Mini-wing antenna
The mini-wing antenna can be attached to an interior wall or to a window for a longer term deployment or the
antenna can be attached to a manhole lid for a short term deployment.
Required tools:
•
Large nylon Ty-wrap cable ties
1.
Unpack the antenna (
Figure 6
).
2.
To attach the antenna to a window or a wall, remove the adhesive backing and push the antenna to a clean
surface.
3.
To attach the antenna to a manhole, make sure that the manhole lid has a hole large enough for the antenna
connector to fit into.
Note: Do not use the pick hole. Use a drill, motor oil for lubrication and increasing size drill bits to drill the 1" hole if
needed. Make sure that the location of the hole does not coincide with the ribs on the underside of the manhole lid.
4.
Remove the manhole lid and put the lid in a stable position where the lid top and bottom are accessible.
5.
Put the antenna cable through a hole on the manhole lid and put the antenna against the top of the manhole
lid.
6.
Attach the antenna to the manhole lid with heavy tape or tar tape.
7.
Connect the antenna cable to the instrument connector labeled "Antenna". To make sure proper transmission,
hand-tighten the connections.
8.
Attach any excess cable to the access ladder or another non-obstructing location with Ty-wrap cable ties.
9.
Replace the manhole lid.
