Product Code: L-AN400
Description: Outdoor Whip for 433 MHz
The Wavetrend Outdoor Wall mount whip antenna has a 3 dBi gain
and operates at 433 MHz. It has been designed for optimal RF
receiving performance with the Wavetrend reader range.
Features
The L-AN400 whip antenna has been designed for wall mounting
purposes. The reception characteristic is Omni-Directional and for
optimal performance it should be mounted as high as practically
possible and facing the tags in its environment.
The antenna is supplied with a 5-meter length of coax cable
terminated with a BNC(M) connector. The coax cable is integrated
directly into the antenna.
A plastic mould that is UV resistant and can be used outdoors supports the antenna.
Applications
Applications of this antenna are best suited to where an omni directional RF reception field is required: i.e. Fleet management,
Vehicle yard management, Parking control systems, Container monitoring, etc.
Assembly Instructions
Insert the whip into the metal adapter and fasten the grub screw with the allen-key supplied. Mount antenna vertically onto
surface. Secure the coaxial cable using staples or cable clips.
Notes
The whip adapter is an integral part of the antenna and is not removable. Damage will be caused by attempting to remove it and
will invalidate any potential guarantee claim.
A DC continuity check from inner to outer of the COAX connector will indicate an open circuit on a correctly functioning antenna
