4.0 Installation
4.1 Mounting and Location
The DN-2400E/EP case outline drawing is shown in Figure 4.1.1. The supplied antenna is hinged, allow-
ing it to be set vertically with the case mounted either horizontally or vertically. The DN-2400E/EP case is
designed for indoor use. It must be installed in a weather proof enclosure when used outdoors, such as a
NEMA 4X enclosure. The enclosure must be made of plastic or other materials with low RF attenuation to
avoid compromising antenna performance. Metal enclosures are not suitable for use with internal anten-
nas as they will block antenna radiation and reception.
DN-2400E/EP should be mounted at least six feet above the floor (ground) to achieve good communica-
tion reliability in a typical office or retail location. To achieve maximum range and reliability, especially in
industrial locations, the DN-2400E/EP should be mounted as high as practical. RFM offers a number of
high gain antennas that can be used to further extend the DN-2400E/EP’s range. The use of these an-
tennas is not allowed in all geographical regions; contact RFM’s technical service department for addi-
tional details.
