1. HAZARDOUS CONDITION WARNINGS
Like all other global technology vendors, Fluidmesh is required to comply
with all local health and government regulations in the locations in which
we operate. This includes meeting radio frequency (RF) exposure limits
for our products.
Our equipment is tested in accordance with regulatory requirements as a
condition to our ability to market and sell in any given jurisdiction. As an
equipment manufacturer, Fluidmesh defers to expert national and
international health organizations responsible for guidance on the safety
of RF signals, specifically the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
Health Canada, the World Health Organization (WHO), and other national
and global health agencies.
In May 2019, the FDA stated that there is "no link between adverse health
effects and exposure at or under the current RF energy exposure limit",
and that the current FCC RF exposure limits are sufficient to insure the
safety of users.
If any Fluidmesh hardware unit breaks down or malfunctions, emits smoke
or an unusual smell, if water or other foreign matter enters the unit
enclosure, or if the unit is dropped onto a hard surface or damaged in any
way, power off the unit immediately and contact an authorized Fluidmesh
Networks dealer for assistance.
If you are adjusting and/or controlling a Fluidmesh device using control
software such as the RACER™ interface or the device's local Configurator
interface, do not make configuration changes unless you know with
certainty that your changes will not negatively impact people or animals in
the vicinity of the device and its antennas.

1.1. Radio-frequency transmission hazard
WARNING
The system shown in this manual is designed to be installed
and operated in a way that avoids contact with the antennas by
human beings. The legislation quoted in this section is
designed to reduce overall exposure of human beings to RF
radiation.
This section gives minimum separation distances between
antennas and humans. It is strongly recommended that the
system be installed in a location where these minimum
separation distances can be maintained at all times.
United States: This system has been evaluated for RF
exposure for humans, in accordance with FCC regulation CFR
47 Part 2.1091. To maintain compliance, the minimum
separation distance from the antenna to general bystanders is
20cm/7.9in. (all FM Ponte kit and x200 radio transceivers), or
21cm/8.3 in. (all FM1300 Otto and x500 radio transceivers).
Canada: This system has been evaluated for RF exposure for
humans, in accordance with ISED regulation RSS-102. To
maintain compliance, the minimum separation distance from
the antenna to general bystanders is 20cm/7.9in. for all
Fluidmesh radio transceivers.
Europe / Australia / New Zealand: This system has been
evaluated for RF exposure for humans, in accordance with
standard EN 62232. To maintain compliance, the minimum
separation distance from the antenna to general bystanders is
20cm/7.9in. for all Fluidmesh radio transceivers.
Before activating any device capable of transmitting RF
signals, make sure that all persons and animals are protected
from possible RF exposure.
Make sure that all RF feeds are securely connected to an
appropriate antenna. Never activate any RF-capable device
that is not connected to an antenna.

3. Introduction
This manual gives field-level installation instructions for installing
Fluidmesh antennas. It is intended for use by wireless networking
professionals who have been tasked with installing Fluidmesh radio
antennas.
To prevent personal injury and equipment damage, and to ensure
optimum network performance:
• Install all network hardware where it cannot be physically damaged.
• Shield all network hardware from salt water and chemical spray.
• Keep a safe distance from all RF-radiating devices when such
devices are powered on, make sure that all persons and animals
are protected from possible RF exposure before activating any
device capable of transmitting RF signals, and do not stand in line
with powered RF-radiating devices.
• Make sure that all RF feeds are securely connected to an
appropriate antenna before activating any device capable of
transmitting RF signals.
3.1. The TUBE antenna
The TUBE antenna is a unidirectional antenna with high gain, and clear
directivity. It is primarily designed for use in tunnels and closed
environments, such as the tracksides of underground commuter-train
networks, as well as other underground mobility applications such as
mines.
The TUBE antenna includes an integral mounting bracket, and is suited
for direct mounting to walls.

4. Installation
4.1. Environmental rating
Fluidmesh TUBE antennas are designed to withstand adverse
environmental conditions.
4.2. General installation practices to follow and avoid
When installing and adjusting an antenna in any scenario that uses
Fluidmesh hardware, install and adjust the antenna according to the
following recommendations.
NOTE
Not all recommendations listed in this section will apply to all
antennas.
• Make sure the antenna and its transceiver unit are properly
grounded (earthed) to prevent the antenna and transceiver from
accumulating static electricity or producing sparks. If the antenna
and/or transceiver are mounted in a flammable environment, stray
sparks could ignite the flammable materials, causing an explosion
and/or flash fire.
• Wherever practically possible, keep all antenna cabling runs under
10 feet (three metres). Radio signals conducted through antenna
cabling before being transmitted from an antenna suffer from a
phenomenon called signal attenuation. The signal gradually
dissipates along the length of the cable due to electrical resistance
before being transmitted from the antenna, reducing signal
amplitude.
• Do not bend or kink antenna cabling. Kinks and bends may cause
breaks and/or narrow points in the cable's electrical conductor,
resulting in degraded signal amplitude.
• Be sure to comply with the minimum and maximum co-location
distances specified by Fluidmesh for each antenna type. This helps
avoid co-location interference (in which the radio transmissions
from two or more antennas partially cancel each other out).
• Note that during test and adjustment of stationary antennas, an
antenna placement adjustment of between four and five feet (1.2m
to 1.5m) may be needed.
• A signal quality test and adjustment must always be done during an
installation to verify signal quality and amplitude. If the test and
adjustment procedure is not done, the installation is at risk of under-
performing due to poor line-of-sight and other factors.
• If applicable, avoid installing antennas inside audio loudspeaker
enclosures. The proximity of a radio antenna to the metal in
Installation
© 2021 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Page 8 of 23

speaker bodies causes degraded performance due to radio
reflections. In addition, the energy of radio (microwave)
transmissions that strike metal is partially or completely dissipated
as a flow of electrons, requiring higher transmission power to
broadcast a viable signal. Non-metallic loudspeaker enclosures
made of polycarbonate or other plastics, enclosures painted with
non-metallic paint, and antennas mounted under or behind shrouds
are all acceptable.
• Avoid installing antennas on or close to metal surfaces, metal
beams and similar. This helps to avoid radio reflections and
dissipation.
4.3. Contents of the kit
The antenna kit contains the following components:
4.3.1. FM-TUBE
• 1x FM-TUBE antenna.
4.4. Installing the antenna
IMPORTANT
When connecting an antenna to a radio unit, only use shielded
co-axial antenna cables of type LMR 240 or better.
4.4.1. Installing a TUBE antenna
To install a TUBE antenna, do the following steps:
1. Determine the best installation position of the antenna according
to the following rules:
• The TUBE antenna must be installed as closely to the
center line of the train tracks as possible. If the antenna
must be installed in an laterally offset position from the
center line of the train tracks, the maximum permitted
offset is 50 ft. (15m) (below).
Installation

• The TUBE antenna must be installed a minimum of 6 ft.
(1.83m) above the mounting point of the train antennas
(below).
• The co-axial cables that are used to connect the TUBE
antenna to the radio must be less than 3 ft. (1m) long.
Installation

• The TUBE antenna must be installed in such a way that its
horizontal and vertical polarization planes both intersect
the line of travel of the train at 45° (below). Refer to the
label on the antenna for correct installation.
2. Attach the antenna to an appropriate wall, using the four fixing
holes (red highlights, below).
3. Remove the plastic caps from the cable connectors on the
underside of the antenna (blue highlights, above).
4. Connect the N-male terminals on the antenna cables (below) to
the correct cable connectors on the antenna.
