Description: O-ring, ethylene-propylene, 2.050 inches
diameter by 0.103 inch thick, 80 durometer
When mounting the antenna on rough surfaces, surfaces
which have already suffered significant environmental
damage (pitting, peeling paint, etc.), or surfaces that are not
sufficiently flat, it is recommended that an O-ring not be
used. O-rings need smooth, flat surfaces to work.
Instead, the groove on the antenna, which is normally used
for the O-ring, can be filled with an adhesive caulking
material that can bond to the aluminum antenna base and
the surface to which the antenna is being mounted. The caulk
seals out moisture and dirt.
Mounting and Sealing Antennas on Poles
Instead of mounting the modem antenna (DRA) on a flat
surface or bulkhead, OEMs can mount it on a pole with six M4
screws. A pole mount may be desirable in snowy locations, to
prevent wet ice or snow from building up to more than the
maximum allowable thickness of 20 centimeters (8 inches).
In a pole mounting, the antenna’s SMA connectors, which
are not self-sealing, are exposed to weather and precipitation.
Therefore, the SMA connectors should be sealed with a
commercially available coating for outdoor cable or electrical
connectors.
