GROUNDING
System grounding and lightning protection are essential, especially for
exterior-mounted antennas exposed to the elements. Never install an
antenna where it may fall and contact electrical lines (refer to the
National Electrical Code).

ProCurve 14 dBi 5GHz Directional antenna
J9000A
APPLICATION
Designed for wireless LAN service, the ProCurve J9000A is a directional
patch array enclosed in a UV-stable weatherproof radome. The focused
radiation pattern may be used to extend point-to-point link coverage or
to provide targeted sector coverage in the 5 Ghz band.
SAFETY
The ProCurve J9000A and all associated equipment should be installed
in accordance with applicable local and national electrical code guide-
lines to ensure safe operation.
Please read all instructions carefully before attempting to install
and use this product.
ANTENNA LOCATION
The J9000A may be mounted at interior or exterior locations. A line-of-
sight signal path works best for point-to-point links. Although 5 Ghz
signals penetrate cubical dividers and interior partitions with little
attenuation, reinforced block walls, banks of metal cabinets, or steel
shelving may attenuate signals or cause multipath, a condition where
reflected signals interfere with the primary signal. Because antenna
beamwidth is narrow, it is important to aim the antenna accurately dur-
ing installation, in order to provide optimum gain and best performance.
MOUNTING
The J9000A is supplied with a universal articulating mount that accepts
mast diameters up to 2 inches (5.1cm) or mounts to any flat vertical
surface. This mount is especially designed to provide wide-range articu-
lation in both the azimuth and elevation planes.

ASSEMBLY
Install the articulating mount to the antenna back plane, as
shown in Figure-1:
1. Find the molded antenna mount (3) and four 8-32 nylon lock nuts (4).
Use the nuts to attach the mount to the exposed studs on the back of
the antenna.
2. Find the molded articulating arm (2). Also, find a 1/4"-20 x 1-1/4"
machine screw (5), 1/4" lock washer (6), 1/4" flat washer (7), and 1/
4"-20 hex nut (8). Use hardware to secure the molded arm to the
antenna mount as shown in Figure-1.
3. For installation on flat surfaces, find the molded wall/mast mount (1)
and use it as a drill template to mark hole locations. Drill four 3/16"
diameter pilot holes and install wall anchors (9). Install the mount
using four 8-18 x 3/4" self-tapping screws (10).
4. For pole or mast installations, find two worm clamps (11) and install
as shown on the molded wall-mast mount (1). Encircle pole with each
band and tighten.
5. To attach the antenna assembly to the wall/mast mount, find a 1/4" x
1-1/4" machine screw (5) and install a 1/4" lock washer (6) and a 1/
4"- flat washer (7) as shown. Use the screw to attach the free end of
the articulating arm to the mount, securing in place with a 1/4"-20
nut (8).
6. Loosen 1/4"pivot screws as needed to position antenna for desired
azimuth and elevation steering. When antenna is in adjusted, tighten
all hardware securely.
