3. Attach the other end of the cable to the BNC RF bulkhead connector in the lower right
corner of the enclosure. Make sure all connections are tight ( FIGURE 6-39 (p. 55)).
4. Use the ribbon cable to connect the CS I/O port on the NL241 to the CS I/O 9-pin port on
the WS-PRO2 ( FIGURE 6-39 (p. 55)).
6.7.6.4 External installation of the Wi-Fi modem
The 2.4 GHz/5.8 dBd Omnidirectional Wi-Fi Antenna should have been ordered with the kit.
To mount the antenna onto the WS-PRO2 pole, the Wi-Fi accessory kit contains the following
hardware:
(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. Adjust the antenna cable at the BNC connector so the cable cover fits over all the sensor
cables as well as 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.
4. Use one of the black wire ties to strap the antenna cable to the bundle of sensor cables.
5. Tighten the wire ties holding the antenna cable to the wire tie mount at the top of the
enclosure.
6. Take one black wire tie and strap the antenna cable to the antenna. Leave some slack on
the cable between the wire tie and the antenna connector so as not to stress the
connector/cable connection.
