SIR-KEN1 Installation Guide
Installing the Antenna
The antenna includes a 6-1/2” cable
cover/tail which covers the exposed
antenna cable and keeps it attached
securely to vehicle roof. The tail also
helps position the antenna the proper
distance from the window, sunroof or
rear hatch.
To attach the cover/tail:
1) Once you have determined the
proper mounting location (see next
section), clean the area with the
supplied alcohol swab.
Installation
It is recommended that prior to
starting the installation, you
thoroughly read this manual and
follow the guidelines listed below:
Consider the mounting location
carefully. You should make sure that
you avoid the following:
• Any location where the tuner is
exposed to moisture.
• Any location where the unit is
exposed to extreme heat.
• Any location that would interfere
with moving parts on the vehicle or
hamper driving.
Mounting the SIR-KEN1 Tuner
Be sure that you find a location that is
flat and has clearance above the unit
to prevent any damage as well as
allow for ventilation.
Do not install the tuner under the
carpet or in a small enclosed area
without proper ventilation. Doing so
can result in damage to the tuner or
the vehicle.
Use the supplied screws to securely
fasten the unit.
2) Connect the cover/tail to the antenna
cable, making sure that the strain-
relief on the antenna seats into the
cover/tail groove. Route the cable
through the wire channel in the cover/
tail.
Caution:
If you are attaching the unit directly to
the vehicle’s chassis, be sure that you
check to make sure the area behind the
unit is free from moving parts, fuel or
break lines, wire harnesses or any
other items which may get damaged by
drilling a mounting hole or using the
supplied screws.
