System Requirements This antenna is designed for use with Cisco Aironet access points and bridges but can be used with any 2.4-GHz Cisco Aironet radio device that uses an RP-TNC connector. Safety Precautions Warning In order to comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, antennas should be located at a minimum of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the body of all persons. Statement 332 Each year hundreds of people are killed or injured when attempting to install an antenna.

Installation Notes General Installation Instructions for Mast-Mounted Antennas The following instructions are common to most mast-mounted installations. Step 1 Assemble your new antenna on the ground at the installation site. Step 2 Attach the antenna to the mast and connect its coaxial cable while you are on the ground. Step 3 If you lose control of the mast while raising it, make sure that it does not fall in the wrong direction.

Step 7 Install a lightning arrestor. Step 8 Connect the lead-in cable to the equipment. Choosing a Mounting Location The antenna is designed to create a directional broadcast pattern. To achieve this pattern, the antenna should be mounted clear of any obstructions to the sides of the radiating element. If the mounting location is on the side of a building or tower, the antenna pattern is degraded on the building or tower side.

Note The antenna can also be mounted on a wall or other flat vertical surface. Mounting hardware is not provided. The following section contains a typical procedure for installing the antenna on a mast. Your installation may vary. Before you begin, you may want to refer to Figure 1. Mounting the Antenna Figure 1 shows how the antenna should be mounted on a mast.

Mounting on a Mast Follow these instructions to mount the antenna on a mast. Step 1 Remove the bag of hardware from the shipping carton and verify that it contains the following hardware: a. Two V blocks b. Two U bolts c. Four 5/16-18 hex nuts d. Four flat washers e. Four spring lock washers f. One piece of sealant wrap Step 2 Place a U bolt around the mast and place a V block on the U bolt. Step 3 Place the holes in the top flange of the antenna on the U bolt. a.

Note The antenna is DC grounded. However, Cisco recommends that you install lightning-protection devices in your system. See the Installation Instructions for Cisco Aironet Lightning Arrestors. This document is available on the World Wide Web at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps469/prod_installation_guide09186a 008007f86e.html Changing the Polarization You can change the antenna polarization to horizontal or vertical. The antenna ships in the verticalpolarization.

Step 5 Position the antenna and antenna mounting plate over the holes. Step 6 Start the fasteners into the holes. Step 7 Use a suitable wrench to secure the assembly to the surface and tighten the fasteners. Do not overtighten. Step 8 Apply the danger label to a plainly visible area adjacent to the antenna. Note The antenna is DC grounded. It is recommended that you install lightning-protection devices in your system. See the Installation Instructions for Cisco Aironet Lightning Arrestors.
