1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this 2.4GHz High Gain Antenna Kit. This product is an
outdoor/indoor antenna kit which extends the transmitting and receiving power of a
IEEE 802.11b compliant Wireless Access Point. With this kit, your wireless network
will have extraordinary transmission distances and wider coverage range.
This kit comes with a 14dBi directional antenna or an 8dBi Omni-directional antenna,
surge arrestor (lightning protector), extension cable, wall/pole mounting kit, and other
accessories. Installers can easily and conveniently build a wireless network in the
interior or external area of building. The kit is completely waterproof and made out of
corrosion resistant material to withstand harsh environments.

2 Installation
This chapter describes the installation procedure for the antenna kit.
2.1 Installation Guidelines
Please observe the following guidelines when you are installing the antenna kit:
Avoid placing behind obstacles
Obstructions such as concrete walls, trees, power lines and thick metals limit radio
signal penetration and reduce throughput and range of the wireless device which
the antenna connects to.
Mount the antenna vertically
This antenna is vertically polarized. Since the antenna has vertical gain, it is very
important to mount the antenna in a vertical (not leaning) position for optimal
performance.
Use a surge arrestor for antenna installed outdoor
Surge arrestor can protect your wireless device from high voltage surges caused
by discharge and transient at the antenna.
Do not point the antenna in the direction of people or animals
You should mount the antenna in such manner so as to minimize the potential for
human or animal contact during normal operation.
2.2 Mounting the Antenna
2.2.1 14dBi Directional Panel Antenna
Wall Mount configuration
1. Fix one of the M-shaped fixing to the back of the antenna.
2. Fix the half-round metal stand with a plastic wall tiger and screw horizontally in
the desired mounting position.
3. Connect the other M-shaped metal fixing and the triangle stand with the
corresponding screws and nuts.
4. Fix the triangle stand to the half-round metal stand. The antenna can be
horizontally aligned with this connection.
5. Connect the two M-shaped metal fixings together with the M8 x 110 bolt. The
antenna can be vertically aligned with this connection.
5
Pole Mount Configuration
Using a Ring Clamp
1. Fix one of the M-shaped metal fixing to the back of the antenna.
2. Perforate the ring clamp into the other M-shaped metal fixing as shown in the
diagram.
3. Fix the clamp on a secure ironed pole in the desired position, the diameter of the
pole is preferably less than 2 inches.
4. Connect the two M-shaped metal fixings together with the M8 x 110 bolt. The
antenna can be vertically aligned with this connection.
Using a Screw Clamp
1. Fix one of the M-shaped metal fixing to the back of the antenna.
2. Push the two M8 x 110 bolts through the other M-shaped metal fixing with two
washers and both screw clamps.
6
3. Fix the screw clamps on a secure ironed pole in the desired position.
4. Connect the two M-shaped metal fixings together with the M8 x 110 bolt. The
antenna can be vertically aligned with this connection.
2.2.2 8dBi Omni-directional Antenna
Wall Mount configuration
1. Connect the interconnecting cable to the antenna.
2. Put the interconnecting cable into the metal tube and connect the metal tube to the
antenna.
3. Clip the two U-shaped screws to the metal tube with two of the screw clamps.
4. Connect the four screw clamps together using the M8 x 110 bolts.
5. Fix the screw clamps on a secure ironed pole in the desired position.
7
2.3 Installing the Surge Arrestor
With the surge arrestor attached to the lightning protector of the building, all devices
downstream are protected by the ground from lightning strikes. Please follow the
steps below to install the surge arrestor:
1. Connect one end of the surge arrestor Y to the antenna.
2. Connect the other end of the surge arrestor X to the extension cable linked to the
Wireless Access Point.
3. Connect the lightning protector of the building to the surge arrestor Z.
8
2.4 Connecting to the Wireless
Access Point
The Wireless Access Point is connected to the antenna through an extension cable. A
connector converter attached to the kit is used to convert the SMB connector to the
RP-SMA connector. It is applied to Wireless Access Point with SMB connector.
Please connect the Wireless Access Point together according to the diagram.
