Installation Instructions
LP[G]AM Series
SW3-704 – v2
Introduction
The L[G]AM antenna series is designed for M2M / IOT applications requiring MiMo / diversity support. The antenna has a rugged, low profile housing with two elements supporting 4G/3G/2G and 3.5GHz 5G bands and has integral 1 or 3m length RG174 coaxial cables. The LG version incorporates an active GPS /GNSS antenna.
Electrical Safety Note
This product contains an active GPS/GNSS antenna. Rated voltage: 3-5VDC Rated
current: 20mA maximum.
The supply to this device must be provided with over-current protection of 1A
maximum.
Mounting requirements and selecting location
Select a mounting location. Ensure that there is adequate under panel
clearance. Measure to check for central position if applicable.
If the antenna will be co-located with other antennas or roof mounted
equipment please try to ensure at least 30cm (12”) of clearance around the
L[G]AM antenna in order to avoid de-tuning and interference issues.
Ground plane requirement. This antenna range does not require a conductive
ground plane in order to operate. Performance will vary slightly depending on
whether a ground plane is present or not.
Prepare and drill hole
Mask panel area around hole position to protect paintwork and headliner.
Drill a pilot hole, and then increase to 19mm (3/4”), ensuring that
drill/cutter bit does not contact headliner. Clean area around the hole,
carefully removing all swarf. Remove paint and primer from under panel surface
to ensure adequate earth contact by washer and nut. Apply some petroleum
jelly or paint around the hole to prevent corrosion.
Fitting the antenna
Remove the protective backing from the underside of the antenna and feed the coaxial cables through the panel. Position the antenna over the hole ensuring correct orientation and stick the antenna to the panel by applying firm downward pressure. Assemble the nut and washer from underside and tighten – the maximum recommended mounting torque is 5Nm (3.7ft/lb).
Routing and terminating coaxial cable(s)
Route the coaxial cables to the radio equipment, taking care to avoid running them adjacent to any existing wiring or fouling any moving components. When installing the antenna on a vehicle, the cables must not be routed in front of any airbag device SMA plug connectors are fitted as standard, which should suit most devices, if not, use an adaptor or change connector(s) as required.
Commission and test
Check GPS/GNSS cable (if applicable):
- Check the GPS/GNSS cable with DC to measure high resistance.
- Connect the GPS/GNSS cable to the GPS/GNSS receiver and check for satellite acquisition.
Check comms cables:
- Carry out VSWR check, the VSWR on all feeds should measure <3:1 in transmit band.
- Connect the Cellular/LTE cables.
Notices
CAUTION
To comply with FCC RF Exposure requirements in section 1.1310 of the FCC
Rules, antennas used with this device must be installed to provide a
separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons to satisfy RF exposure
compliance.
DO NOT:
- operate the transmitter when someone is within 20 cm of the antenna.
- operate the equipment in an explosive atmosphere.
