Tsunami MP.11 Antenna Installation

Antenna Cable Routing

The antenna cable must be routed and fixed in such a way that installation technicians have a clear passage area.

All connectors that are located outdoors must have a weatherproof seal. You are advised to seal connectors only after you have completed the final radio test.

BEFORE CLIMBING THE ROOF...

Before you start the installation, check whether you have all the required components to set up an outdoor wireless link.

For each side of a wireless outdoor wireless link you need:

One or two low-loss antenna cables or a unit with an integrated antenna

A female-female converter N-connector in case you want to use two antenna cables

Tools and material to mount the antenna

Tape or wraps to attach the antenna cable, for example to the mast

Ethernet cable with waterproof cap for 5054-R

Grounding material such as cable and Faston connector for 5054 or ground-lug plus screw, for 5054-R

If an item is missing or damaged during shipment, inform your supplier.
