6. Connect the antenna.
Be sure the antenna is
securely connected to the FPX.
For a remote mount antenna, do the following:
a. Locate the liquid tight fitting so the antenna
extension cable does not incur excessive
pull force. At the enclosure, punch a 1/2 in.
(1.3 cm) knockout and use the locknut to
secure the body of the liquid tight fitting into
the knockout.
b. Route the antenna through the body of the
liquid tight fitting (Figure 5). Hand-tighten
the liquid tight fitting nut to secure the
antenna in place.
Make certain the liquid tight fitting nut
tightens on the antenna base, not the
antenna itself, so the antenna can be
adjusted.
c. Connect the antenna wire securely to the
FLNX.
7. Position the antenna in a vertical orientation (up
or down).
The installation is complete.
To temporarily power an FLNX, such as for
a site survey or determining the best
placement for an FLNX used as a
repeater, you can use a common 9V
battery. Use a battery snap connector,
available from a retail electronics store,
and connect the battery as shown in
Figure 6.
The battery will power the FLNX for
approximately four to six hours.
