27011668 Installing Antennas
27011668 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.
