Wiring And Connections; Module Communication Connections - Campbell CELL200 Series Product Manual

When installing outdoor antennas such as this one, surge suppression hardware is
required. Contact Campbell Scientific for more information.

NOTE:
For most installations, the ANT-RV50(X)/CELL220-ENC-0.6M will be the simpler
option.
NOTE:
When antennas are located away from the CELL200 series, keep the cables as short as
possible to prevent the loss of antenna gain. Route the cables to protect them from damage
and so they will not be snagged or pulled on. Avoid binding or sharp corners in the cable
routing. Bundle and tie off excess cable. Make sure the cables are secured so their weight will
not loosen the connector from the CELL200 series over time.
TIP:
Cellular phone apps, such as OpenSignal (https://opensignal.com/), show the direction to
point an antenna to get the best signal strength.
