Mounting the Antenna
The Antenna mount is intended for flat walls of varying construction. Please contact your
certified 3D-iD system integrator for other mounting applications.
1. Using the appropriate hardware, securely attach the circular baseplate of the mount to a
flat surface in the desired location. Note: As shown, ensure that at least 12” of clearance
is left between the baseplate and any nearby ceilings and walls to allow for full adjustment
of the Antenna once it is mounted.
2. Attach the mount’s post to the base plate. Tighten the lock nut with your pliers.
3. Prepare the Antenna by attaching the small, rectangular mounting plate to the back of the
Antenna with the two (2) included screws and washers.
4. Attach the Antenna to the mount by aligning the mounting plate on the Antenna with the
threaded bolt at the end of the post and rotating the Antenna until it stops. Tighten the
locknuts to secure the Antenna.
11.Positioning the Antenna
1. Loosen both set screws on the mount with the enclosed allen wrench. Align the Antenna so it
is oriented in the
direction indicated in the completed site survey. Tighten both set screws.
2. Attach the Antenna to its appropriate Coaxial Cable (see the Coaxial Cable Installation
section of this manual for
further information). For tension relief, insert a tie wrap through the guide on the back of
the Antenna and secure
the Coaxial Cable with the tie-wrap. Note: When placing your Antenna, keep in mind that
metallic objects, dense walls, microwave ovens and other obstacles can alter radio signals,
limiting the Antenna's effectiveness. See your certified system integrator for proper Antenna
placement.

Cell Controller Installation and Maintenance
15.Warnings
Always place the Cell Controller in a well ventilated area. Never block the Cell Controller’s
air vents.
Keep the Cell Controller away from water. Never attach the Antenna cables while the Cell
Controller is powered on! Equipment damage may result! Do not overtighten the Coaxial Cables!
(max. 8 inch-lbs.) Do not tightly bend (< 0.5” bend radius) the Coaxial Cables! Changes and
modifications not expressly approved by PinPoint Corporation could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment.
Included in the Cell Controller package
1 Cell Controller
1 AC power cord

Cell Controller Placement
A Cell Controller must be placed close enough to its corresponding Antennas so that the
Coaxial cables connecting the two can be installed without stretching, kinking (< 0.5” bend
radius) or otherwise damaging them. The Cell Controller must be located in proximity to a
standard AC power outlet (grounded) and an appropriate 10Base-T
Ethernet jack. Note: The Cell Controller must be placed in a location with adequate
ventilation. The Cell Controller must have at least one foot of clearance above it and six
inches behind it. Nothing should be placed above the Cell Controller’s ventilation slots.
17.Mounting the Cell Controller
The Cell Controller may be placed upon any sufficiently sturdy, flat surface such as a table
or a desk. Ensure that it will not fall or tip over. Remember to allow for adequate
ventilation. Please contact your PinPoint sales representative or certified 3D-iD system
integrator for other mounting options.
