Key risks
The list below gives the main hotspots during the antenna installation.
Connector installation procedure must be strictly followed in order to avoid specific problems VSWR
on cables and to maximize the efficiency and lifetime of connections.
Specific attention must also be paid to ensure waterproofness and labeling.
Labeling
Coaxial cable must be clearly marked closed to the base station with a label : SIGFOX – 868 (or 902)
Tables, electrical circuit breakers must be clearly marked with a label : SIGFOX
When connections are made and waterproofness has been made and checked, final labeling can be
implemented. All labels must be easily legible.
No hidden label in the cable tray.
10 MAST MOUNTING
In order to mount the mini base station on a mast (outdoor installation), you need to screw the mast mounting
plate on bottom of the station. Take care to insert the assembly rods of the bracket before screwing the plate.
Once the plate is screwed, you can insert the bracket on the rods, put the washers first and then the nuts to
maintain the bracket.
Pay attention to screw the plate so that, once mounted on the mast, the RF connector and the connectivity cover
are located on the underside of the station.
