L[G]M[H]M-6-60[-24-58] SERIES
SW3-919 - v1.0

INTRODUCTION
The Panorama Antennas L[G]MM ‘Great White’ series is trusted around the world
to offer best in class class LTE performance. The L[G]M[H]M-6-60[-24-58] series
offers a comprehensive range of antennas for vehicular applications requiring
MiMo function for 4G/5G. The antenna range offers a robust, low profi le housing
incorporating two ultra-wideband cellular elements supporting 4G and 5G bands,
with fall back capability to 3G/2G.
Versions of the antenna are available with additional 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 and 6x6 MiMo
function for dual band WiFi and the LG version incorporates an active GNSS antenna
suitable for use with GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo devices.
Please ensure that you have the correct version before you commence installation.
Electrical Safety Note
The LG version of this product contains an active GNSS antenna (part number SR8-
JG26NS). Rated voltage: 3-5VDC Rated current: 25mA maximum
The supply to this device must be provided with overcurrent protection of
1A maximum.
MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS AND SELECTING LOCATION
This antenna range does not require a ground plane in order to operate, so may be
fi tted on a metal or plastic roof panel.
When the antenna is to be co-located with other antennas or roof mounted equipment,
try to achieve a minimum of 30cm (12”) clearance around the L[G]MM antenna in
order to avoid de-tuning and interference issues.
The antenna will fi t on a panel up to 7mm (0.28in) thick – extender kit M18-EXT is
available for thicker panels. For the mounting location, select a fl at panel area to
accommodate the 17cm (6.7in) diameter footprint of the antenna. For curved or
ribbed roof panels, fi tting kit LGMM-EXT-R is available as an accessory item. For
temporary magnetic fi tment the magnetic base SAB-225 is a suitable accessory.
Ensure that there is adequate under panel clearance and that there is no double skin
panel or cross brace present. Measure to check for central position if applicable.

PREPARE AND DRILL HOLE
Mask the panel area around the hole position to protect the paintwork and headliner.
Drill a pilot hole, and then either use a hole cutter of correct size or increase the
hole diameter to 19mm (3/4”), ensuring that drill/cutter bit does not contact the
internal headliner. Clean area around the hole, carefully removing all swarf. Apply
some petroleum jelly or paint around the hole to prevent corrosion
FITTING THE ANTENNA
Note: The adhesive pad provides the sealing function of the antenna to mounting
panel. The temperature range for optimum pad bonding process is 21°C (70°F)
to 37°C (100°F) - it is recommended that the installation is not carried out in
temperatures of less than 50°F (10°C).
Remove the protective backing from the underside of the antenna and feed the
coaxial cables through the panel. Position the antenna over the hole ensuring correct
orientation and stick the antenna to the panel by applying fi rm downward pressure.
Caution – A slotted/split nut is provided in order to simplify fi tting it over the coaxial
cables. When fi tting the nut, it is important to ensure that the cables are held centrally
whilst the nut is correctly started on the threads.
The nut should fi t freely by hand and only require a fi nal tighten by spanner.
Assemble the nut and washer from underside and tighten to recommended torque of
5Nm (3.6 ft/lbs). Ensure that the sealing boot is properly compressed.
ROUTING AND TERMINATING COAXIAL CABLE(S)
Connect the extension coaxial cables to the antenna and route the cables to the
radio equipment.
When routing the cables take care to avoid running them adjacent
to any existing vehicle wiring or fouling any moving vehicle
components. The cables must not be routed in front of any airbag
device.
Fit the correct coaxial connectors or adapters to the cables as required.
COMMISSION AND TEST
Check the GNSS cable (if applicable):
• Check the GNSS cable with DC to measure high resistance.
• Connect the GNSS cable to the GNSS receiver and check for satellite
acquisition.
Check the comms cables:
• Earth continuity: connector body to vehicle ground should measure
<0.2Ω (where applicable).
• Connector body to centre pin should measure low resistance (elements
are DC grounded).
• Carry out VSWR check - the VSWR on all feeds should meet the
specifi cation in product data sheet.
• Connect the Cellular/LTE and WiFi cables (if applicable) or secure unused
pigtails.

RF Safety Note – Ensure that the antenna is mounted in such a way that
no person is likely to be within a distance of 30cms (12”) from the antenna
during use. Ensure that the antenna is used only as supplied the co-axial
cables should not be cut shorter or otherwise modifi ed.
General Safety Note - Make sure that the product is mounted so that
it cannot fall and cause injury. Do not chew the product or put it in your
mouth. Do not leave children unsupervised with the product or packaging.
