4.3 16dBi 5.8 - 5.9 GHz Sector Base-Station Antenna
This section is designed to support the installation, operation and maintenance of the
16dBi directional sector antenna. Due to it’s small size, ease of mounting and low
maintenance it is most commonly used in conjunction with the Trailblazer system. To
avoid harm to persons or damage to the product please ensure that you have read
through the safety, unpacking and installation sections before proceeding.

The 16dBi directional sector antenna includes adjustable Heavy Duty brackets to
provide down or up tilt mounting to a mast up to 3 inch O.D. These outdoor antenna
systems are designed to provide maximum gain in the 5.8-5.9GHz band as well as
survive high wind environments.

Key Features and Benefits:
 Patented printed circuit board design. Best performance-to-price
ratio.
 Attractive, low profile UV stable housing. Blends well with indoor
and outdoor environments where aesthetic considerations are
important.

mounted in vertical or horizontal polarity.
 Adjustable mounting brackets for outdoor mounting. Provide
maximum flexibility for outdoor installations.
4.3.2 Unpacking
The 18dBi directional flat panel is smaller in size and therefore may be packaged
with other items. Thoroughly inspect the package and the antenna inside before
proceeding. Immediately report any damage to the shipper.

Included with the antenna you will find the L brackets for both antenna and poll
mounting. These L brackets allow for up and down tilt adjustments. Poll brackets
