Raven X-HSPA Sierra Wireless Cellular Modem
8
x C2675 Raven Mounting Kit – includes mounting hardware for
securing the modem to below referenced environmental enclosure.
Raven X should be mounted in a position that allows easy access for
the cables so they are not bent, constricted
x Antenna – the following antennas are available from Campbell
Scientific. The antenna must be connected to the “Antenna” connector
of the RAVEN X modem. Contact a Campbell Scientific Applications
Technician for help in determining the best antenna for your
application.
o The C2446 is a dual-band, omnidirectional antenna for our
CDMA and GPRS digital-cellular modems. This antenna is
recommended for locations where cellular coverage is strong.
The C2446 includes a mount/u-bolt assembly that allows the
antenna to be mounted to a mast, crossarm, or user-supplied pole
(outer diameter of up to 1.5" (3.8 cm)).
o The C2445 9dBd Yagi Antenna is a higher gain antenna that
should be "aimed" at the service provider's antenna. The C2445 is
a 800 MHz antenna and bracket/u-bolt assembly for attaching the
antenna to a mast or post. The antenna comes with 10’ of cable.
This antenna is recommended for fringe areas that require a
higher gain antenna.
o The C2444 9dBd Yagi Antenna is a higher gain antenna that
should be "aimed" at the service provider's antenna. The C2444 is
a 800 MHz antenna and bracket/u-bolt assembly for attaching the
antenna to a mast or post. The antenna comes with 30’ of cable
and surge protection. This antenna is recommended for fringe
areas that require a higher gain antenna.
o The L18285 1 dBd omnidirectional antenna. This antenna is dual
band, covering both the 800 MHz and 1.9 GHz bands, and is
strongly recommended where cellular coverage is strong. The
L18285 includes a mount/u-bolt assembly for attaching the
antenna to a mast, post, or crossarm up to 1.5" (3.8 cm) in
diameter.
o The L21831 Half-Wave Dipole Whip Antenna is a lower gain
antenna used in transmitting short distances. It is an 800 MHz
cellular antenna that terminates in a SMA Male connector for
attachment to the modem. This antenna is intended for use inside
the enclosure. Please note that the backplate of the enclosure is a
grounded plane. If it is interposed between the antenna and the
cell tower, it may attenuate the strength of the transmission signal.
Simply turning the enclosure 90 to 180 degrees on its mounting
mast may solve weak transmission issues.
