Mast mount: The benefit of the mast-mount antenna is its rigid
design and resistance to displacement when subjected to shock,
vibration, wind, etc. It can be easily mounted high above the
ground to obtain greater RF signal performance and it withstands
winds up to 100 mph.
Catalog listing: WAN06RNJ
Mast-mount bracket (Included with the 8 dBi antenna): Attach
antenna to its mounting bracket. Tighten nut. Assemble two
U-clamps around mast and tighten nuts. Ensure provided lock
washers are compressed to a flat condition.

Magnetic mount: The benefit of the magnetic-mount antenna is
its ability to mount on any ferrous-metal surface and in various
orientations. A smooth metal surface is preferred to allow the
best attraction of the magnet to the surface. First, determine if the
magnetic attraction is sufficient to hold the antenna in the desired
position (i.e., shock, vibration, etc. in the application). Placing the
antenna in a location where it cannot be inadvertently displaced
may help.
Catalog listings: WAMM100RSP-005 & WAMM100RSP-010:
These magnetic-mount bases are not designed for mobile appli-
cations.
Catalog listings: WAN09RSP & WAN10RSP: These magnet-
ic-mount antennas are designed for mobile applications and can
withstand winds at >150 mph.

Thru-hole mount: The benefit of the thru-hole mount antenna is
it allows the cable to run “thru” the mounting surface. There is
also an adhesive material between the antenna housing and the
mounting surface for seal protection. This is a very low profile,
rugged design [approximately 30 mm (1.18 in) height] when
mounted and can also can be used in mobile applications.

8.5.4 | Antenna Adjustment Considerations
The antennas of the Limitless™ input and WMPR receiver should
be oriented in parallel as best as possible. This will, in most
cases, allow the longest range and highest RF signal. The least
RF signal is normally in-line with the top of the antenna, so avoid
having the antennas pointed directly toward or directly away from
each other.
