Installation Instructions
LPM2-7-27[-X]
SW3-1092 - v1
1. Introduction
T
he LPM2-7-27 antenna series is a range of low profile antennas incorporating 2x LTE elements covering 4G LTE frequencies for MiMo operation. The
antenna range should only be installed on non-conductive panels - installation on conductive / metal panels will result in significant detriment to performance.
especially at lower frequencies from 698-960MHz.
2. Mounting requirements and selecting location
Ensure that there is adequate under panel clearance and that there are no obstructions under the mounting panel. Measure to check for central position if
applicable. For optimal performance the antenna should, if possible, be mounted at least 300mm (1ft) away from other conductive objects on the mounting
panel.
4. Fitting the antenna
Note:It is recommended that the installation is carried out when the temperature is greater than 50°F (10°C) as the ideal temperature for the pad bonding
is 70°F (21°C) to 100°F (37°C).
Remove protective backing from underside of antenna adhesive pad, feed coaxial cable(s) through panel. Position the antenna over the hole and stick to
panel by applying firm downward pressure. Assemble nut from underside and tighten.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed a torque of 5Nm (3.6ft/lbs) when tightening the mounting nut.
5. Routing and terminating coaxial cable
Route the coaxial cables to the equipment, taking care to avoid fouling any moving component. The cables must not be routed in front of any airbag device.
Respect a minimum bend radius of 12mm (1/2”) if possible.
6. Commission and test
● Check the VSWR measures as specified on the datasheet.
3. Prepare and drill hole
Mask panel area around hole position to protect paintwork and headliner. Drill a pilot hole, and then increase to 19mm
(3/4”), ensuring that drill/ cutter bit does not contact headliner. Clean area around the hole, carefully removing all swarf.
