Mounting
Note: During installation,
please be sure that the
cables are secure but do
not bear any additional
weight that could loosen
the connector from the
unit.
Note: A distance of at
least 20 cm between the
antenna and the user's
body must be maintained
at all times.
Rev 3.0 Feb.12
Your Raven XE should be mounted in a position that allows easy
access for the cables so they are not bent, constricted, in close
proximity to high amperage, or exposed to extreme temperatures.
The LEDs on the front panel should be visible for ease of operational
verification. You should ensure that there is adequate airflow around
the modem but that it is kept free from direct exposure to the
elements, such as sun, rain, dust, etc.
Caution:
The Raven XE is in a hardened case and designed for use in
industrial and extreme environments. However, unless you are using cables
expressly designed for such environments, they can fail if exposed to the
same conditions the Raven XE can withstand.

Antennas selected should not exceed a maximum gain of 5 dBi under
standard installation configuration. In more complex installations
(such as those requiring long lengths of cable and/or multiple
connections), it's imperative that the installer follow maximum dBi
gain guidelines in accordance with the radio communications
regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC),
Industry Canada, or your country's regulatory body (if used outside
the
US).
Your Raven XE will work with most PCS cellular antennas with an
SMA connector that works in the high and low frequencies of the
cellular technology of your modem. Connect the primary antenna or
primary RF cable directly to the antenna connector on the back of the
Raven
XE.
