Lightning Protection
⚫To ensure proper protection from
lightning it is important than the
mounting mast is properly
grounded using earth strapping
and spikes into moist soil.
⚫Please note that this antenna
has an integrated DC short at
the bracket end, this ensures no
static buildup in the antenna and
also provides additional lightning
protection.
⚫To further reduce the risk a direct
lightning strikes to the antenna, a
horizontal pole can be mounted
approximately 500mm above the
antenna as shown in the figure.
⚫Further lightning protection can be
installed in line between the antenna
and the radio equipment.

Two U Bolt Mounting method:
⚫Assemble the bracketry on the mast
as shown in the exploded diagram
and tighten nuts finger tight.
⚫Align the antenna in the direction
of the base station, please bear in
mind the antenna has a beamwidth
of approximately 55 degrees.
⚫Fasten nuts on U bolts with 10mm
wrench/spanner,but do not overtighten.
⚫Be sure to provide strain release for the
cable by securing it the mounting
structure near the antenna using a
cable-tie (not provided).
Single U Bolt Mounting method:
⚫Assemble the bracketry on the mast as
shown in the exploded diagram and
tighten nuts finger tight.
⚫Align the antenna in the direction of the
base station in both vertical and horizontal
position.Please bear in mind that the
antenna has a beamwidth of approximately
55 degrees in the horizontal plane and 50
degrees in the vertical plane.
⚫Fasten nuts on U bolts with 10mm
wrench/spanner, but do not over tighten.
⚫Be sure to provide strain release for the cable
by securing it the mounting structure near the
antenna using a cable-tie (not provided).

⚫The single U bolt mounting allows
the antenna to be adjusted in the
vertical plane by approximately 26
degrees up and down from the.
horizontal position.
Operational lnstructions
⚫Connect an appropriate device or suitable cable extension to the
antenna via the SMA-connector on the end of the cable attached
to the antenna. Seal the connection with Self Amalgamating or
Butal Tape to ensure no water ingress.
⚫Final antenna alignment can be achieved by monitoring the
signal strength indicator of the communication device to which
the antenna is connected for maximum signal strength.
⚫The antenna is now ready for use.
