System Requirements System Requirements This antenna is designed for use with Cisco Aironet access points and bridges but can be used with any 5-GHz Cisco Aironet radio device that uses an RP-TNC connector. Safety Precautions Warning Installation of this antenna near power lines is dangerous. For your safety, follow the installation directions. Warning This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury.

Installation Guidelines 3. Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation. This is a small inconvenience considering your life is at stake. 4. Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is largely a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it.

Installing the Antenna Site Selection Before attempting to install your antenna, determine where you can best place the antenna for safety and performance. Follow these steps to determine a safe distance from wires, power lines, and trees. Step 1 Measure the height of your antenna. Step 2 Add this length to the length of your tower or mast and then double this total for the minimum recommended safe distance. Caution If you are unable to maintain this safe distance, stop and get professional help.

Installing the Antenna Mounting on a Vertical Surface Follow these steps to mount your antenna on a vertical surface. This procedure describes mounting the antenna on a drywall surface. If you are mounting the antenna on any other type of surface, your procedure may vary slightly. Step 1 Determine the location in which you will mount the antenna. Step 2 Use the antenna as a template to mark the locations of the four mounting holes with a pencil. Step 3 Use a drill and 3/16-in. (4.

Installing the Antenna Mounting on a Mast The antenna can be mounted on a mast using an optional mast mounting kit as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Optional Mast Mount 1 -20 u-bolt 4 Mounting plate 2 Support bracket 5 #8-32 x 1- machine screws and screw cap washers 3 -in. flat washers and -20 nuts 6 Antenna cable Follow these steps to mount the antenna on a mast. Step 1 Place one -20 u-bolt around the mast, and place one support bracket on the u-bolt.

Installing the Antenna Step 6 Position the antenna on the mounting plate. Step 7 Place the screw cap washers onto the four #8-32 x 1- -in. machine screws. Step 8 Install the screws through the antenna mounting plate and install the #8 nuts. Step 9 Tighten the #8 screws and nuts with a #2 Phillips screwdriver and an 11/32-in. (9-mm) wrench. Caution Do not overtighten the nuts. You could damage the antenna. Step 10 Install the screw caps onto the screw cap washers.

Installing the Antenna Installing the Articulated Mount The antenna can also be mounted on an optional articulated mounting device as shown in Figure 2. The articulated mount is used with the mast mount to provide a way to adjust the antenna elevation and azimuth through a limited range.
PAGE 10
Installing the Antenna Figure 2 shows the articulated mount installed on a mast. You can also install it on any suitable flat surface. Follow these steps to install the articulated mount on a mast: Step 1 Place one -20 u-bolt around the mast, and place one support bracket on the U-bolt. Step 2 Place the articulated mounting base on the u-bolt. Step 3 Place two -in. flat washers and -20 nuts on the ends of the u-bolt. Tighten the nuts finger tight.

Obtaining Documentation Note The antenna cable has a 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) bend radius. Sharply bending or crimping the cable may cause a degredation in performance. The antenna terminates with a RP-TNC plug after a short, 3-ft (0.91-m) cable. The mating connector to the antenna is an appropriate RP-TNC jack. The connector on the opposite end will vary according to the type of equipment used.
