SKF Multilog On-line System IMx-8/IMx-8Plus

User Manual

Revision E

Notes:

•

The 699 to 791 MHz range (typically North American LTE) is not supported
by this antenna.

•

Refer also to

for important certification information and minimum

antenna-personnel separation distances.

•

The antenna used is a 2j-antennae, type 2J6547Ba (equivalent to 2J6550Ba
but without GPS). If using an alternative, select an antenna with similar
specifications and the same or lower gains.

•

Bluetooth support in the IMx-8Plus remains via the USB Bluetooth dongle
and not the antenna.

3.7 GPS module (optional)

The GPS module, CMON 4139, is connected to the IMx-8/IMx-8Plus via a 5-metre
integral cable and should be fitted externally to the cabinet in a location that allows
satellite tracking. An M12 cable gland is included. The overall dimensions and fixing
centres are shown in the figure below.

Figure 24

GPS module dimensions

The GPS module is designed to be fitted to a flat mounting surface and has two
clearance holes for M5 fixings, 40 mm pitch, which straddle the cable exit.
