intended for use inside the enclosure. Please note that the backplate of the enclosure
is a grounded plane. If it is interposed between the antenna and the cell tower, it
may attenuate the strength of the transmission signal. Simply turning the enclosure
90 to 180 degrees on its mounting mast may solve weak transmission issues.
NOTE:
When antennas are located away from the RV50(X), keep the cables as short as possible to
prevent the loss of antenna gain. Route the cables to protect them from damage and so they
will not be snagged or pulled on. Avoid binding or sharp corners in the cable routing. Bundle
and tie off excess cable. Make sure the cables are secured so their weight will not loosen the
connector from the RV50(X) over time.
TIP:
Cellular phone apps, such as OpenSignal (
), show the direction to
point an antenna to get the best signal strength.
