XPOL-1-5G is a unique window, wall or pole
mountable, high gain, CPE antenna. It can be
mounted outdoors on a pole of up to 50mm in
diameter, against a window or against a wall.
Follow the instructions below for installation.
Mounting Configurations:
1. Wall Mounting
•Select a suitable place for mounting the
antenna.
•Use a 6mm masonry drill bit to drill four holes
into the wall. See the dimensions below.
•Place the bracket over the four holes and line
up the holes in the bracket with the holes in
the wall. Insert the four knock-in screws to
mount the bracket to the wall.

2. Window Mounting
•Select a suitable mounting place for
mounting the antenna.
•Clean the selected area to remove the dirt.
•Place each of the four suckers through the
holes in the bracket.
•Insert the sucker pins from the front of the
bracket into the hole in the four suckers.
•Carefully press the antenna suckers against
a window, taking caution not to damage or
break the window.

3. Pole Mounting
•Lay the antenna out at the installation site
and assemble the antenna on the ground.
•Place the pipe clamp through the bracket as
shown below.
•Place the cable clamp around the pole and
tighten the screw on the cable clamp until the
bracket is secured to the pole.
•Mount the antenna so that there is at least 1
meter of clearance in all directions around it
and unobstructed line of sight to the cell
tower’s strongest signal.

•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 flammable gases.
•If the antenna is mounted on a pole,
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 connectors with insulation tape
before threading them through a hole.

•Connect Cell 1(Main) cable to the
respective Cell 1(Main) connector of the
router. Similarly, connect Cell 2(Main)
cable to the respective Cell 2 (Main)
connector of the router.
•Connect Cell 1 (Aux/Div) cable to the
respective Cell 1 (Aux/Div) connector of the
router. Similarly, Connect Cell 2(Aux/
Div) cable to the respective Cell

2(Aux/Div) connector of the router.
In case of a 2-port LTE router, use one of the
antenna diversity cable pairs. Use either
Cell 1 (Main) & Cell 1 (Aux/Div) cables
or Cell 2 (Main) & Cell 2 (Aux/Div) cables.
Incase of two routers that have two LTE
ports each, you can split the
antenna diversity cable pairs such that
one router is connected to Cell 1 (Main)
& Cell 1 (Aux/Div) cables and the
other router is connected to Cell 2
(Main) & Cell 2 (Aux/Div) cables.
Note:
-Cell 1 Main and Cell 2 Main cables are
connected to the horizontal elements.
-Cell 1 Aux/Div and Cell 2 Aux/Div cables
are connected to the vertical elements.
•If you are installing an antenna for the first
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
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

5. Make sure that any loose-fitting
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.
•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 fingers 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
(Specific Absorption Rate) RF Exposure
requirements.
