COMMSCOPE CMAX-xxx Antennas Low PIM Directional High Capacity Venue

Product Information

The CMAX Antennas are a series of antennas designed for various applications. The specific models included in this installation guide are CMAX-DM22S-43-V53, CMAX-DM22S-D-V53, CMAX-DM30-43-V53, CMAX-DM60-43-V53, CMAX-DM30-43-UWI53, CMAX-DM60-43-UWI53, and\ CMAX-DMW3030-43I53.

These antennas come with different mounting options and can be installed on walls or poles. The installation requires basic tools such as a wrench with a width of 13 mm.

Assembly

To assemble the antenna, follow these steps:

1. Fit the three parts together: screw, spring washer, and washer.
2. Fasten the parts with screws M8 x 16, washers, and spring washers. Apply a torque of 27 Nm.

Wall Mounting

To mount the antenna on a wall, follow these steps:

1. Mark four holes onto the wall as shown in the provided drawing.
2. Drill four holes into the wall and insert appropriate dowels into the holes.
3. Attach the antenna pedestal to the wall.

Pole Mounting (200 mm max. pole diameter)

Pole Mounting with Lashing Straps (suggestion)

Note: This procedure is for reference only. Other materials can be used to mount the bracket and antenna to a pole. Make sure the installation can support the load.

1. Lay proper lashing straps around the pole and lead them through the mounting bracket.
2. Adjust the bracket in the antenna direction and fasten it securely.

Optional Pole Mounting Kit

An optional pole-mounting kit (ID 7814722) can be ordered separately. The recommended pole diameter for this kit is 60 – 150 mm. Follow these steps to mount the antenna using the kit:

1. Insert four bolts M8x200 and four filet washers into the antenna mounting bracket.
2. Insert the pole mounting bracket into the bolts and place filet washers, spring washers, and M8 nuts over each bolt.
3. Tighten the four M8 nuts with a torque of 27 Nm.
4. Hang the safety wire and attach it to a suitable structure for fall protection.

Note:
Please read the complete description before starting the installation. Be sure that connectors are properly sealed from water if no cables are connected to them after installation.

Tools required:

• Wrench, width: 13 mm

Assembly

Fit the 3 parts together and fasten with screws M8 x 16, washers, and spring washers (M8 torque: 27 Nm).

Wall Mounting

1. Mark 4 holes onto the wall as shown in the drawing above.
2. Drill 4 holes into the wall and insert appropriate dowels into holes.
3. Attach the antenna pedestal.

Pole Mounting (200 mm max. pole diameter)

Pole Mounting with Lashing Straps (suggestion)

Note:
This pole mounting procedure is for reference only. Other than the shown pole mounting material can be used to mount bracket and antenna to a pole. Make sure the installation will safely support the combined load of the bracket, antenna, and connected cables.

1. Lay proper lashing straps around pole and lead them through mounting bracket.
2. Adjust bracket in antenna direction and fasten bracket.

Optional Pole Mounting Kit
Optionally, a pole-mounting kit can be ordered separately from the supplier (ID 7814722). The recommended pole diameter for this mounting kit is 60 – 150 mm. To mount an antenna to a pole using this kit, proceed as follows:

1. Insert the four bolts M8x200 (2) with four of the filet washers (5) into the antenna mounting bracket (see detailed illustration of bolt head).
2. Insert the pole mounting bracket into these four bolts and place the filet & spring washers (4 & 5) and the M8 nuts (3) over each bolt (detailed illustration).
3. Tighten the four M8 nuts observing the specified torque of 27 Nm.
4. Hang in the safety wire (6) and attach it to a suitable structure for fall protection.

Antenna Mounting

DM60 Antenna Mounting

Attach antenna and fasten it with washers and M8 nuts (M8 torque: 27 Nm).

DM22S/DM30 Antenna Mounting

Depending on space available and adjusting angle, the DM22S/DM30 antenna can be mounted onto the pedestal in 3 alternatives (see circle marks in picture to the left-hand side).

DMH3030/DMW3030 Antenna Mounting

Attach antenna and fasten it with washers and M8 nuts (M8 torque: 27 Nm).

CMAX-3030/30/60-43-US Antenna Mounting

Attach antenna and fasten it with washers and M8 nuts (M8 torque: 27 Nm).

Azimuth Angle

1. Loosen the 3 fixing screws.(Do NOT unscrew them completely.)
2. Adjust your desired angle. The complete antenna pedestal can be swiveled to the left- / right-hand side by up to 55°.
3. Tighten the fixing screws.

Elevation Angle

1. Loosen the 4 fixing screws at the left- and right-hand side. (Do NOT unscrew them completely.)
2. Adjust your desired angle.
3. Tighten fixing screws.

Antenna Cable

Connected antenna cables can be arranged and fixed with cable ties as shown.

Outdoor Installation

NOTICE : For outdoor use, the antenna must be mounted bottom down, i.e. drain holes showing to the ground. Otherwise, water might penetrate into the antenna and damage it. To indicate top and bottom, an arrow at the rear side of the antenna points to the top:

Note: For outdoor use, we recommend removing the plugs from the drain holes if the antenna is exposed to high humidity or rainfall.
To do so, remove the plugs from the drain holes (up to four) at the bottom of the antenna with a knife or a flat screwdriver. The below illustration shows the location of the drain holes, design and/or size of the antenna may be different.
