AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide 6 Fit Front sector antenna to AirSynergy The AirSynergy unit can be used either with a sector antenna mounted directly on the front or with a remotely attached RF antenna. 6.
AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Figure 10 – AirSynergy Front mount antenna connections – applying self amalgamating tape Apply a layer of self amalgamating tape and a layer of electrical tape to the weather-exposed RF connector. Figure 12 – AirSynergy antenna connections – applying PVC tape Ensure the RF connector is completely sealed from the weather.
AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide 6.2 Secure AirSynergy and Antenna to pole mount plate To mount the AirSynergy to the universal mounting plate, perform the following steps: 1. Hook the studs into the top slots of the mounting plate. With the studs engaged in the top slots raise the unit slightly until the bottom studs also drop into their respective slots. Secure the flange nuts (4 positions).
AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide Figure 16 – Gently lift the AirSynergy body until the bottom studs engage in the bottom slots Figure 17 – AirSynergy body engaged in the bottom slots 2. The slot arrangement at the top allow the AirSynergy and front mounted antenna to be downtilted by a few degrees to provide real downtilt or to compensate for the taper angle on the pole.
AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide 3. The downtilt angles are not marked by the adjustment slots so a tiltmeter is required to set a specific angle and then tighten the flange nuts ith a 10mm wrench on each stud (4 positions) Figure 13 – Tighten flange nuts (4 poitions) once the required mounting angle is set 4. There is an option to connect an earthing cable to the M6 screw fixing point at the bottom of the main body casting.
AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide . 6.3 Install GPS Antenna 6.4 Install GPS antenna for AirSynergy Note: AirSynergy units without a factory fitted Switching antenna all require a GPS antenna which comes in a kit with a mounting bracket and a 25cm cable. A prime consideration for a GPS antenna is a clear view of the sky, preferably 360 degrees Install the GPS antenna bracket to the AirSynergy unit using the M6 threaded hole near the top of the main using the fixing.
AirSynergy Equipment Installation Guide 7 Connect to Power System Caution: Hazardous voltage! Before working, ensure that the power is removed from the power connection cables. When the system is powered on, do not touch the power terminals. 7.1 Connect PSU Output to PoE injector 7.
