STEP 1:
Choose a mounting location with
good line of sight to the remote location.
The supplied bracket can be mounted to a
wall or to an existing pole up to
2”
diame-
ter. If only really short distances are need-
ed, the antenna can be mounted inside a
building.
TECH TIP:
Microwaves travel in straight lines and they lose
strength quickly when going thru buildings and trees. If there are
objects in the microwave path, then useable distance will be reduced. If
the target unit is less than 1 mile away then you won
’
t have to worry too
much about a couple obstructions but if over 1 mile and there are some
obstructions in the microwave path, then the performance will be re-
duced
.
2.4GHz is more forgiving than 5GHz.
STEP 2:
Mount the Bracket:
To mount to a wall: The supplied u
-
bolt is not used and the bracket is
screwed directly to a wall using customer supplied screws. To mount to
a pole: Use the supplied U
-
Bolt and wing nuts. Make sure to use a lock
washer at each wing nut. Tighten wing nuts evenly by hand. Use pli-
ers if additional tightness is needed.
STEP 3:
Mount the antenna housing to the
bracket. Put the hex head bolt thru the housing
back fin. Put the star lock washer so it is be-
tween plastic housing and metal bracket. Install
wing nut with lock washer. Adjust desired tilt an-
gle and tighten wing nut. Use pliers if additional
tightness is needed.
TECH TIP:
Because of the specially designed wide beamwidth an-
tenna, pointing is not critical and simply pointing in the general di-
rection of the receiving antenna will yield great results.
STEP 4:
Remove the antenna bottom cover by using a
coin or house key or screwdriver to push in one of the
side snaps and then remove the cover.
STEP 5:
Route a CAT5/6 cable through the bottom cov-
er and plug into the RJ45 jack farthest
from the LED
’
s. Keep the black gasket
material in the bottom of the cover to help
keep out dust and insects.
