Extender Installation Overview
The final guidelines provided by the utility or municipality determine where the Extender can be
installed. It is the installer's responsibility to know and follow the utility or municipality guidelines
before installing the Extender.
The utility provides installation information for every Extender to be installed, such as:
•

Power Requirements
Verify that the power source between 120 VAC and 240 VAC. Power source must have a constant
supply of voltage.
NOTE: Poles selected for Extender installation must have a constant supply of voltage. Many
streetlights are fed by a switched source that is controlled by a master switch, elsewhere. A pole
that is powered only half a day, everyday will produce a failure condition.
Antenna
The Extender requires an antenna to communicate with the endpoints and to relay information from
the endpoint to the host application. The antenna is mounted directly to the top of the Extender
enclosure by means of an N-type connector. Only the authorized antenna (provided with the
Extender) may be used. The Extender may be orientated with the antenna either up or down to obtain
the best communication path for your location.
NOTE: If the Extender is mounted upside down (antenna up), always inspect and verify the
presence of an O-ring on the antenna base. The O-ring is included with the antenna. Verify that the
O-ring has no physical deformities that could compromise the water tight seal at the base of the
antenna.
