Attaching the Direct Mount Standard (5.15 dBi or 5.5 dBi) 915 MHz
Antenna
Warning! Do not install an 8.15 dBi antenna directly on the CCU or Repeater.
Antenna installation directly on the CCU will compromise mechanical integrity and will
not meet the compliance requirement for a loss of 2.2 dB between the CCU or
Repeater and the 8.15 dBi antenna.
1. Slide the black rubber boot onto the base of the antenna as shown in the following
illustration.
2. Screw the antenna onto the top of the collector or repeater. Be careful not to cross- thread
the connectors. Do not over-tighten.
3. Push the rubber boot as close as possible to the top of the collector or repeater as shown in
the following illustration.
