Installation Instructions
CMSLP-6-60 - SiSo Ceiling Antenna
Introduction
The CMSLP-6-60 is a SiSo 3G/4G/5G ceiling mount antenna designed to be low profi le and un-obtrusive. The antenna
can be mounted to conductive or non-conductive panels using the supplied nut and / or mounting screws.The anten-
na is low PIM and is supplied with low PIM cable and a variety of connectors.

Mounting requirements and selecting location
The antenna should normally be placed in a fl at, horizontal orientation with the cable exit at the top. When ceiling
mounted the antenna should be mounted centrally within the desired coverage area.
The antenna should be spaced as far away from any nearby metal structure as possible. Ensure that there is ade-
quate under panel clearance and that the coaxial cable can be routed to the equipment.
Ensure that the selected mounting location can safely be accessed using the equipment that is available.
Antenna Mounting
C.
Where the antenna will be fi tted on a lift out ceiling panel, it may be preferable to remove the panel and mount the
antenna on the panel whilst working at ground level.
Mark the position for the centre fi xing and make a clearance hole for the relevant connector. In the case of an N
female connector this will be 18mm (3/4”) and in the case of a 4.3-10 female connector it should be 24mm (1”). Drill
a pilot hole fi rst and then increase to the required size.
If using the optional additional screw fi xings mark the position of the mounting holes (the antenna can be used as
a template) & drill. If mounting to an appropriate material self tapping screws can be used. Screws should be M4
or No.8 pan head screws of an appropriate length for the installation. Note. Using metal screws may negatively
impact low PIM performance - plastic mounting bolts are preferable if available. Clear up all dust and swarf carefully
especially if mounting to a conductive panel as this may also negatively affect PIM performance.
Remove the supplied nut and mount the antenna being careful not to kink or damage the cable. Re fi x the nut and
tighten. Tighten (but do not overtighten) any screw fi xings over-tightening may damage the antenna cover.
Routing and terminating coaxial cable(s)
D.
Route the coaxial cable to the mating connector, ensuring that the cable is secured and protected from subsequent
damage during access. The cable should never be kinked and the minimum bend radius of 32mm (1.25”) must be
observed.
If cable ties are used, they should not be overtightened, as this will distort the cable profi le and could affect the antenna
performance. Any excess cable should be laid “side by side” (not coiled) and can be secured by cable ties or tape.
Connectors should be cleaned with air or a soft brush and then tightened to the correct torque which is 1Nm for an N
type or a maximum of 5Nm for 4.3-10 connectors.
