Rain Bird WS-PRO2, Installation, Operation, Maintenance, And Troubleshooting Manual, Page: 58 / 113

To mount the antenna onto the WS-PRO2 pole, the cell phone accessory kit contains the
following hardware, which is the same hardware used in the spread spectrum radio kit:
(1) antenna cable, 150 cm (59 in)
(1) adjustable angle antenna mounting bracket
(1) 8-450 x 53 mm (5/16-18 x 2 1/4 in) stainless steel U-bolt
(1) CM230 saddle bracket
(4) silicon bronze 8-450 mm (5/16-18 in) nuts
(4) 8 mm (5/16 in) stainless steel washers
(4) 8 mm (5/16 in) stainless steel lock washers
(4) black UV-resistant wire ties
1. Fasten the mounting hardware onto the WS-PRO2 pole by following steps 1 through 8 in
External installation of the radio (p. 44).
2. Slide the back of the antenna into the saddle bracket and tighten its nuts to hold the
antenna firmly in place.
CAUTION:
Do NOT over tighten the nuts on the saddle bracket or damage to the antenna may
occur.
3. If using the Yagi antenna, aim the antenna at the cellular pole. You may have to flip the
adjustable angle bracket over to get the antenna and saddle bracket to point correctly in
the vertical direction.
4. Adjust the antenna cable at the BNC connector so the cable cover fits over all the sensor
cables and the antenna cable. You may have to gently bend the antenna cable to put a 90°
bend by the BNC connector end of the cable. Take the cover off when you’re done.
5. Use one of the black wire ties to strap the antenna cable to the bundle of sensor cables.
6. Tighten up the wire ties holding the antenna cable to the wire tie mount at the top of the
enclosure.
7. Take one black wire tie and strap the antenna cable to the antenna. Leave a little slack on
the cable between the wire tie and the antenna connector so as not to stress the
connector/cable connection.
8. Wire tie the antenna cable to the pole. Clean up the wire ties and put the cable cover back
on.
