1. Introduction
This document is a guideline for installation of WMM[X]9G range of directional MiMo antennas onto a
mast or rail. This document should be utilised as advice in the context of a well-planned installation. The
WMM[X]9G comes in a variety of configurations and consists of both horizontally and vertically polarised
elements. Note that the polarisation of these elements is refenced to a standard pole mounting
configuration and will change if the antenna is mounted in an alternate mounting configuration. The label
on the rear of the antennas denotes the elements by position as A, B,C and D. In a standard orientation
where element A is topmost then elements A and C are horizontally polarised and elements B and D are
vertically polarised. The antenna has a nominal E and H-Plane beamwidth of 60 degrees. The antenna
is supplied with a clamp bracket cable of adjustment and suitable for fitment to a pole or rail between
25-50mm (1 - 2") diameter.
2. Mounting Requirements and Selecting Location
Select a suitable mounting location for the antenna ensuring that it can be safely accessed with the
equipment available. The antenna must not be installed near to powerlines. If mounted externally in a
very elevated location or above the roofline it may be prudent to consider fitting surge protectors to the
coaxial cables ensuring that they are properly earthed in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions.
When selecting a mounting location care should be taken to ensure that at least 0.3m (1') of separation
is maintained between the antenna and nearby metal objects and surfaces. Ensure that the selected
location will enable the coaxial cable to be easily routed to the equipment while respecting the bend
radius of any coaxial cable used.
The antenna should be mounted to a suitable pole or rail (25-50mm (1 - 2") diameter) positioned to allow
the antenna to cover the desired area. The antenna bracket allows approx 30 degrees of adjustment
from the centre line in either the horizontal or vertical axis depending on how it is mounted.
3. Antenna Mounting
Check that you have the required mounting hardware and equipment available. The antenna bracket
can be mounted to the antenna and the antenna mounted to the mounting rail / pole in a number of
orientations. Select the correct orientation for the installation and fit the angle bracket to the antenna
using the supplied M6x1 screws and washers.The U-bolt mounting assembly can then be fitted to the
angle bracket and tightened onto the mounting pole / rail. Once almost tight the antenna can be
orientated to face in the desired direction and the u-bolt assembly fully tightened. Do not overtighten
the assembly.
