Antenna Assembly Installation

On the outside of the enclosure, place the IP boot onto the external antenna connector with the smaller 
diameter hole out. Screw the antenna onto the external antenna connector until it bottoms out. Slide the 
IP sleeve down the antenna and over the IP boot until the IP sleeve touches the enclosure.

Step 6: Attach External Cables and Assemble Glands

The NI WSN-3291 ships with two different insert sizes to use with the included gland shells. The larger 
insert can accept cables with a diameter from 4–8 mm, while the smaller insert can accommodate cables 
from 2–6 mm.
