Honeywell Industrial Wireless High Gain Omni-Directional Antenna

Warning: Always use caution when installing this antenna. You can be seriously injured if this antenna comes near or in contact with a power line. Follow all local and national electrical code requirements when installing the Base Radio with the high gain antenna.

[1]Select the locations for the high gain antenna, the lightning arrestor and Base Radio.

Any Base Radio with an Omni Directional antenna is for ordinary locations only.

It is recommended that the lightning arrestor be mounted in close proximity to the building egress. The lightning arrestor should be mounted indoors unless you have the weatherproof enclosure.

The location for the high gain antenna should be selected based on optimal positioning for RF communications with the field units and allow for sufficient length of coaxial cable to reach the building egress.

The Base Radio should be installed in a location where there is sufficient coaxial cable available to reach the building egress.

[2]Position the antenna so that the gold sleeve clears any obstructions.

[3]Mount the antenna using the 2 mounting brackets. One clamp must be placed at the center of the gold sleeve, the other at any point below.

[4]Connect the Base Radio coaxial cable to the lightning arrestor and tighten by hand.

[5]Attach the ground wire to a suitable earth ground connection. Keep this wire as short as possible. Make sure this connection conforms to electrical code requirements.

[6]Connect the lightning arrestor coaxial cable to the antenna and hand tighten.

[7]Install a drip loop in the cable to insure proper drainage.

[8]Wrap the antenna connection with the supplied waterproofing material.

Note: Do not cover the drain holes on the bottom of the antenna as they provide drainage for moisture.
