Chapter 5: Antenna Installation Procedures
To install the GPS antennas
1 Run the two coaxial cables supplied with each antenna from the racks to the intended location of the
GPS antennas, such as the base station’s roof or tower.
NOTE: Ensure that the cable remains clear of any sources of potential interference,
such as transmitting equipment or power lines.
2 Vertically install two 1-inch-diameter pipes in a location that provides the maximum unobstructed view of
the sky.
3 Run a coaxial cable through the center of each pipe.
4 Attach a pipe adapter to the top of each pipe. Ensure that the pipe adapters are connected tightly to the
pipes by tightening the set screw. Use a 5/32-inch Allen key to tighten the set screw.
5 Attach a GPS antenna to the end of each coaxial cable.
The GPS antennas use female TNC connectors.
6 Attach the GPS antennas to each pipe adapter.
