ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
(5150 - 5875 MHz)
APPLICATION
Designed for wireless LAN service, the S51514WP
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
S51514WP
and all associated equipment
should be installed in accordance with applicable local and
national electrical code guidelines to ensure safe operation.
ANTENNA LOCATION
The S51514WP 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 .n
iaccurately during installatio
in order to provide optimum gain and best performance.
MOUNTING
The S51514WP 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 articulation 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 adjusted,
tighten all hardware securely.
