MA582.W.001 Antenna External 2x 5G/4G MIMO 5G permanent mount puck Comet IP67 for Telematics, Transport and Fleet Management, Gateways and Industrial Routers, Public Safety and Critical Communications, Construction, Mining, and Heavy Equipment

This low-profile, puck-style permanent-mount antenna integrates two high-performance cellular elements to support reliable 5G/4G connectivity in compact, rugged installations.

It is designed to maintain strong performance when mounted directly on metallic enclosures, helping avoid efficiency losses commonly seen in lower cellular bands when installed on metal housings. This makes it a strong choice for discreet, mission-critical deployments that still demand stable connectivity.

• Compact puck form factor for clean, unobtrusive installations
• Designed for dependable operation on metal surfaces
• Rugged sealed enclosure suited to harsh environments
• Ideal for high-vibration installations requiring secure mechanical attachment

Installation Instructions
Comet MA58x Series
Low Profile Permanent Mount Combination Antenna

A Introduction
The Comet MA58x Series is a low-profile, puck-style,
screw-mount antenna that integrates two high-performance
5G/4G MIMO cellular elements and one GNSS element.
Covering all worldwide cellular frequencies from 600 MHz to 6
GHz, along with GPS, GLONASS, and BeiDou bands, it achieves
stable gain and efficiency that are typically difficult to realize in
such a compact 101 × 101 × 20 mm form factor.

Electrical Safety
The Comet can contains an active GPS/GNSS antenna.
Rated voltage: 1.8-5.5VDC Rated current: 10mA maximum
The supply to this device must be provided with overcurrent protection of 1A maximum.
Power consumption @ 1.8-5.5V ; 10 mA

B Mounting & Location
Secured via a Ø12mm diameter threaded mounting stud, The Comet is
recommended to be fitted by drilling a Ø13mm hole will need to be drilled
in the roof or enclosure surface.
When mounting on a vehicle roof panel ensure to mount on a flat surface,
and measure for a central position. Care should be taken to mount the
Comet antenna as far as possible from other roof-mounted features such
as the aircon unit, light bar etc.

Sealing
In order to ensure that the installation is properly sealed against the mounting surface care must be taken regarding curvature
of the mounting panel. It is highly recommended to install the antenna on a clean, flat and level surface. After installation the
compression of the foam gasket and adhesive against the mounting panel should be checked and a small bead of neutral cure
silicone sealant can be applied around the periphery of the enclosure if required.

C Surface Preparation
When preparing to drill the hole, mask the area around the hole position to
protect the surface. If an existing OEM antenna mounting hole is not present,
drill a pilot hole and increase the hole size to Ø12mm (0.472”). Ensure the drill
bit does not contact the headliner. Then deburr and clean the area around the
hole carefully removing all waste.
13mm
Remove paint and primer from under panel surface to ensure adequate earth
contact by washer and nut. Apply petroleum jelly or paint around cut edge of
the hole to prevent corrosion
