L[X]AM Series

SW3-704 - v3

1. Introduction

The L[X]AM antenna series is designed for M2M / IOT applications requiring MiMo / diversity support.

The antenna has a rugged, low profile housing with two elements supporting 4G/3G/2G and 3.5GHz 5G

bands and has integrated length RG174 coaxial cables. The LG version incorporates an active GPS/GNSS

antenna.

Electrical Safety Note

This product contains an active GPS/GNSS antenna. Rated voltage: 3-5VDC Rated current:

20mA maximum.

The supply to this device must be provided with over-current protection of 1A maximum.

2. Mounting requirements and selecting location

Select a mounting location. Ensure that there is adequate under panel clearance. Measure to check for

central position if applicable.

If the antenna will be co-located with other antennas or roof mounted equipment please try to ensure at

least 30cm (12") of clearance around the L[X]AM antenna in order to avoid de-tuning and interference

issues.

Ground plane requirement. This antenna range does not require a conductive ground plane in order to

operate. Performance will vary depending on whether a ground plane is present or not.

3. Prepare and drill hole

Mask panel area around hole position to protect finish. Drill a

pilot hole, and then increase to 19mm (3/4"), ensuring that drill/

cutter bit does not contact any parts under the panel. Clean area

around the hole, carefully removing an burrs and all swarf.

Page 2 4. Fitting the antenna It is recommended that the installation is carried out when the temperature is greater than 50°F (10°C) as the ideal temperature for the pad bonding is 70°F (21°C) to 100°F (37°C). Remove protective backing from underside of antenna, feed coaxial cables through panel. Position the antenna over the hole ensuring correct orientation and stick to panel by applying firm, even, downward pressure.
