Top View A.40.A.301111 on ground-plane Hercules A.40.A.301111 Specification Part No. A.40.A.301111 Product Name Hercules GPS/GLONASS Heavy Duty Screw Mount Feature Height 28.5mm Diameter 47.8mm Heavy Duty Screw Mount IP67 Compliance GPS/GLONASS - 3M RG174 SMA(M) Customizable ROHS Compliant SPE-13-8-053/A/PK | page 1 of 10 A.40.A.301111 1. Introduction The A.40 Hercules is a high performance thread mount GPS-GLONASS antenna designed for external use on vehicles and outdoor assets. Designed for heavy duty work with one piece C&C machined nickel plated steel base and threads, there are also convenient side slots for running cables laterally. Durable UV resistant ABS housing is resistant to vandalism and direct attack. At only 29mm high it complies with the latest EU directives for height restrictions, whilst also enabling covert operation with a diameter of only 49mm. The antenna is completely waterproof with an IP67 rating, plus an additional IP69K rating for waterproof resistance against high pressure water jets used in cleaning. An advanced front end SAW circuit noise filtering design is used to reduce potential interference common in such applications from other nearby high power radio transmitters. Cable lengths, types and connectors are fully customizable. SPE-13-8-053/A/PK | page 2 of 10 A.40.A.301111 2.
