27011172 Antenna Installation
27011172 antennas are directly installed on APs. You only need to tighten nuts.
The following figure shows the antenna installation.
- It is recommended that you connect a 50 ohm RF load to an idle antenna interface and wrap the RF load with both the insulation and waterproof tape.
- Wrap the connectors in single-layer PVC insulation tape, triple-layer waterproof tape, and then triple-layer PVC insulation tape.
- Before wrapping the waterproof tape, stretch the tape evenly until it is 1/2 the width as before. With each layer of tape wrap the cable tightly and ensure that each layer covers more than 50% of the layer beneath it.
- Wrap the triple-layer tape from bottom to top, from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top again.
- To achieve the optimal coverage effect, it is recommended that you install the omnidirectional antenna four to six meters above ground.
- When installing an antenna, tightly hold the antenna connector and tighten it using a torque wrench. The recommended tightening torque is 0.8 N·m to 1.0 N·m.
- Tighten the nut of the AP's RF connector with a torque of no more than 1.2 N·m.
