Hyperlink Proxim Stratum MP – Extended-Range Professional Antenna Systems

Mounting and Cabling the Amplified Antenna System:

Note: Different model antenna kits have different mounting requirements and

procedures. Refer to Appendix A in this manual for antenna mounting details.

1. Attach the mast mounting hardware to a solid structure on your building (e.g., the roof

itself, concrete bulkhead, vent pipe).

2. Using the included mounting hardware, secure the antenna to the top section of the

mast (see Appendix A for details) and similarly, install the amplifier directly beneath the

antenna using the included V-bolts.

3. Attach one end of the Antenna Cable to the connector labeled “TO DC INJECTOR”

on the amplifier. Connect the antenna to the connector labeled “TO ANTENNA” on the

amplifier. For HG2415YA and HG2424GA systems only: connect the Bandpass Filter

between the antenna and the “TO ANTENNA” port on the using the adapters included.

4. Wrap the entire connection with sealant tape, overlapping each layer slightly to

ensure a weather-tight seal.

5. Ground the antenna by connecting a suitable ground cable between the antenna

mounting bracket and the building ground.

6. Very carefully raise the mast and loosely secure it with the mast mounting hardware.

Use the plastic wire ties to tie the antenna cable to the mast every six to twelve inches.

7. Aim the directional antenna in the direction of the building you will be linked to. The

omni-directional antennas should be mounted vertically and do not need to be aimed as

they radiate in a 360 degree pattern.

8. Tighten the mast mounting screws. Do not do anything that would make it difficult to

change the position of the antenna. It may be necessary to reposition the antennas while

aiming them.

9. Route the antenna cable along the roof to the point where it enters the building.

From the inside, pull the cable through the hole and take up any excess slack.

10. The DC Power Injector and Power Supply must be installed indoors near the radio.

The Injector unit can be wall-mounted using the included bracket if desired. Attach the

end of the Antenna Cable to the “TO AMPLIFIER” connector on the DC Power

Injector/Lightning Protector. Attach the 0.5 meter adapter cable between the DC Power

Injector’s “TO RADIO” connector and the Proxim Stratum MP radio.

Attach a ground wire to the ground lug on the DC Power Injector/Lightning Protector and

to a good building ground.

First, plug the 12 VDC power supply into the DC Power injector and then into the

building’s AC power. Never use a power supply other than the one shipped with the

system as it may cause damage to the radio and/or amplifier. It is recommended that

the AC connections be made through a commercially available "surge" protector power

strip.
