5.
Secure the antenna in place with self-tapping screws or machine screws and nuts
depending on access to the mounting surface. The remote antenna may also be
mounted using adhesive or a high strength outdoor grade silicone when mounting
holes are not an option in the mounting surface.
6.
Connect the SMA connector on the remote antenna cable to the SMA connector on
the terminal and torque to
1.7 N-m (15 in-lb)
.
Note:
The recommended torque specification is approximately finger tight plus a
45 degree rotation using an 8 mm wrench.
CAUTION
Cable management and connector strain relief must be
incorporated in the installation. Secure the cable no more
than 15 cm from the enclosure and at regular intervals along
its length as part of the installation to prevent cable wear and
eliminate strain on the terminal connector. Damage to the
connector interface or cable may otherwise result leading to
hardware failure.
4.7.2 Adhesive Mount
The remote antenna may also be mounted using adhesive or a high strength outdoor grade
silicone when mounting holes are not an option in the mounting surface.
Refer to the adhesive manufacturer's recommendations for application temperature,
application conditions, compatible bonding materials, and minimum curing times when
working with an adhesive. Failure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines could result in
the remote antenna separating from the mounting surface.
CAUTION
Adhesive or silicone cannot block the
air vent features shown
in Figure 36.
