INSTALLING THE 4G ANTENNA
To use the VALINA with a 4G connection, you need a 4G commu-
nications board and a 4G antenna. The recommended con-
figuration, which has been certified, uses an MA412.A.BI.030
antenna supporting 4G plus 3G and 2G fallback.
You may use other models of 4G (MIMO 1/MIMO 2) antenna,
but performance cannot be guaranteed. Note that the MIMO 1
cable must always be connected to the MAIN SMA connector
on the 4G communications board.
For easy access, start by installing the SIM on the telecoms
board. Next, install the telecoms board in the VALINA. Mount
the VALINA in the vending machine, install the 4G antenna
and connect the antenna cables to the telecoms board.
Step 1: Drill the mounting hole
Drill the mounting hole in the top of the vending machine.
The mounting hole must be 20 mm in diameter, and it is recom-
mended to drill it in the centre of the top panel.
Step 2: Remove the split washer and split nut
Remove the split washer and split nut from the threaded tube
underneath the antenna.
Step 3: Remove the protective foil
Peel the protective foil off the self-adhesive sealing pad on
the bottom of the antenna.
Step 4: Fit the threaded tube and the two antenna cables
Insert the threaded tube and the two antenna cables through
the mounting hole. Make sure the long edge of the antenna
is aligned with the long edge of the vending machine, and that
the cables are not kinked or trapped.

Step 5: Press the antenna firmly into position
Step 6: Position the two cables
1. Put the two cables inside the split washer and slip the
washer over the threaded tube.
2. Put the two cables inside the split nut, and screw the nut
on to the threaded tube. Use a spanner to make sure the
nut is firm, but do not apply excessive force.
The antenna is now fixed firmly in place on top of the vending
machine, and the two antenna cables are hanging freely.
