MountingConguration

1. Pole Mounting
• Lay the antenna out at the installation site.
• Attach the cast U-shape bracket component
to the antenna by means of four M6 washers,
three M6 x16mm hex bolts and one M6x12mm
hex bolt-which goes into a point marked
earthing point.
• Use two M6 x 25mm hex bolts, two M6 nylock
nuts, two M6 washers to attach Cast-U-shape
and Cast square on two opposite ends of the
Cast connector rod.
• Attach the assembly to a mast (diameter
32 ~50mm) using the Cast square base, two
U-bolts, four washers and four M6 nuts.
• Point the antenna in the desired orientation
by swivel adjustment of azimuth and/or ele-
vation in two points.
• Do not overtighten the nuts/bolts onto the
bracket components in all places.
• Mount the antenna so that there is at least
1meter of clearance in all directions around
it and unobstructed line of sight to the cell
tower’s strongest signal.
• Earth the pole.
WLAN-0061 is a pole mountable dual band WiFi
antenna. It can be mounted outdoors on a
pole of up to 50mm in diameter or wall mount.
Follow the instructions below for installation.

2. Wall Mounting
• This antenna should be mounted on a wall
usingthewallplugsasshowninthegure
below
• Strain relieve the cable to the wall with
• saddles or cable tie to the closest structure.
• Connect the end of cable to radio device

Antenna Mounting Precautions
4
• Place the antenna at the highest point
possible and ensure that there aren’t
any surrounding obstructions to the
antenna.
• In order to avoid communication
interference, ensure that the antenna
is placed at least 0.5m away from other
antennas and metal objects.
• Avoid installing the antenna near
a chimney, as the smoke and soot
emitted by the chimney can obstruct
the signal level achieved by the
antenna.
• Install the antenna away from heat
sourcesandammablegases.
Cable Gland Preparation
6
1. Insert back housing over 2/3/4x
cable
2. Fit the rubber seal over cable by fitting the
cable through the slot.
3. Insert main body with black housing conical
seal, over cable
4. Push rubber seal into the housing main body
until flush.
5. Finally screw back housing on to main body
6. Terminate SMA(m) to SMA(f) located on the
antenna as required.

Cable Routing
4
• Avoid wrapping the cables around the
pole. Route the antenna cables straight
down the inside of the pole to avoid
using extra equipment such as cable
ties.
• Use the minimum cable length required.
Do not run more cable than needed
to ensure minimum cable losses are
achieved.
• Never pull on the cable connectors; pull
only on the cable ensuring the cable is
not under tension.
• The allowable cable bend radius is
30mm.
• Cover connector with insulation tape
before threading them through a hole.
• If the cable goes through the wall and
the entry is higher or above the antenna
connector – make sure the cable is
installed with a drip loop so that water
does not run down to the connector

Safety

• Ifyouareinstallinganantennafortherst
time or unsure about how to install your
antenna, obtain the help of a professional
installer.
• Carefully survey the installation site before
installation to locate secure handholds,
dangerous conditions (such as power
lines and weak roofs) and the safest and
most convenient placement for ladders if
necessary.
• When installing your antenna, remember:
1. Do not install near power lines as they
can electrocute you.
2. Do not install on a wet or windy day or
when lighting or thunder is in the area.
3. Wear shoes with rubber soles and heels
and protective clothing (long sleeve
shirt or jacket) and rubber gloves.
4. Avoid operating while under the
inuenceofdrugs,alcoholor
medication.
5. Makesurethatanyloosettingjewellery
or clothing is secured and tie back long
hair as they can get caught in moving
parts during installation.
6. If the antenna assemble starts to fall, get
away from it and let it fall to avoid harm
to yourself.
7. Earth all outside antenna mountings
such as the mounting pole and
brackets.

Safety
7
• When drilling, remember
1. Use safety goggles when drilling the
holes.
2. Avoid using bits that are dull, bent or
damaged.
3. Beawareofwhereyourngersarein
relation to the drill bit when using the
drilling machine.
4. To stop the drilling machine, let the drill
chuck come to a complete stop on
its own. Do not grasp the chuck in an
attempt to stop the drill bit.
5. Avoid awkward hand positions where
a sudden slip could cause a hand to
move into the drill bit or cutting tool.
CAUTION:
Antennas must be installed to provide
a separation distance of at least 20cm
from all persons so as to comply with SAR
(SpecicAbsorptionRate)RFExposure
requirements.
