carefully before attempting to install and use this
product.

SAFETY

The S24512BPX and all associated equipment should
be installed in accordance with applicable local and
national electrical code guidelines to ensure safe
operation.

LOCATION

For best results, mount the S24512BPX at ceiling or
roof level near the center of the coverage area. A line-
of-sight path between the antenna and active floor
location generally works best. Although 2.4 GHz signals
penetrate cubical dividers and interior partitions with little
attenuation, reinforced block walls, banks of metal
cabinets, or steel shelving may attenuate signals or
cause multipath, a condition where reflected signals
interfere with the primary signal. Avoid mounting next
to a column or vertical support that could create a shadow
zone of reduced coverage to one portion of the room.
Each antenna comes with a ceiling-tile support-runner
mount and a U-bolt style pole mount.

APPLICATIONS

Laird Technologies' S24512BPX is a ruggedized
high- performance omnidirectional collinear antenna
used for 2.4 and 5.5 GHz RF-distribution systems.
Its flattened radiation pattern focuses energy along
the horizontalplane to provide extended coverage
in large rooms or vaulted areas (see Figure-1).
The S24512BPX may also be pole-mounted for
use in exterior locations.
