(FLNX).

Product Description

The FLNX (Figure 1) is mounted at or near the FLN
device and is powered by 24 Vac. The antenna can
either be direct-mounted to the radio, or mounted
remotely for installations where the location of the
FLNX would cause the antenna to be shielded. For
example, when the FLNX is mounted inside a TEC
enclosure.

separately.

Antenna Mounting

Direct Mount Antenna

The preferred mounting con

fi

guration is to mount

the FLNX outside the TEC enclosure in a location
where it will establish the maximum number of
communication links with other FLNXs and its
associated FPX. For example, in a VAV application
this will typically be on the bottom of the VAV box in
the ceiling plenum with the entire antenna extending
below the VAV box (Figure 2).
