Panorama Antennas LPA-7-42 Series Installation Instructions page 2

4. Adhesive mounting (LPA-7-42 variant)
When using the screw positions (Fig 3.), drill two pilot holes to suit No.8
(4.2mm) screws. The antenna can be used as a drilling template.
Make sure that the selected mounting surface is clean and dry. De-
grease suface with 70% isopropyl alcohol (allowing time to dry) if
required. Remove protective backing from supplied adhesive pad and
adhere to underside of antenna, position the antenna over desired
location, remove remaining protective backing and stick to panel by
applying fi rm downward pressure.
If also using the mounting screws, ensure that the supplied sealing
washers are positioned in the hole recesses before inserting the screws.
Do not over-tighten the screws as this may damage the antenna hous-
ing.
5. Pole / mast mounting (LPA-7-42 variant)
The antenna can be mounted to poles up to 25mm (1") diameter using
the supplied cable ties (Fig 4.). First feed the cable ties through the slots
in the screw mounting recesses. Next position the antenna in the de-
sired location on the pole with the cable exiting downwards, engage and
pull the cable ties tight. It may be advisable to take additional measures
to ensure that the antenna cannot slide down the pole.
If alternative cable ties are used to secure the antenna, then please
ensure that they are made of UV resistant material.
6. Routing and terminating coaxial cables
Route the coaxial cable to the equipment, ensuring that the cable is se-
cured and protected from subsequent damage during access. The cable
should be routed observing the minimum bend radius of 13mm (1/2").
If cable ties are used, they should not be overtightened, as this could
distort the cable profi le and aff ect the antenna performance.
7. Commission and test
● Check the VSWR measures as per specifi cations on relevant datasheet.
8. Notices
DO NOT
• operate the equipment in an explosive atmosphere.
• attempt to install the antennas without the proper safe equipment to access the install location.
• install the antenna in such a way that it may fall and cause injury.
• chew parts or put them in mouth, keep away from unsupervised children.
