External LTE Antenna Outdoor Installation
(TM)
The Parsec Labrador
American LTE bands with high efficiency. You can attach a Labrador indoor antenna to a sheetrock wall in an office
environment, which is optimal for indoor applications that require a higher performance alternative to screw-on
antennas. The Labrador antenna has an IP65 ingress protection rating and can be mounted outdoors.
This article provides instructions about how to install a Labrador antenna outdoors.
Installation Location
Position the antenna in an isolated area to get the maximum signal. The antenna must be away from any interference
from existing antennas, cluttered areas, or other situations that might interrupt the network.

Page 2: Tool Requirements
Use the following guidelines to determine where to install the antenna: • Ensure the antenna is at least 2 to 5 feet away from other antennas. • Antennas must be away from outlets, AC or heating units, or anything with an electrical motor because these things can cause radio interference and reduce antenna performance. - Page 3 Mount the Antenna to the Mast or Pole To mount the antenna to the mast or pole: 1. Mount the antenna on the pole leaving at least 1 inch of mast above the clamp, as shown in Figure 4. The diameter of the pole must be between 1 and 2.5 inches, as shown in Figure 5.
- Page 4 2. Tighten the two nuts and ensure that an equal length of threading extends past both nuts. 3. Use a 7/16 inch wrench to tighten each nut. Tighten to one full turn beyond finger tight to compress the lock washers. Figure 6: Tight the Nuts and Compress the Lock Washers Note: Ensure that the antenna is mounted in the correct direction and tighten the mounting hardware.
- Page 5 3. Attach the two RF cables to the mast at least 1 foot below the RF connectors to provide strain relief. 4. Use vinyl electrical tape for deforming the RF cables. You can also use black UV resistant zip-ties. Avoid using tan nylon zip-ties because they rapidly deteriorate when exposed to the sun.
- Page 6 3. Screw the N male connectors of the coaxial cable onto the N female connectors on the antenna. Caution: If the connectors do not screw on easily using only your fingers, then stop. The connector may be cross- threaded. Unscrew the connector and try again. Tighten the N connector firmly to compress the water-tight gasket inside the connector and to keep the connector from working loose.
