2.2 Antenna Recommendations
 Omni Directional Antenna CC1W
base unit is equipped with an Omni-
directional antenna in order to provide
the widest possible signal coverage.
 RP-SMA Connector (female)
The antenna is provided with a
threaded, weatherproof RP-SMA
female connector. This connector
must be properly tightened to the
male connector on the enclosure.
 Vertical Alignment
In order to achieve the best
performance a vertical alignment
of the antenna must be ensured.
 Line-of-sight
Is important to find, whenever
possible, a spot full line of sight
with the receptor where no
obstacles reside between the path.
Note: Fresnel Zone, the area around
the visual line-of-sight that radio
waves spread out into after they
leave the antenna must be clear or
the signal strength will be weakened
due to reflections.
 Antenna Height
Taking advantage of the free
positioning of the base antenna,
a convenient place in height with
good clearance and away from
ground must be considered.
Note: The use of extension cables that
always represent attenuation and
signal strength losses should be
avoided if possible
