2.1.4.2 Antenna Mounting Instruction
For best reception: connect the antenna directly to the wiDR, if the device is not
installed in a metal panel or enclosure.
If the wiDR is behind a metal panel or in a cabinet, use a coaxial cable to
position the antenna outside outside of the enclosure in the open air.
Use the shortest cable that can reach a suitable location. The antenna on this
wiDR and any End Devices should be installed in a vertical position, pointing
towards the sky.
Metallic structure should be kept at least 0.8” (2 cm), although 2.4” (6 cm)
is recommended away from the antenna.
Any casing that encloses the antenna should be plastic. In addition, it is
also wise to avoid plastic case with dark fillers or colorants.
Refer to Section 5 for more Environmental / Operating Conditions.
