9500 Optional Antenna LTE (#116740)
Instructions
- Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove the three screws from the LevelSender top cover. You will reuse these later.
- If you have an older style top cover (sold before August 2023), simply pull the top cover off the LevelSender and unscrew the antenna.
- If you have a newer style top cover (has threads at the antenna opening), unscrew the nut from around the antenna and remove the nut, grommet and antenna. Pull the top cover off.
- Take the cable from the antenna assembly and thread the clamping nut onto the cable as shown.
- Thread the top cover onto the cable as shown. Ensure there is an o-ring on the bottom of the threads on the top cover.
- Line up the antenna cable and screw it onto the connection on the top of the LevelSender.
- Lightly lubricate the o-ring around the top of the LevelSender, then push the top cover onto the LevelSender.
- Take the two pieces of the split grommet and put them on either side of the cable at the connection to the LevelSender as shown.
- Push the two pieces together and insert the bottom notched section into the opening around the antenna cable. The grommet should sit flush in the antenna opening.
- Apply a small amount of the silicone grease around the outside of the split grommet.
- Slide the clamping nut down the cable and over the split grommet. Thread it into place on the LevelSender top cover. Reinstall the three screws in the top cover.
- Thread the other end of the cable onto the connection on the external antenna.
- Use the mounting bracket on the antenna and two stainless steel worm gear clamps to secure the external antenna to a pole/wall, or installation of your choosing,
Note:
If you have a newer style top cover, you can reuse it for this step. If you have an older style, use the top cover that came with the seal kit.
