive a sharp

impact, they could be broken and fall off which could cause

personal injury or damage. Drive carefully and avoid haz-

ardous branches of trees, etc.

• Strong vibration (i.e. vehicles with diesel engines) may

cause excessive stress on the K9000 mount. Install the

antenna far away from the source of vibration.

Caution

To prevent any damage of the mount bracket, pay attention

to the following instructions.

• This mount bracket is designed for 12 volt negative ground

vehicles. Do not use it in a vehicle with incorrect voltage.

• Do not operate the mount bracket if external temperature is

near freezing or below.

• Avoid hitting obstacles during driving. To prevent such a

situation, the mount bracket has a back torque limiter which

has a spring to absorb impact. This back torque limiter will

work in one direction only.

* The mount bracket is designed for use in negative ground

cars. When the mount bracket is used in positive grounded

cars, the lamp will not light. Reverse connection of the power

cord.

MOTOR DRIVE MOUNT

K9000

Trunk Lid/Hatchback Mount

LRM Luggage Rack Mount

Explanation of Operation

The antenna may be raised or lowered by depressing Control

Switch. The mount motor contains a limit switch which shall

stop the antenna automatically at its end of travel. When the

switch is ON, the green lamp is lit when raising the antenna and

the red lamp is lit when lowering the antenna.

Features

• The mount bracket has a spring-type back torque limiter which

can prevent the antenna from rattling and protect the car and

mount bracket.

• A protective rubber sheet is attached to K9000TM bracket

which reduces possible discolorations or scratching of painted

surfaces.

• The mount bracket is fully adjustable from angles 45–90 de-

grees. You can choose from 7 levels of adjustment with the con-

trol knob (on side of motor drive).

• For simple wiring of motor drive, a cigar plug is included.

Mounting bracket and base fitment assemblies are separate for

easy angle adjustment.

Confirm the parts

Confirm all parts in the package. If any part of the mount bracket

is broken or missing, contact RF Parts with the part number.
