Installing Remote Antenna Kits
The 890- to 960-MHz, 10-dBi antenna includes an omnidirectional Yagi antenna, a pole-
mounted single antenna arm with 30-foot (9.1-m) or 50-foot (15.2-m) coaxial cable, and
N-type male connectors on both ends. The customer must provide 1.375-inch (35-mm)
OD pipe for the antenna.
Follow these steps to install Remote Antenna Kit 903-002701-01/02:
STEP 1.
Install the antenna on the antenna bracket.
STEP 2.
Attach the antenna bracket to the pole to the specified azimuth, per the network
design. The pole should not block the line of sight to other antennas.
STEP 3.
Slip the supplied cold-shrink tube over the antenna cable and connect the end
where the shrink tube was applied to the antenna. Tighten finger-tight.
STEP 4.
Wrap the cable connector inside the antenna with one piece of vinyl mastic
tape. Don’t stretch excessively, and do not block the antenna drain holes.
STEP 5.
Apply the second piece of tape overlapping the end of the first piece and tightly
cover the cable end of the connector.
STEP 6.
Align the end of the cold-shrink tube flush with the bottom of the antenna and
shrink it over the tape and cable.
STEP 7.
Tie-wrap the cable to the antenna bracket. Loop and secure any excess antenna
cable near the pole. Use of a U-guard is recommended to protect the cables. Do
not use staples.
STEP 8.
Slip a cold-shrink tube over the control end of the antenna cable and connect
the cable to the surge suppressor at the bottom of communication gateway box.
Waterproof this connector to industry standards.
The 902- to 928-MHz, 3-dBi antenna includes an omnidirectional fiberglass antenna, a
pole-mounted single antenna arm with 30-foot (9.1-m) or 50-foot (15.2-m) coaxial cable
and N-type male connectors on both ends.
Follow these steps to install Remote Antenna Kit 903-002700-02/03:
STEP 1.
Install the antenna on the antenna bracket with one U-bolt.
STEP 2.
Attach the antenna bracket to the pole. The pole should not block the line of
sight to other antennas.
STEP 3.
Slip the supplied cold-shrink tube over the antenna cable and connect the end
where the shrink tube was applied to the antenna. Tighten finger-tight.
STEP 4.
Wrap the cable connector inside the antenna with one piece of vinyl mastic
tape. Don’t stretch excessively, and do not block the antenna drain holes.
STEP 5.
