Antenna Recommendations

Omni Directional Antenna
CCWR base unit is equipped with an
omni-directional antenna to provide
the widest possible signal coverage.

RP-SMA Connector (Female)
The antenna is provided with a
threaded, weatherproof RP-SMA
female connector. This connector
must be properly tightened to the
male connector on the enclosure.

Vertical Alignment
Perpendicular/horizontal alignment
of the antenna, relative to the
polished rod is essential.

Line-of-sight
Is important to find, whenever
possible, a line of sight with the load
cell where minimal obstacles reside
along the RF path.
Note:
Fresnel Zone, the area around
the visual line-of-sight that radio waves
spread out into after they leave the
antenna must be clear as possible.
Obstacles may weaken signal strength.

Antenna Height
The base unit antenna can be
positioned flexibly using the
antenna extension cable.
Mounting the antenna at a
higher position to the base
may help achieve better
propagation.
Note : The use of extension
cables that always represent
attenuation and signal
strength losses should be
avoided if possible.

Antenna Mating
The recommended torque
setting for the antenna/band-
pass filter is 5lbs (0.56Nm).
