Installing the RF (900 MHz) Antennas
Required Items
• 2x RF Antennas
• 2x pairs of antenna mounting brackets
• RF cables and jumpers (see required parts)
• Adjustable wrench and/or socket wrench set
• Scotch WK-101 kit
• Torque wrench for the N-type connector
Installation Steps
1. Attach the antenna to the mounting brackets.
2. Hoist the antenna to the mast location. Care
should be taken not to damage the RF
connectors while hoisting.
3. Mount the RF antennas on the antenna mast
at a recommended horizontal separation of
12 to 20 feet (3.6 to 6 meters) using the
mounting brackets. The minimum separation
is 6 feet (1.8 meters).
4. Attach the coax cables to the RF antennas.
Care should be taken not to damage the RF
connectors while tightening. Care should also
be taken not to exceed the bend radius of the
coax.
5. Weatherize RF antenna connections using the
scotch WK-101 kit.
6. Secure the coaxial cable every 2 feet (0.6 m)
along the mast using UV-stable wire ties.
Note: If only one RF antenna is being utilized
for the gateway, the 50 Ohm termination (PN
13818-001) should be connected to the ant 1
port and weatherized using scotch WK-101.
