Antenna Installation Guidelines
When installing the antenna for the RADIO-900M, refer to the Installation Instructions provided
with the specific antenna in use and the type of mount to be used.
In addition, the following guidelines should be considered:
Connections between the antenna and coaxial cable should be properly taped to prevent
ingress of moisture.
Where antennas are mounted on elevated masts, the masts should be effectively earthed to
avoid lightning surges.
Refer to Section 9 for the Surge Protection Device installation instructions.
The RADIO-900M has two antenna connections at the top of the module, allowing two
antennas to be fitted to the unit. The left connector (looking at the front) labeled “RX” is
connected only to the internal wireless receiver. The right connector labeled TX/RX is
connected to both the transmitter and receiver. When only one antenna is used, it must be
connected to the TX/RX connector.
An RF Path Link Budget must be calculated by a qualified technician prior to
defining the following:
Location of the RADIO-900M
Antenna type and location
Length of cable run(s) and type of cable to be used
FCC WARNINGS
1. Modifications are not allowed to the RADIO-900M or support equipment.
2. Any modification to the RADIO-900M or the antenna
could void the User’s
authority to operate the equipment.
3. Antenna placement must be no less than 1 meter from any potential point of
human contact or exposure.
4. Unlicensed operation limits the radio power. High gain aerials may only be
used to compensate for cable losses.
