WARNING: Before performing any of the following steps, ensure there are no power lines
within 50 feet of the installation site. If a mast should fall during installation or during operation,
contact with any power line may result in fire and can be fatal.
WARNING PATCH & OMNI ANTENNAS: The Teletronics Extended Range Amplified WLAN
Systems are designed for antenna mounting in open areas such as on rooftops or building interior or
exterior walls. The antenna should be installed with at least 20 centimeters clearance from areas
generally occupied by people over an extended period of time (>30 minutes).
WARNING DISH & GRID ANTENNAS: The Teletronics Extended Range Amplified WLAN
Systems are designed for antenna mounting in open areas such as on rooftops or building exterior
walls. The antenna should be installed with at least 2 meters clearance from areas generally occupied
by people over an extended period of time (>30 minutes).
WARNING: Never use a power supply other than the one shipped with the system. Doing so
may cause damage to the radio and/or the amplifier.
4.1.6 Cisco Aironet Programming and Settings
The Cisco Aironet radio device should be verified or configured for its designated output power setting
prior to fix mounting the Cisco radio unit and main amplifier unit to a fixed site antenna mast.
4.1.7 Antenna Installation
Detailing a specific fixed site mast mount antenna installation procedure is beyond the scope of this
installation guide as the WLAN system installation can vary from site to site. The wireless system
installer should be fully knowledgeable of the installation procedures, safety, and code requirements for
installing the particular fixed site WLAN system antenna, antenna mast assembly, antenna cabling and
grounding requirements for an installation. Teletronics highly recommends that the Extended Range
Amplified WLAN System be installed only by a qualified antenna installation professional that is familiar
with vehicular fixed site WLAN system installations. The antennas contained within each Extended
Range Amplified WLAN System are designed for mounting on the appropriate kit platform. Each
extended range WLAN system includes the necessary antenna hardware pertinent for mounting the
antenna on the platform designated by the kit type. However, additional necessary site-specific antenna
mast/tower assemblies, guide lines, grounding wire/kits, cable ties, etc. are not provided within the
Extended Range Amplified WLAN system; and therefore, these items as necessary for a particular
installation will need to be provided by the WLAN system installer.
4.2 Installing the Extended Range (Amplified) WLAN System
Different model extended range amplified WLAN systems for fixed platform sites will have different
mounting requirements and different installation mechanics/procedures based upon the building/site
facilities. The following instructions provide for a generalized procedure for installing and cabling the
fixed site extended range WLAN system.
