QUICK INSTALL GUIDE Product ships with: • HP-TMA • Quick Install Guide • Smart Power Over Coax (SPOC) Injector • Power cable for SPOC Additional Items required: • 802.11 a or b/g radio • N-Male to Radio Antenna Port, Coax cable (See your radio manufacturer’s set-up guide for more information on the required connector for your Radio) to connect your radio to the SPOC •... - Page 4 Antenna Deployment The type of radiation pattern produced by the HP-TMA varies for the different models. Figure 2 shows where the HP-TMA should be mounted in the desired coverage area. OMNI SECTOR Mounting Direction for the HP-TMA Sector Antenna The HP-TMA Sector, TMA-5XSA-308T, is a directional antenna. You will need to be aware of the direction it is pointing when deployed.
- Page 5 QUICK INSTALL GUIDE Mounting the HP-TMA (Optional) NATO Mount (HDW-TMA-45NATO) Figure 4 The Tactical Mesh Antenna (HP-TMA) can be mounted directly to a vehicle using a standard 4.5” NATO mount hole pattern. 1. Use the two 1/4-20 by 1/2” screws to connect the NATO mounting plate to the HP-TMA 2.
- Page 6 Coax CABLE Information Cable Requirements The HP-TMA and SPOC injector requires a Coax cable with an Impedance of 50 Ohm and N-Male Connectors. Check with your radio manufacturer’s documentation for the coax cable and connector requirements for your radio. Connecting Coax CABLE 1.
- Page 7 QUICK INSTALL GUIDE SMART POC The SMART (Serially Manageable And Reporting TMA) SPOC Injector is intended to work with the various HP-TMA variations to allow for ease of installation and a simple method of determining if the system is operational. Powering the SMART POC 1.
- Page 8 Once the SPOC injector has been connected to the power source and all other cables are connected, power can now be applied. Other Power Connection Options • PWR-120V - 120V Power Supply for SPOC Injector • PWR-POE - 2’ cable with M12 to RJ45 coupler for connecting SPOC injector to POE source (Additional RJ45 cable and non-802.3af POE injector required)
- Page 9 QUICK INSTALL GUIDE SMART SPOC LED Indicator The SMART SPOC injector has a single multi color LED indicator, Figure 9, for determining operational status of the HP-TMA. Power Up LED Functionality • Red/Amber, flashing: During initial power up you will see Red/Amber flashing as the system confirms the presence of the HP- TMA.
- Page 10 Error Code LED Functionality • Red/Amber, flashing constantly: SPOC is powered but has no HP-TMA attached or is not communicating with the HP-TMA. –– Probable Cause: −−HP-TMA has been removed or damaged. −−Disconnected or bad coax. –– Corrective Action: −−Check for damage to the HP-TMA. −−Check coax for damage or loose connection.
- Page 11 QUICK INSTALL GUIDE Optimizing your Radio The HP-TMA operates best when the input power to the HP-TMA, from the radio, is between +10dBm to +20dBm. Radio power may need to be adjusted for optimal performance. Be sure to factor the dB loss for the SPOC and coax. The SPOC has approximately 1dB of loss.
