Assemble the Cables
The following steps explain how to weatherproof the RJ45 connectors:
1. Slide the sealing nut (E) over the bare end of the Cat5e/Cat6 cable.
2. Slide the tube-shaped compression washer (C) into the compression ring (D) and onto
the Cat5e/Cat6 cable.
3. Insert the flat washer (A) into the connector body (B) to make it waterproof and screw
the connector body into the Ethernet connector hole.
4. Terminate the RJ45 connectors to both ends of the Cat5e/Cat6 cable and test for
proper wiring (cable should be a straight-through cable).
5. Slide the Cat5e/Cat6 cable through the Ethernet connector body (B) in to the Ethernet
jack inside the enclosure. The cable connector should latch into the jack.
6. Thread the sealing nut (E) onto the connector body (B) and hand tighten it to make a
waterproof compression around the cable.
7. Open the notch on both sides of the toroid and fix it on Ethernet Cat5e/Cat6 cable as
shown in the figure. Then, lock the notch of the Toroid by pressing it.
Note: The steps 1-6 apply for assembling the weatherproofing kit for Serial
cable. It is mandatory that both ethernet cables should be attached with
toroids that are provided in the product package.
Assemble the Mounting Hardware
Attach the mounting plate (A) using the provided screws and washers (Torque 9 N.m/75 in-
lbs), such that the unit's antenna will be vertically and horizontally polarized when
mounted. Attach the extension arm (B) to mounting piece (A) with the screw, nut, and
washers provided, as shown below. The extension arm gives the unit more possible tilt,
letting you adjust for azimuth or elevation over a larger angle. Attach the mounting bracket
(C) to extension arm (B) with the screw, nut, and washers provided. Tighten the assembly
(Torque 15 N• m/130 in-lbs). The last figure shows the full assembly attached to the unit.
Note: This figure is for illustration only. Units should be mounted in square
position with connectors facing downward.
Mount the Unit
1. To pole-mount the unit, insert the provided screws through bracket (F). Fasten around
the pole to bracket (C) and secure (Torque 11 N.m/100 in-lbs).
2. To wall-mount the unit, mount the bracket to a wall using 4 screws (not provided), as
shown below.
