Installation Instructions2x2 MiMo Omni-Directional AntennaBS[G]M-6-60SW3-963 - v11. IntroductionThe BS[G]M-6-60 is a range of omni-directional tube antennas for 4G/5G applications requiring support for 2x2 MiMo with optional GPS/GNSS. Ideal forfixed site, marine or failover applications the antenna is suitable for external or internal mounting. The antenna is supplied with a wall mount bracket, withbrackets for mast or rail mounting and a sealing gasket for panel / deck mounting.Electrical Safety NoteVariants of this product contain an active GPS/GNSS antenna. Rated voltage: 3-5VDC Rated current: 20mA maximum.The supply to this device must be provided with overcurrent protection of 1A maximum.2. Planning and InstallationTo minimize the effects of surrounding objects, the antenna should be located as far away from other structures as possible. If fitted with GPS/GNSS theantenna should have a clear view of the sky. The orientation of the antenna should be vertical with the cable exiting downwards.A bracket is supplied, allowing fitment to a wall, rail or mast (18-50mm (3/4-2”) diameter) using the u-bolts / clamps provided. The antenna bracket has4x 8mm (5/16”) clearance holes which also allow screw mounting. When mounting the antenna to a metal housing, device enclosure or mast care shouldbe taken to ensure that the antenna housing is elevated above the metal surface to which it is mounted. Ensure that the selected location will enable thecoaxial cable to be easily connected and routed to the equipment. If mounting the antenna using screws it is important to check for adequate under panelclearance.The antenna can also be mounted to flat, level panels of up to 3mm (0.1”) thickness using the supplied M6x1 screws and gasket. For thicker panels it maybe necessary to source longer M6x1 screws. The mounting panel can be conductive or non-conductive. Select a mounting location taking care to ensurethat there is at least 300mm (12”) of clearance from proximate metal objects. Ensure that there is adequate clearance under the mounting panel andmeasure to check for central positioning if necessary.3. Safety Notes• If the antenna will be fitted to an existing mast, please ensure that it will not overload it.• Ensure that the installation location can be safely accessed with the equipment that you have available.• If mounting to a wall in a position which is accessible care should be taken to ensure that no one comes within 0.3m (1’) of the antenna during use.g p ( ) gParts of the antenna are an electrical conductor. Contact with power lines can result in death, or serious injury. Do not install the antenna wherethere is any possibility of contact with (or high voltage arc-over from) power cables. The antenna and supporting mast must not be close to anypower lines during installation, removal or in the event that part of the system should accidentally fall.If the antenna is installed above the roof line or in an exposed location, it is advisable to fit lightning surge arrestors in the coaxial cable feedlines. Suitable units should be sourced and installed as per the manufacturer instructions. The installer is responsible for determining if this is arequirement for the antenna installation.
