How to attach antenna extensions (long antennas only)How to attach antenna extensions (long antennas only)
How to attach antenna extensions (long antennas only)
•Attach the antenna extensions 1to the flange.
•Attach the antenna 2.
•Make sure the antenna extensions are fully engaged.
•Use a 3 mm Allen wrench to tighten the locking screws 3.
•If you attach more or less extensions than were initially ordered, change
the antenna extension value in the OPTIWAVE program mode. Use the
display screen or PACTware™.
iAntenna extension = antenna extension length x number of extensions
•If you attach more extensions than were initially ordered, change the
blocking distance value in the user interface.
iMinimum blocking distance = antenna length + (antenna extension
length x number of extensions) + 0.1 m / 4"
