Instruction Manual for Antenna Model Number: GWWPX309SM
General
This instruction manual contains all necessary information required to assist in
the correct installation of the Panel Antennas GWWPX309SM to a 70-114mm
diameter pipe when using mounting kit with clamp bracket. This antenna can
be remotely adjust electrical downtilt by using external AISG-compatible RCU
module. Mechanical downtilt is also available if required.
Following symbols can be found next to text outlining important information.
Please follow the procedure marked with this symbol precisely.

Installation Instructions
Assemble mounting kits as per Figure 2 and 3 of this document.
Do not install near power lines. Power lines,
telephone lines, and guy wires look the same.
Assume any wire or line can electrocute you
Do not install on a wet or windy day or
when lightning or thunder is in the area.
Do not use metal ladder
Wear shoes with rubber soles and heels.
Wear protective clothing including a
long-sleeved shirt and rubber gloves.
1. Attach the mounting kit assembly to the antenna, before trying to clamp
the brackets to the pole.
2. Downtilt angles in 1oincrements can be obtained with the correct
adjustment of the tilt arm bracket.
Downtilt can be achieved by aligning the corresponding hole in the
tilt arm to the pivot bracket which mates against the mounting pole,
as shown in Figure 4. The first hole is for 1o downtilt*, with each
consecutive hole resulting in an increased inclination of 1o.
For 0odowntilt the tilt arm may be stowed as show in Figure 4.
An inclinometer or other angular measuring device should be used
to verify downtilt angle as required.
The clamp brackets can clamp pipe diameters between 70-114 mm

Operation of Antennas
Each RF and/or AISG port on the antenna is numbered
and identified in accordance with AISG Standard “AISG
Antenna Port Color Coding”.
This antenna providing standard motor connectors for
external RCU module connection at bottom cap. The
RCU offering AISG-compatible ports to connect controller
or equipment via AISG cables. After ensuring both
connectors are dry, push in the mating connector, then
tighten.
Using excessive torque may damage the AISG
connection in the antenna.

Adjusting Mechanical Downtilt After Installation
Figure 5: Upper Mounting Bracket Assembly
The RF connectors fitted to the antenna are designed to
fit jumper cables with a corresponding male connector.
After ensuring both mating connectors are dry push the
male connector in and tighten the connector coupling to
the correct torque.
If needed or as required by local procedures a
weatherproofing kit may then be fitted to the connection.
If the RF connectors are tightened beyond the
recommend torque the RF connection to the antenna
may be damaged.

Connection
1. Use a tether to secure the antenna’s hoisting eye to
the mounting structure. The tether can be a rope, wire
rope, chain, or similar material. The tether should be
short enough to prevent the antenna from tilting
beyond its maximum downtilt range. This will prevent
the antenna from tilting away from the mounting
structure when the adjusting bolts are removed, See
Figure 5.
Installed cables or the antenna may be damaged if
they are allowed to strike the mounting structure when
the antenna mechanical downtilt is changed

2. Loosen the fasteners holding the bottom antenna bracket to the bottom
pivot bracket. Do not remove them, See Figure 6.
Figure 6: Lower Mounting Bracket Assembly
3. Remove the M12 bolts, washers, and nuts from the pivot bracket. The antenna
may tilt down to the extent allowed by the tether installed in step 1, See Figure 7.
Figure 7: Upper Mounting Bracket Assembly
4. The desired downtilt angle may be obtained with the correct adjustment of the
tilt arm bracket. See the installation instructions above for detailed information.
5. Adjust the antenna downtilt to the desired angle and reinstall the M12 bolts,
washers, and nuts between the upper pivot bracket and the tilt arm.
6. Tighten all four M12 nuts to 38 Nm
7. Remove the tether.
