Note: If the antenna cable has the SMA connector, first
attach the SMA-to-TNC adaptor (ADS p/n 507173) to the
RADIO connector port on the monitor and then attach the
cable connector to the adaptor.
 Wrap rubber stretch tape around the entire cable
connection, extending onto the cable approximately 2
inches beyond the connection.
Mounting a Wireless Antenna on a Roof or Other
Protected Structure
This installation involves securing a wireless whip antenna with a
magnetic base (ADS p/n 3800-0127 for TNC connector; 3800-0128
for SMA connector) to a roof or other protected magnetic structure.
Roof or outdoor cabinet applications also require a lightning
protection device (ADS p/n 507180 SMA or ADS p/n 507179
TNC).
Mount the whip antenna as follows:
Warning: Never place a magnetic mount antenna on top
of or near a office or field (laptop) computer. The strong
magnet in the antenna base immediately will corrupt the
computer’s hard drive.
1. Identify an anchored or heavy steel surface at least 4 inches by
4 inches to serve as the grounding plate. Do not consider using
a manhole cover as a grounding plate to secure the antenna
unless it exists in a remote or fenced location.
Note: If the appropriate location for mounting the
antenna is a manhole cover, do not run the antenna cable
through a hole in the cover to avoid damage when
removing the cover.
2. If the whip antenna is not attached to the magnetic base, screw
the antenna onto the base using any sealing washers or o-rings
included in the packaging.
