Tsunami MP.11a Antenna Installation Guide

The location allows for easy disconnection of the surge arrestor from the cable connected to the unit.

The location provides a connection to the same grounding system as the Tsunami MP.11a hardware and the outdoor antenna mast (as described in “Grounding System” on page 16).

Antenna Cable Route

The antenna cable must be connected from the antenna through the surge arrestor to the pigtail connector of the MP.11a unit. To plan the route of the antenna cable, consider the following:

Does the cable route require drilling through a wall or ceiling?

Do you have a building plan of the desired location showing other cabling routes like electricity, telephone or networking?

Does the type of building materials require special drilling tools?

The cable should not be installed into tight positions, as bending or applying excessive force to the connectors can damage the antenna cable. Always allow the cable to bend naturally around corners. The recommended bend radius is at least 100 mm (4 in) or more for the low-loss cable of 10 mm (0.4 in) diameter.

The cable must be secured along the complete distance between attachment points. No part of the antenna cable should be allowed to hang free. This is particularly important for outdoor cable parts.

CAUTION!

The antenna cable and cable connectors are not designed to withstand excessive force:

ºDo not use the connectors as ‘cable grips’ to pull cable through raceways or conduits.

ºDo not use the cable connector to support the weight of the cable during or after installation.

ºDo not use any tool to tighten the connectors.

Always seal the connectors using weatherproofing tape.

Avoid any water or moisture entering the cable as that impacts the performance of the wireless link.

Prior to sealing the outdoor connectors and permanently securing the cable to the wall with cable ties and wall hooks, you may want to verify whether the installation and all components functions properly.
