TELEWAVE ANT900F2 Series User manual

FIBERGLASS COLLINEAR ANTENNA 2.5 dBd
ANT900F2
880 - 960 MHz
The Telewave Collinear line of antennas are rugged omnidirectional antennas
suited for most environments, see the exact model specifications below.
These antennas are constructed with brass and copper elements that are
soldered together; producing both a DC path to ground and preventing
internally produced intermodulation products. Telewave’s PIM-Rated
antennas are carefully built using specially treated materials and a
meticulous assembly process to achieve a -150 dBc PIM rating or better.
The “Cool Blue” fiberglass radome provides maximum protection from
corrosive gases, ultraviolet radiation, icing, acid rain, and wind-blown abrasives.
Intrusion and water protection is equivalent to an IP24 rating.
When ordering, specify all TX and RX frequencies that will be used on the
antenna. Telewave’s support can assist with any special mounting needs.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
FOR COLLINEAR ANTENNAS MODELS: F2
Figure 1: ANTC485 Clamp Kit
Clamp Kit Contents (Figure 1):
(2) Clamp Plates
(2) 3/8”-16 Stainless U-Bolts
(4) Hex Nuts
(4) Lock Washers
(1) Tube of Anti-Seize Compound
WARNING:
For your safety, do not install any antenna near power lines and
carefully follow all installation instructions. Always use safety devices for
tower climbing. Ensure that the tower structure is well grounded for
lightning protection.
If the antenna falls toward or contacts any overhead wires, IMMEDIATELY
LET GO and stay away. Contact the utility company for assistance.
IMPORTANT - BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND MOUNTING
Both clamps must be properly installed and spaced to prevent antenna rotation from
wind load. Make sure you have all parts ready prior to installation, see on the right.
F2-SERIES DIMENSIONS
Ferrule (L x D) in (cm): 11.5 x 2.75 (29.21 x 7)
Clamp Spacing (L) in (cm): 7.5 (19)
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. The welded mounting slots are intended to be placed against the support
structure when used with the supplied clamp set. When using any other clamp set,
the mounting slots should be turned to one side, out of contact with the
support.
2. Apply anti-seize compound to the ends of each u-bolt. Place a loosly assembled
clamp over the top of the mast. Feed the antenna base ferrule down through the
clamp until aligned with the upper attachment point. Tighten down the hex nuts
and straighten the antenna until clamped into a vertical position.
3. Attach and secure the lower antenna clamp with the supplied hex nuts and lock
washers, to provide reasonable pressure to the support structure and antenna base
ferrule.
4. Connect RF feed cable terminated with Type-N or 7-16 DIN as required to
antenna input connector. Secure all cables with UV-Resistant cable ties.
5. Be sure to properly seal the input connector with waterproof tape or other sealing
material. Refer to Telewave TWDS-0502 for a recommended method of connector
sealing.
