2x2 MiMo Omni-Directional Antenna
BS[G]M-6-60
SW3-963 - v1
1. Introduction
The BS[G]M-6-60 is a range of omni-directional tube antennas for 4G/5G applications requiring support for 2x2 MiMo with optional GPS/GNSS. Ideal for
fixed site, marine or failover applications the antenna is suitable for external or internal mounting. The antenna is supplied with a wall mount bracket, with
brackets for mast or rail mounting and a sealing gasket for panel / deck mounting.
Electrical Safety Note
Variants of this product contain an active GPS/GNSS antenna. Rated voltage: 3-5VDC Rated current: 20mA maximum.
The supply to this device must be provided with overcurrent protection of 1A maximum.
2. Planning and Installation
To minimize the effects of surrounding objects, the antenna should be located as far away from other structures as possible. If fitted with GPS/GNSS the
antenna should have a clear view of the sky. The orientation of the antenna should be vertical with the cable exiting downwards.
A bracket is supplied, allowing fitment to a wall, rail or mast (18-50mm (3/4-2”) diameter) using the u-bolts / clamps provided. The antenna bracket has
4x 8mm (5/16”) clearance holes which also allow screw mounting. When mounting the antenna to a metal housing, device enclosure or mast care should
be taken to ensure that the antenna housing is elevated above the metal surface to which it is mounted. Ensure that the selected location will enable the
coaxial cable to be easily connected and routed to the equipment. If mounting the antenna using screws it is important to check for adequate under panel
clearance.
The antenna can also be mounted to flat, level panels of up to 3mm (0.1”) thickness using the supplied M6x1 screws and gasket. For thicker panels it may
be necessary to source longer M6x1 screws. The mounting panel can be conductive or non-conductive. Select a mounting location taking care to ensure
that there is at least 300mm (12”) of clearance from proximate metal objects. Ensure that there is adequate clearance under the mounting panel and
measure to check for central positioning if necessary.
3. Safety Notes
• If the antenna will be fitted to an existing mast, please ensure that it will not overload it.
• Ensure that the installation location can be safely accessed with the equipment that you have available.
• If mounting to a wall in a position which is accessible care should be taken to ensure that no one comes within 0.3m (1’) of the antenna during use.
gp()g
Parts of the antenna are an electrical conductor. Contact with power lines can result in death, or serious injury. Do not install the antenna where
there is any possibility of contact with (or high voltage arc-over from) power cables. The antenna and supporting mast must not be close to any
power lines during installation, removal or in the event that part of the system should accidentally fall.
If the antenna is installed above the roof line or in an exposed location, it is advisable to fit lightning surge arrestors in the coaxial cable feed
lines. Suitable units should be sourced and installed as per the manufacturer instructions. The installer is responsible for determining if this is a
requirement for the antenna installation.

4. Mounting Using the Wall / Mast / Rail
Bracket
Check that you have the required mounting hardware and equip-
ment available. The antenna can be bracket mounted via the
supplied fixing holes (suitable for machine screws or self-tapping
screws) or rail / mast mounted using the supplied u-bolts / clamps.
If drilling holes to mount the antenna the bracket can be used as a
drilling template. Consider whether, given the installation location,
it is better to mount the antenna to the bracket before mounting
the complete assembly or whether it is better to mount the bracket
first.
When ready mount the antenna securely to the bracket using the
supplied screws and washers. It is advisable but not essential to
use the supplied gasket.
If utilising the gasket feed the the gasket over the cables up to the
base of the antenna. Pass the cables into the slot in the bracket
aligning the holes in the gasket with the holes in the antenna and
bracket. Assemble the bolts and washer from under the bracket
and hand tighten fully performing a final tighten with a spanner.
Caution: Do not overtighten the bolts as this may damage the
antenna.
Safety Check: Ensure that the bracket is securely fixed to wall /
mast / rail before finalising the installation.
5. Panel Mounting
Mask the panel area around the hole position to protect the surface / paintwork if required. Drill pilot holes in the configuration shown below, then
increase the hole sizes to the diameters indicated, ensuring that the drill / cutter bit does not hit any objects under the panel. Note that a central hole
diameter of 30mm (1.2”) inches is required for versions of the product fitted with N-type connectors whereas a hole of 20mm (0.8”) will be sufficient for
versiond fitted with SMA or Fakra type connectors. The supplied rubber gasket can be used as a drilling template if requried.
Clean the area around the holes carefully removing all debris or swarf. Feed the the gasket over the cables up to the base of the antenna. Locate the
antenna gasket over the mounting holes aligning the holes in the gasket with the holes in the panel Feed the coaxial cables through the panel. Posi-
tion the antenna and gasket over the mounting hole and align the mounting bosses with the holes in the gasket and panel - you may need to fixture
the antenna in place. Assemble the bolts and washer from under the panel and hand tighten fully performing a final tighten with a spanner. Consider
whether additional silicone should be applied to seal the installation
Caution: Do not overtighten the bolts as this may damage the antenna or distort the mounting panel.

7. Commission and Test
Check GPS/GNSS cable (where applicable):
●Check the GPS cable with DC to measure high resistance.
●Connect the GPS cable to the GPS receiver and check for satellite acquisition.
Check comms cable(s)
●Carry out VSWR check, should measure as specified in the antenna data sheet.
8. Notices
RF Safety Note
This antenna should be mounted in such a way that no person is within 0.3m (1’) of the antenna during use.
DO NOT
• operate the transmitter when someone is within 0.3m (1’) of the antenna.
• operate the equipment in an explosive atmosphere.
• attempt to install the antennas without the proper safe equipment to access the install location.
• install the antenna near power lines.
• chew parts or put them in mouth, keep away from unsupervised children.
• install the antenna in such a way that it may fall and cause injury.
