5. Pole/Mast Mounting
In order to mount the antenna to a pole or mast you will need the following supplied parts:
1 x Antenna
2 x Washers
The u-bolt assembly allows fi tting to masts of between 20-50mm (0.8" – 2") diameter. Ensure that the selected mounting location can be safely
accessed with the equipment that you have available and mount the antenna so that it has at least 1 metre (3.3') of clearance from all obstruc-
tions if possible. The antenna must be mounted at the top of the pole so that the body of the antenna is elevated clear of the metal pole.
The supplied u-bolt bracket can then be used to clamp the antenna to the mast. The u-bolt plate should be held against the antenna and the
u-bolt passed through both the plate and antenna clamping the mast. The supplied nuts and washers can then be used to tighten the
assembly securely to the mast.
Caution: Do not over-tighten the u-bolt as this may damage or distort the mast tube section.

6. Routing Coaxial Cables
Plan the coaxial cable route to the wireless device to avoid running adjacent to any existing electrical wiring and ensuring that they will not be
subjected to damage.
Secure the cable run using correct size cable clips, so as not to distort/compress the cable. It is important that the cable is not bent sharply –
note that the minimum bend radius for the cable is 25mm (1") and this should be considered when routing to the cable entry point. Where the
antenna is installed externally, it is good practice to create a 'drip-loop' at the entry point to avoid water ingress. Any excess cable must not
be coiled - it should be laid out in a fi gure of eight pattern and loosely secured.
SMA (m) connectors are fi tted as standard. A 9mm (0.35") clearance hole is required for each connector – ensure it protected whilst feeding
through the hole to prevent damage or contamination. Other connector types are also available and may required a different size hole.
7. Commission and Test
● Carry out VSWR check on each cable feed, the VSWR should measure as per the data sheet.
● Connect the cables. to the 4G/5G device.
1 x U-Bolt
1 x U-Bolt Plate
2 x Spring Washers
2 x Nuts
