Panorama Antennas CMWB2-038-6-NJ User manual

CMWB2-038-6-NJ
1. Introducon
The CMWB2-038-6-NJ is an ultra-wideband low PIM ceiling mounted antenna covering
380MHz 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 N connector mounng bush or ulising oponal addional screw xings concealed
beneath the antenna’s removable snap t caps.
2. Select a suitable mounng locaon
The antenna is omni-direconal and should be mounted as centrally as possible within
the desired coverage area. The roof space should be accessible at this locaon to
permit roung of cables to the radio.
Select a at, level locaon on the desired ceiling which is free from obstrucons and
not too close to other ceiling mounted items - consider downward projecon of
antenna and any height clearance issues with low ceilings.
Take care to avoid mounng the antenna in close proximity to metal ceiling furniture
such as girders, joists and air condioning units as these objects may aect the
antenna’s performance.
3. Mount the antenna
If the ceiling is constructed with removable ceiling les, it may be best to remove the
le, mount the antenna, and then re-t.
Remove the thumbscrew nut from the N type connector and set aside.
If the mounng hole caps are ed and use of those holes is required by the
installaon the caps should be carefully extracted and set aside.
Mark the posion of the mounng holes & RF connector and drill appropriate holes.
Alternavely if mounng to an appropriate material self tapping screws can be used.
Screws should be M6 or 1/4 inch pan head screws of an appropriate length for the
installaon.
Mount the antenna base plate on the ceiling le and replace the thumbscrew nut
ghtening it rmly. Ulise M6 or 1/4 inch screws to secure the installaon if required.
Replace the snap t mounng hole caps.
4 Route and terminate the coaxial cable
Route the coaxial cable from the radio or combiner to the mounng locaon, taking
care to avoid running it adjacent to exisng wiring or ceiling furniture. Next t a
suitable male N-type coaxial connector or adaptor (as applicable) to the cable and
connect the cable to the antenna. For a low PIM installaon suitable low PIM cables
and connectors should be used. When connecng the N male connector to the N
female bulkhead located on the antenna the recommended torque is 100 Ncm.
5 Commission and test
Using a suitable antenna analyser, carry out a VSWR test in each freq. band. A VSWR of
<3:1 should be achieved at 380-400MHz UHF and a VSWR of < 2:1 should be achieved
across all other bands.
