Installation Instruction – SW3-627
W24-58-CP-9
Introduction
A.
The Panorama client patch antenna is a directional wall or
mast mounted antenna covering 2.4 & 5GHz for WIFI / WLAN
applications.
This antenna can be used for point to point or wide area
coverage applications as it has wide beam width in both azimuth
and elevation planes. Two or more of these antennas can be
used to provide MiMo function or for sectored operation.
The antenna is supplied with a 90 degree adjustable wall / mast
mount angle bracket to give optimal mounting flexibility.

Mounting requirements and selecting location
B.
Ensure that the selected mounting location can be safely accessed with the equipment that you have avail-
able and mount the antenna so that it has at least 300mm (12”) of clearance from all obstructions if possi-
ble.
The antenna can be mounted so as to acheive horizontal or vertical polarisation by following the orientation
arrows on the reverse of the antenna. For vertical polarisation when mounted externally the antenna should
always be mounted with the connector facing downwards.
The antenna can be mast mounted using a jubilee clip (not supplied)
The supplied mounting bracket allows for 90 degrees of orientation adjustment (45 degrees each way from
centre) assuming that the antenna is mounted to a flat wall.
For MiMo operation multiple antennas can be co-located. The optimal relative positioning is by vertical sepa-
ration an minimum distance of 150mm (6”).
Prepare and drill holes
C.
The antenna can be mounted via the supplied mounting bracket which features 4x 4.2mm (0.16”) holes to suit
4mm / (No.8) screws. The appropriate screw will depend upon the mounting surface. Before drilling ensure that
it is safe to drill into the mounting surface.
The supplied bracket can be disassembled and used as a template for drilling the holes.
Fitting the antenna
D.
Fully tighten the mounting hardware, ensuring the antenna direction is correct. The SMA connector joint
should be waterproofed with a weatherproof electrical tape (self amalgamating type is recommended) allow-
ing a significant overlap of each turn and ensuring that the overlap is in the opposite direction to predicted
water fall.
Routing and terminating coaxial cable(s)
E.
Route extension cable to equipment, taking care to avoid causing a hazard. Where the cable is routed into an
enclosure or building a ‘drip loop’ should be considered ahead of the entry point.
Commission and test
F.
Check comms cable(s):
• Carry out VSWR check, should measure <2.0:1.
European Waste Electronic Equipment Directive 2002/96/EC
Please ensure that your old Waste Electricals and Electronics are recycled do not throw them
away into standard waste.
RF Safety Note
This antenna should be mounted in such a way that no person is within 30cm (12”) of the
antenna during use.
Notices
G.
RoHS 2: EU RoHS compliance is declared per Directive 2011/65/EU and its subsequent amend-
ments. Homogeneous materials composing parts that are compliant with this legislation have less
than 0.1% by weight each of lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE, and 0.01% by
weight of cadmium. In situations where an exemption applies, the preceding limits, corresponding
to the exempted substance(s), may be higher.
