Mounting Hardware Assembly for P5055M‐EXT‐xx
Connecting External Antenna on EXT Model
The P5055‐EXT‐xx is equipped with two reverse‐polarity SMA connectors on the top for attachment to an external
antenna. Each SMA connector is labeled with either "V" for Vertical or "H" for Horizontal polarization. Connect each
cable to the appropriate "H" and "V" ports on both the antenna and the radio.
Weatherizing
It is important to properly seal each antenna connection to protect against moisture and corrosion. Each TrangoLINK‐45 radio
is shipped with a packet of Coax‐Seal c onnector sealant which should be applied over each of the SMA connectors. Coax‐
Seal is a gum‐like tape which is applied by wrapping around the connector and then compressed/molded to form a
single cohesive protective covering over the connector.
NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE COAXSEAL IS OVERLAPPING THE CASE TO PREVENT WATER FROM COLLECTING IN
THE RECESSED AREA OF THE CONNECTOR
To properly apply the Coax‐Seal product first wrap the connector/case as shown:
Secondly, compress the Coax‐Seal product to mold into a single protective covering:
