Calsense
Stubby Antenna
Calsense Stubby Antennas are omnidirectional surface-mount antennas designed for all environments
and applications (Figure 36
). The maximum cable length is dependent upon signal strength. Stubby
antennas come with their own cables; however, they may be extended with prior approval from
Calsense.
• The Calsense GPRS Stubby Antenna (model GR-STUBBY) is 3 dBi
• The Calsense Spread Spectrum Radio Stubby Antenna (model SR-STUBBY) is 3 dBi and is normally
used in situations with weak signal strength or where controllers require 3 antennas, such as a
local radio antenna, radio remote antenna, and spread spectrum radio antenna
Note: If ordered at the same time as the controller, the SSE-R and SSE-D-R Stainless Steel
Enclosures include the SR-STUBBY antenna if necessary.
• The Calsense Wireless Ethernet Stubby Antenna (model WEN-STUBBY) is 3dB-MEG
Note: LMR-195-DB cable, specified separately, is required if mounting a WEN-STUBBY antenna
outside of an enclosure.
Stick Antenna
Calsense Stick Antennas are fiberglass omnidirectional antennas used to extend the range of a radio
(Figure 37
).
Note: LMR-400-DB or LMR-600-DB cable, specified separately, is required if mounting a stick antenna.
The maximum length of LMR-400-DB cable is 100 feet. Longer distances may be available with prior
approval from Calsense.
• The Calsense GPRS Stick Antenna (model GR-STICK) is a dual-band antenna. For the 821-846
MHz range, the antenna is 0 dBi; for the 1850-1950 MHz range, the antenna operates at 3 dBi.
• The Calsense Local Radio Stick Antenna (model LR-STICK) is often recommended for use with a
local radio hub. This antenna is available in 0, 3, 5, and 7 dBi.
• The Calsense Spread Spectrum Radio Stick Antenna (model SR-STICK) is often recommended for
use with a spread spectrum hub. This antenna is available in 0, 3, and 6 dBi.
Yagi Antenna
Calsense Yagi Antennas are aluminum directional antennas typically used to extend the communications
range of a specific controller location (Figure 37
).
Note: LMR-400-DB or LMR-600-DB cable, specified separately, is required if mounting a yagi antenna.
The maximum length of LMR-400-DB cable is 100 feet. Longer distances may be available with prior
approval from Calsense.
• The Calsense Local Radio Yagi Antenna (model LR-YAGI) is 7.1 dBi
• The Calsense Spread Spectrum Radio Yagi Antenna (model SR-YAGI) is 6 dBi
Radio Remote Antenna
The Calsense Radio Remote Antenna (model RRe-ANT) is an omnidirectional PVC stick antenna.
Note: If no other antenna is ordered, this antenna is included with -RRe option at no additional charge.
Radio Remote Whip Antenna
The Calsense Radio Remote Whip Antenna (model RRe-WHIP) is an omnidirectional antenna used in
situations where the RRe antenna must be wall- or pole-mounted (Figure 37
). Using LMR-195-DB cable,
