The amplifier can be mast mounted using the steel U-bolt included with the unit. Refer to the
drawing at the end of the manual for a cabling diagram. In outdoor applications, the amplifier
must be installed with the connectors facing downward. Use an open-end wrench to
carefully tighten the bolts using the included nuts. Take care not to over-tighten the bolts.
Alternately, the amplifier can be mounted to a flat surface using any of the mounting holes on
the brackets mounting flanges. However, for maximum reliability the connectors should be
facing downward.
It is very important to waterproof the RF connectors on the amp. However, it is recommended
that you do not tape the connectors until after all system tests have been performed. Be sure
to use a high quality weather resistant electrical tape and/or other water sealant method.
Silicon sealants are not recommended since they are hard to work with, do not ensure a 100%
waterproofing of the connectors and difficult to remove if ever necessary.
The picture to the left shows the amplifier in typical
installation shown with the YDI Model PT2421 Grid
Dish antenna vertically polarized. The location on the
mast where the amplifier is mounted is not important:
provided that the connectors face downward. (Note
that when this picture was taken, the connectors
were not taped yet nor was the cable secured to
the mast.) Also, there is not need to plug or fill any
of the holes on the back of the amplifier enclosure.
The housing is designed such that these holes do not
penetrate the inside of the waterproof seal even
though an initial inspection might make you think
otherwise.
If the tower or mast is adequately grounded and the
U-bolt makes good electrical connection to it, then
there is no need to provide additional grounding to the
amplifier enclosure.
The DC Power Injector is not in a waterproof enclosure and must be protected from the
weather. It can be permanently mounted to a surface using the mounting flanges. If it is not
mounted to a well-grounded metal plate or bulkhead, then a separate ground strap will need to
connect to the grounding stud on the Injector.

Authorized Antennas
FCC certified systems consist of:
·
A2440-xxF amplifier, DC Injector and 12 VDC Power supply
·
Orinoco/Lucent WLAN card with the FCC ID#: IMRWLPCE24H
·
Outdoor Antenna (Table A)
·

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment when installed as directed. This equipment should be
installed and operated with fix-mounted antennas that are installed such that the
main lobe(s) of these antennas will have a minimum of 2 meters of separation
distance between the antenna and all persons’ body during normal operation.
Safety Notice
Refer to the Typical Installation Detail drawing at the end of this manual for more information
about the installation.
