Installation Instructions
CM-7-60
SW3-769 - v4
1. Introduction
The CM-7-60-NJ is an ultra-wideband low PIM ceiling mounted antenna covering 698MHz to 6GHz. The antenna features an integrated groundplane and
can be mounted on metallic or non-metallic ceilings. The antenna can be mounted by way of its central bush (CM-7-60-NJ) or utilising optional additional
screw fixings concealed beneath the antenna’s removable valance.
2. Select a Suitable Mounting Location
The antenna is omni-directional and should be mounted as centrally as possible within the desired coverage area. The roof space should be accessible at
this location to permit routing of cables to the radio.
Select a at level location on the desired ceiling which is free from obstructions and not too close to other ceiling mounted items - consider downward
projection of antenna and any height clearance issues with low ceilings.
Take care to avoid mounting the antenna in close proximity to metal ceiling furniture such as girders, joists and air conditioning units as these objects may
affect the antenna’s performance.
3. Mount the antenna
If the ceiling is constructed with removable ceiling tiles, it may be best to remove the tile, mount the antenna, and then re-t.
Rotate and remove the antenna’s outer plastic valance cover from the central cover to expose the antenna base plate and mounting holes (Fig 1).
Mark the position of the mounting holes & RF connector, using the base as a template.
Drill the holes for the mounting screws and RF connector. Alternatively if mounting to an appropriate material self tapping screws can be used. Screws
should be countersunk to avoid interference with the antenna valance.
Remove the thumbscrew nut, mount the antenna base plate on the ceiling tile and replace the thumbscrew nut tightening it rmly. (Fig 2) Utilise counter-
sunk screws (Fig 2) to secure the installation. Replace and rotate the outer antenna valance cover back into place.

4. Route & Terminate the Coaxial Cable
Route the coaxial cable from the radio or combiner to the mounting location, taking care to avoid running it adjacent to exising wiring or ceiling furniture.
For CM-7-60-NJ a suitable male coaxial connector or adaptor (as applicable) to the cable and connect the cable to the antenna. For a low PIM installation
a suitable low PIM cable and connector assembly should be used. For the CM-7-60-NJ when connecting the N male connector to the N female bulkhead
located on the antenna the recommended torque is 100 Ncm. For the CM-7-60-4310 the recommended torque connector joint is 5Nm.
5. Commission & Test
Using a suitable antenna analyser, carry out a VSWR test in each freq. band.
A VSWR of <2.5:1 in the relevant bands should be achieved.
6. Important Safety Notices

RF Safety Note
For deployments using hight power- the proximity of professionals and members of the public during use should be taken into account
when determining output power, Expert advice may be required to comply with local laws.
