Top Signal TS526010 User manual

Installation tip:
We strongly recommend that
you do a “soft installation”
before permanently mounting
the antennas and
pulling cables.
Lay out and connect all the
components inside your ship,
then sail to an area with weak
cell signal. Power up
the booster and check the
signal you receive from the
inside antennas. Compare your
internet data speeds with the
booster off and the booster on.

There are four main components to install in your boat:
The RFI marine antenna with ferrule and attached coax cable
(Instructions for the Poynting OMNI-493 antenna are on the next page.)
For best performance, the marine antenna should have as much vertical
separation from the inside antennas as possible.
Attach the ferrule
to a 1″ × 14 threaded marine mount
(like the Shakespeare 4187, 4190, 4365, or 4715).
Run the RG58 coax cable from the ferrule to the booster, securing the cable
to the mast, tower, or hull. Do not pinch, kink, loop, or coil the cable.
Use the FME-male/N-male adapter
to connect the end of the cable to the booster’s
ᴏᴜᴛᴅᴏᴏʀ port.
If you need to use a 400 coax cable extension to reach the booster,
the end-to-end connection will be:
❖Ferrule with RG58 cable
FME-male/N-female adapter →
400 coax cable
❖weBoost Office 200 booster
Always use the shortest run of cable possible from the antenna
to the booster.

Poynting OMNI-493 marine antenna
(See theOMNI-493 user guide for installation instructions.)
For best performance, the marine antenna should have as much vertical separation from
the inside antennas as possible.
Attach the large N-male connector on the TS-195 coax jumper cable →
to the threaded connector on the bottom of the antenna.
Punch out the exit hole on the side of the marine adapter bracket
and pull the small SMA-male connector on the other end of the jumper cable through the hole.
Secure the bracket to the bottom of the antenna. Attach the bracket to a 1″ × 14 threaded
marine mount (like the Shakespeare 4187, 4190, 4365, or 4715).
Using an SMA-female/N-female adapter,
connect the jumper cable to a run of 400 coax cable.
Run the 400 coax cable to the booster, securing the cable to the mast, tower, or hull.
Do not pinch, kink, loop, or coil the cable. Connect the cable to the booster’s ᴏᴜᴛᴅᴏᴏʀ port.
weBoost Office 200 booster
The booster must be placed where it has access to a 120-volt AC power outlet.
Attach it securely in an upright position using the mounting flanges on each corner.
(See pp. 9–15 of the weBoost Office 200 installation guide for power-up instructions.)
Inside coax cable
This system includes eight runs of varying lengths of 400 coax cable that connect the antennas
to the booster. It also includes six N-female/N-female barrel adapters →
that can attach any of the lengths to create a longer run.
Always use the shortest runs of cable possible from the antennas to the booster.
Do not pinch, kink, loop, or coil the cables.
Connect the cables to the 4-way splitter,
then use the 2-foot 400 coax jumper cable to
connect the splitter to the booster’s ɪɴᴅᴏᴏʀ port.

The Top Signal EDGE panel antenna
broadcasts in the direction its front
face is pointed. You can mount it to
walls or ceilings with the included
bracket and hardware or with
Command® Strips or similar adhesives.
It also stands upright on any flat surface.
The EDGE panel has a 13″ (33 cm) pigtail cable with
an N-female connector that attaches directly to the
N-male connector on a 400 coax cable.
The low-profile Poynting PUCK-1 mounts
to ceilings with the included magnetic base,
3M®adhesive pad, pole- or wall-mount
bracket, or spigot mounts. (See the PUCK-1
user guide for installation instructions.) It broadcasts
in a dome-shaped pattern.
The PUCK-1 has 6.6′ (2 m) of flexible RTK031
coax cable with a small SMA-male connector that
can be easily fed through openings between decks.
Connect it to 400 coax cable using
an SMA-female/N-female adapter. →
